The Misplaced Pages Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Misplaced Pages Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Misplaced Pages and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Misplaced Pages Asian Month contest!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

New Page Reviewing
Hello, Ɱ.
I noticed you've done some constructive editing recently.
Would you please consider becoming a New Page Reviewer? Reviewing/patrolling a page doesn't take much time but it requires a good understanding of Misplaced Pages policies and guidelines; currently Misplaced Pages needs experienced users at this task. (After gaining the flag, patrolling is not mandatory. One can do it at their convenience). But kindly read the tutorial before making your decision. Thanks.

Hello, Ɱ. Voting in the 2017 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23.59 on Sunday, 10 December. All users who registered an account before Saturday, 28 October 2017, made at least 150 mainspace edits before Wednesday, 1 November 2017 and are not currently blocked are eligible to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Misplaced Pages arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Thanks for the willingness to help. I'm not sure what each of the testcases page examples represent, but the last one still has a caption missing, does that indicate that there's still a problem? I was mostly trying to get an image and caption visible on the High Line article. The caption hadn't been visible for a long time, I think, due to this error. My sandbox version fixed it, but a more permanent solution would be awesome. As long as you can make the template display the caption in that article, I'm happy. ɱ(talk) · vbm · coi)04:31, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Each example on the testcase page exercises the template in a different way -- for each section, the left version is the live template, while the right version is the sandbox.
Yeah, on Chrome on my pc and android it doesn't show the map caption at all in the non-sandbox version, in those last two cases. ɱ(talk) · vbm · coi)06:06, 4 December 2017 (UTC)
Oh, sorry. I wasn't clear. The map caption should appear in the sandbox version (right-hand column) for you. I put the proposed fix into the sandbox version. If it shows up in the right-hand column, then we're good. I'll promote the sandbox to the main template now. —hike395 (talk) 14:59, 4 December 2017 (UTC)

In addition to the party, the event will be a participatory unconference, with keynotes, plenary panels, lightning talks, and of course open space sessions.
And there will be cake.

Yeah, part of the town (going up the Escarpment slopes to [[North Mountain (Catskills)|North Mountain, the town's highest point, is inside the Blue Line. But if we start adding the article to the town cat on that account, we have a very long list of other town categories that we'd have to add, as well. Do you think we should?
Another point I would make: The town and village are probably named after the creek, but we're not as sure it lent its name to the mountains (and, by extension, the park) as well. Daniel Case (talk) 18:45, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
@Daniel Case: Sorry. I'm not doing much today, we only celebrated last night. I do usually include geographic features in a town or village's cat, even if it's just a portion. But I'd understand if a place like the Park, which is in so many towns, would be an exception. Either way works for me. ɱ(talk) · vbm · coi)18:55, 25 December 2017 (UTC)
Sorry to take so long to respond. The greater (and indeed, it is greater) issue is that if you're going to do this, you'd then want to similarly categorize the Adirondack Park into every town it contains, and given that it contains two counties in their entirety, and significant portions of nine others, that would be a awful lot of categories to add.
It might really be better to create a "Towns in the Catskill Park", or even "populated places in the Catskill Park" category (and same for the Adirondack Park) and handle it that way, assuming this idea would pass WP:OCAT. Daniel Case (talk) 19:16, 29 December 2017 (UTC)

Part of Misplaced Pages's global 17th birthday celebration, Misplaced Pages Day NYC 2018 at Ace Hotel will include a mini-conference of scheduled panels as well as unconference style talks and discussions proposed by attendees on the day of the event. We are very excited to announce speakers such as Jason Scott (Internet Archive), Jackie Koerner (Visiting Scholar, Wiki Ed), and Andrew Lih (Wikimedia DC), as well as a fantastic line-up of panels that highlight projects and issues of relevance to the Wikimedia NYC community.
We also hope for the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects.
I'm still not totally sure at this point that I will be able to do the presentation. But I had indeed been thinking about that aspect of it, although mainly for our events. And I will incorporate what you wrote. Daniel Case (talk) 17:31, 13 January 2018 (UTC)
I tried to help you by moving your comment and my replies to the appropriate talkpage. I have pinged the people involved. I've just now noticed you've posted an empty threat and insults towards Jytdog (linked in the Article talk pages section above); but Jytdog is the one you gotta talk to...

Request for your feedback on "Like a Resume" box on John Langeloth Loeb Jr. Page
Hi Ɱ - I am working on updates for John Langeloth Loeb Jr.'s page and see that you have added the "Like a Resume" tag to this page on November 8, 2016. There have been many updates to this page since that time, including the addition of several citations. I would like your advice on what additional updates, if any, are needed so that the "Like a Resume" tag/box can be removed.
When you have a few minutes, please let me know what you think. I welcome your feedback and as much information as possible to help me learn what updates are necessary to merit removing the "Like a Resume" box.
The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
You can "move" articles from sandboxes to the mainspace, in which case you keep the edit history. I think you are doing cut and paste moves which are described at Misplaced Pages:Administrators' guide/Fixing cut-and-paste moves. Or otherwise, I could be missing something. What you did is fine because you do cite the source but history merging could be done also, if I am seeing this correctly.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Rosemarie Tissi requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://www.designculture.it/interview/rosmarie-tissi.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Misplaced Pages takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.
If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Misplaced Pages to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Misplaced Pages:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Misplaced Pages:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Misplaced Pages's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:17, 11 March 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to join Women in Red
Thank you for creating several articles on women and their works over the past few weeks. We have become aware of your contributions thanks to research undertaken by Bobo.03 at the University of Minnesota. We think you might be interested in becoming a member of our WikiProject Women in Red where we are actively trying to reduce Misplaced Pages's content gender gap. You can join by using the box at the top of the WiR page. But if you would like to receive news of our activities without becoming a member, you can simply add your name to our mailing list. In any case, thank you for actively contributing to the coverage of women (currently, 17.55% of English Misplaced Pages's biographies).
