You are invited! An Art+Feminism Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon will be held in Portland, Oregon, on March 12, 2022. Learn more here!

Misplaced Pages is one of the most-visited sites on the internet—and it’s created by people who volunteer their time to write and edit pages. Learn how to edit Misplaced Pages and be a part of shaping our understanding of our world. In this workshop, volunteer Misplaced Pages editors will be on hand to train participants on how to get started editing pages and offer ideas for which pages you can pitch in to help improve. Show up at any point during the four hours to get started!

Also: Free burritos!! We will be providing vegan, vegetarian, and meat burritos from food cart Loncheria Las Mayos. Alder Commons has a large, fenced playground. Children are welcome! Some computers will be available to borrow, but if you have a laptop, please bring it to use. We will also be leading an online training for new editors at 11am-12pm PST. Please feel free to join that training if you are not able to show up IRL.

This event is part of the international month of events organized by Art+Feminism, which is building a community of activists committed to closing information gaps related to gender, feminism, and the arts, beginning with Misplaced Pages. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 14:36, 8 March 2022 (UTC)

Permission Request

I came across some of your photos on the Tualatin, Oregon wiki page. I work at a local credit union (a not-for-profit) and we're looking for some local photographs that may be used in our new branch.

I wanted to see if I could get permission to print and post photos in our branch? I'm not sure the best way to attribute the photos would be - perhaps adding your name to the bottom of them?

Please let me know if this is something you'd be amenable to. I greatly appreciate your time! Afoster2022 (talk) 21:46, 15 November 2022 (UTC)

Your (or someone else) assessment of Ahmed Umar (artist)

Hi. I’m not sure if it was you or someone else who rated/assessed Ahmed Umar (artist) article as a start. To be honest it was a bit disappointing as I though the article should at least get a C. anyway, I wonder if you are able to give a feedback to help improving the quality of the article (even you if were not the one to assess it am sure you have expertise to weigh in) FuzzyMagma (talk) 00:39, 23 November 2022 (UTC)

The issue is the early life section. Two sentences cover about 20 years of their life, or more than half of their life. I understand little is known, but without more the article is incomplete. We have articlex that have all there is to know about 2000 year old Romans, but when that article is only a paragraph long, it is still a stub. Aboutmovies (talk) 05:04, 24 November 2022 (UTC)

Got that .. will revert the rating back then. Hopefully with time more information reveals itself and that section improves. Thnx @Aboutmovies … FuzzyMagma (talk) 20:58, 27 November 2022 (UTC)

Draft, Bill Carmody

Hi! I see you are a member of WikiProject Law. I am seeking feedback on a draft I created about trial attorney Bill Carmody, of Susman Godfrey, who has been profiled in the press several times because of the size and prominence of his cases. I have explained more here: User talk:Backyard116/sandbox/Bill Carmody/Seeking feedback. He’s a personal connection of mine, so impartial advice on notability and neutral point of view would be greatly appreciated. Backyard116 (talk) 15:31, 13 July 2023 (UTC)
