After reviewing your request for the account creator right, I have enabled the flag on your account. Keep in mind these things:
- The account creator right removes the limit on the maximum number of new accounts that can be created in a 24-hour period.
- The account creator right is not a status symbol. If it remains unused, it is likely to be removed. Abuse of the account creator right will result in its removal by an administrator.
If you no longer require the right, let me know, or ask any other administrator. Drop a note if you run into troubles or have any questions about appropriate/inappropriate use of the account creator right. Happy editing! — xaosflux Talk 23:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)
- Note, this is for your special event, Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle and may be removed after February, without restriction for reapplying in the future for other events. Wishing you best luck with your event, — xaosflux Talk 23:46, 2 February 2015 (UTC)

If you are attending Wikimania, you are invited to apply to the Ally Skills Workshop! Space is limited and we may not be able to accept all applications, so apply now. More information, including a link to the application form, is here:
Ally Skills Workshop description and application form
People of all genders are welcome to attend. Unfortunately, travel scholarships for Wikimania are already closed and we don't know of any other sources of travel funding. If you know anyone else attending Wikimania who might be interested in attending this workshop, please encourage them to apply!
Thank you for your time,

Valerietai (talk) 22:17, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
- @Valerietai: I'm so glad to hear the initiative was approved. I did not attend Wikimania this summer. I hope the workshop was a success and the project is off to a running start in terms of raising awareness about sexism for Wikipedia admins. I look forward to a future of empathetic admins and less tolerance for sexism :). Shameran81 (talk) 16:47, 23 July 2015 (UTC)

Re: Group into the dog rapper vandal ip block - ! Please help
[edit]Hi Monika, sorry about the inconvenience. I've granted you IP block exemption so this block shouldn't affect you at the workshop. I'd trust you to have it permanently from your user page and contributions, but it's strictly meant to be granted on an as-needed basis. Therefore when the workshop is over, let me know and I'll remove it again (or I'll remove it by midnight eastern on the 24th, whichever comes first). If you do end up needing it often, I or another admin could grant you the right on a more permanent basis. Good luck for the workshop! Graham87 01:25, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- I've taken it away for now because the event is over. And I also apologise for not reading the workshop page properly; it seems that I granted you the right about 40 minutes after the workshop you were leading was scheduled to have finished. (The dog and rapper vandal would have probably yeled "PLEASE ACCEPT! PLEASE ACCEPT!" by now, but I digress.) You sent me your message at 3:36AM my time, which is why I didn't get it until it was presumably too late. You probably would have gotten a faster response if you'd used the admins' noticeboard. I hope the workshop went OK, despite this hiccup. Graham87 10:51, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- Sounds good Graham, thanks again for all the quick help with this as I was anxious that there would be a problem. Everything went very well, which is great. I am still puzzled why my IP is looped in to this block, but hopefully that won't cause me any other problems in the future. We were able to have a successful event and enrolled about 40 new users! Take care. Shameran81 (talk) 20:07, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
- You were affected by the block because you use T-Mobile, just like the dog and rapper vandal does. Perhaps I blocked too wide a range ... but it did very much slow him down. Graham87 00:50, 28 February 2017 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply Graham Shameran81 (talk) 19:23, 8 March 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Viola Wyse
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Viola Wyse, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. TopCipher (talk) 18:46, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
Nomination of Viola Wyse for deletion
[edit]A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Viola Wyse is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Viola Wyse until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. TopCipher (talk) 18:59, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 6, at Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW Seattle
[edit]Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Despite its wide reach, content on Wikipedia suffers from the bias of its editors: white, technically inclined, English-speaking men that live in developed, majority-Christian countries. This represents an alarming absence of voices in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. In an effort to change this, the Jake is organizing a Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, May 6th, 1 - 5 pm. Our mission is to bring together diverse communities to participate in Wikipedia editing, and improve its coverage of queer people and women of color in the arts. We will provide childcare, snacks, and tutorials for the beginner editor. Bring your laptop, power-cord and ideas for entries that need updating or creation. No previous Wikipedia experience required! RSVP at and stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.

- @Gerda Arendt: thank you for your note and the numerical update :) It's my honor to be included. And I have to say it is a nice coincidence to hear from you; today, a room of library staff and Wikimedians in Ohio were walked through a demonstration of how to evaluate a Wikipedia article, how to think about the purpose of Wikipedia, how to communicate with other Wikipedians. And the example article we used was the FA article on Kafka, showcasing how you and PumpkinSky gracefully ushered the piece into FA status. Thank YOU for all you do.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm
[edit]the meetup page for Art+Feminism. | Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color. This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm | Jacob Lawrence Gallery, UW, Seattle |

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos
[edit]Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM
[edit]the meetup page for Art+Feminism. | Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women. Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link. When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM |
May you join this month's editathons from WiR!

A KC kitten for you!
[edit]Hi there. I see you were involved with a Kansas City meetup a while back. I'm trying to find the main page for the group. Google shows a lot of subpages but no main page! I've been on the invitation list for years and never got a message about the countless subsequent events posted. Does KC really not have a main meetup page?! How is anyone ever going to hear of anything or plan anything? Thanks!
— Smuckola(talk) 00:49, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- User:Smuckola I wish I had an answer for you! I was only a visitor in Kansas City, but User:Kclibrarian may know more. Good luck! Shameran81 (talk) 06:23, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- Okay guess what, I already quit bleating and just made the page, Wikipedia:Meetup/Kansas City. Thanks for your inspiration. :) — Smuckola(talk) 08:52, 21 February 2020 (UTC)
- HIGH FIVES!!! Looks like fun would love to visit KC again. Enjoy and thanks for your efforts. Shameran81 (talk) 05:10, 26 February 2020 (UTC)
