Hi there,
look guys someone deleted my pages promoting our work in Kosovo and Albania
from my user page saying they are of no use to the wikipedia
can someone please comment on that?
Gerard was at the event in Albania that was supposedly not helping the
wikipedia to talk about wikipedia there.
Milos was at the event in 2009 to talk about wikipedia as well. I think many
of you might have heard about the work I have been doing to promote
wikipedia, and now all my user pages on those topics have been deleted.

- WP:WEBHOST <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WEBHOST> -
Promotional material about the user's activities outside Wikipedia, nothing
useful to Wikipedia
thank,

Hi,
The Wikimedia announce list has foundation-l as reply-to: I just
replied to a mail Pavel send to the announce list and got this message:
Due to a large amount of spam, emails from non-members of this list
are now automatically rejected. If you have a valuable contribution to
the list but would rather not subscribe to it, please send an email to
foundation-l-owner(a)lists.wikimedia.org and we will forward your post
to the list. Please be aware that all messages to this list are
archived and viewable for the public. If you have a confidential
communication to make, please rather emailinfo(a)wikimedia.org
That's very annoying and confusing. I now had to subscribe to a list on which I don't want to be to get my message through. I propose to either:
* Set a different reply-to: for the announce list
* Don't auto reject messages

Could you include the report in the future instead of just a link?
Thank you,

Hi everyone,
As you may be aware, we accepted with regret the resignation of one of the
members of the ombudsman commission. Herbythyme will be missed. However,
given the need to fill the seat, I asked for volunteers and received several
very promising candidates, so this seemed a very good time to introduce a
modification to the process.
Instead of nominating one person for the commission, I'm nominating two: one
to serve the unexpired term, and one alternate, who will serve as a
non-voting advisor to the commission this year, and then remain on for
another full term. This provides us with knowledge transfer from one
commission to another, and also allows us to get the maximum number of
highly qualified candidates the experience of serving on the commission.
The user that I am nominating to fill the unexpired term is [[User:Pundit]],
of the Polish Wikipedia. He serves as an administrator, a mediator, and a
bureaucrat there. He also is a contributor to the English Wikipedia and to
Wikimedia Commons. Pundit does not currently hold checkuser permissions
anywhere, so he will not be required to lay them down.
The user filling the role of alternate, and continuing to a second term on
the commission is [[User:Dweller]]. Dweller is a bureaucrat, administrator,
and oversighter on the English Wikipedia. He is also a prolific content
creator. Dweller also does not currently hold checkuser permissions, and so
will not be required to lay them down. It is envisioned that the alternate
will not be required to surrender their checkuser tool (if they have it)
until they are placed on the commission as a full, voting member. It seems
unfair to deprive the wikis of their service for two years. However, the
alternate is pledged to recuse from matters on which he has a personal
conflict of interest.
Please join me in thanking them for their service. We will be requesting
rights changes shortly. These two join the other members of the commission,
[[User:Sir48]], [[User:FloNight]], [[User:Mwpnl]], and [[User:Thogo]].
Thank you to everyone who generously volunteered for this position.

Dear Wikimedians,
Wikimedia Commons is happy to announce that the 2010 Picture of the Year
competition is now open. We're interested in your opinion as to which
images qualify to be the Picture of the Year for 2010. Any user registered
at a Wikimedia wiki since 2010 or prior with more than 200 edits as of 1
January 2011 (UTC) is welcome to vote. Check your eligibility now.[1] If
you meet the criteria, you are able to vote.
Nearly 800 images that have been rated Featured Pictures by the
international Wikimedia Commons community in the past year are all entered
in this competition. From professional animal and plant shots to
breathtaking panoramas and skylines, restorations of historically relevant
images, images portraying the world's best architecture, maps, emblems,
diagrams created with the most modern technology, and impressive human
portraits, Commons features pictures of all flavors.
For your convenience, we have sorted the images into topic categories. Two
rounds of voting will be held: In the first round, you can vote for as many
images as you like. The first round category winners and the top ten overall
will then make it to the final. In the final round, when a limited number
of images are left, you must decide on the one image that you want to become
the Picture of the Year.
To see the candidate images just go to:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Picture_of_the_Year/2010/Galleries
Wikimedia Commons is interested in hearing your opinions on our featured
images of 2010. The deadline for first round voting is the 4th of May at
23:59 (UTC).
Thanks,
Wikimedia Commons Picture of the Year committee

Hi everyone,
Just a quick heads up that Sue will be having one of her regular IRC office
hours in #wikimedia-office this Thursday, April 28th at 17:00 UTC.
Instructions about how to join etc. are on Meta.[1]
As for topics, we were thinking that it might be nice to talk about our
continuing research at the Foundation on new editor retention. Other topics
(Perhaps Wikimania submissions since the deadline is impending?) are welcome
too. We look forward to chatting!
Thanks,

I unofficially appointed myself to be the "Editor Survey ambassador"
to the Hebrew Wikipedia. For a few days i helped people fill it and
gathered some feedback.
Now people are complaining that they can't see the banner. I tried
telling them to clean the cookies and it didn't help; i tried it
myself, and it doesn't help me either.
Is it disabled? I don't remember any notice about it.
