Wiki link to Mia Amber edit
Hi there, I saw you removed the Wiki-Link to Mia Amber that I added on the Plus-size model article. You said Plus-size celebrities - no individual Wiki article so don't Wiki tag name, please. But, as far as I know, there's no reason to not link to a person's page because they don't have an article yet. Linking to a person who has no article yet might even encourage people to start the article! Wikipedia is full of those red-colored wiki links; all articles that don't exist yet, but might well be created in the near future. What do you think? Greetings RagingR2 13:03, 7 June 2007 (UTC)
- Hi there, I read your reaction. You say wiki-links to non-existing articles will be cleaned up, but I doubt this is true. Lots of wiki-articles contain red links to non-existing articles, and I think this is just fine, because it may inspire users to start an article about a subject that doesn't have an article yet. Check some articles about some music bands for instance; in their discography; you will often find red wiki-links to albums that don't have their article yet, but probably will some day. I don't see a problem with wiki-links to non existing articles; it's not as if you are giving users falls hope or anything, I mean they can clearly see that the link they are clicking leads to a non-existing article because of the red color.

Image for "Plus-size model" edit
You can't use magazine photos unless you can demonstrate they can't be replaced with a free image. (See WP:FUC #1. I tend to think this policy overly strict, but I'm in the minority). Usually this means they illustrate a specific event that's discussed in the article. You will have to either take one yourself, or arrange for someone else to do so (if you pay them a token dollar to do so, it will be a work for hire and you own the copyright) that shows a plus-size model, ask someone who owns the copyright on a good one if they would be so kind as to release all rights (or all rights save attribution), or release it under GFDL or either of the two CC licenses we accept (as for the latter, I am looking through the two relevant Flickr image streams as I type to see if I can find one. So far it's not looking good, but new images are uploaded to Flickr all the time). Daniel Case 02:14, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
Survey edit
Hi AntiVanity!
I have put together a survey for female editors of Wikipedia (and related projects) in order to explore, in greater detail, women's experiences and roles within the Wikimedia movement. It'd be wonderful if you could participate!
It's an independent survey, done by me, as a fellow volunteer Wikimedian. It is not being done on behalf of the Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you'll participate!
Just click this link to participate in this survey, via Google!
Any questions or concerns, feel free to email me or stop by my user talk page. Also, feel free to share this any other female Wikimedians you may know. It is in English, but any language Wikimedia participants are encouraged to participate. I appreciate your contributions - to the survey and to Wikipedia! Thank you!

Dear fellow Fashion Project editor, I am working on a major rework of the artice about Damiani (jewelry company) at my sandbox User:Geraldshields11/sandbox/Dalminia. Please would you add comments or suggest edits on that sandbox page. Thank you in advance. My best regards, Gerald Shields Geraldshields11 (talk) 13:49, 10 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability 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. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
