ITN on Puerto Rico

FYI - I suggested a revision to the posted blurb you posted at Wikipedia:In_the_news/Candidates#.5BPosted.5D_Puerto_Rican_government-debt_crisis . Does that seem reasonable? SnowFire (talk) 14:09, 5 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

The Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon: Met Open Access Initiative is the Metropolitan Museum of Art's first edit-a-thon, being hosted on Sunday May 21, 2017 in Thomas J. Watson Library at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The Met is excited to make available over 375,000 images of public domain artworks for contribution to Wikipedia 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 collection onsite and remotely. The event is a key marker too of The Metropolitan Museum of Art's first Wikimedian-in-Residence program, with resident Richard Knipel (User:Pharos), along with Wikimedia NYC. We invite you to help enhance Wikimedia communities and platforms with open access images from The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The event requires pre-registration. To register, 1) please sign-up with Eventbrite via The Met's website and 2) add your Wikipedia username to the #Participants on the wikimeetup page. Please check-in with museum staff when you arrive at the Thomas J. Watson Library within the museum.

We also welcome remote participation for the global Met Open Access Artworks Challenge (15 May - 30 June, 2017), you can sign up there at Met Open Access Artworks Challenge/Participants. --Pharos (talk) 16:24, 16 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

Request for protection

edit

Hello! Please consider adding a protection template on the page Love in the Moonlight. An IP address keeps on reverting perfectly constructive edits with unproven and unverified claims of sockpuppetry. Thanks! MakeASongBoring (talk) 12:59, 18 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

IP vandal is back

edit

Hello! The IP vandal that has been blocked for making several unconstructive edits on the page Love in the Moonlight is back. I hope you can protect the page (again) or block the user (again) to ensure the quality of said page. Thank you! 176.10.116.131 (talk) 05:58, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply

I think 176.10.116.131 is the Same IP Vandal Sockpuppet 1 by Blocked User:AkoAyMayLobo 2 who is persistently desperate to protect the Love in the Moonlight 3 4 5 6 7 8 and other Korean-entertainment related pages similiar to its previous socks. The IP vandal even accused me that "I own that article". 9 10 The sock also commonly uses the words "non-constructive", "paragraph", "revising", "revision", "unconstructive", "unnecessary" and "unsourced" when undoing or reverting other users' edits, and is also known for blanking its own talk page. -112.198.73.9 (talk) 20:43, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
