== Kŭmgangsan ==

There is inconsistency in [[Kŭmgangsan]] in using "Kŭmgangsan" and "Geumgangsan". What do you advise? And for good measure: <div style="border-style:solid; border-color:blue; background-color:AliceBlue; border-width:1px; text-align:left; padding:9px;" class="plainlinks">[[File:Kitten-stare.jpg|120px|left]]

Kittens must be fed three times a day and will be your faithful companion forever! Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a kitten, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or a good friend. <br />

:Heh. Less than a hundred edits in and you've already been asked about adminship- shows how excellent you are.

Sorry for the late reply and thanks a lot for the warm welcome.

::Yeah you can bet I hope that too. Well what I will be doing here mostly is patrolling the recent changes page until I find a project to work on.

== Wikipedia Ambassador Program is looking for new Online Ambassadors ==

Hi!  I noticed your activity as a Good Article reviewer, and wanted to let you know about the [[Wikipedia:Ambassadors|Wikipedia Ambassador Program]], and specifically the role of [[WP:ONLINE|Online Ambassador]].  We're looking for friendly Wikipedians who are good at reviewing articles and giving feedback to serve as mentors for students who are assigned to write for Wikipedia in their classes.

If you're interested, I encourage you to take a look at the [[Wikipedia:Online Ambassadors/Guidelines|Online Ambassador guidelines]]; the "mentorship process" describes roughly what will be expected of mentors in the coming term.  If that's something you want to do, please apply!

You can find instructions for applying at [[Wikipedia:Online_Ambassadors#Becoming_an_Online_Ambassador|WP:ONLINE]].  The main things we're looking for in Online Ambassadors are friendliness, regular activity (since mentorship is a commitment that spans several months), and the ability to give detailed, substantive feedback on articles (both short new articles, and longer, more mature ones).

I hope to hear from you soon.--[[User:Sross (Public Policy)|Sage Ross - Online Facilitator, Wikimedia Foundation]] ([[User talk:Sross (Public Policy)|talk]]) 03:04, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
:Hi, Sage Ross! :) Thanks a lot for the kind message, but though I think I'm friendly most of the time (on the Internet, at least {{=)|tongue}}), I have neither the ability nor the regular activity needed to be an ambassador. I'm most likely going to be especially busy in the following few months and my activity on the English Wikipedia will be little or nothing, so I'm afraid I'll have to decline. Thanks once again, though, and hopefully one day I'll be worthy to help out in that area! :) [[User:Clementina|<span style="color:#6B8AB8">Clementina</span>]] [[User talk:Clementina|<span style="font-family:calibri; font-size:9pt; color:#50C878">talk</span>]] 12:21, 28 January 2011 (UTC)

<p>Articles for creation is '''desperately short of reviewers!''' We are looking for '''urgent help''', from '''experienced editors''', in reviewing submissions in the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Submissions|pending submissions queue]]. Currently there are '''{{PAGESINCATEGORY:Pending AfC submissions|R}}''' submissions waiting to be reviewed and many help requests at [[WP:AFCHD|our help desk]].</P>
:<big>'''Do you have what it takes?'''</big>
# Are you familiar with [[WP:PAG|Wikipedia's policies and guidelines]]?
# Do you know what Wikipedia [[Wikipedia:About|is]] and [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not|is not]]?
# Do you have a working knowledge of the [[Wikipedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]], particularly [[Wikipedia:Article titles|article naming conventions]]?
# Can you review submissions based on their individual merits?</P>
If the answer to these questions is yes, then please read the [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Reviewing instructions|reviewing instructions]] and donate a little of your time to helping tackle the backlog. You might wish to add {{tl|AFC status}} or {{tl|AfC Defcon}} to your userpage, which will alert you to the number of open submissions.
Plus, reviewing is easy when you use our new semi-automated [[WP:AFCH|reviewing script]]!
<br />

Hi,<br>
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current [[WP:ACE2015|Arbitration Committee election]]. The [[WP:ARBCOM|Arbitration Committee]] is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia [[WP:RFAR|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 [[WP:BAN|site bans]], [[WP:TBAN|topic bans]], editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The [[WP:ARBPOL|arbitration policy]] describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to [[WP:ACE2015/C|review the candidates' statements]] and submit your choices on [[Special:SecurePoll/vote/398|the voting page]]. For the Election committee, [[User:MediaWiki message delivery|MediaWiki message delivery]] ([[User talk:MediaWiki message delivery|talk]]) 14:27, 24 November 2015 (UTC)
