Happy Halloween!!!

Wilhelmina Will has given you some caramel and a candy apple! Caramel and candy-coated apples are fun Halloween treats, and promote WikiLove on Halloween. Hopefully these have made your Halloween (and the proceeding days) much sweeter. Happy Halloween!

'"On Psych, A USA Network TV series Episode 8, The Tao of Gus, Season 6, Shawn refers to pumpkins as "Halloween Apples" because he thinks all round fruits are a type of apple.

If Trick-or-treaters come your way, add {{subst:Halloween apples}} to their talkpage with a spoooooky message!

Cheers! "We could read for-EVER; reading round the wiki!" (talk) 17:55, 31 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Your first editathon

Hello Melodee, I've been thinking of you today. I'm in Senate House Library for the #WW1Dissent editathon. Your comprehensive event page doesn't seem to have an event hashtag. Hope it's all going well; I'll read your event report with interest. We're about to hand over to Kansas - the US national museum of World War 1. See you on Twitter perhaps, or elsewhere.

Thanks! The event was a great success! A wonderful afternoon with a group of lovely people (as was WWIDissent it seems from twitter!) Our twitter was @fortnfrail if you want to peek at the photos and video before the report Mhbeals (talk) 10:09, 23 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Some stroopwafels for you!

I had a great day! Thanks for the barnstar and all your hard work. I'm a bit swamped but will be following up some of the users and articles in the next week or so. PatHadley (talk) 13:05, 25 November 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edinburgh Gothic and Sheffield Gothic Wikipedia editathon - Saturday 12th November 2016

Hi, My name is Ewan McAndrew and I work as the Wikimedian in residence at the University of Edinburgh. We are looking to hold an Edinburgh Gothic Wikipedia editathon on Saturday 12th November to mark Robert Louis Stevenson Day 2016 in collaboration with the National Library of Scotland and the National Galleries of Scotland and celebrate all things gothic by having a day of activities including Wikipedia editing of pages related to gothic literature, gothic films, contemporary gothic literature, gothic art, gothic architecture etc. The Centre for Gothic Studies at the University of Sheffield have been in touch to say they would like to be involved in the event and hold their own Wikipedia editathon at the University of Sheffield that day. We'd love to be able to run synchronous Wikipedia editing sessions in Edinburgh & Sheffield and your name came up in conversation with Richard at Wikimedia UK as someone who might be able to offer Wikipedia training to our Sheffield participants. If you would like to be involved or know someone who may then please do let me know. The event page is here: [[1]]. Best regards, Ewan / Stinglehammer (talk) 15:02, 22 July 2016 (UTC)[reply]

-Please don't {{diff2|626205780|copy and paste material from one page to another}}. That has the consequence of not transferring the edit history for the source page to the destination page and may break the licence agreement that we attribute content to the contributors. In addition, it does not move the associated talk page. Using the move function solves both of these problems as well as leaving a redirect in place at both the page and its talk page, so that incoming links still work. {{U|Redrose64}} moved the page originally to comply with our normal format style for meetup pages; if you felt that was wrong, it would have been better to talk to him first.

-As a further result, today we ended up with two copies of the original page, unlinked to each other. They would potentially very quickly get out of sync as editors edit one page or the other. I was able to clean up the issues now because nobody else had edited. There is currently a page at [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Sheffield 1]] and its talk page is at [[Wikipedia talk:Meetup/Sheffield 1]]; the pages [[Wikipedia:Meetup/UK/Sheffield 1]] & [[Wikipedia talk:Meetup/UK/Sheffield 1]] are redirects to them. Let me know if you have further problems and I'll do my best to help. --[[User:RexxS|RexxS]] ([[User talk:RexxS|talk]]) 14:56, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
-:Sorry about all that. I didn't realise what Redrose64 had done, and though I had just misnamed it.  I was half asleep (a bad idea) when I edited and it all went wrong. Thanks for fixing it and I'll be far more careful in the future. [[User:InternationalistChap|InternationalistChap]] ([[User talk:InternationalistChap|talk]]) 15:01, 19 September 2014 (UTC)
