== Redirects ==
== Rejuvenate WikiProject Skepticism ==


On your user/talk pages on enWS, the redirects don't work because of the parentheses, you have to remove them for it to work. — [[User:Alien333|Alien333]] ([[Special:Contributions/Alien333|what I did]] & [[User_talk:Alien333|why I did it wrong]]) 12:18, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
Hello - my name is Susan Gerbic (Sgerbic) and I'm writing to you because at some point you joined [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism]]. This might have been months ago - or even years ago. With the best of intentions the project was created years ago, and sadly like many WikiProjects has started to go dormant. A group of us are attempting to revitalize the Skepticism project, already we have begun to clean up the main page and I've just redone the participant page. No one is in charge of this project, it is member directed, which might have been the reason it almost went dormant. We are attempting to bring back conversations on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Skepticism|talk page]] and have two subprojects as well, in the hopes that it might spark involvement and a way of getting to know each other better. One was created several years ago but is very well organized and a lot of progress was made, [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skeptical organisations in Europe]]. The other I created a couple weeks ago, it is very simple and has a silly name [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Skepticism Stub Sub-Project Project (SSSPP)]]. This sub-project runs from March 1 to June 1, 2022. We are attempting to rewrite skepticism stubs and add them to this list. As you can see we have already made progress.


== Editor experience invitation ==
The reason I'm writing to you now is because we would love to have you come back to the project and become involved, either by working on one of the sub-projects, proposing your own (and managing it), or just hanging out on the talk page getting to know the other editors and maybe donate some of your wisdom to some of the conversations. As I said, no one is in charge, so if you have something in mind you would like to see done, please suggest it on the talk page and hopefully others will agree. Please add the project to your watchlist, update your personal user page showing you are a proud member of WikiProject Skepticism. And DIVE in, this is what the work list looks like [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Skepticism.html] frightening at first glance, but we have already started chipping away at it.


Hi Omegatron. I'm looking for experienced editors to interview [[User:Clovermoss/Editor reflections|here]]. Feel free to pass if you're not interested. [[User:Clovermoss|<span style="color:darkorchid">Clovermoss</span><span style="color:green">🍀</span>]] [[User talk:Clovermoss|(talk)]] 03:26, 17 October 2024 (UTC)
The [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Skepticism/Participants]] page has gone though a giant change - you may want to update your information. And of course if this project no longer interests you, please remove your name from the participant list, we would hate to see you go, but completely understand.


== Invitation to participate in a research ==
Thank you for your time, I hope to edit with you in the future.[[User:Sgerbic|Sgerbic]] ([[User talk:Sgerbic|talk]]) 07:22, 17 March 2022 (UTC)

The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this '''[https://wikimediafoundation.limesurvey.net/294789?lang=en anonymous survey]'''.
== Help with proposed edits for Devialet article ==


You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
Hi there. I proposed edits to fix numerous problems on the [[Devialet]] article on the Talk page: [[Talk:Devialet#Devialet Request Edits for July 2022]]. I’m an employee of the company and can’t edit the page due to [[WP:COI]] - are you able to review the requests? Thanks![[User:Beautreillis6698|Beautreillis6698]] ([[User talk:Beautreillis6698|talk]]) 14:35, 24 August 2022 (UTC)


The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its [[m:Special:MyLanguage/Research:Wikipedia Administrator Recruitment, Retention, and Attrition|Meta page]] and view its [[wmf:Special:MyLanguage/Legal:Administrator Experiences 2024 Survey Privacy Statement|privacy statement]] .
