Hi, I'll check it later today if I can- but if not, I'll be away until Thursday and I'll do it then. In the meantime, I'll think about it :) sonia♫ 00:35, 4 October 2010 (UTC)

Take care!

Boy, I have a story (landslides, group members falling off cliffs, no cellphone coverage, fallen trees) to tell you! Will upload pics when I'm less tired, after I unpack. sonia♫ 10:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Really? Well do tell! I'm 28 hours late! - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 15:13, 7 October 2010 (UTC)

The weather was fantastic, but because of a recent storm there were heaps of trees blocking the path (which was for the most part about a foot wide, on the side of a steep incline), and one part where a huge chunk of the track (c/w trees!) fell into and dammed one of the streams we were to cross. Add to that some rocks that came unstuck when we were on them, sending two of us falling several metres before getting caught in trees below, and some of the better tracks being closed off, and you can see why we had a little difficulty getting to shelter before nightfall. There was no reception there, but we made it to a hut. Needless to say, we called off the rest of the tramp and went for the nearest road as fast as we could once the sun rose- with one girl on makeshift crutches and the rest of us sore and somewhat disconcerted. sonia♫ 00:41, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

O.o OUCH! I hope you're better Sonia, that's quite an ordeal you guys endured! —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 5:58pm • 06:58, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Me late again! Sounds like an adventure, except it also sounds like your friends were extremely lucky!
All's well that ends well I suppose! (Hm, it's Bill!) - 220.101 talk^\Contribs 11:23, 8 October 2010 (UTC)

Yes, they were. We're planning another trip for December, hopefully it'll be less disastrous! sonia♫ 00:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

I hope so too, I don't think anyone would want to endure that a second time! Hope you're all healed up! —Ғяіᴆaз'§Đøøм • Champagne? • 9:02pm • 10:02, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

:)

I appreciate your comments and suggestions, I'll think about all of them. Talk to you on Thursday, good luck on your journey. ALauBeltran (talk) 00:04, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

Always glad to hear from you. Cheers. sonia♫ 10:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Mentor Request

Sonia, my name is Claire Stumbras and I am a student at Syracuse University in the Wikipedia and Public Policy course. I am planning on working on the stub "Compulsory Public Education". I am looking for a mentor to help guide me in the format and offer feedback on the quality of writing, sourcing and general content. Let me know if you would me interested. I look forward to hearing from you! Clairestum (talk) 02:10, 5 October 2010 (UTC)

I'd be happy to. I'm online every day if you have any questions or need any help, and we can also correspond via email (or MSN/ Gtalk/Skype etc) if you like. What do you have in mind in a mentor? Would you prefer one to guide you through the process, or to explore by yourself and have me on hand if you have questions? sonia♫ 10:40, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Sonia, first - thank you. I think just general feedback on the articles I am working on, and suggestions for improvement are really what I am looking for. Due to the requirements of my class I have begun working on a different article, Food Quality Protection Act. I anticipate working on a few other policy related articles within the next month and a half as well. Let me know what you think, and thanks again! Clairestum (talk) 17:25, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Great- I've looked it over quickly, but will do so again (after this upcoming weekend.) If you have any questions or run into any conflict with other editors, do let me know and I'll check it out- I see that you've been doing a lot of interacting with other editors, which is great. sonia♫ 04:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Re: List of 1992 Summer Olympics medal winners

Thanks for getting the list off to a great start! I did go ahead and unlink the events and add the details links below so that this list is consistent with other FL medal-related lists (like this, for example). Thanks again for the help! --Another Believer _(Talk) 01:16, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

Ah, okay. Thanks, and I'll remember that. I'm just doing busywork now- but I know I have a book somewhere that might actually have info for a decent lede. I'll just have to dig it out sometime. Cheers. sonia♫ 01:22, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

There's tons of material out there on Barcelona. The tables are the pain in the neck here, but I'll give you a tip on these. Take the times out, and you can copy the tables from Athletics at the 1992 Summer Olympics and similar articles. The ones that don't have scores, like Fencing at the 1992 Summer Olympics can just be copied... verified, fo course, but if it checks, just copy. Courcelles 01:27, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

That's what I've just discovered; thanks ;) By the way: how much more needs to be done to 1980? sonia♫ 01:33, 9 October 2010 (UTC)

I promised WT:BISE I'd ask a couple of "list experts" about this. Also, while I'm here - what's the state of play for the two Kiwi lists (Governors General and one other, I think?) TFOWR 14:37, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

I'm a "list expert"? Looks a lot like List of Latin phrases to me (a necessary split of a large list), but could probably be better structured. I'm currently working on National parks of New Zealand as my NZ list project, it needs a lot more sourcing and prose to be ready. The other two'll come later :) sonia♫ 00:03, 11 October 2010 (UTC)

Project with WP:NOVELS

Hey Sonia, I'd be willing to help if you need. I even have a little experience with novels – I'm a former coordinator of the project. :-) Just ask if you need me for anything. Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 02:43, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank you, and I will. Probably should have left it to you to coordinate then, shouldn't I? :P Waiting for more input before I create the course page at this point. sonia♫ 10:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Nah, you'll probably be a better coordinator then I could dram of being. :-) Ed ^{[talk] [majestic titan]} 14:15, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Dream, even. :P sonia♫ 04:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

hi there

I hope everything is OK there :) I have been working on an article, can you check it please? Now I had learned how to put the references, but I do not know if I did it well. The article is Celebration of Mexican political anniversaries in 2010 I have wrote on the "South of the country" part. For my school project (the one were I have to write something about) is going to be in teams but we do not what to talk about yet, everything is on Wikipedia! :S Do you have an idea for that? Than you! ALauBeltran (talk) 00:47, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Will do when I get home, if I have time- I've got a meeting tonight. Sorry about that. sonia♫ 01:38, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Selecting a Mentor

Dear Sonia,

I am an Indiana University graduate student working on an initiative to improve public policy articles on Wikipedia. I need to select a mentor for this project. Would you be willing to serve as my mentor?

Thank you very much for your help and I look forward to hearing from you.

Chushimp26 (talk) 16:23, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I'd be glad to. What do you want in a mentor? Thus far what I've been doing is just being here for my mentees if they have any questions, and checking over what they've done every so often. Would you like that, or are you envisioning a different approach? sonia♫ 04:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Signature

I borrowed, okay stole, the music notes in your signature and am now using them for my signature. Hope that's okay with you. ♫Mr. R00t ^Talk♫ 00:26, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

No problem whatsoever- they're not mine, after all. You may wish to see Miscellaneous symbols (Unicode block) for more symbols you can use. sonia♫ 04:27, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Your input is requested

I have started an RfC on inappropriate userboxes, i.e. those that don't follow the introductory paragraph at WP:UBX:

"A userbox (commonly abbreviated as UBX) is a small colored box ... designed to appear only on a Wikipedian's user page as a communicative notice about the user, in order to directly (or even indirectly) help Wikipedians collaborate more effectively on articles."

How does a userbox about a user's own preferences in regards to what topics on Wikipedia they hate and what type of sexually explicit material they like and actively view help Wikipedians collaborate with one another? Which is the question I am raising.

This introductory paragraph over at WP:UBX contradicts WP:NOTCENSORED so I'd like you to weigh in at WT:UBX, it'll only take 5 minutes of your time. I've sent this message because the topic has not had much community input

Delivered by MessageDeliveryBot on behalf of Fridae'sDoom (talk) at 20:51, 15 October 2010 (UTC).

Not interested, sorry. sonia♫ 06:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Suggested changes at MOTD

Hello fellow motto contributor. Discussions arer still open on Wikipedia talk:Motto of the day/Nominations#Suggested changes and still require further input especially on ideas 10-17. Please could you voice your opinion as this is going to be closed in early November. Please help out or even make any new idea suggestions. Simply south (talk) 15:24, 16 October 2010 (UTC)

I don't have a strong opinion on the rest of the proposals, nor am I proud of my somewhat belligerent behaviour up till now on that page- so if you don't mind I think I'll stay out of this one. sonia♫ 06:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello!

I think I just chose you as a mentor. I'm part of the Public Policy initiative. --Policygirl (talk) 00:46, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Hello! I think you just did indeed. More on your talk. sonia♫ 06:03, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

how are you?

hi! how are you? :) My team and I have chosen a topic to write about it, its Alpura (company), a Mexican company that produces milk and all the products made by milk like cheese and butter. What do you think? Please answer me on the article's talk page because we have to print the conversations. Thank you! ALauBeltran (talk) 16:23, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank You!

Hi Sonia,

Thank you for agreeing to be my mentor. I am a student in the Urban Economic Development course at Indiana University. We are working in groups to prepare an article on public policy for Wikipedia. I will need help formatting the article, posting photos, editing, etc. I hope you have a great day and I look forward to working with you. Chushimp26 (talk) 13:50, 19 October 2010 (UTC)

Thank You!

Hi Sonia,

I'm posting another message in a new section on your talk page. As you can see, I am still learning how to use Wikipedia. Thank you again for agreeing to serve as my mentor. As my group begins to write the public policy article, I will contact you if I need any help with posting information or editing.

Have a great day! Chushimp26 (talk) 13:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)
