Duuude

Your hamster is awesome. And I totally forgot why I came here. So... uh... hi. -— Isarra ༆ 04:22, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

Your visit flatters me. Stop by anytime. I will pass your compliment on to the animals currently serving as my hamsters - the position actually cycles in new applicants every 18-24 months, and the hamster you saw has retired. Blue Rasberry (talk) 13:55, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

UW copyright problem

Hi Bluerasberry, I'm hoping you can help with something as the UW wiki ambassador. The UWEO article [[1]] has been flagged for copyright violation. There's a link to a Duplication Detector report and it doesn't really look like there's anything copyrighted lifted from the PDF the report is pulling from. There are a bunch of programs listed that appear in both but those are the names of the programs, "Seattle Times" is flagged because a Times article is cited in the wiki and the Seattle Times is mentioned as being represented on an advisory board in the PDF, the name of the Vice Provost is flagged, etc. The only thing that looks iffy to me is "to meet the needs of working (adults)"/"to meet the needs of working (professionals)" and there is a citation for that text. Does this really constitute copyright infringement? Any advice is much appreciated, I'm a wikipedia novice. By the way hamsters are the best, I still have a beautiful chewed up piece of driftwood my beloved Bullhorn sculpted circa 1995. Ralwin (talk) 15:37, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

I am glad to help you, but I am busy for the next few days. I am available to talk by phone or Skype sometime if you think that would help, and you also have options to attend the local meetup at Café Allegro on the first Tuesday of the Month if you want to learn more - see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle.

A list of facts does not constitute copyright violation, but copying and pasting the phrasing of things does and copying an entire text and just changing a few words does also. See what the robot found here - this is inappropriate by Wikipedia standards.

I would be very happy and interested to help you meet your goals for contributing to Wikipedia. Consider going to the talk page of the article (accessible by clicking "talk" at the top of the page) and copying what you wrote here there, and getting a response from others. Thanks.

meetup greets

Thanks for coming to the editathon. If you want to meet Wikipedians in Seattle or NYC then let me know. Also let me know if you meet anyone doing any particular kind of Wikipedia project - I can probably connect you.

I regret that we never met while I lived in Seattle but am glad that I could meet you yesterday. Blue Rasberry 16:25, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Ditto--thanks for coming to the edit-athon! Come back again! --Another Believer (Talk) 18:18, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Great to meet you too ! Wikipedia:Meetup/Portland/Wiki Loves Libraries/2012. Here is one of the graphs I was talking about with editor information, though even this is now two years old editor trends study 2010. Hope to see you around on wikipedia and across the globe :). ∴ here…♠ 22:22, 28 October 2012 (UTC)

Coffee!

Howdy. Thanks for leaving a cup of coffee on my userpage. Not only was it still warm when I got there but I was thirsty, so it came just in time. It's much appreciated! --Olegkagan (talk) 06:09, 29 October 2012 (UTC)

Raintown

Great meeting with you good sir. Hope the rest of your Halloween goes well, or ghoulish perhaps, never know down on the Drive! The Interior (Talk) 03:38, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Library stubs

Since you chimed in on the Multnomah County Library talk page... Feel free to comment if you wish. --Another Believer _(Talk) 19:34, 1 November 2012 (UTC)

Global health

Thanks for following up about that class:[2]. Any response from the professor? I just reverted some edits there. Biosthmors (talk) 02:03, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

"Also, did find it a bit disconcerting that someone posted that the global health updates weren't relevant or improvements" "I would prefer to communicate with email" The professor did not want to talk to me by phone or Skype. I sent him enough information and offered to help him as he liked. His name is Jyothi Thrivikraman and his contact information is here. I just wrote him again and offered more help. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:21, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Hmm... he just replied to me and said that this was not from his students. I will write to all the students and see what is up. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:34, 5 November 2012 (UTC)

Help Needed for Seattle Biomed

Hi Bluerasberry, I would appreciate your assistance in editing Seattle BioMed's Wikipedia page. I am new to editing in this capacity, and thought I did everything you asked by providing references/sources for the page with my most recent edits from 11/7. However, it's clear I'm doing something wrong as the information continues to be taken down. Any assistance you can provide would be most helpful.

Thanks you so much for your help! Boydmero1 (talk) 19:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

I just emailed you my contact information and look forward to speaking with you. Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:17, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
