Help Project newsletter : Issue 6

The Help Project Newsletter	Issue VI - April 2013
Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on.	Other news The Article Feedback Tool (v5) has now been changed to be opt-in for all pages. It can be enabled for specific pages by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 to them. There are also a number of new features. It has been proposed to merge the questions forum of the New contributors' help page into the Teahouse. Discussion is taking place here. The help menu at Help:Contents/Browse and its subpages have been largely cleaned up. User:Moxy has created a descriptive help directory. A project on Video and Interactive Tutorials has begun, supported by a Wikimedia Foundation grant. Suggestions for subjects are invited on the talk page.
If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. Suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. the wub "?!" 16:22, 25 April 2013 (UTC)

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. We appreciate that you have signed up to receive suggestions regularly, your contributions make Wikipedia better — thanks for helping!

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please let us know on SuggestBot's talk page. Regards from Nettrom (talk), SuggestBot's caretaker. -- SuggestBot (talk) 14:07, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks, & Question: how to reply to reviewers' comments?

Thank you for welcoming me to Wikipedia editing. I am the director of the Public Art in Public Places Project and our mission is to promote the widespread enjoyment of public art. At this point we encompass Southern California and Hawaii, and we hope to enhance (and correct if necessary) public art data on Wikipedia for the public benefit. I have made a number of edits in the last 2 weeks to public art information and have received useful feedback from some reviewers, which I need to reply to. I am not clear how to do this: if I "edit" the section containing the reviewer message and add a reply, will the reply update reach the reviewer? Apologies for my ignorance, but hopefully my learning curve will be steep. Thanks in advance, K. M. Williamson, Director, Public Art in Public Places Project — Preceding unsigned comment added by K.

You reply to messages by clicking the section's edit button, adding a colon to indent one level and then typing your reply. Subsequent replies should use additional colons to indent additional levels. I have some words of caution for you. Your project's mission may be to "promote the widespread enjoyment of public art", but it is inappropriate to use Wikipedia to further that purpose - Wikipedia must not be used for promotion, see WP:SPAM. In addition, you refer to "we" - if this indicates that you are sharing your account, that is not permitted - for licensing purposes accounts must only be used by one individual. I hope this helps.--ukexpat (talk) 19:33, 4 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Trying to understand why my posting of a "legislative work" list continues to be deleted on the McDaniel page. All of these are a matter of record and are properly cited. I've even gone to a neutral source and had them check my language to be sure it wasn't misleading. Does this simply hinge on me being the one posting it? Please advise.
