Your experience with mentor programs on Wikipedia
Hello 123chess456,
I am working on a project to support the development of current and future newcomer mentorship programs on Wikipedia.
Because you recently participated in a mentorship program on Wikipedia, I would like to interview you about your experience.
If you are interested, please email me at gmugar [at] syr.edu and hopefully we can find a convenient time to conduct an interview via Skype or Google hangout.
Thanks,

- @Gabrielm199: Which one specifically? Grognard 123chess456 (talk) 02:54, 4 September 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the reply. I am interested in your experience with AfC. Do you have time for an interview this week or next week? It should not take more than an hour. I am usually available to do interviews from 17:00 UTC to 21:00 UTC on weekdays. Thanks! Gabrielm199 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 00:46, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

- 20:30 UTC works. Is it ok if we block out an hour for the interview? How does Monday the 15th look? Gabrielm199 (talk) 22:28, 12 September 2014 (UTC)

08:20:08, 10 September 2014 review of submission by Clare.
Hi 123chess456 I wanted to touch-base with you on my Draft:Godwin Grech article. I believe that the story has come a long way since the Godwin Grech article was deleted in June 2009. I believe that a 15,000 byte page is actually quite long (you described it as short)... and I also don't think people would want to read biographical details about Godwin Grech in the Utegate article (also as you would have read, he is also known for his Bulldogs grant and for subsequent public commentary. Would you please have a second look?
Clare. (talk) 08:20, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
- @Clare.: The coverage that now exists that didn't during the AfD in 2009 could exist, based on the fact that you've added multiple sources from after. I think that it has a good chance of not surviving AfD, but if you resubmitted it to AfC I'll create it. Grognard 123chess456 (talk) 12:19, 10 September 2014 (UTC)
see [6] - You added a <nowiki> and the sign ~~~~ didnt substitute. Its so cumbersome to fix it, but you can do it easy... Christian75 (talk) 14:05, 10 September 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 22
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Roblox, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page MMO. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
