Welcome to WIKISOO[edit]

Hello and welcome to the Writing Wikipedia Articles course (#WIKISOO)! We look forward to meeting you in the first class on 25 February (Americas)/26 Feb (Asia/Australia). By now you should have received an introductory email with some details about the course. If you can't find it, there's an archived copy of the email at this link.

To attend the live session, please check our course home page for instructions and the link. We recommend logging into Blackboard Collaborate (the live class software we use) before the day of class, to be sure it's working. (More tips on the home page.)

If taking the course in self-paced mode, please come say hello on the course talk page so we know who you are! Thanks for signing up, and we'll see you Tuesday! - Pete (talk) 06:10, 24 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Second WIKISOO class starts soon![edit]

Hi! Just a quick reminder that the second WIKISOO class starts in about 3 hours. Even if you missed Week 1, please join us at this link for the live webinar - ideally about 15 minutes early to test your mic/speakers. If you haven’t finished up your Week 1 homework, there’s still time; post any questions on the class talk page! You can also watch a video of last week’s class on YouTube (earlier audio problems have been corrected). Feel free to contact me on my talk page with questions anytime! - WIKISOO co-instructor Sara FB (talk) 22:02, 4 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

WIKISOO Week 3[edit]

Hi Christopher.akiki, we look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. We look forward to seeing you in class in a few hours. Here's the link to our Week 3 class page and to the live webinar.

PLEASE NOTE: If you're not in the USA, please double-check the class time. We have gone on Daylight Savings Time (also known as Summer Time) in the USA, so for some of you the class time will be an hour earlier. (If your country goes on Summer Time in the coming weeks, you will want to check again!)

This week we are going to start off with some basic review of all we've covered. So if you've been feeling behind or confused by all the details, we'll make sure we've got your questions answered before forging ahead! See you soon, -Pete (talk) 16:26, 11 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Week 6 of WIKISOO[edit]

Hi Christopher.akiki! Just checking in as we head into the final week of the Writing Wikipedia Articles class. You can look through last week's ether pad notes, check out your homework assignments from Week 5, and watch last week's lecture on YouTube - all right here. Check out my note from last week (above) if you're still diving into your Final Project... or head over to the course talk page to see if anyone else is having the same issues you are! Looking forward to seeing you in the last live webinar of the session tomorrow. Big WikiLove. -Sara FB (talk) 23:19, 31 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

IP block exemption[edit]

Hello, @Elockid:, could you possibly take a look at this when you have the time? I cannot edit without disconnecting my VPN. I am getting the following message:

Editing from $IP_adress has been blocked (disabled) by Elockid

Christopher.akiki (talk) 16:29, 5 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).

CSD tagging[edit]

Just a note, CSD G4 for recreations of previously deleted articles only applies in cases where the deletion happened via a deletion discussion (e.g. Articles for Deletion). The correct tag to be used in this case for Jed Ismael should be A7, for individuals whose articles make no credible claim of notability. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 21:25, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry about that Patar knight, I was not aware; still learning the ropes here. Thank you for your message, and for fixing my mistake. Christopher.akiki (talk) 21:52, 27 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
