Wikipedia for Postgraduates & Researchers

Hello again, BenBenOcho! It was great to meet everyone yesterday at St Andrews, and I hope that you enjoyed the session. I also hope that it's made you think about the benefits of universities working with Wiki.

Now that you've learned the basics, I hope that you'll stay logged in, and do some editing. If you're not feeling bold enough to write an article straight away, why not try a small edit or two first, or adding a link or picture? Don't worry about it being perfect - Wiki is never finished, it's a constantly evolving entity. And there's a huge community of other editors who can help.

As promised, here's some links that I hope will help you get in to the swing of things:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Remember, if you are writing on a talk page, please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon!

Something I thought might interest you...

February 2016

[edit]

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. This is just a note to let you know that I've moved the draft that you were working on to Draft:La Bastida de les Alcusses, from its old location at User:BenBenOcho/sandbox. This has been done because the Draft namespace is the preferred location for Articles for Creation submissions. Please feel free to continue to work on it there. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask me on my talk page. Thank you. /wiae /tlk 21:08, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Wiae! Appreciate the help. Will use a Draft page next time I submit an article. BenBenOcho (talk) 17:58, 22 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Archaeology

[edit]

Hello Ben,

I saw a couple of your articles on Spanish archaeology at AfC (great work, by the way) and thought I'd invite you to join WikiProject Archaeology. It's just a small group of editors that try to coordinate efforts to improve Wikipedia's coverage of archaeology.

By the way, you can feel free to create articles directly and bypass the AfC process now you're an established editor. --Joe Roe (talk) 03:40, 26 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

- Thanks very much Joe Roe, I appreciate you going through these articles and point me to the Archaeology WikiProject (which I have now joined). All best in your editing! BenBenOcho (talk) 12:33, 28 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Helena Bonet Rosado

[edit]

Hello, BenBenOcho. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Helena Bonet Rosado, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

I've added some links for finding sources to Talk:Helena Bonet Rosado.–CaroleHenson (talk) 17:24, 23 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Ben!

[edit]

Hi. We don't meet each other, but I'm Francesc, the Wikimedian in Residence in the Prehistory Museum of Valencia. I see that You have edited a lot about issues related to the Museum and its Research Service. Maybe You'll be interested in the Viquiconcurs Prehistòria València, a Wikipedia competition with some prices for the winners (books). It's under construction and right now We only have the page written in Catalan, but even still you can participate and being eligible for a price because its a multilingual challenge: every edit in every language is accepted. The contest will start in June, 15th, and will last for a month after that date.--TaronjaSatsuma (talk) 10:50, 23 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Francesc, thanks for your message. I'm not sure that I'll be able to get many edits done as I haven't been that active on here lately (new job). But the link is useful to see some priorities for the MPV, I'll bear it in mind when I plan future articles. I hope my articles fairly reflect the excellent work of the MPV on many of these sites and always appreciate feedback and edits to improve them. Best, abrazos, BenBenOcho (talk) 19:49, 10 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hughs to You, too. Best luck in new job. --TaronjaSatsuma (talk) 13:36, 11 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

If the deletion has already occured, instructions on how you may be able to retrieve it are available at WP:REFUND/G13.

Thank you for your attention. HasteurBot (talk) 01:32, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Your draft article, Draft:Edeta

[edit]

Hello, BenBenOcho. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Edeta".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 20:00, 16 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

ESEAP Conference 2018

[edit]

Hello BenBenOcho,

I’m Irvin from PhilWiki Community, a member of the Communication Committee of the ESEAP Conference. ESEAP Conference 2018 is a regional conference for Wikimedia communities throughout the ESEAP region: ESEAP stands for East, Southeast Asia, and Pacific. Taking place in Bali, Indonesia on 5–6 May 2018, this is the first regional conference for these Wikimedia communities.

East and Southeast Asia and the Pacific are the most under-represented regions within the Wikimedia community. There is a significant number of Wikimedia contributors in our regions, yet we continue to struggle in establishing a well-managed community. This conference will bring participants from various ESEAP communities together in order to better understand the issues and to look for solutions. It also aims to connect people of the Wikimedia movement within ESEAP regions, to share ideas, and to build regional collaborations that are impossible to achieve through online communication.

We’ve got a lot of participation from several countries, but we’re lacking from your country. As we need more participants from your country, we believe that your contribution and participation would be a valuable asset to the success of this event. If you would like to participate in the conference, please do fill the form as soon as possible (by April 5, 2018) and we’ll inform you if you get selected for the conference.

Thank you and we hope to see you soon. --Filipinayzd 01:19, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Invitation to an in-person meetup in Mohua / Golden Bay

[edit]

Thinking about your summer break? Think about joining other Wikipedians and Wikimedians in Golden Bay / Mohua! Details are on the meetup page. There's heaps of interesting stuff to work on e.g. the oldest extant waka or New Zealand's oldest ongoing legal case. Or you may spend your time taking photos and then upload them.

Golden Bay is hard to get to and the airline flying into Tākaka uses small planes, so we are holding some seats from and to Wellington and we are offering attendees a $200 travel subsidy to help with costs.

Be in touch with Schwede66 if this event interests you and you'd like to discuss logistics. Schwede 66 09:14, 13 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
