*Hello Kevin, I am sending this message to editors who signed up for the Women's History Month Edit-a-thon. Please help spread the word. HighBeam Research--an online, pay-for-use search engine for newspapers, magazines, academic journals, newswires, trade magazines and encyclopedias has agreed to give ''free, full-access, 1-year accounts'' for up to 1000 Wikipedia editors to use. HighBeam has access to over 80 million articles from 6,500 publications, most of which are not available for free elsewhere on the internet. Aside from a free 7-day trial (credit card required), access to HighBeam would cost $30 per month or $200 per year for the first year and $300 for subsequent years, so this is a wonderful, free, no-strings-attached opportunity. To qualify, editors must have at least a 1 year-old account with 1000 edits. Please add your name to the [[WP:HighBeam/Applications]] account sign-up page if you are interested.

Minor modification
Hi, just to let you know, I was making a minor modification to my post for clarity but got an EC. As I didn't feel my modifications changed the meaning, I went ahead and submitted them anyway even though you had already replied [1]. Cheers Nil Einne (talk) 23:55, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the mention of it, but no worries. Kevin (talk) 23:56, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
Teahouse
Feel free to invite your students and whatnots :) WP:Teahouse SarahStierch (talk) 00:09, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
- There should be some by in a few weeks :) Kevin (talk) 00:12, 29 February 2012 (UTC)
Hi
Hi, Kevin. Please read my reply to Phlippe. Thank you. --Meno25 (talk) 07:05, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
Grant Cardone
Hello - I have reverted your edit of the Grant Cardone article. I'm not sure where you get the idea that Cardone's to email Scientologists is copyright. Has he made such a claim that you are aware of? I know the email was published in the Village Voice and there has been no such claim made against that publication. I would value your comment on this. Many thanks. Henry Sewell (talk) 12:14, 3 March 2012 (UTC)
- Copying this over to the article talk page and responding there. Kevin (kgorman-ucb) (talk) 15:11, 3 March 2012 (UTC)

Re: Bisexual Erasure Article
Bisexual erasure is a new topic, poorly sourced in the real world, with little or no academic papers on the subject. According to WP under Wikipedia:Verifiability in the section entitled:
What counts as a reliable source The word "source" in Wikipedia has three meanings: the work itself (a document, article, paper, or book), the creator of the work (for example, the writer), and the publisher of the work (for example, Oxford University Press). All three can affect reliability.
The key words here are "the work itself," which in this case is the website itself, which is cited.
In addition "If a rule prevents you from improving or maintaining Wikipedia, ignore it." From the 5th pillar of Wikipedia "Wikipedia does not have firm rules." at Wikipedia:Five pillars
This is the basis of my edit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Benjamin9832 (talk • contribs) 06:49, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
Maggie's Farm
Hi, Kgorman-ucb! I left a note for you on the "Maggie's Farm" talk page with a request for feedback. Thanks. Allreet (talk) 15:19, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- Replied there, thanks for the note. Kevin (kgorman-ucb) (talk) 20:25, 6 March 2012 (UTC)
- And thanks for your quick reply. I'll leave the OR tag alone for now and will replace it once I start to source the material and get a better handle on how far afield the original editors went. Allreet (talk) 04:52, 7 March 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for contributing to the Teahouse!.
- I had thought I told you about the host program (and invited you to participate originally?). Just wanted to FYI you about this :) Sarah (talk) 03:58, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
The Tea Leaf - Issue One - Recent news from the Teahouse
Hi! Welcome to the first edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
- Metrics are out from week one. Week one showed that the need for Teahouse hosts to invite new editors to the Teahouse is urgent for this pilot period. It also showed that emailing new users invitations is a powerful tool, with new editors responding more to emails than to talk page templates. We also learned that the customized database reports created for the Teahouse have the highest return rate of participation by invitees. Check out the metrics here and see how you can help with inviting in our Invitation Guide.
- A refreshed "Your hosts" page encourages experienced Wikipedians to learn about the Teahouse and participate. With community input, the Teahouse has updated the Your hosts page which details the host roles within the Teahouse pilot and the importance that hosts play in providing a friendly, special experience not always found on other welcome/help spaces on Wikipedia. It also explains how Teahouse hosts are important regarding metrics reporting during this pilot. Are you an experienced editor who wants to help out? Take a look at the new page today and start learning about the hosts tasks and how you can participate!
- Introduce yourself and meet new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. New & experienced editors to Wikipedia can add a brief infobox about themselves and get to know one another with direct links to userpages. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, they'll surely be happy to feel the wikilove!
You are receiving The Tea Leaf after expressing interest or participating in the Teahouse! To remove yourself from receiving future newsletters, please remove your username here. Sarah (talk) 16:06, 9 March 2012 (UTC)
