Aloha!

My name is Victor and I work with the Wikimedia Foundation, the non-profit organization that supports Wikipedia. We're chronicling the inspiring stories of the Wikipedia community around the world, including those from readers, editors, and donors. Stories are absolutely essential for any non-profit to persuade new people to support the cause, and we know the vast network of people who use Wikipedia have so much to share.

I find stories that drive our annual fundraising efforts. It's important to convey the incredible diversity of people who've come to rely upon Wikipedia every day.

I'd really like the opportunity to interview you to tell your story, with the possibility of using it in our materials, on our community websites, or as part of this year’s fundraiser to encourage others to support Wikipedia.

I will be in Buenos Aires from the 10th - 11th of March 2012.

I'm hoping you will elaborate on your story with me. Please let me know if you're inclined to take part in the Wikipedia Stories Project!

Thank you,

Victor Grigas

Hola IANVS,

Te molesto para pedir tu contribución en la página actual de UNASUR en su versión en Ingles. Es inevitable ver que la información que se muestra en organización territorial es absolutamente parcial favoreciendo la postura británica sobre los territorios en disputa, como las islas malvinas o la antártica. Estoy intentando lograr consenso sobre una versión mas neutral, para la cual propuse mapas y texto de mayor calidad y bajo un punto de vista neutral, pero necesito opiniones que la favorezcan, ya que los editores de esa página no están dispuestos a abandonar su postura parcial.

Si tienes unos minutos, te agradecería si pudieras leer las ultimas 2-3 secciones de la página de discusión y contribuir con tu opinión al respecto. Seria excelente si pudieras re-enviar esta solicitud a otros usuarios de Wikipedia que puedan estar interesados en participar para lograr una pagina de UNASUR neutral.

Un saludo cordial, SDonatti.

Greetings IANVS! I noticed that you edit a lot of pages related to politics in Argentina. I spent the better part of the last two months creating the page for Corruption in Argentina, and I think it needs a fresh pair of eyes. Any chance you might be able to help?

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge ‎ has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like Brazil, Mexico, Peru and Argentina etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Latin American content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon. If you would like to see this happening for Latin America, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Latin America, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant!♦ --Ser Amantio di Nicolao^{Che dicono a Signa?}_{Lo dicono a Signa.} 00:35, 27 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
