Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Show'N Tell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Wizard of Oz (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). 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.

Ohio Wikimedians User Group report

edit

Hey Hamaxides! Thanks so much for organizing that Ohio Women on Wikipedia Edit-a-thon last year. I wanted to let you know that I put together Ohio Wikimedian's 2021-22 report. It's quite light, but that makes your event a highlight of it! Have a look and feel free to edit it as you see fit. Thanks, ~SuperHamster Talk Contribs 08:00, 30 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

I apologize for not replying sooner! That's is very cool. I appreciate the heads-up. The Ohio Center for the Book is partnering with Ursuline College in Cleveland in the fall on a series of events celebrating Superman's 85th birthday in Cleveland: Superman's Cleveland: Lineage and Legacy. Your message has me thinking that *maybe* we should think about an edit-a-thon based somehow around the themes of superheroes, immigration, the Jewish experience in Ohio, etc. Hamaxides (talk) Hamaxides (talk) 21:19, 14 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

CSU Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon Spring 2024

edit

Hello, I'm a librarian at Cleveland State University, and I'm supporting one of my history faculty who wants to run a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon in her class. Neither of us has ever participated in an edit-a-thon before. I saw on your profile that you helped the Cleveland Public Library run a Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon in the past. Would you be able to provide support or guidance for us so we have a successful event? Any help you could provide would be very much appreciated!

Hello! Sorry for the delay in responding (out sick from work last week and catching up!). I would be happy to provide what information I can. I will followup from my work email to streamline this... but I wanted to make sure you knew I had seen your message here. Hamaxides (talk) 17:30, 5 February 2024 (UTC)Reply
