Welcome

Hello Maximilianklein, and welcome to the Outreach Wiki! Our mission is to recruit and support new Wikimedians and to build strong relationships with cultural and educational institutions. Want to help? Here's some stuff you can do:

See the sidebar for some other projects you can get involved in.

The Village pump is a great place to ask questions, but don't hesitate to leave me a note if I can help. Thanks for stopping by – hope you like the place and decide to stay! Rock drum (talk · contribs) 14:40, 15 April 2011 (UTC)Reply

Use of Wikipedia in Academia

edit

Hi Max - very nice webinar yesterday. By far, the most tweeted fact was the quote "Use of Wikipedia in academia is increasing: cited 3,679 times in WoS and Scopus databases." Can you supply a source for this? The frequency of retweets suggest this is an important figure in convincing people to engage with WLL (and Wikipedia in general). Thanks! -- Kosboot (talk) 16:14, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Hi Bob, you were looking for the WoS Scopus citation source. I just put my presentation up Wikipedia Loves Libraries/Presentations which has the source - a first monday article Maximilianklein (talk) 16:48, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
Found it - thanks! -- Kosboot (talk) 17:21, 1 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Recent removal of rights

edit

Hello. I just wanted to leave a formal note as a follow-up to an e-mail that you might received many hours ago about the removal of your rights from this site. Per a admittedly very brief discussion on the Village pump, multiple users supported cleaning up the list, both on and off the page. My goal of doing this was to get a better count of who was an active administrator, as well as purge the list in a move that is in line with other WMF wikis. However, should you still wish to be an administrator on Outreach, please leave me a message on my talk page, and I will promptly restore your rights as soon as I see the message. Thank you for your contributions to this site, and have a great day. Kevin Rutherford (talk)
