Hi Aude,
File:FrankMorphscapePose2.jpg got renamed to File:Frank Klepacki on an insert photo of his Morphscape album.jpg on Commons. File:FrankMorphscapePose2.jpg is in use only on Wikipedia:Today's featured article/June 5, 2007 but I can't change it because I'm no sysop on en.wikipedia. Can you please change it for me?
kind regards --D-Kuru (talk) 17:12, 12 December 2009 (UTC)
Hi Aude,
I wanted to ping you about the Arabic task force, I understood from an email from Eugene that you took some steps to push the ball forward. There are a couple of members of the task force in addition to me (Histolo2 and Nadia) that are definitely still interested and willing to contribute. I understand we are running out of time, how about we hold an IRC or skype chat meeting to discuss how to get this thing moving? I dont have much time but I definitely have 4-6 hours per week I can spare for this. Let me know what you think, thanks. --Shipmaster (talk) 04:25, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Hi. I've done a lot of work to making pin maps on wikipedia from OpenStreetMap, recently I created en:Template:Location map Norway Oslo actually to display landmarks!! However I just came across the geohack on German wiki. When you click the geo globe on German wiki now it features on the open street map at different zoomable levels without having to leave the site. This would absolustely ideal for english wikipedia and end a long term disagreement over set pin maps and to provide the option for zoomable maps iwthin wikipedia itself. Could you please import the technology they are using on German wikipedia to display open street maps within the wiki site itself. This would be perfect and would mean we could probably not bother with the city pins. Would it be possible to display these zoomable open street maps within article infoboxes themselves? An example. See Harris Theater. If we had the zoomable open street map within the infobox theatre we would not need that pin locator. By default there could be none but a "Click map" option within the infobox. When you click it, it would then display the open street map zoomable as shown here [here. Can you do this? It would be extremely beneficial to us. Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:18, 28 May 2010 (UTC)

Hey, just in case you missed it, there is an oppurtunity to get a free dinner this Tuesday August 11 and a chance to meet and hang out talk about Wikipedia:WikiProject United States Public Policy and WP:GLAM/SI. Sorry that this is so late in the game, I was hoping the e-mail would be a better form of contact for active members (if you want to get on the e-mail list send me an User e-mail ). Hope that you can attend, User:Sadads (talk)11:40, 9 August 2010 (UTC)
This is a reminder that you're signed up to help with the workshop, per Wikipedia:GLAM/SI/Events. If something has come up, and you can't make it, please take your name off the list. Otherwise, we'll look forward to seeing you. -- John Broughton (♫♫) 21:10, 16 August 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for looking out at the Larry Silverstein article. I just added a final warning at the ip's talk page, so it shouldn't be too controversial if you went ahead and blocked the ip the next time those edits occur. WP:BLP is a very serious matter. I also requested a page protection, but that may not be necessary if the ip is blocked. Thanks again.--Jojhutton (talk) 01:40, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
Hi Aude - I am new to this project and I had a question for you. Instead of posting it on the discussion page and since there are not too many members listed as part of the project, I wanted to bring it directly to you. I was working on adding some resources to the September 11th closing/cancellations page and I was wondering if I could have your 2 cents on something. There was a tag added on the closures section that the section does not list any references, but after my additions and some other pre-existing ones, there are now 4 legitimate, referenced citations on this section listed. It's far from perfect, but the tag is no longer warranted for attention. Since I'm new, I didn't want to ruffle any feathers. Can we remove it? Thanks in advance :). WiiAlbanyGirl (talk) 22:34, 12 September 2010 (UTC)
Hey, Aude. Just wanted to pick your brain on a couple new points. 1 is the notability issue of the Stairwell_A article. It had a nonsourced tag, which I removed because I added a citation directly from the 9/11 commission report to it. Also, Stairwell A is directly mentioned more than once in the 9th chapter of the Commission report as the sole, intact staircase in the South Tower. I wanted to know if you feel that this specific mentioning in the commission report warranted our removal of the notability tag. I think that its mention makes it notable, but then it would need to be added to our wikiproject and be accepted by the whole group.
Also, I added 2 sources to the survivors section of the Casualities page regarding the WTC specifically. Someone had incorrectly stated that Stairwell B was the only intact stairway after impact on the South Tower and had a significant lack of information (which I corrected with 2 citations). However, there's something that I am calling into question since it is unsourced. The Casualities article mentions that 'only 23 survivors who were in or below the towers escaped from the debris, including 15 rescue workers', but my Time magazine source (which I mentioned in the article and can be seen seems to refute the fact by saying "(Giselle Guzman-McMillian) became the last of just four people caught in the debris to be found alive. (An additional 14, mostly fire fighters, survived relatively unscathed in a lower part of stairway B that stayed upright.)" I would have changed it myself but I wasn't sure if you've seen or heard of a source that backs up the original article's claim.
I'd love to hear your input on both points. Thanks, Aude! I am loving being a part of this project, for sure! I hope you enjoy my contributions as well. WiiAlbanyGirl (talk) 00:15, 15 September 2010 (UTC)

Hi – you're listed at Wikipedia:Portal/Directory as one of the maintainers of this portal, which is looking rather neglected at the moment and would seem to fail current standards for featured portals. I've raised a few issues on the talk page which might be of interest to you if you'd like the portal to keep its bronze star. Regards, BencherliteTalk 12:33, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Aloha. I was wondering if you could help me clean up the commons category a little? (commons:Category:WikiProject Screencast). I'm not very familiar with categories in general, and at commons not at all...
Those are just suggestions, and possibly you can see a better solution. No rush, I'm just making notes as I find things that need doing :)
Congratulations, your test was successful! ;-) --Kim Bruning (talk) 16:16, 11 October 2010 (UTC) I

Hello, your nomination of Alexis Rockman at DYK was reviewed and comments provided. --NortyNort (Holla) 10:49, 20 October 2010 (UTC)
In advance of the meetup, I thought I'd see if I can get a brief What's-the-Deal for FedFlix? I've actually seen a talk by Malamud and thought he's doing some pretty cool stuff. So I'd be pretty interested in lending a hand to digitization.
Is this a new idea for a WikiProject or something I just hadn't heard of? Are there Wikipedians talking about getting this going? Is there a request list of videos for articles or is it yet to be figured out what videos could go where?

Aude,
I was at our first GLAM presentation for the Smithsonian's American Indian museum. I have a friend who works at the Library of Congress, and last night we were talking about her work, and she mentioned the gigs of hi-res images she's working with. I mentioned the Wikipedia Commons to her, and how they love to host public domain multimedia. I had previously told her about the GLAM presentation for the American Indian museum, so she brought that up and saidhttp://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Aude&action=edit§ion=53 we should get in touch with her, and that she knew just who she wanted to forward the information to. I think this could be a good opportunity for the GLAM initiative. Would you email me about this?
Thanks,
—Perceval 23:43, 15 November 2010 (UTC)
Ok, I can get the project page setup for the most part in a couple days but I gotta ask a couple groundwork questions.
I think this is a good start number 2 is the most important because I need to know where to start building the project page. Once we make it its a bit of a headache to move it. --Kumioko (talk) 05:04, 21 December 2010 (UTC)
Ok the Shell of the project has been built, the categories have been created, {{WikiProject United States}} has been updated to support it and the project has been displayed at the top of Wikipedia:WikiProject United States in prominance with the other 3 it currently supports. There is still a lot of info that needs to be filled in before were done but I think its a decent start. As I mentioned above if the decision is made that it should go under GLAM then we can make that happen. Please feel free to start adding to what I started or let me know what you need. --Kumioko (talk) 20:55, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Hello Aude! Thank you for the award. Its always nice to know one's work is appreciated. I, too, am looking forward to a full return as soon as possible, though when exactly a.s.a.p. will be has yet to be determined by the fates. As they say, life is what happens while you are busy making other plans.
At the moment have yet to explore the full fedflix project, though from what little I have read it seems to hold great potential for a number of different projects (milhist included). For what should be obvious reasons I would prefer to wait on lending any assistance to the project until such time as I actually get my tower back up in working condition, since I would prefer that the editing I do not be few and far between such as it were.
On the matter of technical help though two people do come to mind, though I regret that of the two only Kirill Lokshin (talk · contribs) lives in the DC area. The other user I can think of who may be in a position to lend technical support to the fedflix project is Stan Shebs (talk · contribs), he is also in the software field and by curious twist has an account on the commons, which may be helpful since I gather that the material you are attempting to get uploaded here may eventually end up there. I hope this helps. TomStar81 (Talk) 08:59, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Hi Aude! I recently got an email from someone with a link to American School for the Deaf, and I looked into the wiki history, and noticed some rather general pattern involving User:Clercfan, namely that his edits are often reverted. I also looked at Clercfan's talk page, and there were numerous criticisms of the failure to follow the guidelines on copyright policy, which had been ongoing over the years. I get the impression that this guy never bothered to read his talk page, and, based on the email, I believe I know who that guy is behind the name Clercfan, and that guy lives in California, and is somewhat well-known in the deaf community (I won't name who here). Of course I have no way of telling whether Clercfan actually lives in California (I have no info on Clercfan's usual IP addresses), or that Clercfan is actually that guy.
At any rate, I thought to flag this user for your attention, and I hope it isn't a distraction or that I made some mistake in my judgment about that user. Thanks for at least looking into it, and possibly taking actions as needed. TheBlueWizard (talk) 16:22, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
