Wikimania 2012 bid, DC chapter & next meetup!
- At WikiXDC in January, User:Harej proposed that DC submit a bid to host Wikimania 2012. A bid and organizing committee is being formed and seeks additional volunteers to help. Please look at our bid page and sign up if you want to help out. You can also signup for the bid team's email list.
- To support the Wikimania bid, more events like WikiXDC, and outreach activities like collaborations with the Smithsonian (ongoing) and National Archives, there also has been discussion of forming Wikimedia DC, as an official Wikimedia chapter. You can express interest and contribute to chapter discussions on the Wikimedia DC Meta-Wiki pages.

Civility issue regarding a user page
I want an outside opinion on a user's conduct and possible response to said user from an admin. While I am not sure if your involvement in my AE case makes it appropriate for you to act after my request, perhaps you could get a different admin to look at the situation. User:MONGO made a change to his user page that I am concerned might be perceived as baiting. It contains a diff of a comment concerning a dispute he had with User:Malleus Fatuorum (a dispute that ended up on AN/I) that provoked some personal attacks MONGO later retracted. The edit summary MONGO gives for the change to his user page says the following:
it's okay for me to refer to myself as this if others not of my country can also do so....
He has subsequently redone the change without that summary, but I do not think the general impression of the change is any different and the old edit summary can still be seen obviously. I raised my concerns about the potentially uncivil nature of the change, but the comment was removed. The general nature and context of the change may not have been noticed by other editors (Malleus specifically) and, if that is the case, it could escalate the dispute should they notice. My hope is that an admin's suggestion regarding the change might be taken more seriously. If you concur that the change to MONGO's user page is likely to be perceived as baiting and uncivil, then I think it would be good to have an admin suggest that the user undo the change to prevent escalation.--The Devil's Advocate (talk) 17:52, 29 November 2011 (UTC)

The ACE voter log
Well, this is election stuff! About the voter log thing. The socks mostly know how to behave, but it's a bit overwhelming to keep an eye on them 24/7 in these election times. Could you please let me know immediately if you see the evil little anklebiter trying to vote? Regards, Bishonen | talk 01:13, 9 December 2011 (UTC).
