Evolution

Hi, thanks for the quick reply! You had mentioned some of the Muhammad al-Durrah issues to me before, but I didn't know the full scope. This sounds like an excellent and unique story; I think there's a great deal of value in providing a window into that article's development.

I believe that these stories will be useful in any number of ways, but here's an example of how: my current work has me interacting frequently with university professors. (See Subject-Matter-Improvement Pilot Program) They are generally curious to understand how Wikipedia articles are developed. I have many stories I can tell about the articles I've worked on, but of course that is only a tiny fraction of Wikipedia content (mostly related to Oregon history). So I would like to be able to draw from a varied selection of articles in different topic areas. In addition, having something pre-made, with screen shots and pull-quotes, is a great tool to accompany a verbal presentation.

Of course I understand that you're not able to commit right now to doing this, but I hope you will at some point. I will look for opportunities to make it a bit less time-consuming for you. And I really appreciate your willingness to give it some consideration! -Pete F 07:59, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for making a strong start at Evolution of an article (Muhammad al-Durrah incident)! You're taking a refreshingly different approach to the Evolution of an Article series. I am eager to see where it goes!

Sorry you had trouble uploading images. I am not certain, but I think you may need to be autoconfirmed in order to upload here. (Perhaps not the best choice, I'll look into it.) In any event, I've made you an administrator, so hopefully that will resolve it. -Pete F 16:06, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

Recent removal of rights

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)
