Men of All Colors Together Boston Chapter
Hi, I understand this article was intended to be part of an education program? Unfortunately it appeared to in part an unambiguous copyright infringement of this site, so it had to be deleted. I'm admittedly not that familiar with how the education programs work on Wikipedia (you can ask anything at the education noticeboard), but copyright infringement is not acceptable in any capacity – anywhere on the wiki. Furthermore, it's probably best to keep the article in the user or draft space while work is being done on it, especially when it seems chiefly promotional as this one did, or if there's question the organization is notable. The patrollers are quick to tag articles with major fallacies for speedy deletion, and that surely will put a damper on the educational experience. Again the folks over at WP:EDUN will be able to tell you more. Thanks for your understanding! — MusikAnimal talk 22:00, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:MusikAnimal, thanks for the notice. I agree the article wasn't where it should've been to be in the article namespace. The student will have to redouble his efforts. -Reagle (talk) 13:10, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
Change in your user rights
Your Wikipedia account was previously granted a user right called "course instructor" by the Wiki Education Foundation. That right enabled you to create a course page through the EducationProgram MediaWiki extension. Starting in fall 2015, the Wiki Education Foundation has discontinued its use of this extension. Going forward, users should create course pages through the Wiki Education Foundation website. That application is more user-friendly, and any content is automatically mirrored to Wikipedia. To prevent confusion, we'll be removing your "course instructor" user right, as it is not needed with the new system. This is simply a notification of the technical change to your account. No action is needed from you at this time.
If you plan on teaching with Wikipedia for the fall 2015 term, please email me (helainewikiedu.org) for instructions how to create your next course page using our new system. --Helaine (Wiki Ed) (talk), sent by MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 02:34, 21 July 2015 (UTC)

Hey Professor. I'm getting used to the wikipedia stuff, however, it won't let me join the course page. Also, the "Lie Witness" news clip from class reminded me of this one. Check it out if you haven't seen it! -Torma616 (talk) 04:06, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for October 27
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Taza Chocolate, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Cacao. 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.

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
