Thanks!
I just wanted to say thanks for fixing the links up over on Choctaw-Apache Tribe of Ebarb. Was just finally getting around to it when I noticed you'd done it already! So, thanks-- Ljpernic (talk) 11:52, 27 August 2014 (UTC)
Tibetan Collaboration
Hi, Djembayz! Let's collaborate on some Tibetan articles at some point. I've been trying to find solid resources for Akhu Tönpa and build it up, but it's got a ways to go. Check it out when you get a chance! Upjav (talk) 19:09, 30 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia and YOUR History: Taking Control of the Internet
See you at the Laurel Pool Room, 9th and Main Street, Laurel, MD on Thursday, September 11, 2014 at 7:00 PM EST. See http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205494212/ for more information. Geraldshields11 (talk) 02:13, 6 September 2014 (UTC)
Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon
The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.
If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.
When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC
For more information, see http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205500822/

Disambiguation link notification for November 10
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Edna Buckman Kearns, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Annuals. 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.

spokane language name-change
got no problems with it, other than wondering if the name as changed-to is used also by the Spokane Tribe of Indians as well as the other tribal organizations. I've linked it on Spokane people ... there is no Spokane Tribe of Indians government article as of yet.Skookum1 (talk) 03:53, 19 December 2014 (UTC)

February 2015
Welcome to Wikipedia. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Template:Wikipedia policies and guidelines, did not appear to be constructive and has been reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at the welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Thank you. Jim Carter 11:43, 18 February 2015 (UTC)
Unstoppable: The Emerging Left–Right Alliance to Dismantle the Corporate State
Thanks for creating the page on Nader's book. I spent a chunk of February dipping my toes into the shark-infested waters at the American Left talk page and the associated article, and I may have managed to kick a shark or two before escaping relatively unscathed. Or maybe I just replaced one shark with a different one. The results are at User:Flying_Jazz. Depending on your political views, you might find what's there hilarious or amusing or troubling or upsetting, but based on your creation of the article for Nader's book, your academic background, and the time you've been at Wikipedia, I'm hoping for the first option which is why I'm writing here. There must be some joy and fun at Wikipedia now and then! Flying Jazz (talk) 22:09, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
List of African American men in STEM fields
Some misunderstanding here. At 4:34, 25 February 2015,User:Cullen328 moved page List of African American men in STEM fields to Donald R. Brown on the basis that that was the actual topic, so I think the text has been moved rather than deleted. My only role was to delete the resulting redirect on the basis that it was implausible, but feel free to recreate the redirect if you disagree. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:00, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

Invitation
Hello, Djembayz,
The Editing team is asking for your help with VisualEditor. I am contacting you because you were one of the very first testers of VisualEditor, back in 2012 or early 2013. Please tell them what they need to change to make VisualEditor work better for you. The team has a list of top-priority problems, but they also want to hear about small problems. These problems may make editing less fun, take too much of your time, or be as annoying as a paper cut. The Editing team wants to hear about and try to fix these small things, too.
You can share your thoughts by clicking this link. You may respond to this quick, simple, anonymous survey in your own language. If you take the survey, then you agree your responses may be used in accordance with these terms. This survey is powered by Qualtrics and their use of your information is governed by their privacy policy.
More information (including a translateable list of the questions) is posted on wiki at mw:VisualEditor/Survey 2015. If you have questions, or prefer to respond on-wiki, then please leave a message on the survey's talk page.
Thank you, Whatamidoing (WMF) (talk) 18:12, 23 March 2015 (UTC)

You are right
Hi Djembayz, you are right with your post on the LB page about the real world implications of a hostile environment. However, the problem is that LB's problems are self-inflicted. It's sort of like trying to deal with a difficult customer at a business who behaves inappropriately. I like the point you made that WMF has to pull on their big kid boots and grow a spine, not defer to the unpaid volunteers of arbcom. But here we do have an individual behavior issue. I don't have an answer, but I wanted to tell you that I agree with your RL concerns, but as I know EC via Facebook and he's not satan, I really do liken this to a situation where you have two clients who both patronize a business, but whose paths should never cross, as opposed to two co-workers whose paths should never cross and one or both of them will ultimately get fired. I wish I had a definitive answer to your dilemma. Montanabw(talk) 01:13, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
- Montanabw, shouldn't this be on User talk:Djembayz (which was moved here and is still a redirect)? I'd move it there but that might be rude. ekips39❦talk 19:39, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
