Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
Thank you!

Signpost gallery comment
Hi, you recently left a comment at Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Gallery. It should probably be moved to a more relevant talk page like Wikipedia talk:Wikipedia Signpost/2019-11-29/Gallery or WT:POST/N so that it will be noticed, and because it likely won't be relevant to the next draft Gallery article. (I only came across it because I'm tagging talkpages of the drafts for regular columns with {{Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Templates/Use newsroom}}
) Thanks, - Evad37 [talk] 10:05, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
- Thank you. It was relevant to the corresponding page when I left it there. It was User:Chris troutman who moved that page but not my comment; no doubt now that he's aware, he will fix it. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 13:50, 30 November 2019 (UTC)

Interface administrator changes
- An RfC on the administrator resysop criteria was closed. 18 proposals have been summarised with a variety of supported and opposed statements. The inactivity grace period within which a new request for adminship is not required has been reduced from three years to two. Additionally, Bureaucrats are permitted to use their discretion when returning administrator rights.
- Following a proposal, the edit filter mailing list has been opened up to users with the Edit Filter Helper right.
- Wikimedia projects can set a default block length for users via MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry. A new page, MediaWiki:ipb-default-expiry-ip, allows the setting of a different default block length for IP editors. Neither is currently used. (T219126)

Autopopulate userpage starting info from ORCID
Hi Andy. Given your role as ORCID Wikimedian in Residence, I realised I should post here that I've added a request on a few of these items on the 2020 Community Wishlist Survey. I also notified Brian Minihan at ORCID (email below). Are they also your contact there? Do you know what ORCID's current priorities are for further wikimedia integration?
I'm keen to see more and more integration with Wikimedia and ORCID. There are a couple of items that may be useful to bring to your attention. From ORCID -> Wikimedia ================= There is an orcid-relevant proposal at this year's Wikimedia's technical feature wishlist. Voting will begin in the coming weeks. Link below. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Wishlist_Survey_2020/Wikiversity From Wikimedia -> Orcid ================ Some ORCID users include an item called "Wikipedia contributions" or equivalent. (e.g. on 0000-0002-6290-8490). Is there any mechanism by which such users could be able to provide their wikimedia username in order to automatically link to for describing overall contributions, or to individual pages to summarise particular contributions. Obviously, wiki contributions are quite different from scholarly unit contributions, but there are emerging ways of summarising and presenting that data, e.g.: For a user: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/ec/en.wikipedia.org/Evolution_and_evolvability For a Featured Article page: https://xtools.wmflabs.org/articleinfo/en.wikipedia.org/Serpin Or some way that better fits with ORCID's way of organising and keeping data?
I'll be interested to know where orcid see things heading. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 04:34, 27 November 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Andy, have you had an opportunity to consider adding a sopport/oppose/comment to the ORCID community wishlist item? It would be good to get your feedback as ORCID's official Wikipedian in residence on whether it's possible. What're ORCID's priorities for wikimedia engagement through 2020? It'd be useful to know whether more can be done with them. T.Shafee(Evo&Evo)talk 06:33, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
- Hi, I thought I had posted support. Your message prompted me to check, and when I tried again, I'd missed the deadline :-( As for your original question, I'm awaiting feedback from ORCID following a staff meeting where a number of related issues were to be discussed.
