Gender gap task force invitation

We invite you to join Gender Gap task force. There you can coordinate with users who are trying to identify gender bias on Wikipedia (including gender bias in articles, in editor interactions, policies and implementation of policies) and take steps to counter it. If you would like to get involved, just visit the Gender Gap task force. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me or other members of the task force.

Disambiguation link notification for August 16

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dean Cornwell, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Chapel Hill. 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.

Traslados de títulos

Hola, disculpe que te moleste otra vez; pero desearía saber si le puedes explicar al usuario ElNiñoMonstruo sobre los traslados de títulos a mayúsculas, es que como tu hablas mejor el inglés, y yo no, pues tal vez me pueda entender o no, pero hay un cierto problema con éste usuario y es que cree que yo solo lo molesto y me creo dueño de wikipedia. El mismo día en el que fui bloqueado vi que hizo una gran cantidad de traslados en artículos de telenovelas; pido tu ayuda porque se que este usuario le gusta generar guerras de ediciones y no desearía ganarme otro bloqueo más. hace poco inició una guerras de ediciones en el artículo de A Vida da Gente, y otro usuario tuvo que revertirlo. Por ahora tendré que trasladar varios títulos a minúsculas.--Damián (talk) 03:29, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hola, gracias por avisarme. He escrito un mensaje en User talk:ElNiñoMonstruo para recordarle de la regla. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 03:55, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Hasta ahora no se ha iniciado ninguna guerra de ediciones, pero conozco a éste usuario, y siempre es así. Pero gracias por la ayuda.--Damián (talk) 04:05, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

Ice Bucket Challenge

Meatsgains (talk) has given you a large glass of milk, for assisting with a very messy article. Milk somehow promotes WikiLove and hopefully this has made your day better. Spread the WikiLove by giving someone else a glass of milk, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past or someone putting up with some stick at this time. Enjoy!

This glass of milk is for your tireless efforts on the Ice Bucket Challenge page. Now don't go pouring this on your head. :) Meatsgains (talk) 23:19, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Spread the lovely, cool, refreshing goodness of milk by adding {{subst:Milk}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

Thank you! And thanks for the hard work yourself! —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 01:04, 21 August 2014 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (capitalization)

Hola podrías participar en está discusión. Pues ya se ha armado un lío con todo esto; hay usuarios que dicen que da igual como vayan escritos los títulos en español, otros dicen que deben ir en mayúsculas y otros dicen que no. Sería bueno más participación allí. Para aclarar esto.--Damián (talk) 02:22, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

Muchísimas gracias por avisarme. He añadido la página a mi Watchlist, y probablemente participaré en la discusión. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 02:37, 23 August 2014 (UTC)

ALS charity table

Hi there Mr. G, I just reached out to a number of other charities on Twitter (MDA, Les Turner Foundation, Project ALS) hoping to get some more data from them on how much has been donated. The problem with the text (some of which I wrote) is that it's hard to parse, hard to update. A table is more scalable hence I put a fair amount of work into it! --PaulWicks (talk) 19:14, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi PaulWicks. I appreciate the work, but let me explain why I find the table confusing. The table throws a bunch of numbers together, but it's not very clear what those numbers mean or how they're relevant to the Ice Bucket Challenge. In contrast, the prose gives context and explains the importance of the numbers, and it also includes some information (such as the number of new donors to the ALS Association) that is left out of the table. As a side note, I don't see the importance of the Charity Navigator information at all. —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 19:19, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

There's a new controversy breaking specifically about the allocation of dollars to research. Some people are suggesting we don't donate to the ALS charities because of it. I've been in ALS research since 2002 so trying to provide citable sources. If the CN scores aren't helpful I still feel a table is more useful. --PaulWicks (talk) 19:21, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, if that controversy is worth discussing in the article, maybe the CN information could be included as part of it.

I still think the table alone is confusing because it lacks context, and it leaves out valuable information. Here's a possible compromise: what if we cut down the prose you removed to just one paragraph, to give context and emphasize the importance of the increase in donations, and include a table as well to give more numerical information? —Mr. Granger (talk · contribs) 19:25, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Sounds good to me. In the meantime I should have more data from the other orgs in the next few days so could flesh it out. Cheers! --PaulWicks (talk) 20:54, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Mitochondrial replacement

Thank you for responding to this edit request.

May I draw your attention to the Three-parent baby page on the off-chance you might know someone who might care to give it some tlc? Mitochondrial replacement is in the news at the moment [1], and is likely to attract further media and public attention in the coming months.
