Welcome to the Philately WikiProject. Hopefully you have a good time, start many new articles and can contribute lots to the existing ones as we need that.

@Ww2censor Thanks for the welcome! If you have the time, I had a couple quick questions about philately on Wikipedia. Clearly there are a lot of things that Wikipedia is not, and Wikipedia definitely isn't meant to be Colnect. But reviewing past PRODs, AfD discussions, etc., I can't get a good sense of what the community consensus is surrounding philatelic notability. Are there any proposed guidelines for notability in stamps beyond GNG? How can writers discern which articles can justifiably be created (and which will actually benefit Wikipedia long-term)? If you have any thoughts on this kind of thing I'd appreciate hearing them. Many thanks.

Before an editor removed several redlinks from this list, there were stamps listed for which articles could be written. The Category:Post and philately stubs lists over 500 article that are very short and I'm certain with a bit of work many could be expanded. While not sub articles, many of the individual country articles, such as Postage stamps and postal history of Nepal are quite short and lacking detail which could easily be expanded if you have access to decent references. Some have been written in other languages which could be translated but machine translation is not a good solution and is disabled but you will have to search for references and other languages seem to not care so much for verification like the enwiki. Choose topics you have knowledge of or have reference material for. Just ask if you need some other advise and good luck. ww2censor (talk) 00:50, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"20240618005000","author":"Ww2censor","type":"comment","level":3,"id":"c-Ww2censor-20240618005000-SunTunnels-20240617161900","replies":[]}}-->

Hello,
Thank you for helping set up and write Ilean's page. I don't know how to add a photo of her and was wondering if you could post one that I can provide. It is not copyrighted, since it is my own personal photo I took of her. I am her sister.
There is also a lot of information about her in the 2021 Council on Asian Pacific Minnesotan's Annual Report pages 9-13:
If you could add her delegation with Betty Mccollough 2003-2005, Humanitarian Award 2006 and the creation of Maiv PAC 2016, it would be great.
Hnub Tsiab also renamed their "Live your best life" grant for her posthumously (Ilean named and helped create the grant). The grant is now funded through Ilean's endowment (it is the first endowment created by a Hmong woman--I have no citation) and is awarded annually.
Thanks very much for writing me, and I'm sorry for your loss. I was happy to write Ilean's page – she did a lot of important and notable work and I figured she should absolutely have an article. The 2021 CAPM report you linked to will no doubt help in adding sourced information, for sure; I'll work on improving the article sometime this month. Side question: the article currently uses 'Her' to refer to her (in the way articles use last names). Would it be more accurate to use 'Ilean' mainly instead? I'm afraid I don't have the necessary cultural awareness about Hmong names to know what's appropriate in that case.
As for the photo, having one would be a great addition to the article. I'm pretty new to Wikimedia Commons but the two easiest (copyright-free and stable) ways I think the photo could be uploaded are:
1) You use the 'wizard' process outlined at this link to upload the photo yourself to Wikimedia Commons, and then either you or I can add the photo to Ilean's article, or
2) You can upload the photo to a site like Flickr, set it to be public domain or copyright-free, and send me the link. I can import it from Flickr into Wikimedia Commons and use it in the article.
Feel free to go ahead and try either/both of these routes, and let me know if you have any questions at all! We can also find some way for you to send me the photo, and I could try to upload it. Thanks again.

On 5 August 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Aniya Holder, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that Aniya Holder secured a spot at the 2024 Summer Olympics by winning a speed climbing competition, for which she had started training without even knowing that it was an Olympics qualifier? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Aniya Holder. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Aniya Holder), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

On 11 September 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Jajaira Gonzalez, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that USA Boxing's head coach said that Olympian Jajaira Gonzalez's return to boxing was "like Lazarus coming back from the dead"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Jajaira Gonzalez. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Jajaira Gonzalez), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed.

The 2024 Developing Countries WikiContest has come to a close! After a thrilling finish to the event with a slew of submissions on the final day, we have our winners. With 608 points, Thebiguglyalien (submissions) comes in third with his series of Kiribati and Botswanan submissions; BeanieFan11 (submissions) flies into second place at the last second with 771 points after a string of good articles about sportspersons; and after leading for much of contest's three months, Generalissima (submissions) finishes with a whopping 798 points to take home the Gold Belt Buckle. Congratulations to our winners!
In addition to his spot in the top three, BeanieFan11 (submissions) also wins the special awards for submitting under the most countries (44 countries) and for writing the most articles about women (15 Did you know? nominations)! Magentic Manifestations (submissions), after making 16 submissions under the Indian flag—15 of them good articles—receives the awards for most submissions for a single country and most featured or good articles promoted. For their submission of one FAC review, five FLC reviews, and 20 GAN reviews, Simongraham (submissions) wins for most article reviews.
The results of the contest have far exceeded any expectations the coordinators had for it at the beginning: among the submissions to the event were 3 FAs, 10 FLs, 88 GAs, dozens of article reviews of every kind, and more Did you know? submissions than we can count! Regardless of your level of participation, every contestant can be proud to have contributed towards a major step in countering the systemic bias on Wikipedia. Every year, millions of readers and editors around the globe use Wikipedia to educate themselves and communicate with others about parts of the world that often receive less attention than they deserve. Thank you for participating with us in the contest and contributing to this effort. The DCWC will return next year and we look forward to seeing you contribute again! However, before that...
We need your feedback! Join the conversation on the talk page to discuss your reflections on the contest (even if you didn't participate!) and help us make it better.

Talk about the future of the Minnesota User Group and see what nefarious plans we can hatch.
Date: Sunday, November 3, 2024 Time: 1 to 3:30 pm (reminder - Daylight Saving Time ends) Place: Wild Mind Ales' 6031 Pillsbury Ave, Minneapolis, MN
Look forward to seeing folks!

Hello, and welcome to the December newsletter, a quarterly digest of Guild activities since September. If you no longer want this newsletter, you can unsubscribe at any time; see below. If you'd like to be notified of upcoming drives and blitzes, and other GOCE activities, the best method is to add our announcements box to your watchlist.
Election news: The Guild's coordinators play an important role in the WikiProject, making sure nearly everything runs smoothly and on time. Editors in good standing (unblocked and without sanctions) are invited to nominate themselves or another editor to be a Guild coordinator (with their permission, of course) until 23:59 on 15 December (UTC). The voting phase begins at 00:01 on 16 December and runs until 23:59 on 31 December. Questions may be asked of candidates at any stage in the process. Elected coordinators will serve a six-month term from 1 January through 30 June.
Drive: In our September Backlog Elimination Drive, 67 editors signed up, 39 completed at least one copy edit, and between them they edited 682,696 words comprising 507 articles. Barnstars awarded are here.
Blitz: The October Copy Editing Blitz saw 16 editors sign-up, 15 of whom completed at least one copy edit. They edited 76,776 words comprising 35 articles. Barnstars awarded are here.
Drive: In our November Backlog Elimination Drive, 432,320 words in 151 articles were copy edited. Of the 54 users who signed up, 33 copy edited at least one article. Barnstars awarded are posted here.
Blitz: The December Blitz will begin at 00:00 on 15 December (UTC) and will end on 21 December at 23:59. Sign up here. Barnstars awarded will be posted here.
Progress report: As of 22:12, 7 December 2024 (UTC), GOCE copy editors have completed 333 requests since 1 January, and the backlog of tagged articles stands at 2,401 articles.
Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators, Dhtwiki, Miniapolis, Mox Eden and Wracking.
