replies: text: I've been intending to expand the history section of the UCSC article for a while now, using the UC archives and possibly making a trip down to browse Special Collections at the McHenry Library, but I've been slammed with work.  I anticipate having time to work on it in a few weeks.  We've already gotten it to GA, and I'd love to see that article hit FA.  After that, I'd like to propose concentrating on a GA -> FA drive for the top-level, University of California article.  --Dynaflow babble 23:36, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No rush for free labor! But yeah, considering how newspapers tend to write about how new developments affect the UC as a whole, developing the main UC article would be easier than, say the UCR article, as there are far more comprehensive references to work with. The main UC article already is pretty good, if a bit too much information and too disorganized for my tastes; a lot of the sections such as "Admissions," and units within "Peripheral enterprises" could be forked off or discussed in other articles that are already there, particularly the national lab articles or other UC campus articles. GA for UC would be relatively easy, but a colossal effort would be required to get it through FA, in my opinion. (UCR is pretty much "built-out," at this point.)

message: I looked up a source used to cite the endowment of UC Riverside after an anonymous IP user asked a question about it. The question was answered, but from it, I found that each of the campus article do not use the same source to cite their endowment. 
UC Irvine for example has the reported endowment of $189.4 million from the Annual Endowment Report of University of California (AERUC), but UC Irvine's press release reports it to be at $230 million. To make the matter even more cluster-numbered, I remember U.S. News and Report stating the university had $800 million. 
UC Berkeley had the reported endowment of $2.4 billion from the AERUC, yet U.S. News and Reports states it to be over $3 billion. 
Granted, the AERUC's report is somewhat outdated by a year, but it's probably the only authoritative source (against U.S. News and Reports) and puts all campuses under the same standards (unlike individual news releases by each campus). So should we use AERUC as our universal source despite it being outdated by one year or use the latest that are found from elsewhere?
--BirdKr (talk) 17:14, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I would be for it, but I am also ok with using more recent campus press releases for this information, until the AERUC is updated again. I don't know what is holding the UCOP back from publishing an updated endowment report, but I would think the more recent endowment information provided by individual UC campuses is trustworthy. Just as long as the ref for this isn't US News, I'm ok with listing whatever figure that is supported by a UC source. Ameriquedialectics 17:55, 2 March 2008 (UTC)

text: It's done. I'll check up on UCOP often for the latest version--BirdKr (talk) 04:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

text: .  An encyclopedia article should contain only information from authoritative sources. For UC endowment figures this would mean the AERUC or a press release from the University of California or a specific UC Campus, with preference given to the latest published reliable source. I agree with Amerique's suspicion that some media sources are lumping assets into their endowment figures that are not typically considered part of the endowment (see Talk:University_of_California%2C_San_Diego#Endowment and Talk:University_of_California%2C_Davis#Endowment for more discussion of this). I view the publication of larger numbers from non-authoritative sources (typically seen from anonymous IP posters) as a form of well-intended boosterism, but boosterism nonetheless.-- Vantelimus (talk) 19:03, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

text: I'm not a lawyer, but as far as I can tell, the seal still being in active use as a trademark means that it's not "free" and thus Wikipedia:Non-free content guidelines apply. I personally don't care, I even think it's a great idea, but putting the seal in the template would reproduce it all over the UC articles and thus violate the minimal use provisions of  Wikipedia policy. I wouldn't be the one to revert for doing that, but plenty of other people will. Ameriquedialectics 14:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I was think the same rationale that applies to Notre_dame_coat_of_arms.png applies here.      That image was incorporated into Template:University_of_Notre_Dame.  I think trademarks that aren't copyrighted are not WP:NFC, those guidelines seem to only deal with copyrighted works.  Can anyone elaborate?  Also, if this my theory is correct it would seem that there are a lot of images throughout wikipedia have their licensing info wrong.  eg. :Image:Harvard_shield-University.png, :Image:Official_Yale_Shield.png (I'm betting these are pretty old seeing as how those universities are over 300 years old)Nguyenmdk (talk) 01:42, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I find that argument persuasive re: Notre Dame's coat of arms, also per the further rationales on that  talk page. There tends to be an atmosphere of "more heat than light" in discussions on WP surrounding free/fair use distinctions... not everyone is operating on the same "page," as it were. If you'd like to upload a clean version of the "unofficial seal" with a transparent background for use in the template I'd support using that for both the UC and UC wikiproject templates, but I'd expect it to draw controversy.

message: As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level.  The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
*The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.  
*The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.  
*A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.  
Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at :Category:C-Class_articles.  If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages.  The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles. 
Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme.  This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year.  Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

message: There's a dispute over at Talk:University_of_California_Museum_of_Paleontology regarding the priority/importance rating for that article.  My understanding is that the priority/importance ratings are specific to this particular project, in which case only the articles for the individual UC campuses (and the system as a whole) really qualify as "Top" priority.  I've changed the text of the assessment page to reflect this.  If I'm mistaken in this understanding, or if I'm off-base with my opinion regarding which articles are of "Top" priority even for this project, please feel free to offer your alternate opinion so we can sort this out.  --UC_Bill (talk) 15:20, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Despite being located on the UC Berkeley campus, the museum is actually a state-wide institution and thus probably deserves a "Top" priority ranking.

message: Hi all,
My name is Adi Khajuria and I am helping out with Wikimania 2014 in London.
One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations.
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
• Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
• Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
• Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
• Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
• Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
The deadline for submissions is 1st July 2014

thread_title:  Expert attention 

message: Hello everyone!
You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

message: Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.
We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma (talk) 04:25, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

message: I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
*John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.)
and turns it into something like
* John Smith "" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.
It will work on a variety of links, including those from ,  and .
The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.
Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

message: Hello! I'm here on behalf of Chan Zuckerberg Biohub, a nonprofit that partners with UC-Berkeley and UCSF to advance medical science, developing new diagnostic processes, therapies, and cures. If you would like to know more about my conflict of interest, you can read my full disclosure on my user page.
I have a small ask for any interested editors at this WikiProject: would you mind reviewing an edit request I posted to CZ Biohub's Talk page? It's a pair of updates that add a logo and a purpose line to the page's infobox. Due to my COI, I can't edit the article directly and need independent editors to approve my suggestions. If anyone could help me out with this, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Patricia at GMMB (talk) 18:30, 5 August 2022 (UTC)
