Welcome to Meta! edit
Hello Grifter72, and welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). If you would like, feel free to ask me questions on my talk page. Happy editing! M/ 23:34, 27 April 2010 (UTC)
Note edit
I apologize that I am writing in English. I have asked that you be unblocked on Meta. I must stress the following:
- Do not make "legal threats" (Minacce legali). They can be anything when mentioning the law or that something "must" be removed. These are rude and can cause problems. Just be polite and stress that something bothers you but do not threaten. Make sure to say that you retract any legal threats.
- If you have a problem with an image, please contact the Commons community here. However, the images released were under GFDL. Most GFDL images are moved to commons so that everyone can use them. By uploading to Wiki, you are giving your work to the community. Now, if it was a true mistake or someone didn't have the rights to the image, then there is a possibility it could be taken down.
- Please remember to be calm and not to blame anyone for any problems. Most of us are trying to do what is best for everyone and sometimes individuals can be hurt. Our first concern is to keep the peace, so, as long as you are nice, courteous, and treat people with respect everything will go better.
If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to contact me and ask. I am available on commons also (here).

Sentite scuse edit
A causa di un paio di grosse sviste, dovrai riunificare i tuoi account, visitando la pagina di servizio Special:MergeAccount. Questa sera, infatti ho creduto che la pubblicazione da parte tua dei dati di un utente fosse un tentativo di forzare la mano. In seguito all'intervento di un altro utente, in realtà ho capito di aver preso un granchio, in quanto i dati dell'utente stesso sono sulla sua pagina. Purtroppo, nel momento in cui sono andato ad eseguire lo sblocco del tuo account, ho sbagliato bottone e ho eliminato il tuo account globale. Ti chiedo pertanto doppiamente scusa per la mia disattenzione. In caso avessi qualsiasi problema riguardo la risistemazione del tuo account globale, puoi contattarmi sulla mia talk o in mail a mario.m7 (at) gmail.com
Translator, We need you! edit
Dear Grifter72,
You have helped us in previous years with translations and for that we are most grateful. Now we turn towards the 2011/12 fundraiser. It may seem forever away, but work has already begun getting everything ready to go. This year we want to have landing pages covering as many countries in as many languages as possible.
Right now, we want to figure out who is interested in translating for the fundraiser. This year we're hoping to have more of a solidified "core" group of translators that we can count on to have work done by a few key dates, but we'd also welcome help from people who are willing to just help out when they can.
If you would be interested please take a look at this little sign-up survey and fill it out http://survey.wikimedia.org/index.php?sid=13638&newtest=Y&lang=en. With that we can start building a list of people and filling any gaps in the languages we serve.
Many Thanks

Gràcies/Thank you edit
Hola, gràcies a la teva firma donant suport a la nostra associació. El passat dia 5 de juny Amical Wikimedia (Associació Amical Viquipèdia) va ser reconeguda pel Consell d'Administració de la Fundació Wikimedia com a Organització Temàtica. Pots veure el comunicat de l'associació en català aquí o el comunicat de la WMF en anglès aquí. Per a la nostra associació és una fita molt important, portàvem 5 anys demanant ésser un organisme oficial. Nosaltres continuarem la nostra tasca de promoció al carrer i a les institucions de la Viquipèdia i els seus projectes germans arreu dels territoris de parla catalana.
Hello, thanks for your signature giving support to our association. Last 5th of June Amical Wikimedia (Associació Amical Viquipèdia) was recognised by the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees as a Thematic Organization. You can read the news bulletin of our association in Catalan here or the WMF's bulletin in English here. For our association, this is a very important achievement: we have been pursuing the official recognition for the last 5 years. We are going to continue the task of promoting Wikipedia and its sister projects all around the Catalan-speaking regions.
Moltes gràcies, Thank you --Davidpar (talk) 15:36, 14 July 2013 (UTC)
Superprotect status edit
Dear Grifter72, since you are an administrator on a wiki from which no user participated in this discussion, I'd like to make sure you are aware of some recent events which may alter what the Wikimedia Foundation lets you do on your wiki: Superprotect.
- Request for comment: Requests for comment/Superprotect rights
- An open letter about its implementation: Letter to Wikimedia Foundation: Superprotect and Media Viewer
Un grazie e un libro sulla conoscenza libera per te edit
Gentile Grifter72,
oggi ti scrivo a nome dell'associazione Wikimedia Italia per ringraziarti del tempo che hai dedicato ai progetti Wikimedia.
Come piccolo omaggio avremmo piacere di spedirti una copia (tutta in carta riciclata) del libro di Carlo Piana, Open source, software libero e altre libertà. Fornisci un recapito per ricevere una copia del libro.
Pochi giorni fa il mondo ha festeggiato la giornata dell'amore per il software libero, ma ogni giorno è buono per ricordare le garanzie delle licenze libere e le centinaia di migliaia di persone che si sono unite per costruire questo bene comune della conoscenza. Speriamo che questo libro ti sia utile per apprezzare quanto hai fatto e per trasmettere la passione della conoscenza libera a una persona a te vicina.
Se desideri una copia ma non puoi fornirci un indirizzo a cui spedirla, contatta la segreteria Wikimedia Italia e troviamo una soluzione insieme.
Grazie ancora e a presto,
