*Hi Alan. I have closed the ANI thread. Your topic ban has been extended indefinitely. Note that you may appeal this at ] in the future, and requesting a ] unban (after six months with no violations) would be a good way of going about that. As Rusf10's corresponding topic ban is still set to expire, the community has granted you an exception to allow you to respond to any deletion nominations where you have created or significantly contributed the article in question. In such situations, you will be allowed a single statement of any length as long as it is content-based and not personally directed at Rusf10 in any way. This is not to say that Rusf10 will be allowed to harass or bait you, but if you feel that's happening you'll need to report that at AN or ANI and not violate the terms of the IBAN. See the ANI thread or the updated IBAN at ] for details, and let me know if you have any questions. Regards, ] ] 14:16, 19 August 2018 (UTC)

File:Monir Portrait-exh ph021.jpg

On Saturday April 30, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fourth Misplaced Pages edit-a-thon — or, #guggathon — to enhance Misplaced Pages's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Misplaced Pages.

The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Misplaced Pages Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Misplaced Pages Asian Month, and Art+Feminism.

New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Misplaced Pages and Misplaced Pages specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our global MENA Artists Month partnership page to coordinate international and online events as well.

Time: Presentation: 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm, Edit-a-thon: 2:30pm - 6:00pm
Location: Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, 1071 Fifth Avenue (88th Street), New York City, New York 10128
Guests should enter using the 88th Street entrance via the ramp at 88th Street and Fifth Avenue

Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) ~~~~~

  • Hi Alan. I have closed the ANI thread. Your topic ban has been extended indefinitely. Note that you may appeal this at WP:AN in the future, and requesting a standard offer unban (after six months with no violations) would be a good way of going about that. As Rusf10's corresponding topic ban is still set to expire, the community has granted you an exception to allow you to respond to any deletion nominations where you have created or significantly contributed the article in question. In such situations, you will be allowed a single statement of any length as long as it is content-based and not personally directed at Rusf10 in any way.
