Hello! The Wikimedia Foundation is asking for your feedback in a survey. We want to know how well we are supporting your work on and off wiki, and how we can change or improve things in the future.[1] The opinions you share will directly affect the current and future work of the Wikimedia Foundation. You have been randomly selected to take this survey as we would like to hear from your Wikimedia community. To say thank you for your time, we are giving away 20 Wikimedia T-shirts to randomly selected people who take the survey.[2] The survey is available in various languages and will take between 20 and 40 minutes.
You can find more information about this project. This survey is hosted by a third-party service and governed by this privacy statement. Please visit our frequently asked questions page to find more information about this survey. If you need additional help, or if you wish to opt-out of future communications about this survey, send an email to surveys@wikimedia.org.
Thank you! --EGalvez (WMF) (talk) 21:27, 13 January 2017 (UTC)

Regarding some files you uploaded[edit]
Hi, I deleted those Obama images as they were not used anywhere (and also not related to the MediaWiki development in general!). Personal images (of yourself) is okay, but this wiki doesn't need local uploads of random things that don't follow documentation of MediaWiki software.

- Tropicalkitty which files? I didn't get notifications about deletions recently. Note that this is a work account, and as a member of the Wikimedia Performance Team, everything I do on wiki is about MediaWiki development and Wikimedia operations, whether it's obvious or not. With links to the particular files, I would be able to clarify if those are tests that can be safely deleted or if they have some non-obvious long term purpose. Thanks!

- Okay. I apologize for deleting those without contacting you or your colleagues first. Tropicalkitty (talk) 06:34, 5 February 2019 (UTC)
