Personally I don't like such requests to sysadmins, they're usually an
unneeded hassle for everyone, but this how-to nicely fills a gap left by
the more general how-to on

hello...sir i want to ask u a favour....i am writing a research essay on gambling in cricket and the research question is ..whether it shuold be legalized or not....i eant some data about this ...it would be your great help if u provide me with some data or suggest me some links....thanks
Sorry if I'm a bit late, but a year later I still don't understand where
the best practices documentation is supposed to stay in the future and
where I should edit them.
I've heard that some other wikis will be merged back in Meta-Wiki or
MediaWikiWiki; what about these pages?
Unless some staffer is going to keep attention and work on these pages
specifically at outreachwiki, I would move them back to Meta, where they
have been created and discussed, and where most interested users are.
Otherwise, I'll do the opposite, merge previous histories and place
interwiki redirects on Meta.
Thank you,
Nemo

Hallo!
I just want to say thank you for all your work and support in the last
months! I think we achieved a lot: Some articles improved enormously and
many others were originated.
It was a great pleasure to work with you and I hope we can continue in the
next year!
Happy Holidays!
Kathrin
