Hello. I'm part of a research group at the University of Washington (Seattle campus), and my group is reaching out to Wikipedians in the Puget Sound area. We're hosting a focus group designed to gather information on what Wikipedians would like to know about each other when interacting on Wikipedia. Our end goal is to create an embedded application that helps people quickly know more about others' history and activity on Wikipedia, and we feel our design will be much more useful if it's based on insights of users like you.

I'm hoping that the chance to help out local researchers, to engage in lively face-to-face discussion with other Seattle Wikipedians, and to contribute to Wikipedia in a new way will entice you to join us. The session lasts 2 hours and snacks are provided. Sessions will be held on UW Seattle campus - directions will be sent after registration. Your contribution will be greatly appreciated!

Willing and able to help us out? RSVP here. Want to know more? Visit our user talk page . Please help us contact other local Wikipedians, too!

Hey, I was reading the article on navels, and I observed that it was you who uploaded the "outie" picture, and I thought to myself, "gee, where exactly does one get a picture of a navel...?". So that's my question to you.
Where'd you get it? (And do you even know who it is?
Thanks!

That picture is my own navel, and I tried to take it so it matched File:Navel 13 04 1993.jpg (the photo to the right).

Just curious, what do you mean when you say:

"The earlier layout was poor, with the camel's toe above the cameltoe, but the removed photograph would provide an appropriate illustration for the (currently missing) etymology. Perhaps a side by side layout would work well."

Nocturnal Wanderer 21:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]__DTELLIPSISBUTTON__{"threadItem":{"timestamp":"2009-08-07T21:00:00.000Z","author":"Nocturnal Wanderer","type":"comment","level":1,"id":"c-Nocturnal_Wanderer-2009-08-07T21:00:00.000Z-Cameltoe_(copied_from_Thinking_of_England)","replies":["c-Thinking_of_England-2009-08-08T01:08:00.000Z-Nocturnal_Wanderer-2009-08-07T21:00:00.000Z"],"displayName":"Nocturnal"}}-->

• Regarding the etymology (and borrowing words from one of the references) the "fashion faux pas" cameltoe derives its name from a "visual analogy" with the arrangement of a camel's toes, though this etymology is not mentioned in the text of the article. Thus the photograph of the camel's foot does "fit in with the article" and perhaps even obviates an explicit etymology.
• Regarding the old poor layout, it placed the photo of the camel's foot at the top of the page and that of the cameltoe (the subject of the article) well below so that the latter did not even appear without scrolling down. Being separated from the upper photo with some article text, the lower photo was presented as if it were secondary to the subject of the article. I thought that if the images were appropriately scaled and properly aligned side by side, the visual analogy might be more apparent.
• The current revision looks good to my eye (and on my browser). The photo of the camel's foot has been restored, and while it is still on top, the photo of the cameltoe has been moved up immediately below it. The order makes sense because the latter photo is so much taller than the former, and the lower third of the latter photo is not necessary for the visual analogy. Thus if, as with my browser, a portion of the lower photo is off screen, the visual analogy is still apparent. This would not be the case were the order of the photos reversed.
• I no longer feel that a rearrangement of the photos is necessary, and with the visual analogy well presented I am indifferent as to the addition of an explicit etymology in the text (although one that included the history of the term would be welcome).

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
