Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2024: congratulation and certificate
[edit]
Dear Ashlar,
Thank you very much for taking part in Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2024. We are always welcoming new participants in our annual campaign on writing about Ukrainian culture and people as it helps to constantly broaden the horizons of our contest. Did you know that this year we have recorded contributions in a record-breaking 66 language editions? It was certainly not possible without you!
As promised, we would be happy to award you with a certificate of participation. Please make sure that you have enabled email function, I will reach out to you soon.
Detailed results will be shortly published on our landing page and top-30 contributors will receive prizes, so stay tuned for that.
Stay safe, we appreciate you being the Wikipedian that you are

Newspapers.com access is being restored
[edit]You are receiving this message because our records indicate that you used Newspapers.com via The Wikipedia Library in the past year. Newspapers.com has been affected by a number of technical issues over that time period, which most recently caused it not to work at all. If you aren't already familiar, further details can be found at T322916.
We're pleased to share that we have found a solution which will restore access to Newspapers.com's content! Newspapers.com have agreed to move back to our old method of granting access, whereby users must first register at Newspapers.com, then apply via The Wikipedia Library, and then accounts are upgraded to a subscribing one by Newspapers.com. We have updated Newspapers.com to accept applications in the library, so you can apply now!
This change is unfortunately mutually exclusive with the limited proxy-based access working, so any of the technical workarounds that have been discussed should no longer work, along with any proxy-based access to Newspapers.com. I hope you agree that this brief bump will be worth it in the long run.
As a reminder, this change means that you will need to renew your access on a yearly basis. If you have an email configured in The Wikipedia Library you should receive an email a few weeks before this expiry to remind you to submit an extension request, but brief yearly loss of access may be a side effect of this access method. The good news is that this access method means that you shouldn't encounter any technical problems besides normal operational problems on Newspapers.com's end, which should be few and resolved quickly - otherwise the website should work just as if you were a normal customer.
If you have any questions please ask them at this Meta announcement. MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:39, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
