User talk:Iro Bosero
Add topicWikimedia Foundation Bulletin
[edit]Hello! Back in June when you edited the list of Wikimedia Foundation Bulletin subscribers, you added the username "IroBosero". Because your username has a space between "Iro" and "Bosero", you haven't been receiving the Bulletin (it goes by exact usernames). I've modified the entry to reflect your username, and you should receive the next issue here on your Meta-Wiki talk page. Sorry that we didn't catch this earlier, and you can see past issues of the Bulletin on the project page.
Also, seeing that you primarily edit the Spanish Wikipedia, if you'd like you can receive the Bulletin on your talk page on the Spanish Wikipedia. We translate each Bulletin into Spanish, and this will mean that you would receive them in Spanish (on Meta-Wiki, it'll be English). You can make this change directly on the target list, or I can do so if that'd be easier. Best regards, RAdimer-WMF (talk) 00:59, 25 October 2024 (UTC)
