[edit] Modeling-related

dear Modelwatcher

I read your input in the modeling section, interesting but i think you have never worked in this industry. Some notions are not updated and rely on an american point of view only. The concept of good reputation for an agency does not apply. Agency can be efficient and not reliable or good reputation. scandals have arisen and evry year new happen which gives to this notion a very unclear and too subjective dimension. Agencies are a fast movingmarket, the star from the past have faded when new ones have boomed. Specially in Italy, London and Paris. so let the door open to new comers which make the trend more than historical agencies. or create a historic agencies list or objectovely rank them via their billings. the association of designers does exist in france or italy or greece but they never publish any list of agencies reputable nor the organizers of fashion week. And as far as i know, having been in this business for 15 years in all major markets, there has never been in NY too. The only thing which does exist objectively is the list of model agencies participating to a national federation. it is not a guarantee but a clue. i would agree in this as being a necessary characteristics but still some big agencies decided not to particpate to local federation - so ... well let people contribute ! it s afree encyclopedia ope to the eveolutions of the world not an history book looking back to the past .... except that i saw your contributions , mostly a great job ! thank you best regards Lawrence Welcome!

    • You are correct, I have not worked directly in the industry if working directly means booking a model for a gig or entering into a contract with a designer, company or publication. However, I believed that my 7 years operating a modeling website where I get to contact, interview and do research with some of the industry's top agents and owners make me familiar and privy to what is going on. Being outside the industry provided me with a more objective point of view, hence I believed that I am not biased when it comes to editing contents.
    • If adding a new agency to the list is your main concern, then I have no problem with that, coz that agency may someday become one of the best. I only have one concern, coz the term we use now is 'top modeling agencies', so I'll just edit this to include some other agencies which I knew to have done some headways in terms of generating jobs for their models.

[edit] Accountancy

If you are interested in working in collaboration with Wikipedia members on improving the article Accountancy, you will be pleased to hear that the Accountancy task force has been set up and is seeking participants who can assist with the article's overhaul. Perhaps you would like to provide verifiable content on this subject matter, in which case your input could be invaluable. Alternatively we are also seeking participants who can help with the systematic sorting of related accountancy articles into meaningful categories, an activity that does not require undertaking research but will nonetheless help improve the quality of the article's links. Either way, the task force would like to hear from you! --Gavin Collins 12:15, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Tagalog Wikipedia

Tagalog Wikipedia Campaign March 2008!

Tagalog Wikipedia is campaigning for your participation in writing, editing, assessing and translating articles!
The purpose of this campaign is to expand and improve articles at Tagalog Wikipedia. Your participation will be highly appreciated by the community.

There are over 16,000 articles to view, read, review, edit, and expand, so please visit the Wikipedia Café and the WikiProject Philippines at Tagalog Wikipedia to help out!

The campaign includes seeking your assistance in:

Or just anything you can do to help us just like what you are doing there at the English Wikipedia.

Thank you in advance and regards, Tagalog Wikipedia Community

Finally, Wikipedia is the 7th most visited site in the Philippines. Then why is it that the Tagalog Wikipedia, the Wikipedia in your own language remains unknown to most of the Filipinos? The mission of this campaign is to change that. Will you join us?
