Sunday July 9: WikNYC Picnic @ Governors Island
| Sunday July 9, 1-6pm: WikNYC Picnic | |
|---|---|
  You are invited to join us the "picnic anyone can edit" on New York City's green and historic Governors Island, as part of the Great American Wiknic celebrations being held across the USA. Remember it's a wiki-picnic, which means potluck.
We hope to see you there! --Pharos (talk) 11:02, 6 July 2017 (UTC) | |

LI bus link template
Hello, you may remember this conversation about the Template:LI bus link. You referenced potentially incorporating Long Beach, Glen Cove, and Patchogue in the template. I agree with adding Long Beach and Glen Cove, although they don't have numbered routes, but I can't find much on the bus service that Patchogue runs. Do you have any sources about that? Thanks. RES2773 (talk) 15:31, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- Also, Huntington should probably be included as well. RES2773 (talk) 15:46, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- All I've got at this point is this schedule. I hope they didn't get rid of them. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 18:37, 8 July 2017 (UTC)
- I emailed Patchogue village and they said there hasn't been a bus in six years. Makes sense... RES2773 (talk) 13:09, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Well, that's sad. But at least we know what the routes were from the old version of their website. I just wish we could find the same info on Port Jefferson. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 19:46, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- If you'd like I can email them and see if there is an old copy somewhere. Should I? RES2773 (talk) 23:20, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- Well, since we've already got the routes for Patchogue, go try Port Jeff. They may have had only one route, but it was still there. I know they had buses at least as recently as the 1990's. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 12:26, 27 July 2017 (UTC)

User page suggestions
Hello. I've admired the amount of content you have attributed to Wikipedia, and your user page is really nice. I was wondering if you would care to give me any suggestions for my user page? I always want to expand my page but I'm not sure which direction I should take. Moodygamer (talk) 17:49, 15 July 2017 (EST)
- Right now I can't do much. My PC has been down for the past week, and I'm currently using a computer from a semi-local library. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:57, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel
| Sunday July 30: Action=History Wiki-Hackathon @ Ace Hotel | |
|---|---|
 On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop Wikidata, building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 14:21, 24 July 2017 (UTC) | |

Using talk pages
I removed your comment here. Article talk pages are not a forum for general discussion of the topic. Please discuss article content based on reliable sources per WP:RS and WP:MEDRS, and the policies and guidelines. Thanks. Jytdog (talk) 00:46, 20 August 2017 (UTC)
- Gee, that's funny. I thought article talk pages were the best places for general discussions on topics. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 12:39, 20 August 2017 (UTC)

Porsche 907
Hello DanT,
I am helping with some research on the cooling vests created by NASA for Porsche 907 race car drivers in the late 1960s. I saw that you made some edits to the Porsche 907 page and I was hoping you may be able to point me in a direction to get information about that subject. Would you be able to help me find more information about this?
I appreciate any assistance you can give me.
Thank you,
