Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon (Nov 19) and global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month (Nov 1-30)
| Sunday November 19, 10:30 am - 4:00pm: Metropolitan Museum of Art Edit-a-thon | |
|---|---|
  The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be the Metropolitan Museum of Art's second edit-a-thon, hosted on Sunday November 19, 2017 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City. Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.
Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided. We also welcome remote participation for the global online Wikipedia Asian Art Month, running November 1-30. Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!--Pharos (talk) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC) | |

Yesterday and today I found many more pieces of information to add to this article, with references, but before I do that I decided to restructure and rewrite the page. I would be interested to hear feedback from you, and it would be appreciated if, when you have a chance, you can help out. Thanks, and stay well. --Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 18:33, 24 November 2017 (UTC)

- Thanks. I am planning to add a section on the Lefferts Avenue Bridge, and I will mention a test from the 1960s that had turnstiles used at this station and Forest Hills.--Kew Gardens 613 (talk) 13:53, 26 November 2017 (UTC)
- Oh, the Lefferts Avenue Bridge is the big feature there. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:19, 26 November 2017 (UTC)

Since you're a Long Island guy, I thought you might enjoy this. I was flying from Philadelphia to Burlington and had a window seat. Dicklyon (talk) 06:01, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

Hello, DanTD.
I recently sent you an invitation to join NPP, but you also might be the right candidate for another related project, AfC, which is also extremely backlogged. |
