We will also follow up on plans for recent (UN Women and CFR!) and upcoming edit-a-thons, and other outreach activities. We also hope for the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming editathons, and other outreach activities. Along with the main meeting, hummus and refreshments and video games in the gallery!

Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Unused images

I noticed your edits to Wikipedia:WikiProject National Register of Historic Places/Unused images. If pictures are noted there wrongly it is usually due to wrong IDs at commons or multiple entries in the list with the same id where one still needs a picture. On the next round the bot will throw them back up. Deleting entries that you just placed will benefit other editors working from the same list to save on duplicating work, but there is no strict need either. Agathoclea (talk) 15:49, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Well, I personally haven't added any of those entries, but I have found the locations. Actually, there are some that I added a while back, and they were returned a few times, like this one. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 17:35, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Ok, that explains it. The bot is only looking for usage at listings like National Register of Historic Places listings in Hanover County, Virginia not at any other articles. It should disappear from the "unused" list with the next update now that I have added it there. Agathoclea (talk) 18:58, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Powder Mills

Are you referring to Georgia_State_Route_6#Powder_Springs_business_loop? I have edited in Cobb County, but don't recall the specific material you mention. Powder Springs, Georgia sounds definitely familiar. Student7 (talk) 19:30, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Sort of. The section I filled in was inspired by this edit you made. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:32, 24 September 2016 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for September 27

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Disambiguation link notification for October 4

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited U.S. Route 278 in Georgia, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Southern Railway. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

NRHPs in NY that need pictures

Hi! I saw your list at User:DanTD/NRHPs in NY pix needed. There is an upcoming event, the Open House New York photo challenge, that will take place the weekend of October 15. There will be tons of new photos coming in Commons, so you might want to keep a look out! I'm having trouble cross-referencing your list with the OHNY's, but anyway, I'm going to keep it in mind as I comb the city. The category on Commons should be commons:Category:Open House New York Weekend 2016, and will be further categorized by location. Thought I'd let you know! Cheers — MusikAnimal ^talk 17:54, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I can't make it. But I do plan to add and subtract some sites, since a lot of others have pics now. I'll keep an eye on the Open House commons cat either way (although Hurricane Matthew might put a kink in my current plans).---------User:DanTD (talk) 21:53, 5 October 2016 (UTC)

Victor Moore again

Hello DanTD,

This photo is labelled "...at the 74th Street Bus Terminal...", but the Victor Moore Terminal has through lanes, and the one in the photo doesn't look as such. Is it any old version of the terminal or another terminal on the same street? Vcohen (talk) 14:22, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

I see that going out to the street. Looks like the same place to me. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:36, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

I see a wall in front of the bus. I it's only me, I will upload it. Vcohen (talk) 16:29, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

That "wall" is the buildings across the street. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 16:33, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

 Done. Vcohen (talk) 16:38, 8 October 2016 (UTC)

Saturday October 22, 10am: WikiArte Latin American Edit-a-thon @ MoMA

Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the Museum of Modern Art (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists. The WikiArte (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia.

The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to Art+Feminism. All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.

Ardsley-on-Hudson (Metro-North station)

You questioned this station's appearance in the film 'Falling in Love'. You're right that Dobbs Ferry station features more prominently, but the film opens here. In the first shot, the camera tracks from a New York skyline to reveal this station - its cupola is distinctive. Meryl Streep's character is then introduced as she walks onto the riverside platform.

Thanks for the tip. I'll check it out. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 13:35, 23 October 2016 (UTC)
