September 26: WikiWednesday Salon / Wikimedia NYC Annual Meeting

Wednesday September 26, 7pm: WikiWednesday Salon / Wikimedia NYC Annual Meeting
 
 

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda.

This month will also feature on our agenda, upcoming editathons, the organization's Annual Meeting, and Chapter board elections - you can add yourself as a candidate.

We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants.

We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities.

7:00pm - 9:00 pm at Babycastles gallery, 145 West 14th Street
(note the new address, a couple of doors down from the former Babycastles location)

We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 20:42, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

Nathaniel Longbotham House

Hello DanTD! I noticed you jumped in after I added an image to the page for the Nathaniel Longbotham House. I'm reaching out to you because I unfortunately made an error in my edit, which I have been trying to fix, but unsuccessfully. I had deleted the last sentence about the site being added to the National Register of Historical places. I added it back in, but now somehow I managed to lose the note connected to reference [1]. I am very sorry for this. Are you able to figure out how to restore that original piece of information? My only intention with the page was to add the address for the house, and the photo I took of it this morning. All best, Springfulutopia — Preceding unsigned comment added by Springfulutopia (talkcontribs) 14:32, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

I brought it back for you. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:35, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

That's wonderful! Thank you so much and my apologies for the unintended vandalism. I'm so happy you could restore it. Springfulutopia (talk) 14:43, 22 September 2018 (UTC)

Long Island historic sites

Hi, could you possibly please visit and speak up at User talk:CaptJayRuffins? I believe they're doing good stuff, and I would like to help them, but I am myself frustrated that NYS NRHP docs seem unavailable. I'd like to help them develop a good list-article or two, to complement or substitute for separate small articles, is one of my impulses. Any which way they can just use some support probably. --Doncram (talk) 19:07, 24 September 2018 (UTC)
