IA Summit, Vancouver edit
Hi Fellow Wikimedians,
The 2017 Information Architecture Summit team is in Vancouver next month. We are planning a Wikipedia session on diversity and would like to invite local members of the Wikimedia Vancouver Meetup to participate. I am a member of the Wikimedia NYC chapter and am developing both informational and hands on sessions for conference participants. You would not need to have a conference ticket to attend these sessions. Please see below for information about the event and please let me know if you or any of your students or colleagues are interested in participating.

The IA Summit is an annual conference of the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T). It will be held at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver on March 22-26. We have two Wikipedia sessions planned. One on Saturday afternoon, March 25, will align with the theme of diversity in information architecture and UX design. It is tentatively scheduled for 3:30pm. We are still adjusting the schedule. We plan to invite speakers studying knowledge organization and information behavior in diverse populations. The Wikipedia Session will cover efforts by The Wikimedia Foundation to improve the creation and discovery of content about underrepresented groups. I'll be talking about Women in Red, Art+Feminism, Wiki Loves Pride and AfroCROWD and will introduce Project: Information Architecture. It would be nice if someone from Wikimedia Vancouver were available to present the results of the Women in Science event this past Fall.
On Sunday, March 26, we will host a lunch session that will be a more traditional Wikipedia editathon. This will give attendees an opportunity to learn about editing, tools that may be useful to Information architects and knowledge professionals and also be a way to make a meaningful contribution to the encyclopedia.
Student volunteers and facilitators would be welcome to attend these sessions or help out at the Wikipedia table in the exhibit hall. This is a great opportunity for community engagement at one of the premier Information Architecture conferences.
I am reaching out to people who signed up for the Women in Science event via email (if I can reach them) and talk pages. If there are others you think might be interested, please let me know. We are also still seeking brief lightning talks on diversity and discovery.

File permission problem with File:Honouring Indigenous Writers Banner.jpg edit
Thanks for uploading File:Honouring Indigenous Writers Banner.jpg, which you've attributed to Robin Mitchell Cranfield. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file has agreed to release it under the given license.
If you are the copyright holder for this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either
- make a note permitting reuse under the CC-BY-SA or another acceptable free license (see this list) at the site of the original publication; or
- Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to permissions-en@wikimedia.org, stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter here. If you take this step, add {{OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.
If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to permissions-en@wikimedia.org.
If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See Wikipedia:File copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.
If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in your upload log.
