Regrets edit

  • I have an early class again. epicgenius (talk) 16:36, 19 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • There's a debate tonight I already have plans for, sadly. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 16:12, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]
  • Can't make it tonight, have a great WikiWednesday, see you next month. I am continuing to work on a 2020 Earth Day edit-a-thon hosted by Sure We Can. The redemption center has given us the green light if we want to host an edit-a-thon there. I am looking for help putting it together, if anybody is interested please let me know. Also, if anybody knows any wikipedians who focus on recycling please let me know. --Wil540 art (talk) 23:56, 20 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Likely attendees edit

  • Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 04:19, 20 November 2019 (UTC) 04:18, 20 November 2019 (UTC) I hope the veggie pizza doesn't disappear immediately again. It sure is popular. The Hummus & Pita Company we had that one time was pretty good. I rarely champion tacos, but that place we had at the Wiknic was excellent, but probably too far away from Met Library Council.[reply]
