You are invited to the National Archives ExtravaSCANza, taking place every day next week from January 4–7, Wednesday to Saturday, in College Park, Maryland (Washington, DC metro area). Come help me cap off my stint as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Archives with one last success!
This will be a casual working event in which Wikipedians are getting together to scan interesting documents at the National Archives related to a different theme each day—currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions1 as possible can come. Please join us! Dominic·t 01:04, 30 December 2011 (UTC) 1 Wikipedians from DC, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Newark, New York City, and Pittsburgh have been invited. |

I was just wondering how the NARA project was going. It didn't seem like too many folks signed up for it but I knoiw thats not always an accurate sign. Sorry I wasn't able to make it. --Kumioko (talk) 16:50, 6 January 2012 (UTC)
I need help. Please read the history of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture up until the point is renamed. Then read: About the Countee Cullen Library and then read History (of the Schomburg Center). What they are saying is the papers that were on the 3rd floor of the 103 west 135th street building in 1942 was the first "schomburg center" and it just happened to be in 103 west 135th but the rest of 103 west 135th was the Countee Cullen Library. But when an official Schomburg Center was built they moved the papers there and since the papers were there; it was the Schomburg papers. Then when a hallway was built from the new Schomburg Center to 103 west 135th, the 103 west 135th building became part of the new Schomburg Center.
Confused yet? I sure am and I have been editing the article for 3 months
But there is no Countee Cullen Library article on wikipedia so I can not transfer everything from 1905-1942 in the article over to it. 66.234.33.8 (talk) 21:41, 10 January 2012 (UTC)

Can you please check the Countdown section of the main page for Assamese language. It is showing error "Expression error: Unrecognised punctuation character "�"." This may be due to the different number script we use. I checked it with roman script here. It's working fine. Due to the same problem, we use Roman numbers in Assamese Wikipedia. Please change the countdown timer. --Simbu123 (talk) 20:49, 4 February 2012 (UTC)
Dear Aude,
My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.
So a few things about the interviews:
Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.
If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.
Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.
Sincerely,
Happy Valentine's Day | |
Only the best for one of Wikipedia's best!
(Feel free to send this to your other Valentines) |
Thank you!!!! :) So kind and best wishes to you! We missed you at GLAM camp. --Aude (talk) 04:42, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Who should come? You should. Really. | |

Thanks for the invite but I am going to respectfully decline. I currently don't feel the same about Wikipedia that I once did and frankly I doubt my presence at this point would be very helpful or encouraging to others. Have a great time though. 71.163.243.232 (talk) 17:37, 8 March 2012 (UTC) (Formerly Kumioko)

Ta muchly for the correction. I was merely going off of a tip given to me by Sumana; I probably misunderstood. But as you say, we can just keep it over, no problem. - Jarry1250 [Deliberation needed] 18:09, 9 April 2012 (UTC)
Hi Aude! I emailed James Hare (using his gmail email address) some time ago (per the instruction on "seeking the volunteers" page), and haven't heard back from him. So I basically given up on him. My big question is: Is there any area that I can volunteer to do in Wikimania? I also know the deadline is approaching, and I'm wondering whether I'm a "sufficiently" Wikipedian to qualify for the discount. And I'm wondering whether I would benefit from attending the Wikimania. You know who I am ;-) Thanks! --TheBlueWizard (talk) 02:40, 11 April 2012 (UTC)

Greetings, WikiProject US National Archives member!
We are seeking a coordinator to help reboot the project and work on new initiatives! The role is modeled after other Wikiproject coordinators, like the WikiProject Military History coordinators. The coordinator will work with the Wikipedian in Residence to organize and increase participation in the WikiProject, with the goal that the WikiProject is an active space for collaboration maintained by and for the Wikipedia editors, rather than the National Archives.
Please see the full information at Wikipedia:GLAM/NARA/Coordinator and contact me is you have any questions. Feel free to pass this note along to any interested parties. Thanks! Dominic·t 21:00, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
You registered your interest for GLAM-WIKI 2012 a while ago - this is to let you know that registration, and the call for papers, are now open. Hope to see you there! Andrew Gray (talk) 22:36, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hello from the Help Project, and welcome to the second issue of our newsletter! The biggest project I've been working on this month has been a large survey of users to find out what they think of our current help pages. Preliminary results from this are now available, although there are more responses trickling in from the lower edit count groups since a batch of email invitations were recently sent out. Finalised results and further analysis should be posted next week. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter.

Katie,
Just a short note to say thank you for all of your hard work organizing Wikimania 2012 and establishing Wikimedia DC. Without you, I don't believe either would have ever happened. You were instrumental in making both the conference and the chapter a success and those in the D.C. community have reaped the rewards.
You've been a true force in turning Wikimedia DC from an idea into reality. It's no easy task to deal with Wikimedians and the work you've quietly and steadfastly done has simply been outstanding. Thank you for all of your help and I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Germany! --MZMcBride (talk) 06:03, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The Help Project Newsletter Issue III - August 2012 | |
|
Welcome to the (slightly delayed) third issue of the Help Project newsletter. The past month has once again been a busy one for my fellowship. The full results and conclusions from the extensive user survey on help pages are now available, and make interesting reading. These do confirm a number of our suspicions about Wikipedia help, and suggest that the current plan for the remainder of the fellowship is a sound approach. Also last month I was fortunate enough to attend Wikimania 2012 in Washington DC, where I gave a presentation about help pages and the aforementioned survey results. You can find the slides from this on Commons. Wikimania was also a great opportunity for many discussions with staff and community members, and these brought up some interesting ideas which I hope to follow up on. One of the things much discussed was the planned tutorial pages. I've been working on a new design for them which can be seen at User:The wub/sandbox/1, please let me know what you think (especially if you spot any bugs!). Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |

Thanks for the response, but this isn't really what I meant. Unlike last night, I now realise that this is a page for a meetup with photo goals, not simply a single-person-taking-many-photos project. I've been taking tons of photos in Bloomington, and for this city of 40000 permanent residents, I've uploaded photos of approximately 1700 different buildings; there's not much incentive for Bob or Lori to take the time for just a few buildings that I missed before.

The Help Project Newsletter Issue IV - September 2012 | |
|
Hi, and welcome to the fourth issue of the Help Project newsletter. It's been another busy month in the world of Wikipedia help. The results from the in-person usability tests conducted as part of the help pages fellowship have been released. There are no great surprises here, the tests confirmed that people have trouble with the existing help system, and people looking for help on the same topic often end up at wildly different pages. Editors who experienced a tutorial and/or edited a sandbox as part of their learning were noticeably more confident when editing a real article. Drawing on that, three new "Introduction to" tutorials for new users have been created: referencing, uploading images and navigating Wikipedia. These join the popular existing introductions to policies and guidelines and talk pages. Feel free to edit them, but please do remember that the idea is to keep them simple and as free from extraneous details as possible. All three have been added to Help:Getting started, which is intended to be the new focal point for new editors, and will also be seeing a redesign soon. In other news, the Article Feedback Tool (AFT) can now be used to collect feedback on help pages. By default it has been deployed to all pages in the Help: namespace. It can be disabled on any page by adding Category:Article Feedback Blacklist, or enabled for pages in other namespaces by adding Category:Article Feedback 5 Additional Articles. Once a page has AFT applied, you can add feedback using the form which appears at the bottom of it. Feedback can be reviewed by clicking "View feedback" in the sidebar, or the "Feedback from my watched pages" link at the top of your watchlist. I'm now entering the final month of my fellowship, and will be focusing my efforts on making much needed improvements to Help:Contents, the main entrance point to our help system. It's been a pleasure working as a fellow, and I just want to thank all the people who have helped me or offered advice over the past months. That definitely won't be the end of my involvement in the Help Project though, I'll be sticking around as a volunteer and continuing to write this newsletter. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |

December 10 is Ada Lovelace's birthday! Not only was she the world's first computer programmer, but also the world's first female open source developer! Come celebrate with Wikimedia District of Columbia at Busboys & Poets for an informal get together!
The Washington, DC event will be held on Monday, December 10, 2012 at Busboys & Poets on 5th St NW & K St NW near Mt Vernon Square. The area is easily accessible by the Red Line Chinatown stop and the Yellow Line and Green Line Mt Vernon Square stop, as well as by WMATA buses.
Please join Wikimedia DC and four other local media nonprofits—the National Press Club's Young Members Committee, 100Reporters, IRE and the Fund for Investigative Journalism—in winding down another year with a night of well-mannered frivolity.
The festivities will take place on Friday evening from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM in the Zenger Room on the 13th Floor of the National Press Club, located on 529 14th Street NW, near Metro Center. There will be meat and vegetarian appetizers as well as a cash bar with specially reduced drink prices all night long. In addition, we will be exhibiting the finalists of the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest at the event.
Hope to see you there! Kirill [talk] 04:37, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Best wishes for the New Year! | ||
Here's wishing you and yours a joyous, healthful, and productive 2013! Please accept a belated thank you for the well wishes upon my retirement as FAC delegate this year, and apologies for the false alarm of my first—and hopefully last—retirement; the well wishes extended me were most kind, but I decided to return, re-committed, when another blocked sock was revealed as one of the factors aggravating the FA pages this year. Maintaining standards in featured content requires vigilance, dedication and knowledge of people like you, who are needed; reviews are always welcome at FAC, FAR and TFA requests. Somehow, somehow we never ever seem to do nothin' completely nice and easy, but here's hoping that 2013 will see a peaceful road ahead and a return to the quality and comaraderie that defines the FA process, thanks to many dedicated Wikipedians!

The Help Project Newsletter Issue V - January 2013 | |
|
Hello again from the Help Project! In the last newsletter (which was quite a while ago sorry!) I talked about my fellowship and the plans for improving the main portal page, Help:Contents. Well I'm sad to say that my fellowship is now over, but very happy to say that the proposed improvements to that page have been completed and implemented. Do check it out if you haven't already. Another important and frequently used help page, Wikipedia:Contact us, has also seen a significant revamp. You may recognise the design inspiration from the new tutorial pages. In project news, we now have a subscription to the "article alerts" service. Any deletion nominations, move discussions, or requests for comments on pages within the Help Project's scope will now show up at Wikipedia:Help Project/Article alerts. So that's definitely a page which project members might want to watch. Any comments or suggestions for future issues are welcome at Wikipedia:Help Project/Newsletter. If you don't wish to receive this newsletter on your talk page in future then just edit the participants page and add "no newsletter" next to your name. |

Could I have 2 mins of your time? As I’ll be working on some other projects for Wikimedia Germany as well from now on the time I can spend on Wikidata will be reduced. This means I’ll have to figure out what is useful to spend time on. If you’re reading this could you let me know for example on this discussion page? Also if you have ideas how to improve the weekly summaries please post them. --Lydia Pintscher (WMDE) (talk)
Based on feedback for last week’s call for comments we will continue this newsletter. However more community help will be needed. From now on they’ll be drafted at d:Wikidata:Status updates/Next and your help is very welcome.

Open Help Conference The Open Help Conference will be taking place June 15-19 in Cincinnati Ohio, USA. The conference includes two days of presentations and open discussions, followed by team "sprints" - collaborative efforts to write and improve documentation. It has been suggested to send a team from Wikipedia/Wikimedia: to share our own knowledge about help, learn from others in the open source community working on similar problems, and to carry out a sprint to improve some aspect of Wikipedia's help. There may be support available for volunteers to attend from the Participation Support program (and your editor is certainly hoping to be there!) Please join the discussion in Meta's IdeaLab if you're interested, and/or have suggestions about what we could work on. |
