Lovely, thanks, Lane. Not everybody understands that, though young women are the class most assiduously flattered, old men are the ones most hungry for it, eagerly lapping it up even when it's done without a name. I am especially pleased that our friend @Annierau: has exaggerated; I actually spend most days at the computer and our bike ride was only once, and she was the one who had to wait for me to catch up. Anyway I had a lot more fun than usual and hope to do it again in warmer weather.

Jim,
Nice meeting you yesterday evening. I would like to include a photograph for the May 20th event announcement (preferably one of you, but anything you select is fine). Also, some text to include. Any info on a particular project would be good too. I will post on Meetup.com and Facebook. The text I am thinking about ...
Jim Henderson is a Wikipedian, Wikimedia Commons Photographer, and avid cyclist from Wikipedia NYC. He will present to us what Wikidata is and it impact on the world and how to contribute you photographs and other files to the service. He will show us various tools such as "shoot me" and Wikimedia Commons. His links are:

Jim Henderson (Wikipedian)
All righty; we had communication uncertainties at both ends except I don't have the excuse of working in unfamiliar software. And obviously I'm hours later than I said. Been busy all week starting with the eclipse in Rochester, and various meetings and such starting a couple hours after my return. Tomorrow's two zoomcalls will leave me with an empty week in my calendar. With any luck I'll start catching up on my backlog of new photo editing, uploading, curating old photos, checking my 5000 watchlisted articles here in ENWP (English Wikipedia), etc. The two links are good.
". . . . He will tell us what the Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons sites are about, and their impact on the 300+ Wikipedias and the rest of the world of free information. He will show how to contribute your photos and other kinds of knowledge such as words and data. He will show us tools such as the "WikiShootMe" Webpage and "Wikimedia Commons" Android app for pictures. . . ."
I've lengthened your two sentences into three, so feel free to chop away any excess. Or add; whatever. As you saw in Commons, we have plenty of pictures of me; problem is they all make me look old. Well, yeah.
For WD and photo demos, I like to use a fresh example. Presumably the building where we meet has no Wikidata item or Commons picture, and fails to meet the criteria of WP:NOTABILITY. Thus, it will work nicely if you find the data (street address, construction date, owner, business tenants, height and no, of course we don't need all of those and might use any other data) beforehand. With some of that, we can build the WD item before everyone's eyes. Or some other building or old (before 20th century) statue or monument for which we can step outside and snap a picture. I like built structures because they have locations.
As usual in talk pages, any talkpage WP:STALKER is welcome to butt in here with questions, corrections, ideas, whatever. For those people, we're talking about a meeting of a photo club near City Hall in Jersey City on May 20. At least, I think that's correct. Now I'm getting sleepy and won't search for the club's webpage.

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our Hacking Sunday at Prime Produce in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan. It is intended primarily for technical contributors, though newcomers are welcome as well! The event runs for the whole day, though you are welcome to come by for as little or as long as you'd like.
A documentary filmmaker will be in attendance, working on Rabbit Hole, which aims to document Wikipedia's community to showcase how our network tackles important questions about how history is recorded. They will be in attendance to film snippets of this gathering for the documentary. It is completely optional to be a part of the film and there will be protocols in place if you wish to not be filmed. If there are any questions about the filming please reach out to the filmmaker, Meg Vatterott (meg.vatterott@gmail.com).

Hello,
The Wikimedia Foundation is conducting a survey of Wikipedians to better understand what draws administrators to contribute to Wikipedia, and what affects administrator retention. We will use this research to improve experiences for Wikipedians, and address common problems and needs. We have identified you as a good candidate for this research, and would greatly appreciate your participation in this anonymous survey.
You do not have to be an Administrator to participate.
The survey should take around 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement .
Please find our contact on the project Meta page if you have any questions or concerns.
You are invited to Foundation and Friends' Free Culture Friday at Prime Produce on Friday, November 22. This event will feature a reception with Wikimedia Foundation staff in the afternoon, followed by a more informal salon and game night, utilizing Prime Produce's vast collection of board games. No experience of anything at all is required. All are welcome!
You are also invited to Wikicurious: Capturing the Moment, the third event of the beginner-focused Wikicurious series, at Jefferson Market Library on Tuesday, November 26, in collaboration with WikiPortraits and AfroCROWD. All are welcome to attend, especially those interested in photography or contributing to Wikimedia Commons. We will explore the art of capturing the moment through photography and learn the basics of Wikimedia Commons, and (weather-permitting) we are also planning a photo walk, so bring your camera (or use your smartphone)!

Hello,
I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.
Hello! Voting in the 2024 Arbitration Committee elections is now open until 23:59 (UTC) on Monday, 2 December 2024. All eligible users are allowed to vote. Users with alternate accounts may only vote once.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
If you wish to participate in the 2024 election, please review the candidates and submit your choices on the voting page. If you no longer wish to receive these messages, you may add {{NoACEMM}} to your user talk page.

We had a pleasant and informative meeting, didn't we? Especially since there were four of us old-timers with different experiences, habits, and opinions. Not that we covered any large fraction of the gamut of Wikkians. For example, the majority think a username should be unconnected with a real name; I'm one of the minority who think it should be connected. Perhaps some don't know, we four are:
We are pals and watch each other's Talk Page to see about their activities and problems and what Wikiparties they get invited to, so we can envy them. You should go to their page and hit the star so you can see what happens to them on your Watchlist. We have a lot more friends on our Watchlists. Pharos probably has the most of us four, because he's one of the nails that hold the ship together, somewhat. Check those activities every day or two by hitting the list-star icon near the right end of the header bar of a wikipage.
If you leave us a message, we can put you on our watchlists and see what amazing new kinds of trouble you're getting into. You don't even have to do that bit properly; if you're signed in and, after bumbling, hit the blue Publish button so we can see what went wrong and whom to help. So far, I've got one message in Simple English by
User:Librarysparkle
but don't know who that is. I have replied to it both in English and in Simple English. Better to answer here in English Wikipedia where more will see it. Now for some of the points that arose:
Che Guevara is "semi-protected" because of vandalism. Vandalism on 99.9% of articles is repaired by editors having them on our watchlist, and undoing them. However, some articles are biographies of hated people, or other hated topics, and their vandalism can overwhelm this usual method. Current and recent US Presidents, UK Prime Ministers and similar politicians are very much hated, so they end up with the highest protection. Che Guevara apparently attracts far less hatred anymore, or for whatever reason he gets the lowest level of protection.
Some of us old-timers have the power to give you the power to edit the article anyway, but we won't. Instead, we tell you to open a request in the article's Talk Page. This might work directly, which is to say a watcher will see that this is a completely reasonable change, and make it. It might also work indirectly. Remember that business about ten edits? Making the request counts as one of the ten. Replying to the reply, if any, counts as one of the ten. Editing other articles counts. Creating your own User Page counts. Improving it counts. Leaving a message in my User Talk Page counts. Replying to a message in your own User Talk Page counts. Anything you add, subtract, or change in any page while signed in, counts.
Pretty soon it adds up to ten edits and now you are automatically upgraded, and free to get into more trouble. One good trick for possibly sensitive edits is to give a few days' warning. Since you have warned any watchers by asking on the Article Talk Page, they may be ready to pounce on any misstep. Good; you are also ready. So, make the edit with an edit summary that briefly says why. If someone objects, the Article Talk Page is your tool and ally, and is likely to attract sympathetic watchers of the article including, for now, me. By this time you've got a track record of not-too-bad edits, and that also increases your credibility.
As for mentioning a book your firm has published, the publisher definitely doesn't belong in the text of the article, and probably the author and title don't. They belong in the citation, which automatically makes a footnote.
Oof, this is more than I intended, about a possible problem that probably won't really be a problem. I'm sending this, and copying it to my ENWP User Talk Page (best to reply here; this is not a matter that needs privacy) and see what's on television before going to sleep.
Oh; I almost forgot. Tomorrow, Tuesday afternoon at 4PM I'm meeting another newbie at the Brooklyn Heights Branch Library on Cadman Plaza West. We will discuss various issues but intend to concentrate on pictures. Perhaps a few of you will want to join us at the library or at 7PM at the Park Plaza Restaurant a couple blocks north of the library. We wouldn't want a crowd, but might be good with as many as half a dozen.

Did you know ... that back in 1885, Wikipedia editors wrote Good Articles with axes, hammers and chisels?
