Folk dances workshop, today and tomorrow evening
by Léa Lacroix 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hello, all Wikimania attendees! I hope you're enjoying your first day of conference :) Tonight and tomorrow, among the other social events, I'm running a folk dances workshop. Don't be scared, it's open to everyone, very funny and a good way to relax after a long day sitting on a chair! You will hear a short performance of folk songs from *Bretagne* <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittany>, learn some simple dances involving moving your small fingers and jumping on your feet, and make new friends around. If you want to try the dances or just listen to the music, join us at one of the two sessions: * Friday 11.08 and Saturday 12.08 * *from 9pm to 10pm* * in the room *Drummond West* (*3rd floor*, at the end of the corridor after the posters) Can't wait to meet you there *\o/* Léa @Auregann

Transport to the airport
by Katie Chan 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

I don't see any information on how to get to the airport from the hotel/dorms on the wiki, only the other way round. Can somenoe point out where it is, or give some info on how/where to get tickets, what payment methods are accepted, where the stop is etc.?

Traditional costume party during Wikimania
by Subhashish Panigrahi 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hello everyone, Is there any traditional/ethnic costume party or that kind of gathering that is being planned already or people might be interested to join for? It would be fun to showcase the diversity of the Wikimedia community? To add some fun Wikimedian A can write/print the name of their costume (preferably English Wikipedia entry) about the costume they would come wearing, and find a buddy (B) who speaks a different language than theirs. B can then create an entry on Wikipedia/Wikidata or expand the entry if already existing, or even record how it is pronounced. People can also gift their buddies small keepsakes. This is still an idea_in_brewing_state. Would love to hear more thoughts. Subhashish

What sections to be included in what articles
by Leila Zia 13 Aug '17

13 Aug '17

Hi all, We need your help! :) We are developing a recommendation system that can help newcomers (or more experienced editors who are interested) receive recommendations about what sections to add to an already existing article in Wikipedia. As part of this research, we need labels from editors on whether a section recommended for an article on English Wikipedia is a good section or not. (The research is not limited to enwiki, this step of the test is.) You can come with your laptop to the Hackathon room (Salon 7) at 17:00 (break time) to chat about this research and do the labeling in person, or you can just do it on your own using the following link (The link will take you to our test and labeling environment, set up quickly to collect some labels. Please know that once you click on the link, a cookie will be set in your browser that will help us count how many different contributors we had): http://40.118.110.204/ As always, questions and comments are welcome, ideally in person, now that we are all in one place. :) Best, Leila -- Leila Zia Senior Research Scientist Wikimedia Foundation
