a survey; I'll send the link to everyone soon.

Hi all,

editor training and a Purple Playlist featuring lots of b-sides.
RSVP here:

In honor of Black History Month, come to MIT's Digital Instruction Resource
Classroom and learn to edit Wikipedia in order to augment Prince-related
content in the encyclopedia. All are welcome, new and returning editors
alike.
Questions, let me or Amy (cc'd) know.

Hey Wikipedia BOS!
Question for you - would you ever want to have a forum?
I've been thinking about this as YC has a forum which I LOVE because I can
see peoples' bios and search past messages.
If something y'all want, happy to toss something up over a weekend!
Would love to hear your thoughts (direct reply me so we don't spam <3 )
Really appreciate it!
Luke
Dear ones,
English WP is 50 articles away from 6 million! Somewhere someone's
watching article-creation timestamps and will record which the 6 millionth
was and generate a press release about it.
If you have a draft in progress, consider posting it now (or within the
hour) for a chance to get it some extra publicity and a line in the history
books :)
Wiki'd,
SJ
