Art+Feminism at UW (March 3 & 4)
by Amanda Menking 12 Apr '17

12 Apr '17

Hi All, Lou posted to this list previously about the Art+Feminism edit-a-thon at UW that she’s organizing. I’m posting now to ask for help! She needs a *real* Wikipedian (or 2-3) to help out on March 3 and/or March 4 [1]. The event info is available via https://wainer2.wixsite.com/artfeminismuw Any volunteers? :) ~Amanda / Mssemantics [1] I’m willing to help, but I don’t consider myself a *real* Wikipedian. -- Amanda Menking Ph.D. Candidate | iSchool, University of Washington https://ischool.uw.edu/people/phd/amenking

Re: [Wikimedia Cascadia] Geonotice and IP cap question

Hey James, I wanted to check in about the account creation status -- thanks for giving me that privledge a while back, but I am having some difficulties seeing where I can enroll folks. I went to test it at Special:CreateAccount Is this where to go? but it looks like my IP address was blocked -- despite being logged in. Something about a dog - rapper vandal-!!?? I would attach a screenshot but the file is too big. This is the message I got "Account creation error Account creation from IP addresses in the range *2607:FB90:0:0:0:0:0:0/32*, which includes your IP address (*2607:fb90:2786:be29:80b4:8d9c:c05e:eed2*), has been blocked by Graham87 <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Graham87>.

I'm at home now, I'm not sure if I will be blocked at UW today. I hope not! Can you help me and Peaceray know that we're in the right place to create accounts for new users? We'll have 45 participants today many who didn't create accounts in advance. Thanks for the last minute help!

Editing as Activism at UW-B and Wiki-Editing pamphlets/materials inquiry
by Monika Sengul-Jones 16 Feb '17

16 Feb '17

Cascadians -- Wanted to check in about participation in the UW-Bothell Editing as Activism events: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle/Editing_as_Activism Please RSVP if you can attend! There will be food and drinks both days! :) If you can only attend one day, it would be especially great to have experienced editors at the Edit-a-thon on Wednesday at the Common Grounds Cafe. Parking is easy in the South Garage. I've included all parking details on our event page. **Materials inquiry** My supply of "Editing Wikipedia" pamphlets is very low. I've got about five pamphlets. Anyone have any to share? I would love to have a few to pass out. Or ideas on where to get them quickly? Thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing (some of) you there. --Monika On Mon, Feb 13, 2017 at 6:09 PM, Kimberly Michelle Correa <kmcorrea(a)uw.edu> wrote: > Hey all, excited to see you soon! > > Here are some day of details that might make it easier for you to find us > and to park: > > The Learn to Edit Purposefully workshop will be taking place on the 2nd > floor of the Activities and Recreation Center (ARC).

Review of initial updates on Wikimedia movement strategy process
by Gregory Varnum 15 Feb '17

15 Feb '17

Note: Apologies for cross-posting and sending in English. Message is available for translation on Meta-Wiki.[1] The Wikimedia movement is beginning a movement-wide strategy discussion, a process which will run throughout 2017. For 15 years, Wikimedians have worked together to build the largest free knowledge resource in human history. During this time, we've grown from a small group of editors to a diverse network of editors, developers, affiliates, readers, donors, and partners. Today, we are more than a group of websites. We are a movement rooted in values and a powerful vision: all knowledge for all people. As a movement, we have an opportunity to decide where we go from here. This movement strategy discussion will focus on the future of our movement: where we want to go together, and what we want to achieve. We hope to design an inclusive process that makes space for everyone: editors, community leaders, affiliates, developers, readers, donors, technology platforms, institutional partners, and people we have yet to reach. There will be multiple ways to participate including on-wiki, in private spaces, and in-person meetings. You are warmly invited to join and make your voice heard. The immediate goal is to have a strategic direction by Wikimania 2017 to help frame a discussion on how we work together toward that strategic direction. Regular updates are being sent to the Wikimedia-l mailing list,[2] and posted on Meta-Wiki.[3] Beginning with this message, monthly reviews of these updates will be sent to this list as well.

Introduction & Art+Feminism Edit-a-Thon
by Lou Wainer 01 Feb '17

01 Feb '17

Dear Cascadian Wikimedians, Hi! I recently joined the group and wanted to introduce myself: my name is Luiza, I'm a library and information science grad student at the UW in Seattle. Originally from Brazil, I have a background in Art Librarianship and a particular interest in computer-supported collaboration tools (even though my Wikipedia editing skills are still very rough). I’m planning on organizing an Art+Feminism edit-a-thon at the UW in early March (the 4th or the 11th, depending on confirmation of the location). As a way to make the event salient to our community, the idea is to focus on editing entries related to Indigenous art and Indigenous women artists. I’d love to enlist your expertise in organizing the event and invite the group to be an affiliated sponsor. Please let me know if you are interested in getting involved. Any suggestions and recommendations are more than welcome! Warm regards, Lou Wainer MLIS Candidate iSchool, University of Washington wainer(a)uw.edu | (425) 219 6050
