Hi Connor & all,
I plan to attend the planning committee meeting on August 15 at 10am in the
basement of Allen Library North at UW Libraries, in Special Collections.
I plan to help at the Labor-themed edit-a-thon, tentatively for Saturday
November 2, 2019. Please keep in mind if you need to reschedule that
Wikiconference
North America <https://wikiconference.org/wiki/2019/Main_Page> will take
place November 8-11 in Boston, & that several Cascadian Wikimedians will
attend that.
I have the Event Coordinator privileges that Su-Laine mentioned, & I can
help publicize that on-wiki & via Facebook. We can also announce it at our
Wiknic (probably August 23rd or 24th) & subsequent meetups when they resume
in September.
Yours,
Peaceray

You can do that with the “Event Coordinator” rights. You can apply here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Requests_for_permissions/Event_coor…
or ask any admin to give you the rights.
One thing you can do with Event Coordinator rights is give other uses
“Confirmed” status. At the beginning of an edit-a-thon I pass around a
sign-up sheet and have everyone write down their username, then when I have
time I make them all Confirmed. That makes things go more smoothly for them.
Cheers,
Su-Laine

There is a fair chance I can attend that planning meeting, if you can
give me
precise info on location. (Hard to say for sure, because my work
has been up-and-down lately.)
Peaceray, I've never taken the lead on an Edit-a-Thon. I know there is
some
means you have to set up more accounts at one time from one IP address
than would normally be allowed; can we make sure that someone with that
ability will be there Nov 2 so I don't have to focus on that aspect? Other
than that, I'm sure I can handle this.

There will be an emphasis on The Seattle General Strike, Centralia Tragedy
of 1919 and related entries because 2019 is the centennial of these events.

planning meeting or vice versa?
