Dear all, we are very pleased to announce our first editathon Wikipedia ama
el cine (Wikipedia Loves Cinema), an editathon focused in improve articles
related to Cinema of Mexico in Spanish Wikipedia. Of course all the support
from the whole Wikimedia community to write about the theme will be very
welcome!
https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Encuentros/Editat%C3%B3n_Wikipedia_…
This is the first activity as a party of a new agreement with Cineteca
Nacional, the main film archive of our country.
Best,

As a reminder, on Wednesday, 11 February 2015 at 12:00 (noon) PST (20:00
UTC)[0] there will be the first of a weekly series of open triage meetings
about VisualEditor.
We will discuss the release criteria for VisualEditor, and jointly
prioritise the work of the team, talking about the bugs and features which
are most important to you. We particularly welcome the presence of
volunteers who enjoy contributing MediaWiki code.
The joining instructions are available on MediaWiki.org[1]. Hope to see
many of you there.

Thanks to everyone who responded so generously to our call for great wiki content about love!
Your overnight suggestions from all channels are now posted on this ‘Love on the Wikis' page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Love_on_the_wikis
Our community-created love collection is coming along very nicely, thanks to all your diverse contributions. :)
We now invite you to add your +1’s for suggestions you think are the most insightful, for sharing with a wide audience.
And we could still use a few more articles, quotes, sounds and videos, if you know of any good ones.
We welcome your suggestions until Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015 at midnight PST. On Thursday, we will prepare a post with our top picks — and publish it on the Wikimedia Blog and on social media, next Friday, Feb. 13 -- just in time for Valentine’s day.
Thanks to all of you who are participating in this little content experiment. Together, we may find new ways to curate and share information on specific themes, combining the wikis, our blog and social media.
Onward!
Fabrice

Hello friends of Wikipedia!
What is your favorite wiki article or image about love?
For Valentine's Day, we are asking Wikipedians to help create a special story about "Love on the Wikis" for the Wikimedia Blog.
We are looking for illuminating wiki pages, pictures, videos or sounds about love -- from platonic to fraternal or romantic.
Please add your suggestions on this special page:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Love_on_the_wikis
Be sure to include a sentence or two about why you picked it.
We'll post some of the top picks on the Wikimedia Blog and on our social media channels next Friday, just in time for Valentine's Day. :)
Learn more here:
http://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/02/06/wiki-articles-about-love/
Thanks for sharing the love!
