Hi all,
We are very excited about our first East Bay WikiCafé! We will be meeting on May 23rd, 2-5pm, near Bart 12th street Oakland city center Bart. Please [register here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Bay_Area_Meetup_Oakland_May_2026) so we can prepare. You can also make it a trip to the [MADE museum of video games](https://www.themade.org/) and various other landmarks.
This is hosted by Dreamyshade. Many of you have asked for events outside of San Francisco. If you would like to host a small wikicafé in your location, please email us at bayareawikipedians(a)proton.me! We will take care of logistics such as communication and events registration and help you make a plan.

Hi all!
A quick reminder our monthly WikiSalon takes place this Thursday April 9th at 6.30pm at The Fold. (3359 26th St). [Please register](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Event:Bay_Area_Meetup_April_2026) so we have an accurate headcount for food!
Alongside pizza, cake, and good company, we will have two lightning talks:
- Taking Pictures for the Commons, highlighting the work of volunteer photographers;
- Local Pages: a dedicated search engine for the Bay Area, presenting a tool to support our work in creating and maintaining local pages.
Feel free also to take the mic for up to 5 minutes to share what you have been nerding about and working on this month.
At our [March WikiSalon](https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1JpBX6XDR-bD4ymvcqwzp4PLK…, we heard from Pi.1415926535 about Commons Categories, which led DynamicWebPaige to make [a tool helping to add categories to orphan pictures](https://bit.ly/wikicommons-category-suggester). Dreamyshade shared her notes about improving reliability, and great discussions were had.
See you Thursday!
Your Organizing Committee
