We could also use a video to run during setup and for early arrivals.

Andrew Lih et al use this reel of videos at the beginning of an event: https://vimeo.com/191543645 .  It's slightly out of date now, perhaps it would be useful to add the 2016 video at the beginning.

Cheers,

Amanda

I just updated the page with a bunch of lightning talks I can offer and a tools demonstration.

I'm also happy to teach my somewhat-famous Gentle Introduction to Wikidata For Absolute Beginners, but I do need at least 2 hours for that, and ideally 3.  Let me know if there's interest.

I can run an edit-a-thon group! I have a list of articles at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dreamyshade/In_the_news_articles (topics recently in the news that are marked with needs-improvement tags) that I'd be happy to work with people on editing, including helping newcomers get started. I can move that list to a sub-page of that meetup page if that sounds good.

How do you plan to gather the photos for the Wikimedia Commons exhibit? I'd encourage featuring some from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_San_Francisco_Designated_Landmarks and promoting the idea of filling in the blank photo spots on that list, along with the blank spots in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Historical_Landmarks_in_San_Francisco and the other lists linked from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Landmarks_and_Historic_Places_in_San_Francisco

Hi, y'all. All hands on deck! Bay Area WikiSalon is hosting a Wikipedia Day 16 in SF on January 15, and we could use some planning help in making it more interesting, fun, and useful. Please add your ideas to the event page - it's a wiki!

We would also like to run an edit-a-thon in the corner of the lounge during the party. Anybody up for coordinating that?

Please edit our event page directly so we can start advertising right away! We could also use a video to run during setup and for early arrivals. Got any ideas? Also, please start thinking about ways of promoting this. Thanks!
