Dear Wikimedians of Colorado User Group,
We are inviting the Wikimedians of Colorado User Group to participate
in Wikipedia
Pages Wanting Photos 2024
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2024>, a
global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:
Eligible participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos,
then add a suitable photo from among the many thousands of photos in the
Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki
Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In the previous edition, more than 60 Wikimedia communities in 52 countries
joined the campaign. Media files were added to more than 265,000 Wikipedia
articles in more than 190 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting
and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing
pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by
user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
We also have some new changes for this year's edition to improve the
contest. For participants to be eligible for the contest they need to have
registered an account for at least a year before the official start date of
the contest. That is, for the 2024 edition, they must have registered an
account on or before July 1, 2023. The account can be from any Wikimedia
project wikis.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP
participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically
or thematically) or for a language WP. We would be glad for you to reply to
this email, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2024/Partici…>
With kind regards,
Jackson Chukwudi Dandy
Cordinator,
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign.

> Hello,
>
> WikiConference North America is excited to share that the 2024 conference will be taking place in Indianapolis, Indiana, United States! Our annual Culture Crawl will take place on October 3, followed by conference programming from October 4-6. Our theme will be "Crossroads", inspired by the Indiana state motto and also alluding to the multiple meanings of the word—as the place where Wikimedians from across the continent cross paths, as well as what we hope will be a turning point for participants.
