Hi everybody, There’s a workshop on describing images bulk-uploaded from Flickr to Wikidata tomorrow. This might be very specifically relevant only to my interests, but I thought I’d pass it along in case anybody is interested.

Wikipedia-themed trivia/comedy show in Denver last Sunday
by Gaurav Vaidya 25 Oct '23

25 Oct '23

Sorry, everybody — the following e-mail was sent to the Wikimedia-US-CO mailing list last Saturday, but I’ve been on vacation and didn’t see it until just now. I’ve added Annie to the non-member moderation list, so any future e-mails she sends us should go through without moderation. This is probably a good opportunity to ask if anybody would like to become a moderator or administrator for the wikimedia-us-co(a)lists.wikimedia.org <mailto:wikimedia-us-co@lists.wikimedia.org> mailing list? We get some spam every week, so moderating non-members is necessary, but hopefully with more moderators missing urgent messages like this one will happen less frequently. Cheers, Gaurav > From: Annie Rauwerda <annierau(a)umich.edu> > Subject: Wikipedia-themed comedy show tomorrow in Denver! > Date: October 21, 2023 at 11:51:36 PM MDT > To: wikimedia-us-co(a)lists.wikimedia.org > > > Hey everyone, > > I have a Wikipedia-themed trivia/comedy show tomorrow at Cervates Masterpiece Ballroom in Denver! If any of you want to come, I can put you on the list to come for free!
