Thanks folks! I'm back from a trip and catching up. I'm CCing the Colorado user group email list.
I've added the event to our local events page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder
It might make sense to make a wikipedia page for the event also, like we've done in the past. See e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Colorado/Wiknic/2016
On wikipedia, my username is "nealmcb" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Nealmcb). If you all share yours (or we make and sign up on a Wikipedia page) it will be easier to coordinate things on wikipedia itself.
I also posted it to our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipedia.boulder/permalink/1080892208681814...
I suggest advertising widely. Having room for 35 sounds great.
I'm pretty open for a planning meeting this week also.
I also found this Boulder Art + Feminism event also, from March 8th:
http://events.colorado.edu/EventList.aspx?fromdate=2/27/2017&todate=3/12...
Did anyone go to that?
It lists Contact Information: Name: Jessica Brunecky Email: jessica.brunecky@colorado.edu so she'd be a good one to touch base with!
Finally, there is some organizing info at:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:How_to_run_an_edit-a-thon
note in particular:
Within a 24-hour period, only six Wikipedia accounts can be created via single IP address. If there's a chance you'll have more than six new editors at your edit-a-thon, you'll want to have a plan for how they'll create accounts.
They have tips for handling that, and also for advertising the event on wikipedia, e.g. via the geographic software notices.
Cheers,

Thanks, Isarra! We would love to have you with us at Sanitas. I'm around next week, too, and I'd love to meet up. My schedule is pretty flexible. What works for you? Anyone else is welcome to join, as well!

Hi Isarra! Yes, this is in reference to the event at Sanitas. We are new to editing ourselves. We don't have a ton of people signed up at the point, but we are ramping up our promo efforts now. Kassondra works for SNEWS and I work for Mountain Project, so we are using those platforms to spread the word. We would so love to have you! Thank you for offering!

Are enough people signing up as-is, or should we be helping? I'm probably not the most knowledgeable about how to actually edit well, being more a developer than an editor myself, but the event certainly looks interesting and I'd love to come get in the way. I mean, help. So if anyone else is interested in meeting up next week, I should be around too, so just let me know. -I On 14/03/17 03:43, Kassondra Cloos wrote: Hi everyone, We're coming up on the event Abby and I are hosting at the end of the month, and I want to circle back on all of this for some additional advice. Abby and I had a great talk with Jackie about the editing event she hosted in New York. She had some really useful insight for us on on the intricacies of writing and editing on Wikipedia, and we realized there is a lot we don't know. For example, we were both thinking we could give people a list of women who need pages, and send them off to start researching them, but Jackie mentioned that those articles could get deleted by more senior editors if they're written by folks just starting out. We want to make sure we're setting people up with the knowledge and tools they need to build up their experience and become lifelong editors who will regularly add citations, and, hopefully, some day write well-researched entries on important women as they see needs.

If so, we'd love to meet up with one (or all!) of you to learn how we can be a useful resource for the folks attending our event in two weeks. Abby is out of town right now, but I believe she's coming back next week. My schedule is completely open then, and I'm also available this weekend if that works best for anyone. We'd love a bit of a primer on how to get started as editors, and a run-through of the system so that we can give accurate advice during our event. Also, if any of you are interested in joining us at Sanitas for our "Outdoor Women of Wikipedia" event, we'd love to have you all! Jackie mentioned that Erika was an incredible--and necessary--resource for her event, and we will certainly take all the help and expertise we can get.

Yeah, we could totally meet for coffee or whatever somewhere on Broadway or Pearl street during the week, if that sounds good. I'm free pretty much any day but tuesday.
I've also CCed Todd Allen, as he's a much more active user with content, and Wikipedia specifically, than I am, so if he'd have time to read back on this and join in, maybe he'd also be able to help? Or if anyone else would care to weigh in, please do - I will do what I can, but the more folks who know what they're doing, the better.

Hello,
I would love to join you on the 26th 4-6 pm. I am in Colorado Springs so it's a bit of a drive but I'll try to be there. As a background, I am not a big editor on English Wikipedia but I do have prolific (if I may say so myself) editing on Marathi Wikipedia. I'm also an admin and a 'crat there. I'm hoping to hook into offline activities in Colorado and try to grow it all over the state.
Thank you for putting this together!
Hope to see you soon.
Cheers,
Abhay

I meant to send this to you all it ended up only sending it to Kassondra. My apologies. Abhay p.s. I hope those of you in the Boulder area are unaffected by the wildfire! Hello, I would love to join you on the 26th 4-6 pm. I am in Colorado Springs so it's a bit of a drive but I'll try to be there. As a background, I am not a big editor on English Wikipedia but I do have prolific (if I may say so myself) editing on Marathi Wikipedia. I'm also an admin and a 'crat there. I'm hoping to hook into offline activities in Colorado and try to grow it all over the state. Thank you for putting this together! Hope to see you soon.

Abby and I had a great talk with Jackie about the editing event she hosted in New York. She had some really useful insight for us on on the intricacies of writing and editing on Wikipedia, and we realized there is a lot we don't know. For example, we were both thinking we could give people a list of women who need pages, and send them off to start researching them, but Jackie mentioned that those articles could get deleted by more senior editors if they're written by folks just starting out. We want to make sure we're setting people up with the knowledge and tools they need to build up their experience and become lifelong editors who will regularly add citations, and, hopefully, some day write well-researched entries on important women as they see needs. I think Pharos said you're all based in the Boulder area? If so, we'd love to meet up with one (or all!) of you to learn how we can be a useful resource for the folks attending our event in two weeks. Abby is out of town right now, but I believe she's coming back next week. My schedule is completely open then, and I'm also available this weekend if that works best for anyone. We'd love a bit of a primer on how to get started as editors, and a run-through of the system so that we can give accurate advice during our event. Also, if any of you are interested in joining us at Sanitas for our "Outdoor Women of Wikipedia" event, we'd love to have you all! Jackie mentioned that Erika was an incredible--and necessary--resource for her event, and we will certainly take all the help and expertise we can get. Thank you so much, everyone, and I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! Best, Kassondra P.S. Apologies if I've left someone out here! This chain grew pretty quickly and I thought it would be simpler to reach out to the Colorado folks directly, but please feel free to pass this message along to anyone else in the Wiki community.
