Hi everybody,
I thought I should send out a reminder that Wiki Loves Libraries in Boulder is THIS Saturday from 2pm to 6pm at the Boulder Public Library! You can find all the details at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/November_2013 -- but please do e-mail me if you have any other questions, suggestions or ideas!
cheers, Gaurav
Hey, Gaurav. Thanks a lot for setting this one up. I am pretty sure I can make it there this Saturday. I would not mind taking pictures of the library, as best I can on my phone. Going to Pearl Street very well could happen. And I agree that the BPL has been long in need of an article. It should be a good time. Hope to see some of you there.
I can bring my camera as well.

I will see you there! I will probably arrive closer to 2:30 or 3, so start without me and I will join. Will bring a camera too, though just a point-and shoot. Andy

Good seeing everyone today. Don't piss off the pigeon.
We should start planning the next one of these soon as we can. Maybe can get a better turnout. On Nov 16, 2013 5:29 PM, "Todd Allen" toddmallen@gmail.com wrote:

Yeah. I would suggest aiming for a relatively small museum-linked event in the first or second week of December (i.e. before I leave on December 16) -- not too much new advertising, focus on people who've attended previous meetings, that sort of thing. Or we could have another meeting in the Boulder Library, but really go crazy with getting the word out so we get as many people as possible. What do you think?

I just saw the start of the new article on the library itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boulder_Public_Library Thanks for kicking it off, Gaurav, and the photo looks great (thanks Todd!), Andy

I'd like to go for the museum one myself. Though I suspect a lot of the reference material we can use for those library articles is probably in those libraries. :) Much of it may not be online, from what I'm finding. I'll try some searches through my local library's database here later.
If we do end up doing the museum one I can bring two. My wife has said she's interested in going for that one as well.
Todd
Also, we're about 300 characters away from getting the Boulder Public Library article on the main page DYK. :) If anyone can suggest some more references, I'll try to get it over 1500 and submitted.

At DYK. My suggestion for a hook is:
Did you know that the first branch of the Boulder Public Library (pictured) was built in 1906 for $15,000 from a donation by Andrew Carnegie?
Any other ideas?

I think there's a link between the original funding of the BPL and Mary Rippon, possibly the first woman to ever teach in a state university (http://boulderhistory.org/rippon.asp). There was something about that in one of the books at the last meetup, but I unfortunately didn't start the BPL article until Starbucks. Another reason to meet again at the BPL, I guess!

Woah! We'll be famous!
If we do end up doing the museum one I can bring two. My wife has said she's interested in going for that one as well.
I spoke to a few people at the museum, and they seem quite excited by this idea! We brainstormed some ideas yesterday, and figure the most useful format for the museum might be a two-part event, in which: 1. Museum people show us around the collections, and then 2. Talk to us about the best way for them to contribute to Wikipedia.
I think this sounds like a lot of fun, since this way it'll be pretty freeform: we'd probably start at 2pm in the public collections, to give people time to show up; at some point, we'll all move to the collections building and be shown around the collections. The goal here will be for us to suggest how those collections could benefit Wikipedia -- would we like photographs of the items in the collection themselves? What articles could we write about the items in the collection or the people associated with the museum? After this, we could have a normal editathon, or we could continue working with museum people on a particular item which catches our interest. Do you think that's a good way of organising this? Do you have any other suggestions?
If everything goes according to plan (hah!), I should have some details finalised by early next week. Once that's done, I'm going to need your help in publicising this. I'll make sure a Geonotice goes up, but there was some talk of writing on the user talk pages of (1) anybody who's ever attended a local Wikipedia event, and (2) anybody in relevant categories ("Wikipedians interested in Colorado", "WikiProject Colorado members", and so on). If we can do a lot of that over Thanksgiving weekend, I think we'll be a good place going into December.
An event page for Saturday, December 14 is up at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/December_2013 -- I'll update it as more details are finalised on the Museum's side, but please fix anything that needs fixing, and do e-mail me if I've messed anything up!
cheers, Gaurav
Thank you for the thoughts and organization! I am out of town on the 14th and am in general pretty absentee, but let me know if there is anything I can do on the teaching museum people about Wikipedia front. Andy

DYK is approved, so it should go on the main page in the near future. :)
Also, I noticed while writing this that Boulder City Council is a redlink. Should fixing that be one of our next projects?

Hi everybody!
Decisions have been made, people have been convinced. The next Wikipedia meetup will be next Saturday, December 14, from 2pm to 6pm. Read all about it at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/December_2013, fix the Geonotice at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Geonotice#Requests, or complain about it here or on the wiki!
We're still hashing out the details, so if there's a gastropod you'd REALLY like to see, please let me know!
cheers, Gaurav
Hi everybody!
This Saturday is our behind-the-scenes tour at the CU Museum: please RSVP at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/December_2013 if you might be able to make it so we know how many people to expect!
At our last meetup, we thought it might be a good idea to leave messages on people's user pages to find people who might be interested, but who we haven't found through our mailing list, Facebook page, or who don't check their watchlist often enough to see the geonotice. Do you think that is still a good idea? Some users we could target include: - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Colorado/Members - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Colorado_members - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_interested_in_Colorado - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Colorado
See some/many of you this Saturday!

Hi everybody!
This Saturday is our behind-the-scenes tour at the CU Museum: please RSVP at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Boulder/December_2013 if you might be able to make it so we know how many people to expect!
At our last meetup, we thought it might be a good idea to leave messages on people's user pages to find people who might be interested, but who we haven't found through our mailing list, Facebook page, or who don't check their watchlist often enough to see the geonotice. Do you think that is still a good idea? Some users we could target include:
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Colorado/Members
- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:WikiProject_Colorado_members
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_interested_in_Colorado
See some/many of you this Saturday!
cheers, Gaurav

Or not. Sorry all, had an emergency come up today (our friend needed us to watch his kid while another one was being born. :) ) Hope to see you next time!
Oh wow, that's a very good reason ^_^ -- I hope the baby and mother are doing well! :)
We had a fun meetup, I think! We took a TON of pictures: I've got about 200 on my camera, and I'm hoping the others have many more as well. I've created a category for the event at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikimedians_at_the_CUMNH_2013 and I'm looking forward to seeing your photos there! Mine will have to wait a while: I'll be out of Boulder on holiday until January 11.
There seemed to be some interest from both Wikimedians and our Collections Manager of maybe hosting the same event again and taking more photographs, so we might have another one of these in January if you're interested!
cheers, Gaurav
