Completion information from the December Virtual editathon
by Gaurav Vaidya 01 Feb '25

01 Feb '25

Hi everybody, I compared the number of “done” values from our WikiPixNC spreadsheet after [1] and before [2] our December editathon: we had 14 completions before the editathon and 98 after, which is an increase of 84 files in 1.5 hours — that’s not bad! I’ve added this information to the event page [3] and made a quick note about this on our next annual report [4]. We still have 465 files remaining in the spreadsheet. I also noticed we didn’t have a facilitator or a notetaker for our February meeting [5] — I’m happy to take on either role! Cheers, Gaurav [1] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1NiBmuf5auQCjhPwAsG1kLbywLhumAUWqsrs… [2] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13Q-5NmGK5DXAJNQmefRQn3vE8NKF084KTZH… [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NC/Virtual_Editathon_Decembe… [4] https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/North_Carolina_Wikipedians/reports#2024 [5] https://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/North_Carolina_Wikipedians#L383

February meeting... 2/13?
by E.S. Jack 25 Jan '25

25 Jan '25

Hey NC Wikipedian friends! I let January pass without scheduling a meeting. My apologies. Let's get one on the books for February. Two questions, if you're planning to attend any of our upcoming meetings: - Our typical meeting time has been Tuesday evenings once a month at 7pm. Do you have consistent conflicts with that time? - Do you have a specific conflict with Tuesday, Feb. 13 at 7pm? Unless I hear some NOs, let's plan for meeting 2/13 at 7:00. Zoom link to come. Emily
