Hi everybody!
Thanks to everybody who attended our monthly meeting last Tuesday! Here’s a few reminders and updates from that meeting, but you can read the full meeting notes on Etherpad [1]:
1. We decided to try to finish checking all the photos [2] from wikiPix NC 2022 by the end of this year so we’ll have a chance of running wikiPix NC 2026 next year! We’ll be working on it together this Sunday, November 16, 2025 starting at 11am ET on Zoom [3]. We’re not going to advertise this on Wikipedia — it’s just for anybody on this list who’s interested, or for any friends you’d like to bring along.
2. We’d like to organize something for Wikipedia’s 25th Anniversary on Thursday, January 15, 2026 [4] — since the day itself falls on a weekday, we discussed organizing a virtual event on the day itself and then an in-person event that weekend, perhaps at a public library or another easily-accessible venue. If you’d like to help organize such an event, please get in touch!
3. We’re looking into doing more virtual “Introduction to Wikipedia” events to reach out to people who might never have thought about editing Wikipedia. If you know of any event series in North Carolina that might be interested in hosting us, or would like to help present, please speak up!
If you’d like to check some wikiPix NC 2022 images before Sunday, the instructions are included in the Google Sheet [2]. Hope to see some of you on Sunday!
cheers,
Gaurav
