Good idea! I just added that, Richard!
Do you have any updates on the Wikimania meetup grant deadline?

I've turned it on now so the banner will be visible to readers, as well as editors.
Would it be worth mentioning somewhere that people can also upload photos they've taken in the past, not just new ones?
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

Awesome! Yes; I can see it when I'm logged in. It looks great! Thanks so much, Richard!
We did add the hashtag to the instructions for participation during the meeting the other night. ... and I also just added it to the top of the page.

Update: The banner for WikiPixNC should be visible now for desktop and mobile people who are logged in as editors.
Are you seeing it?
If it is working alright, I can turn it on for readers too soon.
Also, should we mention the hashtag on the Meta-Wiki page? Maybe someone should use it on Twitter once to get things started.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

Hey NC Wiki friends!
We're just a couple weeks away from the launch of our first-ever spring photo project, Wiki Pics NC '22! We have a great meetup page, which you can find here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/North_Carolina_Wikipedians/wikipixNC2...
Even if you haven't been coming to the planning meetings, I hope you'll participate in the project. It's low pressure, low stakes, but hopefully high fun! Just visit a North Carolina place of cultural, natural, or historic significance and upload it to the Wikimedia Commons between May 22 and June 22. (Full details at the page above.)
Our next planning meeting is next *THURSDAY, May 19, at 7pm*. Zoom link to come. The project will launch just four days later, so I hope you're able to join!
In the meantime, here are a handful of things folks can work on asynchronously:
- Gaurav did an amazing job of finding gorgeous photos for the
bottom of the page. Anyone want to add an inline photo or two somewhere earlier in the page for visual interest?
- The cute button at the top that says "click here to upload your
photos" etc... can we add it again toward the bottom, right after the "Got Questions" section and before the photos? I just tried quickly copying and pasting, but it had a "float:right" situation and I couldn't figure out what to replace that with to make it centered. ;)
- Try out the upload before our meeting, pretending you're brand
new to the Wikimedia Commons. When we meet, we'll discuss: Did everything go smoothly? Was anything confusing?
- *Question: *We talked about the hashtag #wikipixNC22 in our last
meeting. Should we ask people to add that somewhere in their photo upload, the way we add it to an edit summary during #1lib1ref?
- *Related question: *Should we add somewhere to the page that
people should use that hashtag when talking about the project on social media?
Hope to see you Thursday!
