This is fantastic! Kudos, all, for organizing and implementing so well!
I have several followup questions:
* Can people still use the links already set up to add things after the official end
of the campaign? (I might know some bald guy who has a lot of pictures of NC to share, but
didn’t have time yet…. 😊)
* Would one of you be willing to teach a couple HGAPS members how to copy this model
and run similar campaigns?
Kinda related questions:
* We are going to host an edit-a-thon in July; you will be invited! It’s an
opportunity to coach us on how to invite “on Wiki” better!
* We are starting to work on a General Support Fund application (aiming for Aug 21
submission for Sept cycle) with coaching from Jethro/Chris at WMF. One of the strategic
partners that we would like to engage is Wikimedia-NC!
* One of the campaigns folded into the grant is working with a professional society
and an appointed task force to raise the CBT article on Wikipedia to GA (or FA?) status
again. We need some sympathetic experienced editors to help us reach that goal. Budget
would include travel support for people interested in attending a hybrid working meeting
at the ABCT conference, and also compensation for time working on the project.
* A related campaign would be to improve the quality of other existing psychology
pages
* Third campaign likely to be BLPs of women and under-represented groups in
Psychology – we have a lot of source material, but are lean on experienced editors with
familiarity with the relevant etiquette. A small herd that is done with the Wiki Edu and
Wiki Adventure trainings, but prone to make mistakes with the BLP without coaching. We
have a dashboard (like WikiEdu) that we could use to link experienced editors and newer
volunteers into teams. <-- this is the focus of the July edit-a-thon
Lumped all this together rather than putting in two emails.
All my best, and kudos again

Hi NC Wiki* friends!
Tomorrow is the last day for submitting a photo to the Wiki Pix campaign. We're up to
512 photos as I write this, which is, IMO, super impressive! If you've been meaning to
upload a photo or two, now's the time to do it!
We'll have our next meeting on Thursday, July 14, at 7pm. Zoom link to come!

Hello NC Wiki* friends!
We're just a week away from the end of the Wiki Pix campaign and it seems to be going
really well! There are 345 photos uploaded so far, which you can see
here<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Uploaded_via_Campaign:W…NC>.
I'm loving the photos from the Chinese lantern festival in Cary and this albino
alligator from the Fort Fisher
Aquarium<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Albino_Alligator_at_the…pg>.
If you've been meaning to upload a photo but haven't yet, you've got until
next Wednesday, June 22.
Let's plan to discuss the campaign at our next meeting... which we still need to
schedule. I know folks may have summer travel plans. If you'd like to attend our next
meeting, send me a quick note and let me know which of the following Thursday evenings
would be possible for you:
* June 30
* July 7
* July 14
* July 21
I also wanted to make sure folks had seen the message copied below from Ziski about
joining a conversation hour with the Global Advocacy and Public Policy team on July 1.
Please feel free to attend if you're interested!

Hey former Triangle Wikipedians,
I'm Ziski from the Global Advocacy & Public Policy team. I wanted to personally
invite you to our first-ever monthly conversation hours. The call is on July 1 at 16h EST.
All information you need to participate is on this Meta page [1].
The agenda is split between a dedicated theme for the month and whatever items you wish to
cover. This month we will share some of our work on disinformation. There is no set agenda
for the second half of the call - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the
etherpad [2]. Come and talk to us! Ask us anything, or tell us anything, related to public
policy and advocacy initiatives for free knowledge online. For example:
* You want to learn more about our team and our current initiatives
* You would like to share a policy development or advocacy campaign idea and would like to
get feedback or support
* You have questions about a specific WMF policy priority or development
Hope to see you there... or at the next one!
Ziski, on behalf of the Global Advocacy team
