Dear Wiki-Yorkers,
Please join Wikimedia NYC as we celebrate WikiWomen's History Month with a
Wikidata workshop! Wikidata is the newest project of the Wikimedia
Foundation, connecting Wikipedia using linked open data. In this workshop,
attendees will learn how Wikidata is being used by libraries, archives, and
museums, and get a chance to do some hands-on editing as we create entries
for woman identified artists and their works.
This event will be held from 2PM - 6PM on Sunday, March 25th in the
Boardroom at the Ace Hotel in midtown. Please bring your laptop and your
questions!

WikiConference North America needs your help! We want your input on the
needs and wants for our conference. This is your chance to let us know the
problems, goals, and types of programming you think our North American
Wikimedia community needs to focus on.

The survey shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes, and is a prerequisite for
us to get grant funding from the Wikimedia Foundation - so your input is
greatly appreciated!
If you haven't heard yet, we're thrilled to announce that WikiConference
North America 2018 will be happening in Columbus, Ohio from October 18 -
21. Stay tuned to our website for details, and follow us on social media to
be kept up to date.
