Hello Wiki New Yorkers,
Just a reminder that the Wiki Loves NYC Parks Prospect Park photo contest
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Prospect_Park_nature_pho…>
closes on Halloween night. If you've taken pictures of trees, plants,
birds, insects, rodents, bats, mushrooms, or any other nature in Prospect
Park, upload it via this link
<https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaign:ProspectPark> by 11:59 PM ET
on 10/31 to be eligible.to win one of the prizes. All photos of nature in
Prospect Park uploaded during the contest period will be eligible,
regardless of when the photos were taken. In other words, you're free to
upload older photos as long as they weren't already on Commons (and as long
as you took the photos yourself, of course). Good luck, and let me know if
you have questions!
The Wiki-Pavilion Picnic NYC is a planned socially-distanced Wiknic in
Brooklyn's Prospect Park to coincide with the virtual WikiConference North
America 2021, on the afternoon of Sunday October 10, being held at the
historic Concert Grove Pavilion.
With participatory elements celebrating WikiProject Craft, we will have
materials and tools so you can make your own embroidered Wikimedia logo
button!
All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct. In addition,
to participate in person you should be vaccinated and also be sure to
respect others' personal space, and we may limit overall attendance size if
appropriate.
