Hey, Has anyone noticed the high concentration of editing coming out of Kansas in the United States on the recent bubble map at http://infodisiac.com/blog/2011/05/wikipedia-edits-visualized/? Do we know who/what is going on there? Should we be holding events in Topeka? Alex User:Sadads

Since thats right in the middle of the country that may be a false reading. I know other mapping programs put all of the hits to a website that come from the united states but they can't tell where from at that location. -Guerillero On 5/17/11, Alex Stinson <sadads(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Well, it *would* be awesome if we had a secret wiki-hive in Topeka, anyway. Who else is trying to build (g)local wiki communities in the US? I think some of these may already be quietly growing beyond the horizon of our attention...

Well it looks, from that map, that their must be some good concentrations of editors in Toronto (not US but close to the border) and LA. Do we know who is participating from that area. Are their people who we could poke? Alex On Wed, May 25, 2011 at 5:30 PM, Pharos <pharosofalexandria(a)gmail.com>wrote;wrote:

Wikimedia Canada is actually our newest approved chapter. :-) I believe quite a few of the people involved in that are from Ontario, so that would cover the Toronto people. As for the LA people, I know Shipmaster is an active Wikimedian in that area. There's also been a few Los Angeles meetups <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Los_Angeles> and there is a general Wikimedia California mailing list <https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-california>. -- Casey Brown Cbrown1023
