10th anniversary banners
by Steven Walling 10 Jan '11

10 Jan '11

Hi everyone, So we're about a week away from the anniversary, and there more than 275 events listed on ten.wikipedia.org. Whether you're an informal meet-up of a dozen people or a conference for hundreds led by a chapter, we're going to use this week to run CentralNotice banners on Wikimedia sites to remind readers of the anniversary and promote your activities. (I'm going to repeat the following details on the tenwiki Village Pump if you prefer to read it there.) We're currently running a banner on English Wikipedia that links directly to tenwiki and is awaiting further translation. (We will also be translating the Main Page of tenwiki further. Let me know if you want to help with both those translation projects.) The priority here is threefold: 1. Educate people about the 10th anniversary in general. 2. Link to a comprehensive list of online and offline events so that people can choose the event that interests them. 3. Show people the enormously diverse number of things our movement is doing to celebrate. Considering that we're only running the 10th anniversary messages for a week, we did not plan for a large number of different banner designs. However, if you're an organizing group that would like to run your own banner design or directly link to your event in your country, that is definitely welcome contingent on a few basic requirements: 1. Just to state the obvious, the banner needs to be localized fully and will only run for visitors in your country who are on the wiki the banner is localized for. 2. The banner will need to mention both the 10th anniversary (remember, most people have no idea it's happening) and that there are events to join. A banner that merely mentions a single party or other kind of event without context would fail to do justice to the anniversary and the other volunteers who have worked hard to make it memorable. 3. The banner can link to your event's ten.wikipedia.org page or a landing page elsewhere. To link directly to a page off tenwiki, that page needs to clearly mention and link back to the other events on tenwiki (so that people don't end up at a dead end if they don't find what they're looking for). If there are multiple events happening in your country, then whatever page the banner links needs to mention all of them. 4. You need to submit this banner directly to me so that we don't miss any submissions. If you want to put it on-wiki first and simply link to it in your email, that's great. If you're still with me here, thanks for reading, and thanks for everything you're doing to make the 10th anniversary great. If you have questions, please let me know.

Video Chats arrangements
by Jeromy-Yu Chan (Jerry~Yuyu) 09 Jan '11

09 Jan '11

Dear all as I mentioned previously some of us expressed our wishes to video chats with other parties around the world (even Jimbo express such wish :P) so I think it is to have a list or sort of thing to cross check each other times so I started one the ten yo wiki http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_Chat I have a little request for everyone to convert your party time to UTC also, for an easier match. and I have divided the list into two sections, as I believe 15th will be the peak hour of events. do feel free to suggest anything and if you wanna chat with our HK beaux, do mail me off list :P -- Jerry~雨雨 Jeromy-Yu Maximilian Chan, ARAD http://about.me/jeromyu/bio http://jeromyu.blogspot.com also Jeromyu on twitter, plurk and most of places Tel (Mobile): +852 9279 1601 Perdat ego veni ut plasticum habeant et arachis habeant

the Department of Fun would like to help celebrate 10 years
by Rob Schnautz 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

(the following message was posted at tenwiki:Ideas on 03:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)) Attention, Event Holders! The Department of Fun <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DOF> at the English Wikipedia has been working very hard on developing a unique trading card game <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:TCG> based on the English Wikipedia. The profits (beyond production) will benefit Wikimedia, as we'd like to continue the non-profit tradition. We'd like to thank all the Wikipedians in the world (and the Wikipedia fans) who have helped make Wikipedia worthy of its own trading card game, so we're offering a free promotional trading card to everyone. Unfortunately, since the game is still under development, we're only able to offer a coupon at the moment which can be redeemed after the game's release (which might easily be a few years from now). We encourage all event leaders to download and print several copies to distribute at your events <http://wptcg.wikia.com/wiki/File:Coupon2011.png>. Thanks, Event Leaders, and happy anniversary, Wikipedia! On behalf of the Department of Fun <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:DOF>, Bob the Wikipedian <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Bob_the_Wikipedian> ^(talk <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Bob_the_Wikipedian> . contribs <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Bob_the_Wikipedian>) 03:52, 7 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikimedia Czech Republic event
by okino 07 Jan '11

07 Jan '11

Dear friends, I just want to inform You, that Wikimedia Czech Republic joined the global family of Wikimedians celebrating the Wikipedia 10 anniversary with a special event. A public concert, that will take place in Prague January 15, will be arranged from works of the famous Czech composers like Dvorak, Smetana, Janacek and others. And as all the performed works are in public domain and as all the performers agreed to make their performances under free license, the concert will be (audio-)recorded and the recordings will be uploaded to the Wikimedia Commons. So we hope You will be able to enjoy the music later and learn something about our culture this way. Happy 10th Wikipedia Birthday to everyone! Okino Wikimedia Czech Republic
