Children's Museum update
It's time again to share the latest news on the Children's Museum of Indianapolis Wikipedia project! In the last few months we have been busy with our third image donation, which was made up of 150 images that were professionally photographed specifically for this upload. We are asking for volunteers to categorize these images and distribute them into Wikipedia articles. Your help is appreciated! Check them out here.

We have also donated our first ' and a second ' to Commons. In September we were thrilled to welcome Jimmy Wales to the museum. Following our successful Edit-a-Thon and Translate-a-Thon in August, translations have continued with the help of the established QRpedia community, (particularly Russian translations thanks to Lvova!) We have begun to analyze our implementation of QRpedia codes and completed an extensive case study. In November we presented at the Museum Computer Network conference about how museums can effectively collaborate with Wikipedia. You can see more details on the Prezi.

In more general news, in addition to serving as the Children's Museum's Wikipedian-in-Residence, it was recently announced that I will be taking on the role of US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator for the Wikimedia Foundation. In this role I will be working to streamline the process of connecting interested US GLAMs with the Wikipedia community. If you have any questions or suggestions, feel free to let me know. Be sure to sign up for This Month in GLAM to keep up with the latest GLAM-Wiki news from around the world (subscribe).

We have a listing of High Need and Moderate Need requests on the Ways to Help section on the project page. I encourage you to lend a hand if you're able. While the Children's Museum partnership continues to truck along, we still are in desperate need of volunteers to help disperse our images and update and maintain content. Thank you for your time and help. Happy holidays! LoriLee (talk) 16:45, 21 December 2011 (UTC)

IUPUI
I definitely agree on the priority you've mentioned, and for basic factual information about the nature of the university, internal sources are fine. The easiest way to do this would be to dump these facts at Talk:Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis, along with URLs or print citations for them.

I'm going to go ahead and create Talk:Indiana University – Purdue University Indianapolis/Draft (using the subpage feature), starting with the current contents of the article; this will simplify things because I'll be able to play around with the page layout and do other testing that wouldn't be appropriate in the article itself. It should also help us decide where additions should go, and what things should be chopped: instead of describing what you'd like to be changed, you can mark up the draft page. Probably the best way to show what needs to be deleted is to delete the content yourself, and then put it back by undoing your own edit. When you want something to be added, you can use the "cref" system. This will be a little more complicated, but I can't think of anything simpler: I hope this will help to get started; I'm unable to put together more right now, since I'm on a break from work (my work computer's throwing a fit; I'm using my own laptop), but I'll do my best to help later.
 * When something belongs at a certain spot, add at the spot.
 * Down below, under ==Notes==, add
 * The above will work for only one note. For a second note, use  and , then cref|c, cref|d, etc.  If you delete a note, you can reuse the letter later; it's just that each letter can be used only once at any given time.

Two final things: (1) we have an "outing" policy that says that people shouldn't disclose others' names without the others' permission. With that in mind, please don't use my real name when sending a message on Wikipedia; if you use it by accident, you won't get in trouble, but we'd have to go through a little paperwork to get it removed. (2) To send me a message directly on here, go to my talk page, click the "New Section" button at the top of the page, and write your note. Please sign your message by typing four tildes, ~, at the end; this will produce a link to your own talk page and the time when you left the message. If I write a note here, you can reply at my talk page or here, but if you reply here, please let me know at my talk page so I can know to come back. Nyttend (talk) 18:24, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
