Interview request
Hi Librarian lena,

Not sure if you remember me, but we met at the Hackathon back in May and you attended our workshop collecting technical issues editors experience on Wikipedia. You also signed up to our UX research list, showing your interest in helping to improve the usability and usefulness of future features (thank you!).

The Technical Wish team works on a focus area based on a community survey and most recently, Geoinformation was the chosen topic! This clearly relates strongly to your area of interest and expertise, so I wanted to reach out to see if you’d be willing to talk to me.

We are in the very early phase, still identifying the key problem areas within this vast topic before we evaluate them for where our team can have the best impact given our technical expertise and time allotted.

If you’re curious, you can see our onwiki collection of problems posted by the community on meta here. (There are more in german here as well.) You’re welcome to post there if you feel like it, but given your focus on this topic, I thought you would be a great person to do an exploratory interview with. Let me know if you’re open and interested!

 * Hi Elisha, I do remember you and I'm delighted that geoinformation was chosen! Thanks for getting in touch. I'd be happy to participate, and I just emailed you. –Librarian lena (talk) 17:37, 18 January 2021 (UTC)

News On Wiki check-in
Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.

We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.

As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State. Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text " " so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.
 * Saturday Jan. 30, 2pm Pacific / 5 PM Eastern (with Pete)
 * Tuesday Feb. 2, 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern (with Pete)
 * Wednesday Feb. 3, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)
 * Thursday Feb. 4, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)

We hope to hear from you soon! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:49, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Peteforsyth and User:Shanluan, I haven't done anything at all with this campaign. I was really interested in it but didn't end up being able to commit time to it. I can remove myself from the page. Best wishes, Librarian lena (talk) 14:54, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Hi, thanks for the reply. No need to remove your name (we might reach out occasionally if you leave it there). If you're interested in writing or editing or reviewing an article or two about local newspapers in the next month or so, we'd love to have your support; but, no obligation! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 08:57, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
