New York metropolitan area composition
Hello, as you have participated with this in the past, your opinion is valued at a talk page discussion at Talk:New York metropolitan area NYCRuss   ☎  21:45, 13 June 2010 (UTC)

Ignorance Index
As a contributor to this article (back in 2005!), you may be interested to know I have proposed it for deletion. See the article for more details. 00:56, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikimania panel W25
Could you please have a look here and confirm whether it will take place or cancel it? Thanks.--Yaroslav Blanter (talk) 11:04, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

WP:GLAM/SI
Hey, I created a page at GLAM/SI as a good central place for discussion of ideas of what we can offer to the Smithsonian. Sadads (talk) 14:13, 22 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding the Article counts. I also added a list of categories related to SI. Just out of curiousity, is it possible to determine if personnel from SI are making edits to WP? Not specifically who they are just a general count from the IP? --Kumioko (talk) 17:35, 23 June 2010 (UTC)

Posting photos?
Hi Pharos. We met at the past few NYC user group meetings. I am relatively new to Wikipedia and have posted several interesting articles about copper's antimicrobial properties. Would now like to add a few pics to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copper_alloys_in_aquaculture. I looked at the wiki manual and have a conceptual understanding how to do this. But it could easily take a day and much frustration to get the first one done...with all that can go wrong (got started and quickly got stuck). Do you know anyone who could walk me through how to post the first one...should take only 10 minutes or so and would be a big time saver...these things are always more difficult when one tries them for the first time. Thanx, and see you at the next meeting. Enviromet (talk) 13:54, 28 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Pharos. I wonder if Media Wizard works for Macs? I am on a Mac and I think maybe Environmet is too. Invertzoo (talk) 13:23, 30 June 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Campus Ambassadors at Princeton University
Hi Pharos,

Thanks very much to the Wikimedia New York City chapter for offering to help with the Campus Ambassador recruitment efforts! We are actively looking for qualified individuals with convenient access to the Princeton University campus. Could Wikimedia New York City make a few recommendations? We're interviewing and screening various applicants now, and would definitely like to add your recommendations to the applicant pool.

(Feel free to email me this information if you prefer: alin@wikimedia.org).

More information about the Campus Ambassador role, including qualifications, can be found at http://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Campus_Ambassador.

Thank you! I look forward to hearing back from you.

 * Pharos: "...on using wikis to create digital resources for New York City's 350 neighborhoods" is a great topic, and I will attend to learn how to apply your ideas to Philadelphia, but it deserves more than 5 minutes. --DThomsen8 (talk) 15:18, 27 August 2010 (UTC)

Meetup/DC 11
Hey, just in case you missed it, there is an oppurtunity to get a free dinner this Tuesday August 11 and a chance to meet and hang out talk about WikiProject United States Public Policy and WP:GLAM/SI. Sorry that this is so late in the game, I was hoping the e-mail would be a better form of contact for active members (if you want to get on the e-mail list send me an User e-mail ). Hope that you can attend, User:Sadads (talk)12:33, 9 August 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to say
Today is the first chance I got to be able to tell you that I appreciate your efforts in the NYC meetup conference. I imagine quite a bit of work went into it and you probably didn't get a lot of feedback. Plus, I bet we stuck you with cleaning cups and plates. I know I did. I had to leave early. So, sorry about that, but again, thanks for all the work you put into it. --Moni3 (talk) 21:05, 30 August 2010 (UTC)

Geonotice request
Hi Pharos, I wanted to request that you please take a look at the request for Geonotice for Delhi, India. We need it as urgently as possible for an upcoming meetup, Barry Newstead from the foundation will also be attending that one and we need to inform other wikimedians. Thanks.--Theo10011 (talk) 20:50, 11 September 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey Pharos, thanks for adding Delhi to the Geonotice list. I am sorry to bother you again but would you mind altering the time by one hour to 18:00, I have edited the request with new time. the time change was out of my control, I am sorry for any inconvenience. Also, there is a new request from Bishakha Dutta for the Mumbai meet, can you please add that as well. Thanks.--Theo10011 (talk) 10:20, 13 September 2010 (UTC)

Bronx/The Bronx

Pune and Mumbai meets
Hi,I read Geonotice and Wikipedia talk:Geonotice, First of all let me appreciate this activity ,till yesterday I was not aware of Geonotice.

Indian wikipedians simply are aware about en wiki but 95% people are not aware that a wiki exists in their own Indian language.Hope to use this geolocation in coming future for benefit of mr wiki.

Mean while there are wiki meetups scheduled in pune and Mumbai and I do have a request that the notice would be visible to entire range of maharashtra

Thanks and Regards

Q not followed by U
Hi. The article List of English words containing Q not followed by U was just nominated for Featured list removal candidates. It just needs a bit of work, and there are some potential references at the bottom of the article's talkpage. I'm letting a few editors who have worked on it (or commented on it) know. Thanks :) -- Quiddity (talk) 01:28, 10 October 2010 (UTC)

Thanks again
Hi Richard, thanks again for being at the fundraiser on Thursday. It was great to see you, and hopefully we'll meet again sooner rather than later. In the meantime, if you ever need anything (from me personally or from the community dept. at the Foundation), please don't hesitate to ask. All the best, Steven Walling at work 17:14, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you! I was in NYC 2 weeks ago for holidays, but I live near Florence, Italy... I had loved to join the meeting!! :)) --Sailko (talk) 22:25, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm a member, but unfortunately in Italy the situation with museums is much more difficult and complicated... anyway, have a nice day! --Sailko (talk) 19:06, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Wikipedia Takes Manhattan goal list

 * Re: Thanks for your Wikipedia Takes Manhattan planning contributions! I'd like to invite you to join us at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC on Saturday, October 16.

Thank you for the invitation. I'm happy to make a small contribution to Wikimedia New York City. The scavenger hunt is a great idea. Reading your goal list reminded me of the many articles about buildings in the Boroughs that need photographs. Can my future entries (for Staten Island, Queens and Brooklyn) be appended to the list on the talk page? All these entries can serve as a stand-alone wishlist for NYC photos. As such, maybe you would prefer the information pasted into a separate page that can be stored in your project hierarchy, and/or integrated with the relatively unknown Category:Wikipedia requested photographs of architecture.

Antinomian edits
Sorry I can't make it to the Meetup. Anyway, thinking of you. The George Washington (inventor) prank was funny! Here's another legit, antinomian part of Wikipedia. -- La comadreja  formerly AFriedman  RESEARCH  (talk)  19:49, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Felice Beato

Geonotice request
Hey Pharos, I would like to request that you please add the current request for Mumbai to the Geo-notice list as soon as possible. There's not a lot of time left, we would really appreciate it. Thanks.Theo10011 (talk) 18:33, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
 * Saw your reply Pharos, no problem. We got central notice on en:wp for the event so it wasn't an issue. I'll keep your suggestion in mind next time. Thanks.Theo10011 (talk) 16:09, 1 November 2010 (UTC)

Question re finding NYC based source
Greeting, Pharos. I have a question, and I'll try to be brief -- I stumbled across your page looking for resources related to NYC libraries and wikipedia. Anyway, I am far from NYC, but am currently working on an article on the Sunday Mercury, an influential 19th century New York newspaper and at one time the highest circulation weekly paper in the U.S., which is currently a (sadly) missing article. As far as I can tell (let me know if there is anywhere else to look, but I already looked here), there are no online scans of this paper, and one of the few places with any sizable collection is the New York Public Library. I was wondering if there is anyone anywhere I can find that would have an interest in scanning a few mastheads and such to help create the article. Let me know if you have any thoughts, and thanks for your time!--Milowent • talkblp-r 14:20, 2 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Not that you were worried :-), but I was able to get someone from a rare newspaper site to get me a decent scan.--Milowent • talkblp-r 16:28, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the tip on Geonotice.
Hi, Pharos, I appreciate your comment to the talk page on the Minnesota meetups suggesting using Geonotice to announce the next meetup. I'll try that out. -- WeijiBaikeBianji (talk, how I edit) 14:24, 3 November 2010 (UTC)

NYC Meetup
Is it the Ollie's on 84th street, or the one on 116th street? The notice at the top of the page says the 84th street one (2315 Broadway) while the text and google map point to the 116th street one.--RegentsPark (talk) 17:40, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Geonotice for Dublin meetup
Hi, the geonotice for our upcoming meetup in Dublin does not seem to be appearing, after one week. This is getting critical now as we need to get the word out ASAP, due to the current spell of bad weather. Can you help out here, or point me to someone who can sort this out? Many thanks-- Hohenloh + 03:01, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

NYC Meetup: Saturday, December 4
Our next Wikipedia NYC Meetup is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at Brooklyn Museum during their awesome First Saturdays program, starting at 5 PM.

A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be 'Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968', and the accompanying "WikiPop" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.

This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!
