Archives of American Art
Hi Sarah - is this for New York or DC? Do you know the general time frame? I'd like to give a tentative 'yes' but when do you need a definitive response? Hope all is well -- David  Shankbone  16:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi David, thanks for coming by. It's in DC, all the details are located on the event page. Again, only 10 Wikimedians can attend, and people will be moved onto a waitlist. There is no RSVP date, and I will be emailing all who sign up to attend to verify that they are attending a few days in advance. There will be other Smithsonian related Backstage Passes (this Fall), FYI. =) There is also a National Archives event which will take place in early August (I don't know the details, I just know it'll happen). Sorry I can't be of more help! SarahStierch (talk) 16:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

-- Sarah: I'd love to come to future events, but I'll be out of town on that day. Let me know if something like this happens again, though. Thanks! L Faraone  17:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

-- This is bad ass... wish I could come.... Always thought someone should mine the treasure that is DC museums and you seem to be the person to do it! Let me know of future events please!!! ROCK ON!!! Lwoodyiii (talk) 23:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

{BUT afterwards I looked on the events page. Yes, please sign me up. I am an occasional visitor to the American Art Museum, am often at various Smithsonian events. Have a long standing interest in American Art, am a novelist (word guy) and videographer (electronic art guy). — Preceding unsigned comment added by MedianMale (talk • contribs) 22:15, 17 July 2011 (UTC)
 * hi sarah, yes, coming; food for thought: User:Slowking4/Image Rescue Squadron. let me know what you think. it does take away from new article creation, but needs to be done. Slowking4 : 7@1|x 21:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can see "Itcmarketing" as a clear COI editor in the article's history; was there another contributor you've identified as having a COI? Kuru  (talk)

SAAM licenses
hi sarah, check this out: Dewey Albinson was a Public Works of Art Project, and all the works produced are with SAAM and PD, but licensed cc-by-1.0 NC ND on flickr  was there and now taken down? i am confused. do we need to have this discussion? Slowking4 : 7@1|x 18:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Wow. They license this stuff, and they want you to pay to use it, which is unfortunate, since it is obviously PD. As are a lot of the images on Flickr. It can be brought up (though the Archives of American Art has NOTHING to do with SAAM decisions) with SAAM if you wish, but, right now I only have time for one institution with annoying copyright restrictions =) Really great example though, and something we have to keep on our mind to discuss in the future. SarahStierch (talk) 18:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * here's the exhibition website i am sympathetic to the fremium thesis. (upload thumbnails to commons with reference to their full size for sale). i think a general discussion of image management, showing NARA's release of ansel adams would be productive.  i leave the diplomacy to you; i can be bad cop ;>  Slowking4 : 7@1|x 18:43, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * They are familiar with NARA and all the details, trust me! I just gave a talk about copyright on Wednesday. SAAM folks attended and we have some ideas in the works. Patience =) SarahStierch (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)
 * could be worse: the boston public library (with an image of cogswell fountain), charges for scanning photos  Slowking4 : 7@1|x 14:35, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Collaboration between Wikimedians in Residence
Hi Sarah, just read about your meetup today and would like to signal an interest in getting involved this time or in the longer term. I have listed some ideas about how to combine GLAM and OA activities at GLAM/OA and would be particularly interested to establish contact with the scientific divisions at SI. Cheers, -- -- Daniel Mietchen 20:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm excited to see you touch base with Sarah, Daniel, and was thrilled to hear of the Wikimedian in Residence concept broadening for such a great project. Having been the Children's Museum of Indianapolis' Wikipedian in Residence since August 2010, I'm also very interested in Wiki-in-Residence collaborations and would be interested to touch base with you. The Children's Museum is very heavy on the sciences, and strongly supports their Science Port programming that covers many disciplines in order to educate children and families. Wikipedians in Residence are very collaborative folk :). Hope to speak soon - My museum webpage. Wikipedia project page. Commons project page. LoriLee (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi from TheBlueWizard!
It was a pleasure chatting with you last night at the meetup. Of course, as a reminder, you can learn about American Sign Language. In that article there is a brief paragraph on grammar with a link to American Sign Language grammar. I hope that clears up the matter. Unfortunately, there is no standard writing system for ASL. The best way to learn ASL is to take a course. Another way is to attend a deaf gathering such as ASL Dinner, which I co-host (see ASL Dinner). Have a nice day! TheBlueWizard (talk) 19:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks
Sarah,

Thanks for your organization of the AAA GLAM event, and please relay my appreciation to all the folks at AAA who participated. Everybody was extremely friendly and professional. My personal difficulties were dealt with extremely well. You've set a standard for other GLAM events to match.

I skipped out of the meetup at the bar afterwards and headed straight for the hotel pool! I did manage to get some Washington photos for NRHP and even a few Public Art pix (but I probably can't use them - Pushkin statue at GWU and Henry Muhlenberg bust in Tenley Park are typical - probably copyrighted)

Thanks again and all the best,

Reverted you, :-)
Sarah I reverted your removal of bibliography. Let me know if you disagree. Please see my edit summary. The citation template used for the bibliography, which I introduced allows Harvard style referencing which will be elegant and useful in the future.

License tagging for File:Ncnw1-1brochurez.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Ncnw1-1brochurez.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 12:05, 13 August 2011 (UTC)

After Wikimania
Hi Sarah, Yes, great to meet you and share good times at Wikimania. I lost you at the end ... couldn't find you to say goodbye. We'll keep going.

Hi,

A little boldly I tweaked your list User:SarahStierch/Women's artists without articles as find might encourage readers to have a go at creating initial stubs (if they can spot some good sources). Cheers Fæ (talk) 22:05, 15 August 2011 (UTC)


 * I just dropped in to update the Talkback I left Sarah and saw this, and was very glad I did. I have some articles planned already but I'll definitely be referring to that list in future. Thanks very much to both of you.  Rubywine . talk 00:26, 16 August 2011 (UTC)

Women in Distress
Hi Sarah, thanks for your edits to improve the article, especially the infobox which is excellent. I have opened a discussion topic on the talk page about one issue, the changes to the information about Roxcy Bolton. Please have a look: Talk:Women in Distress. Thanks.

IRC
I don't do IRC. IM and such is not really suited to my temperament, and I don't like the "behind-the-curtain" feel that "let's take it to IRC" has always carried in my mindspace. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:47, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Orangemike! No problem, we just wanted to form another place for dialogue and community for those who might prefer IRC over mailing lists, or strictly Wiki conversation. (Or can't meet offline.) :) We do have a gender gap mailing list too! gendergap list if that ever interests you. Thanks for all your hard work on Wikipedia!

IRC
I saw your invitation on my page. Unfortunately I have no idea how to join--I haven't taken part in chat rooms since like ten years ago. So... yeah. Any help is appreciated. Someone else also invited me to the gendergap list. I think I might have an easier time with that.--Henriettapussycat (talk) 18:34, 21 August 2011 (UTC)

Why did you ask her to contribute a new "edit or article" when she's been ?-- SarekOfVulcan (talk) 18:59, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
