Hello, and welcome
Hi Ultimoed; it's nice to have another Rhode Island editor on wikipedia. I do a lot of Rhode Island history, mostly colonial people (governors and early settlers). Seeing that you are a Cranston librarian really struck a chord with me. My grandparents, while living, lived in the big house next door to the Oaklawn branch library. I spent many summers at that house, and two years ago my wife and I stopped by there and talked to the current owners. It was a nostalgic visit. Also, the owner of the Edward Searle House in Oaklawn is an old friend of mine from half a century ago. I was interested in several of the projects in which you are hoping to engage, such as historic Oaklawn. Best wishes with your forthcoming editing.Sarnold17 (talk) 10:53, 19 October 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for reaching out to me! I would be very interested in collaborating to try and add more information to the Oaklawn village page. I am currently researching Fiskeville to try and update that stub. I'm trying to get the library staff more empowered to edit and add entries about Cranston and RI. I was trying to reach out to the Wikipedia Loves Libraries effort to find someone who might be able to come in to the library and train staff members on editing Wikipedia. Would that be something you might be interested in doing? Ultimoed (talk) 1:31PM, 7 November 2012


 * I had not heard of Fiskeville before your mention of it. Kudos for your outreach to other librarians.  Though interested in helping, I live in Maryland so am not disposed to doing anything in RI.  I hope you'll be editing Fiskeville soon; I'll put it on my watchlist so that I can follow along.Sarnold17 (talk) 10:11, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
