 * 3)  interested in briefing

 * 9)  (Former DC local interested in anything I can do from afar)

 * 11) Visual arts consultation
 * 12)  (I'm up for helping out in any area)
 * 13)  (Interested in process planning and experience-sharing, and in helping from Wikimedia NYC)
 * 14)  (interested in more SI input here, need to get better at photos (especially miniatures) i note that allow pictures at NMAA, but no tripod, makes miniatures fuzzy) i am open to being a volunteer liaison person
 * 15)  (I'm no expert but I could definitely introduce people to the technical and etiquette sides of editing, if you need that kind of help)
 * 16)  (Interested in seeing that these collaborations are successful)
 * 17) Please excuse my long comments: I have been adding biographies based on Flickr Commons images, I have added several hundred. I use the New York Times archive to find basic biographical information. I use my account at Ancestry.com to find the people in the census, and their draft registration, and passport applications, to fill in missing birth dates and occupations, and parents names. I am working on a short article for submission to Air and Space magazine based on my article on Eddie August Schneider. I am also looking for help in lobbying to have Eddie Schneider enshrined in the NJ Aviation Hall of Fame and the National Aviation Hall of Fame for 2011, his birth centenary. Anyone that can help by sending an email or a phone call to anyone they know there would be extremely helpful, and fully appreciated. The biggest problem with moving images from Flickr Commons to Wikipedia is the ease in which anyone can tag a photo for deletion without debate. All you have to do is add a delete tag and the image gets deleted in a few days without debate. You can spend time cropping, and adjusting the contrast, and have anyone delete your work for almost any reason. Deletionists tend to remove images that have older licences and older templates, rather than update them. I have had an editor that I opposed in an unrelated deletion debate, retaliate against me by nominating almost every image I added to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
