Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/RelinkingGovt

Schedule

 * We'll offer training only if new people come who need it.
 * Our plan is to review sets of pages on English Wikipedia that refer to the whitehouse.gov site and see if the links work right, and if not to make a wise substitution.
 * We also would like to understand why different searches are giving different numbers of such links.

FAQ

 * Do I have to be a Wikipedia editor already? No, this event is open to everyone, even beginners.
 * What happens if I get hungry? We'll have food! Details TBD.
 * What should I bring? A laptop computer
 * Can I leave early? Sure! we won't lock anyone in. You can walk from this building to the National Mall or to a restaurant
 * How can I access the GWU wireless network?
 * It takes a few steps and minutes to get a WiFi login:
 * Connect to the WiFi (SSID) network called GWconnect.

To do's

 * update Whitehouse.gov article for new administration
 * Follow up any of these searches for external links to whitehouse.gov. Are they broken?  If so search for a good substitute.  One to try is simply obamawhitehouse.gov, the National Archives version from January:
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?target=http%3A%2F%2Fwhitehouse.gov&title=Special%3ALinkSearch
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?target=https%3A%2F%2Fwhitehouse.gov&title=Special%3ALinkSearch
 * https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?target=www.whitehouse.gov&title=Special%3ALinkSearch


 * and diagnose the various searches and why they give sharply different numbers of pages back ; find ways to count mainspace only
 * and follow up this conversation: Village_pump_(miscellaneous)
 * tangent: look to include new sources from Talk:Public_Interest_Declassification_Board
 * Sunlight's post about this
 * Worklist of federal R&D agencies
 * Office of Federal Procurement Policy
 * Office of Science and Technology Policy‎
 * Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs‎
 * Office of Management and Budget‎
 * Public Interest Declassification Board‎
 * update Category:Obama administration personnel and Category:Trump administration cabinet members
 * People listed in Political appointments of Donald Trump
 * Andreas Georgiou -- interesting case, not in US administration
