Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/EOB/Unforgetting 5

Background
Since July 2013, Unforgetting LA is a series of Wikipedia edit-a-thons to build a better online history of art in Southern California. We meet throughout the year at local galleries, museums, and nonprofit art spaces. Previous hosts include the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture. Unforgetting L.A. is organized by East of Borneo, an online magazine of contemporary art and its history as considered from Los Angeles.

 * Olegkagan (talk) 19:03, 22 August 2014 (UTC) - Question: I'm not very familiar with the artists on the worklist, will there be materials to work from?
 * Hi! Yes, we'll prepare some files that you can work from, but you can also work on anything at all that interests you—it doesn't need to be on our worklist or even connected to the theme of the event. You can also feel free to add things to that worklist if there are artists, organizations, etc. that you'd like to see represented there. StaceyEOB (talk) 19:53, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks, StaceyEOB. I'll look around the worklist and decide. Looking forward to the event! Cheers, Olegkagan (talk) 21:42, 22 August 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello and thank you. Yes, I will be there and I will bring file materials on Carp, which is on the list. Marilyn Nix (talk) 02:44, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
 * That's great, Marilyn! Press clippings and anything independent of Carp would be a huge help. And if you have any photographs that you took and hold the copyright to, we could even upload those to Wikimedia Commons. We'll see you there! StaceyEOB (talk) 15:38, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

Regrets:

 * Sorry to miss you at this one, Penny. Next time! We're about to start a partnership with LA as Subject that kicks off at their Archives Bazaar on October 25. I'll post more info soon. Have fun in Redondo! StaceyEOB (talk) 15:38, 25 August 2014 (UTC)
