Wikipedia talk:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism 2014

WikiProject women artists worklist
Hi, we have a list here, too. It's incomplete, for sure! I am going to add this events to-do list to that one, at least the red links, so we can combine forces. :) SarahStierch (talk) 17:42, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * also keeps a really useful list: User:Gobonobo/Gender_Gap_red_list czar  ♔  00:53, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * There's also a list of articles we're missing from the Feminist Art Base. Gobōnobō  + c 12:42, 23 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Mduvekot also has a list of museum surveys and exhibitions of feminist art at User:Mduvekot/sandbox/feminism museum surveys Gobōnobō  + c 01:41, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Detail missing from local events
I note that local events don't include hours or a contact person to ask for such detail. Who is responsible for coordinating the event in Austin? &mdash;Danorton (talk) 15:17, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Good question! I think only User:Failedprojects and/or User:Theredproject can answer that. SarahStierch (talk) 17:48, 21 December 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi User:Danorton, most of the events are being coordinated by new editors who work in the venues, who are being assisted by experienced editors and/or ambassadors. Hence the new ambassadors have not signed in yet, edited their details, etc. I will check in the the Austin contact, and ask them to update the event info, and say hello on your talk page. We will be checking in with all the organizers after the holidays. --Theredproject (talk) 23:57, 21 December 2013 (UTC)

Press kit
The last email mentioned a press kit coming out shortly. Is there an ETA on that, now that we're two weeks out? czar ♔  13:45, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Ping: User:Failedprojects, User:Theredproject czar  ♔  20:57, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi Czar. Sorry for not seeing this, I've been offwiki for a few days. Thanks for talking on my talk page. The press kit is about to be finished. There are two ways you could roll. You could grab the copy & image from the mailing list email I *just* sent out, and manipulate as you see fit. Or you can send your email to artandfeminismwiki@gmail.com and we can invite you to a Google doc that is being finalized.--Theredproject (talk) 21:15, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I have a few press organizations that have asked for the official description, so I've emailed for access. Thanks! czar  ♔  02:18, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Mass account creation
I read what I could on mass account creation, but I'm still hazy. Am I going to run into trouble if I'm planning to have editors sign up en masse during our tutorial? If so, what are my options? Should I secure account creator in advance? Would be good to broach this now since many of the satellite events will likely run into this issue. czar ♔  23:41, 17 January 2014 (UTC)
 * This is a good question, and is a bit above my level of wizardry. and  were discussing this, but I am not sure what the consensus was. Thanks for reminding/prompting. Let me ping them, and we can come to a consensus on how to handle this.--Theredproject (talk) 21:24, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * User:Pharos and myself will take care of this and make sure that the IP address doesn't get blocked by account creation en masse. Not to worry! We've done this before at our events so expect no slip-up! Thanks for checking though. This is definitely pretty crucial for large events. If any of the other remote Edit-a-Thons outside of NY need help with this let us know! OR drohowa (talk) 21:55, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Sounds good. So I'll plan to ping y'all if signup goes awry. (I imagine you'll be refreshing often enough.) czar  ♔  02:13, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
 * FYI, the conclusion was to give Account Creator status to each organizer. If you have problems, please contact User:Pharos to get those permissions.--Theredproject (talk) 13:32, 1 February 2014 (UTC)

Separate event pages
I am so glad to see this event being held in so many cities! In the future, it might be best to create subpages (similar to what I did for Portland, Oregon) to prevent the main page from becoming so long and convoluted. That way people can sign up and discuss event logistics and potential articles at a more local level. Also, the page will then be integrated and categorized with other local meetup pages. Just a thought! If you are interested in having a subpage created, just let me know. Thanks! -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I went ahead and created subpages for many of the meetups, which drastically reduced the number of subsections. Each of the subpages were added to the categories "Wikipedia meetups in 2014" and "WikiWomen events", plus an appropriate regional category ("Wikipedia meetups by X city or county"). I also grouped the meetups by region: Canada, US, Europe, Australia, etc. I hope these edits are helpful. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 19:34, 24 January 2014 (UTC)

Lilya Brik portrait copyright
Is the Lilya Brik Rodchenko portrait used in association with the event in the public domain? I didn't see it on Commons and I'm not exactly familiar with the terms of Soviet copyright law. Just curious, before I use it myself. czar ♔  02:39, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not familiar with Soviet copyright law either, but I would guess it isn't in the public domain. You might be able to get a more definitive answer if you post a message at WP:IMAGEHELP. Gobōnobō  + c 22:30, 30 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I also looked on the Commons and didn't find it, and given that I am not up on Russian copyright law, assumed the same.--Theredproject (talk) 18:21, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

Organization
No rush, but I think that if this campaign is to be planned again in the future, we should move this page to Meetup/ArtAndFeminism 2014. The account creator and outcome subpages should also be moved to include "2014". Most of the event pages designate the year, which is important for future disambiguation. I created a categories here at Wikipedia and at Commons, including the year as well. Thanks. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 17:47, 3 February 2014 (UTC)


 * I think it would also be useful to have a template commemorating the campaign/year that could be added to the Talk pages of newly created articles. Barte (talk) 17:57, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Might it also be helpful if I created a navigation box for ArtAndFeminism 2014, or is that redundant to the links that appear in the category ArtAndFeminism 2014? -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 18:02, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I think a navbox would be quite helpful. Thanks for your efforts here Another Believer. I hope the Portland event went well. Gobōnobō  + c 04:05, 4 February 2014 (UTC)

Reminder
Just a reminder that Template:Online source can be used on the talk page of articles that are mentioned in press sources. I added the template to articles featured in the ARTnews writeup about the event. -- Another Believer ( Talk ) 03:21, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
