Wikipedia talk:Meetup/NYC/June 2022

opening section
(made sub-section, to avoid creating repeatedl notifs, to those tagged below)

section to discuss some items for this meeting Sm8900 (talk) 13:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC) here is a rough idea of some of the topics which I have been considering discussing,


 * Wikimedia governance processes:
 * forum for "Movement Strategy" discussions.
 * created New nav box for Meta site, for "basic information."
 * as part of the new movement strategy processes, maybe create a new thematic hub for topics in history-related areas.
 * I think some of these questions/ideas could be answered/talked about in the Wikimedia Communtiy discord in the Meta channel. User:Sm8900 are you on the Wikimedia Communtiy discord? --Wil540 art (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)


 * History-related WikiProjects; ideas for efforts/resources for editing community at Wikipedia:
 * creating new community effort for community calls, maybe via zoom, to discuss history-related projects.
 * maybe create new inter-wikiproject task for for history-related wikiprojects
 * History is such a broad topic, it basically includes all wikipedia subjects, that it makes it hard to focus on as a group. Have you considered a specific part of history to focus on? Have you considered collaborating with any Wikimedia user groups? --Wil540 art (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)


 * ideas for chapter meetups
 * how zoom calls can lead to new style of community cooperation and planning.
 * general communication resources:
 * please join forum for movement strategies
 * possibility for thread on a messaging app?
 * need fo greater community communication
 * would like editors to join wikiproject history, and to join resources or platforms set up for that wikiproject for communication.
 * What is the best way to grow a wikiProject? What is a strategy for building community on wikipedia? Both interesting questions and easier said then done. --Wil540 art (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * would like to be able to hold further zoom calls to address these topics, or perhaps arrange for a periodic separate zoom call. what might be a good way to invite other editors
 * would like to have threaded messaging; Forum Movement Strategy capability; Forum movement Strategy is one good place that is conducive to that.
 * User:Sm8900 I see you posted on Movement Strategy Forum Proposal. Is the discussion page providing the discussion you are looking for? I see you are participating in this thread: https://forum.movement-strategy.org/t/do-you-think-this-forum-can-improve-movement-strategy-discussions-and-collaboration/50/2 I would say that's a good place for some of these questions. Is the discussion page providing the discussion you are looking for? Why or why not? --Wil540 art (talk) 22:04, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
 * @Wil540 art, well, no it is not, because that forum, does not reach a wide enough audience; also the actual method of communication is not what is needed for these ideas, in general. Sm8900 (talk) 22:10, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

these are just some ideas; not sure whether we necessarily would cover all of these. thanks. --Sm8900 (talk) 14:14, 22 June 2022 (UTC)

 * @Sm8900 Thanks for pinging me; I wish I could join as these are great topics, though I am in the wrong timezone to join today so will have to catch up afterward. Thank you. FULBERT (talk) 14:32, 22 June 2022 (UTC)
