Sep 25: Wikimedia NYC Annual Election Meeting (plus Latin music event on Sep 21!)

[edit]
September 25: Annual Election & Members Meeting

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our Annual Election & Members Meeting, with in-person at Prime Produce in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, as well as an online-based participation option.

The Members' Meeting is similar to other WikiWednesday meetups, except that its primary function is to elect a new Board of Directors. We will elect three board seats, half of the elected seats on the board. After being elected, those elected can potentially appoint more seats.

We will also focus on the Wikimedia NYC Strategic Plan, our Financial Report, and Annual and Monthly event teams for the coming year.

Election info:

  • To run for election or to vote, you must be a dues-paying member of Wikimedia New York City, having renewed in the past 12 months.
  • Voting will be both online, via emailed ballots from the ElectionBuddy service, and in-person.
  • The poll will be open for the 48 hours between 8pm EDT on September 23 and 8pm EDT on September 25.
  • For additional information, please consult the Election FAQ.

Meeting info:

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct.

Stanley Shaftel

[edit]

Hi @Infrastorian:, How goes it. I'm reviewing this article and can't see why it is notable. The NY article is paid for obit and usually you two obits + other coverage to show the person is notable. Why is this person notable? I can't see it unfortunately. scope_creepTalk 13:05, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Shaftel was a highly prominent, famous architect with significant coverage in the media, best known for his large-scale residential projects and work for the 1964-65 NY World's Fair. There are a significant amount of additional sources and information from major papers/publications (and by that I mean academic & non-trivial – along with ample secondary, reliable sources from major publications) that can be added. I would not have created the article had there not been sufficient notability. Additional obituary(ies) (which do exist) can be added to the article. I will continue to add information and sources to it in the near future. -Infrastorian (talk) 20:10, 13 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
