Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos


First Hill, Seattle, c. 1903, showing intersection of Columbia St and Summit Ave, Seattle, a panorama built from three Asahel Curtis photographs.
In the Seattle area?

Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115

Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done.

For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos.

Women's suffrage in Washington

Hi, nice to meet you on the WALRUS call tonight. Not sure if you saw -- I sent you a link on the Etherpad, that might interest you: Woman Suffrage in Washington Territory (part of the book The Souvenir of Western Women, which has lots of other relevant bits, too.) I've been transcribing this on Wikisource. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 03:02, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Plexuss.com

Hi there. Just following up on your comment here. The reason I wrote that that source is a Wikipedia mirror is that it states at the bottom of the page that its source is Wikipedia. Perhaps mirror was the wrong characterisation, but it's definitely a case of circular referencing. Cordless Larry (talk) 15:10, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Cordless Larry, thank you for reverting me. I depend on my fellow editors to correct my (hopefully infrequent) mistakes. It was late at night, & I was hurried to get citations in before sleeping, & did not do my due diligence in vetting what was, in hindsight, obviously an inferior source. However, I am pretty good at spotting mirrors (all mirrors may be circular, but not all circular sources are mirrors), & knew it was not one because it had a different image & somewhat different phrasing. That said, I knew we still needed a better source, & I was glad I could provide a source from the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians. Peaceray (talk) 21:22, 1 February 2019 (UTC)

Flagged Changes Made to Opportunity (Rover) Page

Can you tell me which part I need to add a citation for? I tried to follow what was there when I got there as far as citations. The only thing I changed that was cited I updated the citation to a new source. Lordbug2000 (talk) 18:18, 13 February 2019 (UTC)

@Lordbug2000: You are correct in that you did place a citation, although that citation failed to document the official end of the mission & only referred to the speculative end. It was thus technically an improper citation. Nevertheless, I have removed the warning. Please avoid jumping the gun & posting speculative material in the future.

Wrong Username on GLAM/Washington State Historical Society

Greetings, I'm the the project coordinator for WP:GLAM/Indiana Historical Society. My recent edit to remove my username from the WP:GLAM/Washington State Historical Society's project page, listing me as its project coordinator, was recently reverted. I see that you were also making chages to that particular page. Could you let the Washington Historical Society's WP coordinator(s) know about the need for the change? Or, I'll be happy to contact them directly if you know who they are. Thanks for your help.Rosalina523 (talk) 16:22, 26 February 2019 (UTC)

Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College

Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week, anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.

New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM

Art+Feminism
For more info see
the meetup page
for Art+Feminism
.
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.

Please create a Wikipedia account before the event.

RSVP through this Facebook event link.

When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, WA 98105
Event Sponsors: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, School of Art + Art History + Design

Thanks for fixing vandalised articles BigCatJetZ (talk) 19:04, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Hi, Thank You

Hi, I just got your message and would like to talk about the change you undid. I want to thank you for taking the time and appreciate your neutral opinion.

The existing claim has a source that is invalid from 2003 and 2004 on the line I changed. There is currently a 20 year legal litigation surrounding Acharya situation and the sources currently cited were accusations that were proven false below: https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Sadhus-sex-CD-Vanzara-rebuked-for-biased-probe/articleshow/29737179.cms

Same news medias follow up to the current source you reverted back too stating that the entire accusation was thrown out because the probe was conducted by a biased and corrupt official without valid proof. The court threw out the entire case.

I am trying to clear up some misinformation on who the active acting Acharya is and based on the Desh Vibagh Lekh(I updated that page as well): https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.128798983854761.23739.128797367188256

Unfortunately, I am still looking for an English translation from 1903 but above is the original Sanskrit letter head saying that only the Acting Acharya has the right to place his successor as the next Acharya. Rakesh was appointed by a Mahasabha concept he created himself that is being debated in court for 20 years and NO court order exists that appoints him as Acharya. As per the lekh which is the governance document of the Swaminarayan Sect, only Ajendraprasad can appoint his replacement which he has not done.

There is still no official resolution to the removal of Ajendraprasad as Acharya so I am asking for you to revert the claim on this page to show him as the Acharya until there is a high court judgement and supreme court judgement that finalizes if he has been replaced. Until he is officially replaced, he still holds the position. He was deposed from the temple committee and that is currently in litigation in court which is different the Acharya title.

I am still learning how to contribute to Wiki the right way and greatly appreciate your patience and help. Let me know if the above makes sense and if you have any pointers on how I should cite/ word this based on the more modern sources of information and events. Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kbhatt22 (talkcontribs) 01:18, 17 June 2019 (UTC)

Kbhatt22, Use the Times of India citation to verify your change.
<ref name="The Times of India 2014">{{cite web |title=Sadhu's sex CD: Vanzara rebuked for biased probe - Ahmedabad News |website=The Times of India |date=2014-02-02 |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ahmedabad/Sadhus-sex-CD-Vanzara-rebuked-for-biased-probe/articleshow/29737179.cms |access-date=2019-06-17}}</ref>
There were two problems with the www.swaminarayanvadtalgadi.org/about-us/acharyas/ site that you used as a citation.
  1. According to Wikipedia:Reliable sources, it fails as a reliable source: "Articles should be based on reliable, third-party, published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy." swaminarayanvadtalgadi.org is clearly not a third-party or independent source.
  2. When I attempt to go to www.swaminarayanvadtalgadi.org/about-us/acharyas/, I get a message:
    "Warning: Potential Security Risk Ahead

    Firefox detected a potential security threat and did not continue to www.swaminarayanvadtalgadi.org. If you visit this site, attackers could try to steal information like your passwords, emails, or credit card details.
    "
    swaminarayanvadtalgadi.org is thus a compromised site that is not safe to which to send Wikipedia readers.
Also, you reference a link to Facebook in your message to me. Facebook is user generated content and is unacceptable as a reliable source.
Again, use the Times of India source. This is good for your intended purpose. I also encourage you to include other reliable sources, even if they are in another language other than English, such as Gujarati, Hindi, or Urdu.
Peaceray (talk) 05:37, 17 June 2019 (UTC)


Ok, I will use that citation The error message you are getting is because the HTTPS cert has expired. I don't know anyone that manages that site but thatsjust a cert renewal. Browsers check those since 2018 for security. Thank you for your guidance and I will start using third party sources to cite going forward.

July 14, 2-7pm: Annual NYC Wiki-Picnic @ Roosevelt Island

You are invited to join us at the "picnic anyone can edit" in the lovely Southpoint Park on Roosevelt Island, as part of the Great American Wiknic celebrations being held across the USA. Remember it's a wiki-picnic, which means potluck.

This year the Wiknic will double as a "Strategy Salon" (more information at Wiknic page), using open space technology to address major questions facing our social movement.

2–7pm - come by any time!
Our picnicking area is at Southpoint Park, south of the tram and subway, and also just south of the Cornell Tech campus.
Look for us by the Wikipedia / Wikimedia NYC banner!

Celebrate our 13th year of wiki-picnics! We hope to see you there! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Wikimedia New York City Team 21:37, 6 July 2019 (UTC)

Hello Peaceray, this is kamzcoo, trying to learn this Wikipedia editing stuff while juggling my law practice, etc.

If you have a moment, I would like for you to google or research the Loy Watanabe v. Kamehameha Schools cases, please.

Also, the State of Hawaii v. Gabriel Alisna cases.

And, just last month, the State of Hawaii v. James Maeda cases.

Now, any suggestions how to insert or update the Wikipedia page to reflect these cases as it bears on fairly and accurately depicting the “culture” there today at Kamehameha Schools?

Mahalo,

Kamzcoo — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kamzcoo (talkcontribs) 16:32, 16 July 2019 (UTC)

Kamzcoo For start, I recommend going to https://scholar.google.com/ & clicking on the Case law button. Loy Watanabe & Kamehameha did not produce anything, but Watanabe Kamehameha - Google Scholar did.
More later ...

Hi, Seeking for Help

I have written and published Sanjiv Puri's page as I notice his notability. I don't edit Wikipedia to get paid. How I can prove, please suggest. Piboc (talk) 13:45, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

@Piboc: I have asked a fellow editor who is very familiar with undisclosed paid editing to have a look. The accusing editor, Meeanaya, has not offered any proof behind the accusations. I have asked Meeanaya for further explanation on the talk page. Peaceray (talk) 23:31, 20 July 2019 (UTC)

It's the last weekend for Camp: Notes on Fashion, and we will have an intro talk to the exhibit by a guest from the Costume Institute, and participants will then be able to visit it on their own. Galleries will be open this evening until 9 pm.

With refreshments, and there will be a wiki-cake!

Open to everyone at all levels of experience, wiki instructional workshop and one-on-one support will be provided.

12:30pm - 4:30 pm at Uris Center for Education, Metropolitan Museum of Art (81st Street entrance) at 1000 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan

[Camila Cabello Personal life section]

What kind of edit is this? People can feel anything they want, but Wikipedia isn't a gossip magazine. How can you add this to a celebrity page?

"Many people feel that it is fake, citing such things as the fact that there was a story published about their “steamy“ encounter at the VMAs before the VMAs even happened."

Do you know writers pre-draft their articles beforehand, on what they expect to happen; so, they can publish them as soon as events are over? Please, be careful adding wrong information without legitimate sources and opinion based. I'll leave it to you to delete it.

JulieSanz (talk) 08:13, 16 September 2019 (UTC)

@JulieSanz: Even though The Guardian calls Cabello/Mendes, a "bad fauxmance", I believe that there is enough to qualify as reliable sources such as:
  • Bonner, Mehera (2019-07-30). "Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello's Relationship Timeline". Cosmopolitan.com. Retrieved 2019-09-17. {{cite web}}: Invalid |ref=harv (help)
As to whether this is or is not gossip, I believe that is better discussed Talk:Camila Cabello so that editors can reach concensus.
I think the characterization of this as "fake news" is inaccurate, & again, best discussed at Talk:Camila Cabello.

AfroCine: Join the Months of African Cinema this October!

Greetings!

After a successful first iteration of the “Months of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000.

The AfroCine Project welcomes you to October, the first out of the two months which have been dedicated to creating and improving content that centre around the cinema of Africa, the Caribbean, and the diaspora. Join us in this global edit-a-thon, by helping to create or expand articles which are connected to this scope. Also remember to list your name under the participants section.

On English Wikipedia, we would be recognizing participants in the following manner:

  • Overall winner (1st, 2nd, 3rd places)
  • Diversity winner
  • Gender-gap fillers

For further information about the contest, the recognition categories and how to participate, please visit the contest page here. For further inquiries, please leave comments on the contest talkpage or on the main project talkpage. See you around :).--Jamie Tubers (talk) 00:50, 30 September 2019 (UTC)

Request for Collaboration

Hi. I am a rather new editor here, and I wanted to write a page about Gesa Credit Union. I can do the writing part, but I am not quite sure how to upload images. I noticed that one of your userboxes said that you lived in Washington, so I thought maybe you would know a little bit about Gesa. Could you either 1) Direct me to a page where I can learn about images, and/or 2) Upload the needed images to the page. You can find my draft at my sandbox (My sandbox) Thank you so much! Puddleglum2.0👌 (talk) 21:38, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Puddleglum2.0, let's start first with what images that you want to upload. I imagine the credit union logo is one. What others? Peaceray (talk) 21:45, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Yes. I was thinking definitely the logo, and then probably a picture of the headquarters. I'm sorry, I forgot to say in the first message, if you do t have time for this, that's totally fine, I was just wondering. ☺ Puddleglum2.0👌 (talk) 21:50, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Let me address this this evening when I am home. Corporate logos require special treatment. Peaceray (talk) 21:54, 15 October 2019 (UTC)
Cool, thank you so so much! Puddleglum2.0👌 (talk) 22:18, 15 October 2019 (UTC)

Puddleglum2.0 Hi, here is the process to upload a corporate logo to English Wikipedia.

  1. Write your draft first, either in your sandbox (see Help:My sandbox) or in the Draft namespace.
    1. Add a {{Infobox company}} template. For an example on how to do this, look at the code for BECU.
  2. Downloading, possibly resizing, & uploading a logo image
    1. Please read WP:Image resolution. Because logos are not-free content, they should be less than 100,000 pixels (0.1 megapixels).
    2. Download the image. Its current name is logo.png; I would save it as Gesa Credit Union logo.png. The Portable Network Graphics (.png) format is fine.
    3. Open up the image in a graphics editor, like Paint on MS Windows or something similar, as long as you can resize the image & display what the pixel height & width are.
    4. Use the IMAGE RESIZE CALCULATOR to determine if the logo is below 100,000 pixels. I can tell you that this logo already is, but future non-free images that you may want to upload may not be.
    5. Look at the code for File:Foster School of Business logo.png as an example. You can look at the code here.
      1. Include the {{Non-free use rationale logo}} in the Summary section for your uploaded image. Add values to the Article, Use, Website, & Source parameters.
      2. Include {{Non-free logo|image has rationale=yes|auto=yes}} in the Licensing section.
      3. In your draft article, add Gesa Credit Union logo.png, or whatever you will call it, as the value to the logo parameter in the Infobox company template.

For uploading & using an image that you have created yourself

  1. Follow the directions at commons:Special:UploadWizard to upload.
  2. For an instruction about what to copy & paste after uploading the file, click on the
Use this file
in the middle of the top.

For a lot more information on using images in Wikipedia, please see Help:Pictures.

I have read both policies & am in disagreement with some of your interpretation. I see that you apparently do not know to read or leave an edit summary, & I find this to be disruptive. Peaceray (talk) 13:53, 7 November 2019 (UTC)
Interpretations - I see your English degree is virtually worthless. Have you read MOS about ampersands? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.58.125.10 (talk) 14:56, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
Seriously, you expect me to take grammar advice from someone who applies lower case to specific degrees that should be in title case? No can do! As for my use of the & symbol, MOS:MOS applies only to the article space, not to the talk space or comments.
You may wish to reference Help:Talk pages so you know the appropriate talk page etiquette for indenting your comments.
BTW, thanks for the serial comma on Marjorie Merriweather Post. I missed that one.

The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with Wikipedia Asian Month for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of Asia. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.

12:30 pm - 4:30 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education
81st Street entrance, Metropolitan Museum of Art, 1000 Fifth Avenue

Thanks for uploading File:GAPPS logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Help with Adoption

Hi There Peaceray!

You reached out to me on my talk page, welcoming me to Wikipedia. I really appreciate your help and could use a friend in the Wiki community.

I have reviewed all of the Getting Started material, and even reached out to someone for adoption. With no response, I was hoping you might be able to help (or even adopt me!)

A bit about my specific field of interest: I am looking to make an impact in the realm of Communications, a fervent passion of mine. In a world that is currently facing unprecedented disaster and large-scale problems, I'm hoping to make a difference by teaching others about the power of effective communication. In my humble opinion, nearly any problem can be solved through effective communication. If we can learn to effectively communicate and love one another with without judgment, maybe humans can finally come together to choose to protect life above all else.

I want to specifically make edits to, and improve pages related to human connection and communication. Eventually, I'd like to take a shot at creating a page or two!

Looking forward to hearing back from you. Would that be on my talk page?
