Fixed in the Wikidata view. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 12:32, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Number of articles for the Black Lunch Table on all Wikipedias.

This is a list of the number of articles in all Wikipedias.. Do understand that many people do not have an article in English but do have an article in another Wikipedia. Thanks, GerardM (talk) 12:31, 5 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of Rapid Grant proposal for Wikidata QuickSheets - useful in BLP and *gap work

Hello all, I wanted to let you all know that I have submitted a Rapid Grant proposal to further develop software that will semi-automate the process of moving BLP data from Wikipedia to Wikidata. As you will see, it is particularly useful for BLP and *gap work, as it will allow you to quickly source claims. For example, with the proposal to remove all unsourced Ethnic Group (P172) claims. The tool is designed to be accessible to those without programming experience by using simple article lists to generate spreadsheets for human evaluation. This builds on work done as part the Art+Feminism campaign, which is detailed at our workplan where you can see in detail more about how the tool works. I welcome your feedback on the proposal. --Theredproject (talk) 21:45, 3 April 2018 (UTC)[reply]

theblacklunchtable.com

Hi,

I'm not sure how to bring this up, but I noticed that if you click the Wikipedia link on https://theblacklunchtable.com , it keeps you in the same domain when you're brought to the meetup page. This seems a bad practice in general, but the consequence is also that editing is not possible (clicking edit results in a blank page for me (Chrome)), which means signing up is kind of harder. Could the implementation of the link be changed? Thanks! effeietsanders 22:22, 19 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Projects Grant Proposal: Smithsonian Wikimedian-in-Residence for Gender Representation

I wanted to give you a heads-up about a proposal I submitted to establish a Wikimedian-in-Residence for the Smithsonian American Women's History Initiative to catalyze the cultural heritage sector to increase the representation of women on Wikimedia projects while also developing evidence for Smithsonian senior leadership to make an Open Knowledge Coordinator role permanent. The Smithsonian is investing heavily in increasing the resources about American women, focusing on women and girls of color, across its 19 museums and 9 research centers and we would like to develop, test, and share models for making these resources more widely available online. We'd like to partner with you on growing the diversity of the volunteer community on Wikipedia and Wikidata. If you have suggestions or ideas, please chime in on the proposal discussion page. --Digitaleffie (talk) 21:38, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

DJ Lag moved to draftspace

It has come to my attention that members of this meetup are attempting to write an article for DJ Lag. I have moved all content to draftspace to allow this to happen, linked in the title of this thread. Good luck! Jalen Folf (talk) 18:25, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Are there any editors here who could help fix Fabiola Jean-Louis, a promotional effort by her gallerist? Not an expert myself. Vexations (talk) 21:31, 2 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Black Lunch Table and Wiki Loves Pride

Hello! It's awesome that there is a section on Wiki Loves Pride Artists, Wikipedia:Meetup/Black_Lunch_Table/Lists_of_Articles#Wiki_Loves_Pride_Artists, on the List of Articles page. Wikimedia LGBT+ hosts monthly meetings, and would love to have anyone from Black Lunch Table come to an upcoming meeting and talk about crossover work. Feel free to reach out if you are interested or have any questions! Hexatekin (talk) 02:11, 10 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yinka Shonibare

Hello folks, I was uploading some new images of Yinka Shonibare and noticed your project list was mentioned on his Wikidata item, so I'm just dropping them here for your interest. They are part of the project here, which launched his sculpture Hibiscus Rising (images). Thanks Lajmmoore (talk) 12:03, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Recent updates?

It would be great to see updates since 2021 on the About page. Is there a checklist for hosting or supporting a local editathon in our city? – SJ + 23:24, 25 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
