    • Update, expand and translate d:Wikidata:Introduction to make it easier for newcomers to understand what Wikidata is all about.
    • Hack on one of these.

7 World Trade Center

[edit]

Hi Aude...maybe you can figure this out better than I and since you brought the article to FA, thought it might interest you anyway even if you're not interested in editing it. On the 7 World Trade Center article, it seems confusing that some sources list it to be 49 stories and some 52 stories. An edit was just made that links to a RS that claims 52 but it conflicts with another RS that says 49 and 1 below ground....I'll simply link a few refs for you...this one seems to be the most substantive about the stories...this one is from Silverstein Properties...this one says floors above ground and is widely used in the top section of the article. Not being much of an architect, is there a difference between stories and floors? I assume there must be.--MONGO 14:22, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I still think 52 is correct. The architects say 52 [1], CTBUH says 52 here [2] and the 50-52 floors have tenants. [3] --Aude (talk) 15:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Okay....sounds good...hope all is great with you.--MONGO 20:27, 31 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

An exciting month of wiki events!

[edit]

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever Open Government WikiHack with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Adrianne Wadewitz edit-a-thons in Southern New England

As you may have already heard, the Wikipedia community lost an invaluable member of the community last month. Adrianne Wadewitz was a feminist scholar of 18th-Century British literature, and a prolific editor of the site. As part of a worldwide series of tributes, New England Wikimedians, in conjunction with local institutions of higher learning, have created three edit-a-thons that will be occurring in May and June. The events are as follows:

We hope that you will be able to join us, whether you are an experienced editor or are using Wikipedia for the first time.
