Hi Wiki-Yorkers, We are reaching out as part of our community-building efforts at Wikimedia NYC. Our regional group is engaged in a strategic planning process to sharpen our strategy for the next three years, and we would like your input. Given your connection to us and your experience with Wikimedia NYC, I would be grateful if you would be willing to share some of your perspectives and insights as we think about our next chapter. Attached is an anonymous survey, which will remain active until February 28. Responses will go directly to Barretto Consulting and the Wikimedia NYC board will receive responses in aggregate and to identify cross-cutting themes. Please take some time to answer it and share your thoughts with us.
Thank you so much. We appreciate all your ideas and community spirit. | |

Map of Christchurch
[edit]-
Wellington Region
Hello @DutchTreat, last year you created the Wellington Region map for me (as shown above) and I was wondering if you could do something similar for the Christchurch District (Christchurch City Council) in the same format? No worries if not. Cheers, Kezyfooty (talk) 13:03, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @Kezyfooty: Glad to help with this. I'm finishing another map, plus have a few other commitments. Thus, will need a few weeks or a month before I can start to address your request. Hope that time frame suits your needs. Take care, DutchTreat (talk) 21:41, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @DutchTreat Yeah that's absolutely fine mate. That would be great, no rush to have that done. Thanks heaps, Kezyfooty (talk) 23:13, 21 February 2022 (UTC)
- @DutchTreat: Hope you are well. Are you still happy and able to help with this. If so would you be able to give me a rough time frame? Still no big rush on this though. Thanks Kezyfooty (talk) 11:31, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- Gladly! Let me prioritize your request. Please help me understand "Christchurch District. Will the map represent the relation 2730349 on OpenStreetMap? If yes, my goal would be to get you a first draft map by early next week, around Monday 25th to Wednesday 27th. DutchTreat (talk) 15:17, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Kezyfooty: ping - DutchTreat (talk) 15:33, 20 April 2022 (UTC)
- @DutchTreat: yes that would be perfect! Thanks so much, Kezyfooty (talk) 11:07, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Kezyfooty: Please try {{Location map}} with "New Zealand Christchurch district". Give me your feedback on if this will suit your needs. - DutchTreat (talk) 16:53, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- @DutchTreat: That looks great thanks. Would you be able to make a slightly thicker border between the yellow and the grey area as you did with the Wellington map above? Apart from that I'm very happy thank you, Kezyfooty (talk) 23:10, 21 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Kezyfooty: Sure. Next week, I will work on changing the line thickness of the border. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:05, 22 April 2022 (UTC)
- @Kezyfooty: Increased linewidth of the city boundary. Please let me know if you have any other changes in mind. - DutchTreat (talk) 11:35, 1 May 2022 (UTC)

The Survey of Palestine was the government department responsible for the survey and mapping of Palestine during the period of British Mandatory Palestine. The survey department was established in 1920 in Jaffa, and moved to the outskirts of Tel Aviv in 1931. It established the Palestine grid. In early 1948, the British mandate appointed a temporary director general of the Survey Department for the impending Jewish state; this became the Survey of Israel. The maps produced by the survey have been widely used in "Palestinian refugee cartography" by scholars documenting the 1948 Palestinian exodus, notably in Salman Abu Sitta's Atlas of Palestine and Walid Khalidi's All That Remains. This composite map of the region of Palestine was assembled from twenty-four separate 1:100,000 sheets published by the Survey for Palestine and its successor, the Survey of Israel, between 1942 and 1958.

Happy holidays!
[edit]
Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, DutchTreat!
The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 19:39, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
