Call for presentations for WikiConference North America 2022 and OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA

This is a call for presentations by EOD, Sunday, October 15, for WikiConference North America (Nov 11-13), held jointly with OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA. We encourage you to please submit your Wikipedia and Wikimedia proposals at Wikiconference:2022/Submissions or OpenStreetMap US proposals at Call for Proposals: WikiConference North America + Mapping USA. We are sending this mass message to you because we deduced that you may be in North America and interested in maps in Wikimedia or Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap, or OpenHistoricalMaps. We are looking for lightning talks in particular on Friday, Nov 11. Some suggestions:

  • Cultural similarities and differences, for instance OpenStreetMap and Wikivoyage (map and describe what you know) versus Wikipedia (verify with citations)
  • Type of licensing for each project and how they differ: OpenStreetMap, Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia
  • The flow of information from one project into another, and how maps are generated
  • How OpenHistoricalMap works and possible interactions with Wikimedia projects
  • Your ideas!

Thanks; Orangemike it was a well done little piece. What I liked best was that I was included in just a tiny and trivial passage; my performance in the actual interview was more substantial but dismal in quality. What I disliked was the suggestion that WP is intended to archive the whole of worldwide literature. No, that's somebody else; we're just trying to present a summary.

Hi Jim

[edit]

My name is Meg Miller, I'm an editor for Are.na where we put out an Annual book series. In the forthcoming book, we have a conversation between two Wikipedians, and one of them mentioned something about you that I thought was fascinating: they said that your retirement plan is essentially biking around New York City each day with the goal of taking a photo of every single building and uploading them to Commons. It intrigued me because I'm also a writer, and thought that sounded like an interesting seed of a story. If you're interested in talking to me (very casually) about this, would you please email me at mmill06@gmail.com? 68.198.128.244 (talk) 01:52, 14 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Happy holidays!

[edit]
Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Jim!

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 \\ 18:40, 22 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for attending! Wiki World's Fair - Your complimentary shirt!
Thank you User:Jim.henderson for attending the Wiki World's Fair at the Queens Museum in August! A round of applause to all who attended, socialized, gave lightning talks, edited, listened, and toured the Panorama of the City of New York. Thank you to Xavier Robles-Armas and the Queens Museum for having us. For the first time in Wikimania history, we held a T-shirt design contest during the event to generate a shirt for the conference. We are excited to announce we have produced a shirt with the winning design by User:Bagelpigeon. As previously announced, the shirts will be given, free of charge, to those that attended the conference. You are a confirmed attendee and now is your chance to claim your free shirt! If you want a shirt, we need your size!

What size are you? Please fill out this Google form or email: Wil@Wikimedianyc.org (One "L") Once we have everyone's size and we will order them and distribute them at local meet-ups or via mail. If you are out of town, please include your mailing address. The shirts will be available Feb or later.

(User:Pharos, seen here wearing a size large)

Please let us know by January 15 or come to Wikipedia Day 2023 at the Jefferson Market Library and let us know in person!
