Another Toronto Wikipedian
[edit]Hi, I'm a newbie to Wikipedia. I've created a new username; I left a message as oreopoj before on the Wikimedia Canada page, but I couldn't remember my login so I just created a new account. I'm still learning how to use the wiki environment. Anyways, I live in the downtown core, pretty close to the university. I'm a masters student in biomedical engineeing, but I have an undergraduate backgound in physics from McMaster. Say hi to me on my discussion page.--Johnoreo 07:09, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
- Hi Johnoreo, welcome! Just so you know, U of T almost got the 2006 Wikimania convention, it wasn't Harvard stepping in at the last minute. We should probably start planning a invitation message on Meta, for Wikimedia Canada, to try and get the entire Canadian Wikimedian community involved. -- user:zanimum
Hi, thanks a lot for that clarification. --hydkat 18:51, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
April - National Contribution Month
[edit]During the month of April, Wikimedia Canada is preparing the National Contribution Month, and we are looking for experienced contributors to organize a contribution day (or half-day) in their region.
Contribution days are activities where Wikipedia's contributors, students, or anybody interested in contributing to Wikipedia meets together to collectively improve a predetermined theme. This meetings generally take place in library where references are easy of access, but can be organized in any communal room. Beside improving articles, a goal of this participatory workshops is to initiate neophyte in the cooperative contribution of Wikipedia.
If you are interested in organizing or participating in a contribution day in your region, communicate witht he national team on the project's talk page. The exact agenda of each local event is left to the discretion of the organizer. Help is available for the organization from contributors who already organized these type of days, so don't be worried. If you have any questions or want more information, don't hesitate to contact us.Amqui (talk) 00:43, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
