Told you so
I knew I would get back to it. Beast(ha) Best Regards, Barbara (WVS) ✐ ✉ 17:49, 7 February 2018 (UTC)

Can I help?
Hi Amanda! I noticed you are participating in the Art+Feminism meetup in Seattle. Although I'm one of the Cascadia Wikimedians, I couldn't make it in person, but am trying to help as I can. Can I move the Victoria Haven draft from your sandbox or do anything else for you? ☆ Bri (talk) 22:47, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- Yes please! I'd love for someone to take over Victoria Haven's draft! I'm currently working on Tschabalala Self if you want to help there too. (Like, how do I connect it to the existing Wikidata item?) All help is much appreciated. --Mssemantics (talk) 22:50, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- Okay, I moved the draft to Victoria Haven and added some categories. Am reaching out for help on trimming the history left from your earlier sandbox work. I suppose if we don't trim it, it's no big problem. ☆ Bri (talk) 23:42, 24 February 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! No worries about trimming the history. --Mssemantics (talk) 23:44, 24 February 2018 (UTC)

Need email from Katie McCurdy
Could you ask Katie McCurdy to send an email giving permission her photograph of Tschabalala Self? You can find instructions here. Thanks. Otherwise, patrollers will eventually have the image deleted from Commons. ☆ Bri (talk) 02:08, 26 February 2018 (UTC)
- Done! --Mssemantics (talk) 03:12, 26 February 2018 (UTC)

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm
 | ||
 the meetup page for Art+Feminism. |
Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge, yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.
This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design, an artist, and an educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent. Everyone is welcome. Access to UW WiFi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. Please check the Facebook event page for updates. When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm |

Invitation to participate in study
Hello,
I am E. Whittaker, an intern at Wikimedia with the Scoring Team to create a labeled dataset, and potentially a tool, to help editors deal with incivility when they encounter it on talk pages. A full write-up of the study can be found here: m:Research:Civil_Behavior_Interviews. We are currently recruiting editors to be interviewed about their experiences with incivility on talk pages. Would you be interested in being interviewed? I am contacting you because of your involvement in Wikipedia’s Women in Red project. The interviews should take ~1 hour, and will be conducted over BlueJeans (which does allow interviews to be recorded). If, so, please email me at ewhit@umich.edu in order to schedule an interview.
Thank you Ewitch51 (talk) 20:24, 20 June 2018 (UTC)
Just checking in
Seeing how goes it? -RoyBoy 22:15, 17 July 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks for checking in, RoyBoy. I am behind on so many things right now, but also trying (somewhat successfully) to give myself some breathing room! I hope you're happy and well! --Mssemantics (talk) 22:48, 17 July 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos
  |
Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.
Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link. When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM |
Atari women
Hi. Have any of the applicable women's names been uploaded to Wikidata? If so, would love to see how they are modeled there, and to run a Listeria SPARQL query for Women in Red. If someone were to create an item for the Atari Women organization (e.g. similar to this one), we could tag all the Atari women items with "on focus list of Wikimedia project" = Atari Women, which could produce blue link and redlink lists. Just a thought. --Rosiestep (talk) 18:04, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
- Hi Rosiestep! We've just gotten started, so we haven't uploaded anything to Wikidata yet, but these are great ideas, and I'll get around to it (or recruit someone to get around to it) ASAP. Thank you! --Mssemantics (talk) 19:05, 22 May 2019 (UTC)
