Welcome!

Baltimore, MD

Hi Phaneros, welcome to Wikipedia. I saw you sign up on the Baltimore photography expedition, which is something I'm pretty excited about. A little while ago, I proposed Sunday 9/23/12 (fast approaching), but no one has responded. Maybe some people would want to do an informal tour on that day? On my Talk Page you can see I have received a photography agenda from (presumably) an out-of-towner. I think that list creates something fun to work with that might not conflict with an 'official' route. Anyway, I hope we'll see more of you, in real life or in cyberspace. It's particularly cool if you're interested in working on Baltimore articles in Wikipedia, since (IMO) they are lacking in quantity & quality!

Hello!

Thanks for your message! I am absolutely interested in coming out this Sunday (9/23) for either tour. The weather forecast is 0% chance of rain, temp in the mid 70's - perfect! The tour posted in your Talk page looks great, but I was wondering if we'd combine that tour with an 'official' one? BTW, I assume this is a walking tour? Or maybe a biking tour? I can do either. Oh, and I'm definitely interested in contributing articles/media about Baltimore! I am brand new (like, two days ago) to any sort of editing, but am totally willing to learn. Do you have any suggestions for article subjects? Take care! Phaneros (talk) 13:31, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Cool. I put up a notice on the Talk Page suggesting a noon meetup at Penn Station. As far as official/unofficial goes: I don't want to hijack someone's project, you know? I just want to go out and take pictures. And the page has been really quiet so it's hard to tell what other people are thinking. I guess the thing to do would just be gather at Penn Station, see who shows up, and decide then what we want to do. Yes, there are many articles to work on; maybe we'll talk more on Sunday. :-) groupuscule (talk) 19:40, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I will meet you by Male/Female in front of Penn Station at noon, then! I'm willing to go wherever the tour takes us - no preferences here. Phaneros (talk) 21:07, 20 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
