| Wednesday May 23, 7pm: WikiWednesday Salon and Skill-Share NYC | |
|---|---|
  You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-9pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop at Babycastles gallery by 14th Street / Union Square in Manhattan. We will include a look at the organization and planning for our chapter, and expanding volunteer roles for both regular Wikipedia editors and new participants. We will also follow up on plans for recent and upcoming edit-a-thons, museum and library projects, education initiatives, and other outreach activities. We welcome the participation of our friends from the Free Culture movement and from all educational and cultural institutions interested in developing free knowledge projects. After the main meeting, pizza/chicken/vegetables and refreshments and video games in the gallery!
We especially encourage folks to add your 5-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 03:13, 23 May 2018 (UTC) P.S. You are also invited to Action = History: Wikipedia Edit-a-thon for Asian American Literature on Sunday May 27! | |

Extension:Graph and Extension:Kartographer
Hi Yurik, we have a question for you from itwiki. With the introduction of mapframe, can we get rid off the implementation based on Extension:Graph (it:Template:Graph:Street map with marks) and replace it with mapframe or not? Thanks in advance. --Rotpunkt (talk) 16:25, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Hi Rotpunkt! I think that <graph> tag offers much greater flexibility and capabilities than what <mapframe> ever will. Moreover, I actually think those two efforts should merge - so that you are able to draw any kind of data visualizations, including images from Commons and Wikidata query resulttts on top of an interactive map. The code is actually already done, but I think it will be some time before it is integraed into mediawiki. --Yurik (talk) 19:52, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks! Does this mean that we can switch to mapframe (mapframe is simpler and its features are enough for us) and the merge of the two technologies will be done under hood in MediaWiki? --Rotpunkt (talk) 20:40, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
- Well, sure, if mapframe is enough, use it (and yes, I agree it is simpler, but more limited). The merging of the tech won't happen very soon, but hopefully some day :) --Yurik (talk) 00:04, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
- Thanks again! We will stay tuned for the merging. --Rotpunkt (talk) 09:12, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Inactive bot on Latvian Wikipedia
Hello!
As a bureaucrat on Latvian Wikipedia (lvwiki), I was checking the activity of the bots, and noticed that yours had been inactive from at least September 2013. It is not reasonable that an unmonitored account keeps a bot flag, as it may be more easily hacked. If you have any future plans for bot running or want to keep this flag for some other reasons, please make a note at this table. You can also contact me directly via my user talk at User talk:Edgars2007.
If you have no objections or we won't receive any response for a month, we will remove bot flag. Thanks a lot for your previous contributions! --Edgars2007 (talk/contribs) 08:36, 27 May 2018 (UTC)
- @Edgars2007:, no plans to run it in the near future. Thx for keeping an eye on it! --Yurik (talk) 19:29, 28 May 2018 (UTC)
Bot activity on the Dutch Wikipedia
Dear,
Your bot account hasn't made any edits on the Dutch Wikipedia for at least three years. In accordance with the local bot policy the bot flag will be removed in three months. To avoid losing the bot flag, you can confirm you want to retain the bot flag by going to this page.
With kind regards, Kippenvlees1 (talk) 19:05, 29 May 2018 (UTC)
- Kippenvlees1, thx for the ping, please remove, I don't have any near term goals to run it. --Yurik (talk) 03:35, 30 May 2018 (UTC)
