Art+Feminism, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5pm[edit]  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. Here is the Jacob Lawrence Gallery event page.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos[edit]
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, etc., but there is much more to be done. For instance,
Many of the photos that still need work are in commons:Category:Seattle or commons:Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and properly belong in subcategories. Others are in maintenance categories such as commons:Category:Images from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Collection to check or commons:Category:Images from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company Photographs Collection to check. There are probably many other images that need similar work, but these are a few obvious places to look. Also, in a few cases, Curtis or someone else in that era may have shot images that constitute a panorama, but no one has ever "stitched" them together into a unified image and uploaded it. If you have been editing Wikipedia and are curious about what you could do within Wikimedia Commons besides just take photos and upload them, this would be an excellent place to start!
Besides a long list who have responded via Eventbrite…

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm[edit]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. 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. Dan Paz is an artist and 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.

There has been a lot of talk in the Wikipedia community about producing more video. I have a friend in Seattle who is a videographer and amateur filmmaker. She is planning to attend this meetup and bring her camera. Could one of you, any of you, all of you be prepared to give a short presentation on anything Wikipedia related so that she can record you? I am floating the idea that a videographer would be useful to have at Wikipedia events, both to capture presentations by scheduled speakers and also to give any Wikipedian the opportunity to present in a video. If anyone would be willing to be recorded then I would appreciate it. Perhaps plan to speak for 3 minutes explaining any Wikipedia topic when you are in a corner of Allegro and the camera is stationary on you. In the longer term, I am hoping that there can be assistance in helping Wikipedians film video with slidesets, as here. Thanks.

You don't need to know anything about programming or data science to participate. If you do already know a little Python, please consider registering as a mentor—these workshops require a lot of individual mentorship to work, and it's a lot of fun (and you might still learn something!).

Are these Seattle meetup pages archived? If not, they probably should, especially if they are related to the Cascadia user group. I know we will discuss the website this evening, but I wonder if we might also want to have a designated page here at English Wikipedia for Cascadia-related notes, meetups, activities, etc. Of course, already have the Meta-Wiki page, so that may be overkill. I imagine most of our activities will take place here, though. ---Another Believer (Talk) 20:00, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Community Data Science Workshops[edit]I'm helping Benjamin_Mako_Hill with a series of programming workshops at UW, focused on learning how to use data science tools & methods to explore large public datasets. Because we are who we are, we'll be working with a lot of Wikipedia data. The workshops will take place on three saturdays between April and May. Participation is free and open to the public. You don't have to have any experience with programming, science, etc. to participate—that's kind of the point, in fact. Signup instructions are on the website! Ping me or Mako if you have questions.

Wikimedia Research & Data Hackathon, November 9th, 2013[edit]Hi all! First off, it was great to meet you today and/or see you again. I'm thrilled that my first Seattle Meetup was so well-attended and interesting. I mentioned during the event that I'm coordinating the Seattle Research & Data Hackathon on Saturday, November 9th. This inaugural research hackathon will be a relatively informal event: there's a broad proposed agenda here, but we can really make the day whatever we want. Probably topics of conversation/collaboration include:
The hackathon is for both interested local Wikipedians and students and researchers from UW. The event will be held semi-concurrently with other hackathons in Minnesota, San Francisco, the UK, and elsewhere, hosted by WMF researchers and Wikipedians from around the world. There will be open IRC channels and Google Hangouts throughout the day so that we can share ideas and even collaborate with the other sites and with Wikipedians who don't have a hackathon in their area. Afterwards, I'd be happy to re-convene somewhere on the Ave for food and drink. Please sign up, spread the word, and let me know if you have any questions! I look forward to seeing you at next months' meetup if not sooner. Cheers, - J-Mo Talk to Me Email Me 05:24, 9 October 2013 (UTC)

Meeting summary - We toured the site with new users and reviewed each others' work. We talked about how to get access to copyrighted journal articles by using community resources such as libraries. Wikipedia Loves Libraries - October 2011[edit]Tuesday October 25, 7-9pm Allegro Coffee in University District A Google map of Allegro Coffee is here. Wikipedia is encouraging local communities to organize Wikipedia Loves Libraries events this October. The primary topic for discussion is creating or improving the Wikipedia articles about local library resources so that researchers can use Wikipedia as a tool by means through which they can find reference materials. Seventh meetup[edit]Saturday, June 25, 2011 - Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle7 You ought to be outside picnicking anyway, so why not go to a place with other Wikipedians doing the same thing? Wikipedia is promoting June 25 as an international Wikipedia picnic day, the Wikipedia:Wiknic! Reddit, another popular information website, has an active Seattle community which was already organizing a picnic at Golden Gardens Park on this day. Their organizers have asked Wikipedians to join in and share common interests in information sharing, the beach, and barbecue. The link to the Reddit picnic can be found here. Please join! Sixth meetup[edit]Sessions: April 8 and April 18, 2009 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle6 for a more detailed account of this meetup. Note that this is to gather Wikipedians, but not in the traditional style of a meetup. Our research group, from the University of Washington (Seattle campus), is looking for user input to help design an application that will eventually be released to the Wikipedia community. Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle6 for more information. Fifth meetup[edit]tentative: June 19, 2008 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle5 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Participants came from a geographic area ranging from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia. Topics of discussion included:
After initially gathering at the coffee cart we moved to the 10th floor, under the slanted roof designed by Rem Koolhaas We also tried our hands at Michael Snow's Wikipedia quiz. At six o'clock most of us adjourned to have dinner in Seattle's International District, at a Chinese restaurant, Hing Loon.
