NARA DOCUMERICA color correction

Hi Dominic! Color correcting the NARA DOCUMERICA images was recently suggested as a fellowship project. I expect this idea isn't a perfect fit for the WMF fellowship program for a few reasons, one being that it falls under the umbrella of amazing GLAM volunteer work you've already got in progress with NARA. I pointed them towards the NARA restoration page on Commons with a suggestion that they propose these images for color correction there, and this is just a heads up :-) Let me know if you think otherwise?

MSU Interview

Dear Dominic,

My name is Jonathan Obar user:Jaobar, I'm a professor in the College of Communication Arts and Sciences at Michigan State University and a Teaching Fellow with the Wikimedia Foundation's Education Program. This semester I've been running a little experiment at MSU, a class where we teach students about becoming Wikipedia administrators. Not a lot is known about your community, and our students (who are fascinated by wiki-culture by the way!) want to learn how you do what you do, and why you do it. A while back I proposed this idea (the class) to the community HERE, were it was met mainly with positive feedback. Anyhow, I'd like my students to speak with a few administrators to get a sense of admin experiences, training, motivations, likes, dislikes, etc. We were wondering if you'd be interested in speaking with one of our students.

So a few things about the interviews:

• Interviews will last between 15 and 30 minutes.
• Interviews can be conducted over skype (preferred), IRC or email. (You choose the form of communication based upon your comfort level, time, etc.)
• All interviews will be completely anonymous, meaning that you (real name and/or pseudonym) will never be identified in any of our materials, unless you give the interviewer permission to do so.
• All interviews will be completely voluntary. You are under no obligation to say yes to an interview, and can say no and stop or leave the interview at any time.
• The entire interview process is being overseen by MSU's institutional review board (ethics review). This means that all questions have been approved by the university and all students have been trained how to conduct interviews ethically and properly.

Bottom line is that we really need your help, and would really appreciate the opportunity to speak with you. If interested, please send me an email at obar@msu.edu (to maintain anonymity) and I will add your name to my offline contact list. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can post your name HERE instead.

If you have questions or concerns at any time, feel free to email me at obar@msu.edu. I will be more than happy to speak with you.

Thanks in advance for your help. We have a lot to learn from you.

Sincerely,

Jonathan Obar --Jaobar (talk) 05:45, 9 February 2012 (UTC)

A barnstar for you!

If you have the time....

Hi Dominic, if you're not too busy, is there a possibility that you could check that File:GEN Clay Lucius DuBignon Jr.jpg is an official USAF portrait of Lucius D. Clay, Jr. (and possibly get a new scan sans the autograph and update the citation details)? I'm pretty sure it is, but in the past I've had images nommed for deletion on Commons based on the fact that I'm not sure. My guess would be that it would be in:

Record group: Record Group 342: Records of Airforce Commands, Activities and Organizations (ARC identifier: 654)

Series: Photographs of Air Force Officers and Officials, compiled 1960 - 1981

or

Record group: Record Group 342: Records of Airforce Commands, Activities and Organizations (ARC identifier: 654)

Series: KE: Color Photographs of U.S. Air Force Activities, Facilities, and Personnel, Domestic and Foreign, compiled ca. 1940 - ca. 1980

Thanks in advance. – Connormah (talk) 14:45, 14 February 2012 (UTC)

Just remember that you're no longer at NARA. Is there going to be another Wikipedia in Residence coming to NARA soon that can possibly take a look at this? – Connormah (talk) 06:53, 19 February 2012 (UTC)

Arkan Sonney

Any thoughts on whether Arkan Sonney should be on Wikipedia? It seems like Wiktionary material to me. --MZMcBride (talk) 16:45, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
