Archives of American Art

Hi Sarah - is this for New York or DC? Do you know the general time frame? I'd like to give a tentative 'yes' but when do you need a definitive response? Hope all is well --David Shankbone 16:34, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi David, thanks for coming by. It's in DC, all the details are located on the event page. Again, only 10 Wikimedians can attend, and people will be moved onto a waitlist. There is no RSVP date, and I will be emailing all who sign up to attend to verify that they are attending a few days in advance. There will be other Smithsonian related Backstage Passes (this Fall), FYI. =) There is also a National Archives event which will take place in early August (I don't know the details, I just know it'll happen). Sorry I can't be of more help! SarahStierch (talk) 16:37, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

-- Sarah: I'd love to come to future events, but I'll be out of town on that day. Let me know if something like this happens again, though. Thanks! LFaraone 17:44, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

-- This is bad ass... wish I could come.... Always thought someone should mine the treasure that is DC museums and you seem to be the person to do it! Let me know of future events please!!! ROCK ON!!! Lwoodyiii (talk) 23:26, 18 July 2011 (UTC)

hi sarah, yes, coming; food for thought: User:Slowking4/Image Rescue Squadron. let me know what you think. it does take away from new article creation, but needs to be done. Slowking4: 7@1|x 21:53, 21 July 2011 (UTC)

I can see "Itcmarketing" as a clear COI editor in the article's history; was there another contributor you've identified as having a COI? Kuru (talk)

I see no remaining artifacts from that account's contributions; with no further clarification from you, I will remove the template from that page. Kuru (talk) 17:22, 23 July 2011 (UTC)

	Congratulations!
	Kaldari pointed out all the work you did on Wadsworth Jarrell, from the article's birth all the way to Good Article status. Thanks so much! Your work is much appreciated. Unfortunately, I'm all out of Senoufo masks... but here's a happy and misguided cat instead. All the best, – Quadell (talk)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:39, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H. R. 4982 A Petition For Universal Suffrage Susan B. Anthony petition for remission of fine Alexander Hamilton's commission to take rank as Colonel 1Credit goes to Prosody, Theornamentalist, Inductiveload, Digipoke, George Orwell III, Kathleen.wright5, BirgitteSB, and Zhaladshar Tools Archives.gov grabber (Slakr) Future plans Major image contribution The National Archives has hundreds of thousands of digitized documents in its holdings. We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts. To stop receiving this newsletter, please remove your name from the list.

SAAM licenses

hi sarah, check this out: Dewey Albinson was a Public Works of Art Project, and all the works produced are with SAAM [9] and PD, but licensed cc-by-1.0 NC ND on flickr [10] was there and now taken down? i am confused. do we need to have this discussion? Slowking4: 7@1|x 18:33, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Wow. They license this stuff, and they want you to pay to use it, which is unfortunate, since it is obviously PD. As are a lot of the images on Flickr. It can be brought up (though the Archives of American Art has NOTHING to do with SAAM decisions) with SAAM if you wish, but, right now I only have time for one institution with annoying copyright restrictions =) Really great example though, and something we have to keep on our mind to discuss in the future. SarahStierch (talk) 18:37, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

here's the exhibition website [11] i am sympathetic to the fremium thesis. (upload thumbnails to commons with reference to their full size for sale). i think a general discussion of image management, showing NARA's release of ansel adams would be productive. [12] i leave the diplomacy to you; i can be bad cop ;> Slowking4: 7@1|x 18:43, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

They are familiar with NARA and all the details, trust me! I just gave a talk about copyright on Wednesday. SAAM folks attended and we have some ideas in the works. Patience =) SarahStierch (talk) 22:21, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

Collaboration between Wikimedians in Residence

Hi Sarah, just read about your meetup today and would like to signal an interest in getting involved this time or in the longer term. I have listed some ideas about how to combine GLAM and OA activities at GLAM/OA and would be particularly interested to establish contact with the scientific divisions at SI. Cheers, ---- Daniel Mietchen 20:51, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I'm excited to see you touch base with Sarah, Daniel, and was thrilled to hear of the Wikimedian in Residence concept broadening for such a great project. Having been the Children's Museum of Indianapolis' Wikipedian in Residence since August 2010, I'm also very interested in Wiki-in-Residence collaborations and would be interested to touch base with you. The Children's Museum is very heavy on the sciences, and strongly supports their Science Port programming that covers many disciplines in order to educate children and families. Wikipedians in Residence are very collaborative folk :). Hope to speak soon - My museum webpage. Wikipedia project page. Commons project page. LoriLee (talk) 18:22, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi from TheBlueWizard!

It was a pleasure chatting with you last night at the meetup. Of course, as a reminder, you can learn about American Sign Language. In that article there is a brief paragraph on grammar with a link to American Sign Language grammar. I hope that clears up the matter. Unfortunately, there is no standard writing system for ASL. The best way to learn ASL is to take a course. Another way is to attend a deaf gathering such as ASL Dinner, which I co-host (see ASL Dinner). Have a nice day! TheBlueWizard (talk) 19:48, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

Thanks

Sarah,

Thanks for your organization of the AAA GLAM event, and please relay my appreciation to all the folks at AAA who participated. Everybody was extremely friendly and professional. My personal difficulties were dealt with extremely well. You've set a standard for other GLAM events to match.

I skipped out of the meetup at the bar afterwards and headed straight for the hotel pool! I did manage to get some Washington photos for NRHP and even a few Public Art pix (but I probably can't use them - Pushkin statue at GWU and Henry Muhlenberg bust in Tenley Park are typical - probably copyrighted)

Thanks again and all the best,

License tagging for File:Ncnw1-1brochurez.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ncnw1-1brochurez.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Wikipedia uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Wikipedia. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.
