IRC

Thanks for your efforts to include me. I read the exchange, but I have no strong opinions yet. I'll be at The Symposium and I'll be interested to hear what the gist of the discussion is on Sunday. I am a very active Wikipedia editor, but I have no bright ideas about organizational issues, and I will need to weigh the discussions before I can form any intelligent opinions. I'll be happy to tell you what I think on Sunday night. If you look at the last meetup page, you'll see my photo. All the best. -- Ssilvers (talk) 00:45, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi Pharos! How did the meet up go? I could not attend despite being in NYC :( Anything on the Hebrew manuscript?--Dwaipayan (talk) 03:51, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Does the deletion of ScienceApologists username, etc. affect the NY group's plans? BTW, aside from his plan, we need more information about what happened at the meeting. Can you beef up the description at the meetup page? All the best, -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:37, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

Move

I think I will move back the article about Judeopolonia to this name, since the name League of East European States doesn't appear on any google search outside of Wikipedia, the term Judeopolonia has been adopted (rightly or wrongly) as the widespread name of this concept. While some may feel discomfort at this, Wikipedia is not a place to judge accepted naming, similar situation is in Polish Corridor article which is a propaganda term that describes an area of Polish administrative region with different name, yet the propaganda name has entered widespread usage. Also a proper move should be be made after voting and discussion. The term Judeopolonia is widespread enough that I thin is notable to have an article on wiki.--Molobo (talk) 04:19, 16 January 2008 (UTC) Perhaps a an article about Attempts to create Jewish state in Central and Eastern Europe ? But at beginning they will be similiar to each other.--Molobo (talk) 04:23, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Re:Wikback

Thanks for the heads-up about this. At the moment interest is a bit low in the PA chapter because of all the delays, so there isn't much to talk about. Plus, i'm trying to be patient and work through all problems we discussed with delphine and the chapcom.

Quite possibly. I actually wasn't the original uploader of this photo. I converted it to PNG format and had the old GIF copy deleted, but it looks like the name of the original uploader was lost in the move to the Commons. —Remember the dot ^(talk) 04:36, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Signpost article

Thanks for your contribution to the Wikipedia Signpost article. I think it was considerably improved by the changes. There are couple of things that I think needed to be corrected, however:

• "according to Ratzinger's 1991 book Turning point for Europe?"

The date of the English translation (Turning point for Europe?) was 1994. The date of the Italian edition (Svolta per l'Europa?) was 1992. Since the Wikipedia article cites the Italian edition, I have gone with that.

• "It is their consideration of the date discrepancy that led L'Osservatore Romano ... "

No. Since they (mistakenly) thought that the date given was correct, it could only have been the discrepancy in the location which they based their conclusions on.

• "The date and location mentioned in the petition could have been based on a later version of the Wikipedia article, which had been altered considerably since the scientists' petition was written."

I don't understand this at all. How can anything in the petition have been based on a version of the Wikipedia article that was not written until later? The original point of this paragraph, which disappeared with your change, was that L'Oservatore Romano must have based its accusations on a later version of the article that was not available when the petition was written. I have restored the original and tried to clarify it.

I have made a few other cosmetic changes which I don't think alters anything of substance. The main one was a shifting of the text

"Ratzinger in fact repeated this speech several times in different cities about this time, and it is possible that the slight difference of wording might reflect a different deliverance of the speech."

to a later part of the article which seemed to me to be a more logical place for it. —David Wilson (talk · cont) 12:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Muhammad Captions & Conjectural Images

I think we agree more than disagree. Certainly there are some who raise the conjectural images innocently enough, but it seems that there are others who persist in arguing against them do to their inaccuracy even after acknowledging that they are conjectural images. While a caption would catch the former, I'm not so sure it would do much to dissuade the latter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MasonicDevice (talk • contribs) 01:07, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Academy

Hey Pharos, while I responded to your Village Pump article, I do want to say that I think your idea is neat and if you feel that the subject of Wine would meet your criteria, the Wine Project would certainly be interested in helping to facilitate the event. We could help the content drive with creating lists of good reliable sources (online & offline), tips on writing wine related articles on different topics (grapes, wine regions, wine history, wineries, wine bios, etc) as well as creating a list of new articles that are needed. The nice thing about wine is that it is such a broad and diverse subject covering everything from history (Colonial British wine trade-responsible for Bordeaux, Maderia, Port & Sherry being famous), literature (Thomas Jefferson and wine), business & law (Three-tier (alcohol distribution) could be expanded as well as articles on various states/countries' wine laws), Science & biology (Winemaking technology and expansions of the grape disease and wine fault sub topics), as well as culinary (Wine in cooking and several splinter articles could come out of Wine and food matching like Wine and cheese). Oh and the Long Island wine article (as well as other New York and New Jersey wine topics) could always use some expanding and local pictures. I think there could be a little something for everyone. :) Agne^Cheese/^Wine 08:21, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

I suppose I should take the lack of reply as a sign of disinterest, but I do want to point out one thing that may interest your group and the students helping. The motivation for a lot of people in Wikipedia is to create something of lasting significance and value that people can use to enrich their lives. While topics like Humanities, Literary History and Academics are certainly important, the "overall impact" that your project will have via its involvement with Wikipedia will be smaller due to the lack of audience. Take for consideration the article traffic for the main topic page in each category.

• Wine - 139,000+ page views in Feb
• Humanities - 26,000+ page views in Feb
• History of Literature - 5000+ page views in Feb
• Academics - 1430+ page views in Feb

Again, while I will not discount the importance of those categories, I think its pretty fair to say that the sizable portion of unwritten and unexpanded wine articles will have a broader audience than those articles in the Humanities, Academics and Literary History sphere. The Columbia University students and your group will have an opportunity for time and effort to have a larger impact and reach more people with a subject like wine. Just some food (or wine :p) for thought. Agne^Cheese/^Wine 16:41, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi Agne. I appreciate your enthusiasm and interest in this project, and I'm going to definitely raise this option when I go to the Columbia Free Culture Meeting tonight. Though I'm not sure if an alcohol topic would be OK with the university, when most of the students will probably be under 21. And, I'm a little skeptical of your numbers above, because people tend to be interested in specific topics in the Humanities (authors, books, artistic movements), rather than the academic discipline itself. But your willingness to help with sources, etc., definitely will count in the Wine Project's favor.--Pharos (talk) 20:13, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Photos and Video from the Meetup

Hi. I went to Wikimedia Commons and signed in so I could upload the pics I took, but there's no "Upload file" function in the left hand menu as there is on the 'pedia. How do you upload files to the Commons? Also, what was the website you had me upload the videos to? Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 04:17, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

I just uploaded the pics to the Commons, and posted 20 of 'em on the 3.16.08 Meetup Page. Btw (shameless plug), I just posted my latest figure drawings on my MySpace page. I'd have to add you as a Friend, but if you're interested, I post them from the sessions I go to every Wednesday night, as well as other artwork too. The ones I just posted are the sixth this year. Thanks. Nightscream (talk) 06:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

Adding names to the photos on Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC

Hi Pharos. A brand new editor, User:Bluelight2b, has reverted some names that Science Apologist added to the photo captions. Do you have an opinion on this? I could add some names from my own recollection (only adding names that are already given elsewhere on the page) but won't do so unless it's clear that it's the right thing to do. Bluelight didn't give any reason for his concern, and hasn't provided an email address. EdJohnston (talk) 03:15, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

I think the issue is that some users like Brad and Josh have followings at WikiReview/WikiTruth. Granted it didn't take Brandt more than a day to ID them from this Meetup's gallery. I'd say leave them blank unless we're certain the person has disclosed their physical identity on-wiki. MBisanz ^talk 17:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Article writing drive

Hi. Any article writing scheme in principal of course is an excellent idea particularly if it is Columbia students. More lecturers and school teachers in my view can use wikipedia as an educational tool not only for reading but for writing practice. As you may be well aware there is significant uneveness all across the project but inevitably some areas are far weaker than others, particularly in relation to the domination of Anglo-Centric/American articles in proportion to the content of the rest of the world. For me personally, geographical articles are very important to an encyclopedia and if you browse through some of the categories of African cities for example the number of articles and indeed depth of them is nowhere near what it could or should be. I doubt very much though that any new articles would have enough references to develop it beyond a stub, but I sincerely hope eventually countries in Africa will develop enough to increase the relaying of info on the web.

What I would recommend however, is to point them to the core list, Wikipedia:The Core Contest/Articles, which lists encyclopedia articles which many of us consider a core article but at present is shockingly lacking either in content, conciseness or quality. Veropedia for one has highlighted some of these articles many of them only a start class which need a great deal of development e.g River Seine etc which should ideally be a lot more detailed. It may of course depend on the subject as some of the teachers/lecturers may recommend work in a given subject. Other than this I would link them to the Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedia articles where there are detailed lists (far from complete though) a missing articles. Also perhaps see the categories which have been tagged as requesting for expansion by populating with new articles; I'm certain there are many.

Other than this I believe as suggested above the focus should be on Non western articles. For me counteracting systematic bias is perhaps the most important goal of this project.

If you have any further questions feel free to give me a bell. Regards ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ ^$1,000,000? 13:27, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia Takes Mahattan Weather Issues, Yet Again

I was aware that the event had been postponed. Well, sorry to be bearer of bad news, but it looks like you will need to postpone the event, yet again :( . Ugh, I know, this may be a pain and all, and you may not believe me, but according to Weather.com, Friday, April 4th, showers are expected. Weather.com, WeatherBug, MyFoxNY.com (WNYW - Fox 5) --Prevalis (talk) 21:18, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

The event is on. No more postponements. Rain or shine.--Pharos (talk) 06:47, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

That's unfortunate. A friend and I intended to participate, but I don't think that we'll be headed up to New York to walk around in the rain and take dreary photographs. I suspect that others will be similarly reluctant, and I hope that this doesn't significantly affect the turnout.

In any case, I wish you the best of luck!  :-) —David Levy 10:29, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a very big event; we have commitments made with Columbia University, and there are reporters coming from the The Wall Street Journal, WNYC New York Public Radio, and maybe The New Yorker. Last time we postponed, and the weather was just fine. Anyway, if there is a bit of rain, it will be light. And you can't really predict the future: if there is at all a possibility of your coming, you and your friend must register here before 8 PM EST.--Pharos (talk) 11:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

This is a very big event; we have commitments made with Columbia University, and there are reporters coming from the The Wall Street Journal, WNYC New York Public Radio, and maybe The New Yorker.

That's understandable. I just hope that the weather doesn't spoil things.

Last time we postponed, and the weather was just fine.

Yeah, I noticed (as I happened to be in New York that day).

Anyway, if there is a bit of rain, it will be light. And you can't really predict the future: if there is at all a possibility of your coming, you and your friend must register here before 8 PM EST.

I'm aware, and I'll be speaking to her about it later today. I don't mind a bit of rain, but she's less tolerant. I already lost my other teammate (who broke his ankle over the weekend), so it's looking iffy. (I wouldn't feel comfortable participating on my own or with a stranger.)

Regardless, I hope that this event is repeated; my other friend (with the broken ankle) is very disappointed about missing out. —David Levy 12:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

If there's even a small chance you can come, you should still register. There's no downside to registering and not coming, but there is a distinct downside to coming and not registering on time (we'll have trouble letting you in).--Pharos (talk) 12:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Any reason why you replaced the perfectly good (I thought, but then I might be biased) image for the Symphony Space article with another one?

I agree that the play should be mentioned in adaptations, the only reason it hasnt been added thus far was because we did not have a reliable reference for it. That said, is there anything more that the book you found this information in said about the adaptation, was it well recieved, where it was originally performed, was it in English or Spanish adaptation? If these details are readily available to you and you wouldn't mind adding a sentence or two about the play adaptation I would really appreciate it.

I don't know if you've been monitoring the mention of this on the COM:Village Pump, but I made a couple suggestions there as to how to possibly preserve as many photos as possible for future use both here and on other language wikis and outside, beyond depicting the event. They deal primarily with how the participants document the code #s that specific locations/objects are tied to. Let me know what you think, since I haven't done one of these yet, so maybe I'm off.

Wikipedia Takes City question

Hi, I'm organizing the Wikipedia Takes Nashville event. I was just wondering how you went about getting sponsors, e.g. O'Reilly Media. Any other advise would be appreciated. Kaldari (talk) 22:39, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikipedia takes the world 2008

I started this in hope for a larger event, but need your help possibly. Does it look good enough to go public? STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 21:27, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your your comments. Could you help me organize this? And when should the date be? I was thinking sometime in June. STORMTRACKER 94 ^{Go Irish!} 09:29, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wikimedia regional blog

Hi Pharos and thank you for the kind invitation! I just thought that I would let you know that I have not organized any wiki-meetups in the past, I did however post the post-meetup summary (as small as it was). I believe that you would be looking for User:TexasDex, the organizer of Philly meetup 6, in this case. Regards and good luck with your project. --ImmortalGoddezz (t/c) 22:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
