There is a thread on the talk page of the above named article regarding whether that council is still active at Wikipedia talk:Advisory Council on Project Development#Still viable?. As one of the listed members, your input would very likely be useful. Thank you. John Carter (talk) 16:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

You're invited...

New York City Meetup


Next: Sunday September 13th, Columbia University area
Last: 07/25/2009
This box: view  talk  edit

In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, review the recent Wiki-Conference New York, plan for the next stages of projects like Wikipedia Takes Manhattan and Wikipedia at the Library, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the May meeting's minutes).

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and generally enjoy ourselves and kick back.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

To keep up-to-date on local events, you can also join our mailing list.

Images

The template you've used to delete self-made freely-licensed photographs from wikipedia (dunno template name since you used subst not template) implies that images can only be used in wikipedia if they were previously used elsewhere:

"make a note ... at the site of the original publication"

Can't do, there was no original publication

"send an email from an address associated with the original publication"

Can't do, there was no original publication

so you've deleted a freely licensed file, because the author failed to meet two impossible criteria? Ojw (talk) 14:53, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No, it also includes images that may be reasonably believed to be owned by someone else. Permission can be established either by publication in another source that shows a free license or by filing a statement of license with WP:OTRS. MBisanz talk 19:10, 1 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, you tagged and had deleted a photo of Clifford Pickover which I added three years ago with Dr. Pickover's permission. What do I have to do to get it re-added? Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spinorbit (talkcontribs) 19:31, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The image was from his web page http://sprott.physics.wisc.edu/pickover/aboutcp.html Spinorbit (talk) 19:36, 2 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
