Template:WikiProject United States
Greetings OR and thanks for your contributions. I noticed your talk page edit at Template talk:WikiProject United States to add a GLAM project to the list of supported projects. Unfortunately I had to remove all the GLAM projects from the template so we cannot do that. This was because several editors (some of which don't even participate in WPUS) felt that the WPUS project was overreaching its scope and some of the GLAM projects had content that was too far removed from WPUS (Paintings, artists and other content unrelated to the US). Rather than include only the content that pertained to the US and share that between the 2 projects, the consensus required the removal of the GLAM projects and the cease of support from WPUS. Which also means several of the GLAM projects don't have any active support. Which I feel is unfortunate and you can probably sense my irritation in that decision. Anyway, just wanted to let you know. Take care and happy editing. Kumioko (talk) 16:48, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

The reason given for METROtrain6's block is that the username is incorrect. This was my fault, but I understand now why the block happened. I created that account because I'm a WiR and I'm doing a training at Queens Public Library tomorrow and many of the people I will be training have a block IP address at their institution. I created that account here, so it could be passed on to someone at the training to begin using. I now understand that I should have never created an account for someone else, but I need my account to be unblocked in order to help facilitate the training tomorrow. Please write back if you have further concerns.OR drohowa (talk) 18:08, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
May I suggest that you read this article? It is the most comprehensive article on the various Guggenheim collections. I think it will help clarify the conversation. -- Ssilvers (talk) 20:43, 16 September 2013 (UTC)
Conversation continued on Guggenheim talk
The article East Art Map has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No indication of mainstream coverage, fails WP:GNG.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

- More biographies are not the answer to such concerns but they are probably part of the solution. If someone can manage to verify a biography then that also would probably result in more journalism about people's projects. I really would like more journalism to cover academia because the existing self-publications and press releases are not a good long-term strategy for outreach.

I've uploaded this to Commons and put it on one of the pages at the Outreach server. Enjoy!

Wikimedia NYC Meetup! Saturday October 5

Hi!
It was great meeting you yesterday! I'd love to get to know you better, so please let me know if you'd like a museum buddy or something. I used to go to MoMA every Friday until I started going to Occu-Evolve meetings every Friday. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 21:08, 6 October 2013 (UTC)
When I visited the New York Hall of Science, I thought it seemed too much like a children's museum, even though it wasn't officially. Being broke, there are plenty of NYC museums I still haven't visited. I was in Jacksonville, Florida for 4 months to the day (arrived January 16, 2012; departed-May 15, 2012), of which I was employed for about 3 1/2 months. I visited two museums there (Wikipedia shows that there are nine total). Cummer Museum of Art and Gardens is the best--it's kind of a mini Met. Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville was a bit disappointing because their special exhibitions take up almost the entirety of the museum, other than the classroom area (mostly for kids), the auditorium, cafe, and gift shop. They have a permanent collection, but it's kept in storage if it's not related to the special exhibition, presumably at University of North Florida, which runs it. I've been to more art galleries than I can name, but mostly my museum going in NYC has been MoMA, Met, and AMNH, plus some library exhibitions. The Children's Museum of Indianapolis is so cool that I know people who have had their weddings there. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 23:27, 20 October 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for November 5
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Beat Generation, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Washington (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Wikimedia LGBT
Hi Dorothy, I just wanted to bring Wikimedia LGBT, a proposed user group and thematic organization that promotes the development of content on Wikimedia projects which is of interest to LGBT communities, to your attention. I am sure you are so busy with your current projects, but I hope you might be able to direct people to this group if they are interested in LGBT content in any way. Of course, you are also more than welcome to indicate your interest/support, if you wish. Hopefully we can get some LGBT-related GLAM projects up and running in the near future. Best, --Another Believer (Talk) 19:34, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Thanks! This organization has 110% of my support and I will pass along the information if they are interested. There are a few LGBT organizations in New York that I've been trying to get interested in Wikipedia that may take to this. The Lesbian Herstory Archives and also the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center. Cheers, OR drohowa (talk) 19:46, 8 November 2013 (UTC)
- Wonderful! Thanks for your support, Dorothy. Would you mind posting a note on the talk page about the organizations you've mentioned (at your earliest convenience, of course)? --Another Believer (Talk) 19:54, 8 November 2013 (UTC)

Dear Dorothy,
I just read your interesting article on Wikimedia Blog. I would like to point out that I'm the Wikipedian-in-Residence at Catalan Network of Public Libraries. 40 libraries have already organized activities (like editathons, workshops, etc.) or created articles about their local area (writers, monuments, ...).

Speedy deletion nomination of Editing Wikipedia:GLAM/Mount Holyoke College/Tab header/Spacer
Hello OR drohowa,
I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Editing Wikipedia:GLAM/Mount Holyoke College/Tab header/Spacer for deletion, because it seems to be a test. Did you know that the Wikipedia Sandbox is available for testing out edits?
If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jawwad Durrani Talk to me 16:11, 16 November 2013 (UTC)
