Wikis Take Manhattan

Wikis Take Manhattan Next: Saturday September 27

WHAT Wikis Take Manhattan is a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year's Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and has evolved to include StreetsWiki this year as well.

WINNINGS? Prizes include a dinner for three with Wikipedia creator Jimmy Wales at Pure Food & Wine, gift certificates to Bicycle Habitiat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

WHEN The hunt will take place Saturday, September 27th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.

WHO All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!

REGISTER The proper place to register your team is here. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.

WHERE Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's West Village office. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:

de Triana

I see that you are interested in de Triana. It is not clear when he died. 1492 seems to be wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.160.202.155 (talk) 13:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

I agree that the year of de Triana's death is not clear, so I'll go ahead and change the category. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. --Wassermann (talk) 20:22, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Warburg family political office in Germany?

Don't know, if you wrote the sentence on Warburg family political offices, I deleted it and called it nonsense, this is no censorship, the sentence was def. not true for Germany. It may have been true for some Warburgs (of the next generation?) in the States (james? FDR?). Sorry, just saw the german version of this article, don·t know where this nonsense comes from--Radh (talk) 12:34, 19 October 2008 (UTC)--80.137.248.102 (talk) 12:47, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

That wasn't me -- I don't edit the German version of Wikipedia. --Wassermann (talk) 01:42, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes, sorry, I only saw the german version of the Warburg article after the english one.--Radh (talk) 10:03, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Censorship issue link of interest

I noticed that you are against censorship as well. Below is a link from my sandbox in which I sent a letter to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that was sent on August 23, 2008, but was deleted by people who did not want thte truth revealed. It is on the second section if you are interested.
