Wikipedia Day NYC is planned for Sunday Jan 14, 2024, hosted at 2950 Broadway, Pulitzer Hall, Columbia University by the Brown Institute for Media Innovation with Wikimedia NYC.

The special focus this year will be Artificial intelligence in Wikimedia projects!

Please be prepared to show a valid Photo ID at front desk. Eventbrite RSVP is required: At present, Eventbrite has filled all available reservations for the event, but it is possible to have your name put onto the Eventbrite waitlist. See the talk page for more details.
More info is coming soon! Save the date!
For events in other cities (including Boston and Toronto), see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Day § Wikipedia Day 2024.

Now, because we are expecting a full house, we are instituting a COVID masking policy — out of an abundance of caution, we will require attendees to wear masks indoors except when eating (or presenting a talk). We will have masks on site for you to wear if you need one.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct and to participate in person you should be vaccinated.

Lightning talks

Add your 3-5 minute lightning talk here! Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and AI as relevant to the larger free culture movement, although we ask that lightning talks aren't used to promote or sell products and services. We have space on the schedule for about 10 of them. Topics may be subject to review by event volunteers, so signing up here doesn't guarantee you'll go on. For any questions about lightning talks please contact User:Enterprisey.

Portal:Current events, the proudly boring and surprisingly popular online news source, and its potential for careful AI-assisted growth.--Pharos (talk) 20:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Using LLMs to write Wikipedia content: What works, what doesn't. I will share my experience of trying to use Large Language Models, such at GPT4-32k, to summarize WP:RS for use in Wikipedia. Challenges include copyright violations and internal moderation that prevents LLMs from reading controversial content.--Nowa (talk) 13:06, 8 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:ASSESS, Sharing insights from teaching WikiEdu course on Black American Music https://dashboard.wikiedu.org/courses/University_at_Albany_SUNY/Black_American_Music_(Fall_2023)/home. Most articles on Black American music subjects are start or stub class articles. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African-American_music. I want to explore if this is a systemic bias on the platform that needs attention. --sheridanford (talk) 13:55, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Using AI to fight misinformation about the climate crisis, from a climate activist (although it looks like Eventbrite is full so I'm not sure if I'm registered) (also I don't know how to tag myself but my name is Jon)
Using primary sources and archival research - let's talk about this --InspireWithUs
My meta-Wiki experience and the limitations of planning Wikipedia Day using AI. Mollystarkdean (talk) 17:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Free the sources! Over 11,000 serials that are the subjects of English Wikipedia articles are or might be public domain at least in part. I'll talk about improved tools now available here for researching their copyrights and publicizing free content we can put online from them.

An artist's take on the Wikipedia:Sandbox; sharing the process of interpreting the communal digital space into a physical artifact. —Public Park (talk) 05:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thinking about a tiny talk - where I'd briefly mention two things I've been thinking about re: maintainability of wikipedia - content re-use across pages, and content deletion being easier than content creation. Tduk (talk) 16:45, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
9 years of going to these, and maybe also a bit about LLMs. Enterprisey (talk!) 19:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

sheridanford (talk) 13:59, 9 January 2024 (UTC). The EventBrite registration process says SOLD OUT. I already booked my travel from Albany. Is this going to be an issue?[reply]

@User:SheridanFord, the "sold out" issue is under discussion on the talk page Nowa (talk) 14:43, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There will be spots for all WMNYC members, dedicated Wikipedians, and anyone who RSVPed on the Wiki meetup page. Please join the waitlist for the time being. - Wil540 art (talk) 18:04, 9 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
