Emilio Delgado[edit]
Your recent edit to talk:Emilio Delgado has an edit summary saying that it added a wikiproject, but it one of the results is that it dropped WikiProject Oregon. Is that intentional? —EncMstr (talk) 08:03, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- @EncMstr: According to the article in its current form, Delgado's only connection to Oregon is that he once performed at a concert hall and a zoo there, so I assumed it was an error. If WP:WikiProject Oregon also includes anyone who has ever put on a show in the state, I'd never stand in the way of them doing that. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 08:35, 26 July 2016 (UTC)
- I suspect being associated with Pink Martini—a Portland, Oregon band—is the basis of the Oregon adoption. Probably Pete knows more since he added the tag in 2009.
- @EncMstr: No, it appears it's because the article was in Category:People from Ashland, Oregon back in 2009 (see [1]), but was removed from that category in 2013. I believe the "best practice" is to leave an HTML comment next to the wikiproject when the connection between the article and a wikiproject is unclear, so that's what I've done. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 06:35, 27 July 2016 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:ASQOfficialLogo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

Help with MDC Partners?[edit]
Hi there! Earlier this summer a major update for advertising holding company MDC Partners' article that I researched and wrote. I posted the draft to the Talk page, and it has been partially implemented, but the editor I was working with has not been back to discuss the rest of the changes. I'm reaching out to see if you'd be interested in reviewing because you are listed as a member of Wikiproject Marketing & Advertising. As a full disclosure, I have a financial conflict of interest and created the draft on behalf of MDC Partners (though I aimed to remain neutral and used independent sourcing). I won't make changes myself and am very open to feedback! Thanks! Heatherer (talk) 21:10, 16 September 2016 (UTC)
Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot[edit]
We'd like to invite you to participate in a user study closely related to SuggestBot. User:Another Article is seeking to understand more about the workflow and time commitment of contributors to the English Wikipedia. As part of this study you will occasionally be prompted to answer questions about your editing activity, and these questions should never take more than a minute or two to complete. The intended length of the study is two weeks, but your actual time commitment is totally up to you. If you would like to see more details you can read the project proposal at Research:Measuring editor time commitment and workflow (on meta), but if you are feeling bold and would like just like to sign up right now you can add the line importScript("User:Another_Article/workflowstudyclient.js"); to your common.js. Contact User:Another Article if you have any questions about this study!

Saturday October 22: WikiArte Latin American Edit-a-thon @ MoMA[edit]
| Saturday October 22, 10am: WikiArte Latin American Edit-a-thon @ MoMA | |
|---|---|
|
Join us for a full Saturday of social Wikipedia editing at the Museum of Modern Art (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to the lives and works of Latin American artists. The WikiArte (Wiki Arte y Cultura Latinoamerica) edit-a-thon is a global campaign to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Latin American arts and culture and to counter geocultural systemic bias on Wikipedia. Featuring an opening Artists' Panel at 10am, with Sol Aramendi, Sharon Lee De La Cruz, and Marisa Morán Jahn, to be moderated by Rocío Aranda-Alvarado, curator at El Museo del Barrio. The Museum of Modern Art and Fundacion Cisneros/Colección Patricia Phelps de Cisneros are uniting with international allies to focus on the lives and works of Latin American artists, architects and designers. With keystone events scheduled for October 22 in New York City and other cities throughout the month (Mexico City, Buenos Aires, Caracas, & others), the campaign aims to further similar goals to Art+Feminism. All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. Introductory training on the basics of Wikipedia editing will be given throughout the edit-a-thon. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 23:29, 19 October 2016 (UTC) |

| Saturday December 3: Contemporary Chinese Art Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim | |
|---|---|

On Saturday December 3, 2016, in conjunction with a global campaign, the Guggenheim will host its fifth Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon—to enhance Wikipedia's coverage of modern and contemporary artists from Greater China. The event will cap off Wikipedia Asian Month, an online campaign dedicated to augmenting Asian content on Wikipedia throughout November. New and experienced editors are welcome. The event will include a training session for participants who are new to Wikipedia, and Wikipedia specialists will be on hand to provide basic instruction and editing support. Editors are invited to view the exhibition Tales of Our Time following the event. The Guggenheim aims to raise awareness of the artists featured in the Tales of Our Time exhibition supported by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Chinese Art Initiative, and build on the model of campaigns like the Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Women in Architecture, Wikipedia Edit-a-thon at the Guggenheim: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa, and Art+Feminism.

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at Ace Hotel New York hosts Action Equals History — a unique opportunity for New Yorkers to learn hands-on in a technology training/workshop session about the mechanics, practices and benefits of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. This is an opportunity for all to gather, share and work collectively towards a more robust account of history. For this month, and following on the recent Art+Feminism campaign, we'll focus on building better edit-a-thon tools for a variety of different thematic campaigns, and user-testing them with the community. Towards a goal of advancing these tools for wider use with diverse local groups.
Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! --Pharos (talk) 05:13, 21 March 2017 (UTC) |

Request for images (Spring in New York)[edit]
Hi Daniel, Thanks for your Request for images at WikiProject New York. I've added a couple and created a new 'Spring in Syracuse, New York' subcategory. Will keep my eye out for more opportunities. Kind regards, DA Sonnenfeld (talk) 20:34, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
- @DASonnenfeld: Thanks for supporting the
causecategory! It looks like Syracuse is in the same boat as Rochester—with the late season wind and snowstorms, the plants are being very conservative about blooming. I took a number of photos on Easter Sunday, but they don't seem worth uploading. I expect prime photo opportunities to emerge in the next couple of weeks. -- DanielPenfield (talk) 06:09, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

Record Labels - wikiprojects[edit]
You've been removing WikiProject Business for a lot of record labels with the edit summary "if it's in record labels, it doesn't need to be in business". It's not a big deal, but I'm not entirely sure this is the correct course of action, as WikiProject Record Labels is under WikiProject Music, not WikiProject Business. Therefore I think perhaps that leaving WP Business may be appropriate, as there may be editors interested in the business end and not the music end, particularly for the larger labels which were significant business concerns. I welcome your thoughts on the matter. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 13:22, 9 June 2017 (UTC)

-- DanielPenfield (talk) 14:39, 11 June 2017 (UTC)Your statement My response You've been removing WikiProject Business for a lot of record labels Yes, in addition to adding place and music genre WikiProjects as those are about 100,000 times more likely to connect editors with an interest in those articles. with the edit summary "if it's in record labels, it doesn't need to be in business" That's right, I believe that articles about record labels should not be cross-listed in WikiProject Business. I'm not entirely sure this is the correct course of action, as WikiProject Record Labels is under WikiProject Music, not WikiProject Business. I can see that you are confused about who defines the scope of WikiProject Business. Per WP:PROJSCOPE, A WikiProject's participants define the scope of their project, which includes defining an article as being outside the scope of the project. As a corollary, WikiProject Record Labels doesn't define the scope of WikiProject Business, nor does WikiProject Business define the scope of WikiProject Record Labels. as there may be editors interested in the business end and not the music end, particularly for the larger labels which were significant business concerns Yes, the world might someday develop into a utopia in which thousands of defunct record labels somehow throw open their long-shuttered doors to researchers "with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy" who then labor for years producing fully fact-checked "reliable, third-party, published sources" that describe their business practices. Until that new day dawns, however, editors interested in Business as a general topic must wade through thousands of articles about record labels before arriving at articles actually about Business.
