News On Wiki check-in
[edit]Hi there! Thank you for your interest in our campaign to improve the public's knowledge about local newspapers. Time has flown since we got going in September, and our six month campaign ends in just a month! We'd like to check in with you about work you have done, or any articles you'd like to write or edit to do before we wrap up.
We published a mid-campaign report, highlighting strong work from several Wikipedia editors (both new wiki folks and veterans); contributions from Kristy Roschke's journalism course at Arizona State University; and strong engagement from groups like AfroCROWD and Wikimedians of the Caribbean.
As we begin our final push, we would love to learn what you have been working on, or help you with any challenges. We're hosting several informal video conference sessions in the next week. (If that format is no good for you, just let us know.) We'd love to hear what newspapers have caught your interest, any articles you've already written, and also any kind of support you could use in writing up newspapers that lack Wikipedia entries. We'll focus especially on newspapers of the Caribbean in our final month, as we continue to work on Black-owned U.S. newspapers, and newspapers of Washington State.
Please register for one of these Zoom meetings. If these times don't work for you, or if you hate Zoom, etc., just reply here (please include the text "[[User:Peteforsyth]] and [[User:Shanluan]]" so we get notifications), and we'll find another way to connect with you.
- Saturday Jan. 30, 2pm Pacific / 5 PM Eastern (with Pete)
- Tuesday Feb. 2, 5pm Pacific / 8pm Eastern (with Pete)
- Wednesday Feb. 3, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)
- Thursday Feb. 4, 12:30pm Pacific / 3:30 PM Eastern (with Sherry)
We hope to hear from you soon! -Pete Forsyth (talk) 00:48, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
