Hi!

Hi Mimi! Nice to meet you this weekend. Let me know how things are going on Wikipedia and whether you want to work on something. I'll email all the Scrabble stuff we talked about. Upjav (talk) 17:56, 31 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia, Mimi. I work on NM related articles sometimes. Yworo (talk) 02:15, 22 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I live in New Mexico. I'm currently in Taos, but will be moving to Albuquerque in a couple of weeks. Yworo (talk) 02:57, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and you can reply here, I'm watching your talk page. Yworo (talk) 02:58, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

You are the first WIkipedia editor I've met in New Mexico. Are you interested in helping out the museum community? Do you know other Wikipedians in the state? We could sure use some help!

Sure, I'm interested in helping out. I may know one other NM editor, but don't currently remember their user name. I'll let you know when I remember. Are you aware of WikiProject New Mexico? Not sure how active it is. Yworo (talk) 04:39, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, yes, now I remember. Carptrash lives in Dixon. You can find a list of other editors from or interested in New Mexico here. You probably will want to add yourself to that list. Yworo (talk) 04:48, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for this! I added myself to the list. It would be great if there are that many people interested in working on articles about New Mexico! I would love to find someone interested in being a Wikipedian-in-Residence for the New Mexico Dept. of Cultural Affairs. As a brand new editor I'm definitely not the right person to be leading the charge. User:Mimi.roberts

Hello. I've recently moved (at least for a while) to Sun City, Arizona to take care of my mother. As far as this is in miles from Dixon, New Mexico, it is a lot farther politically socially, economically, intellectually and several other "lly's" than it is in miles. My books and other source materials for Northern New Mexico are in boxes or spread all over the place but I will try and pull a few things out and add something to the articles that you have mentioned. If nothing else, it's a chance for me to go home for a little bit. Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:23, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Einar, One project we are planning is expanding the number and improving articles on Wikipedia about properties that are on the National Register of Historic Landmarks in preparation for the Centennial of the National Park Service in 2016, starting with those that are publicly owned and/or that offer public access. I have an intern starting October 1 who can upload images to Wikimedia Commons, but he's not a writer. Check out the Wikipedia article on National Landmarks in New Mexico and the nominations that are on the website of the State Historic Preservation Division (http://www.nmhistoricpreservation.org/documents/recent-documents.html) as a starting point. This might be something you could get started on from Sun City. I attended a Wikipedia training about a month ago and wrote the article on the movie theater in Clovis as my assignment. Doing these in some kind of templatized format would make it easy for my supervisor to use the data for a mobile app tour he is developing. Let me know what you think. User:Mimi.roberts

Hello Mimi; I see that you work for the New Mexico Department of Cultural Affairs . I would like to thank you (or at least your department) for something nice that you did for me in 2005. Yours was one of the outfits that got me invited to the unveiling of the Popé statue in Washington D.C. My pictures can be found in that article.But looking at it I see that the article has the unveiling as being on March 21and I recall it as being on the Fall equinox, September 22, 2005. I am changing it to that date, but if you have an easy way to check it, that would be good. I will look over the links that you sent but my strength (in my opinion) is dealing hands on with stuff rather then doing web research. Carptrash (talk) 18:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mimi! Another editor I think is in New Mexico is the one I mentioned when we met in person: @Uyvsdi:. I'm pinging this editor so when that person is on wikipedia they might be able to pop by here and say hello. Montanabw ^(talk) 19:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Edit to Robert M. Ellis (artist)

Not sure what you were trying to do with this edit. I assumed it should go in Museum of New Mexico and moved it. Please try to add citations as you add material. Ask me if you need help with that. Yworo (talk) 04:43, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I do need help with citations because I don't know how to merge them. I read the help page and just got confused. They're the same references that are already in there. I also obviously need a lesson on how to start a new article in the sandbox. Thanks for fixing that. And the Ellis article could use a disambiguation because I added (artist) after his name because there are other RObert Ellis's, but now I think it only shows up in a search if you have that in there. User:Mimi.roberts

Ping me at my talk page any time you have an issue. I've gotten pretty good at this. As for creating a new article, what I do is make an article title as a redlink, click the redlink and then go from there. For example, feel free to play with this: User:Montanabw/Sandbox for Mimi. You cannot screw anything up there, I promise!. I have a TON of sandboxes (see the pile, actually should request to have a few deleted, ah maintenance). You can create them too, like I did this one for you in your user space: User:Mimi.roberts/sandbox2 Just click that red link and play with it, again, you can't screw it up! A good way to learn citation is to just steal good stuff from good articles. For example, an article with fairly straightforward citation, but it's an featured article (and going to be on the main page Oct 1, yay me!) is Mucho Macho Man, a horse "biography." You can steal all sorts of ideas there, from citation, to infoboxes, to a table, photos, etc. Montanabw ^(talk) 19:16, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

New Mexico related articles I started

By the way, I started these articles, some of which are short and could use expansion: Eanger Irving Couse House and Studio—Joseph Henry Sharp Studios, Joseph Rael, Nicolai Fechin House, Taos Inn, and Thomas "Doc" Martin. I also did some work on improving Oscar E. Berninghaus, Ernest L. Blumenschein, E. Irving Couse, W. Herbert Dunton, Bert Geer Phillips, and Joseph Henry Sharp, though other editors have worked on them since. Yworo (talk) 04:57, 23 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This is great, we should do a Taos edit-a-thon at the Harwood some time, but now you're moving to Albuquerque. It would be a fun way to knock these out. User:Mimi.roberts

New user name

Just a heads up that I've had my user name changed. The editor formerly known as Yworo, Skyerise (talk) 05:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

And yes, it would be fun to have an edit-a-thon at the Harwood. Still could happen, I expect to spend vacation time in Taos next summer. And of course there are weekends. Skyerise (talk) 05:16, 29 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Good Morning Skyerise (talk). Sounds good, let's stay in touch.

Hi User:Skyerise. My email is mimi.roberts@state.nm.us. Shoot me a message when the dust settles and good luck with the new job.

User:Skyerise: Good Morning! I hope the new job is going well. As soon as you get a chance, we would like to know more about the software for that you mentioned that links Wikipedia to websites. It sounds like something we'd want to use. Can you send me a link to a description? We're developing the workflow for our intern--very complicated! Also, you mentioned something about setting up some sort of DCA profile on Wikimedia Commons. That sounds like a good idea, can you tell me how I can find out how to do that? Thanks!

Of interest

New article may be of interest to you: Ranch school. Hope all is well! Montanabw ^(talk) 08:59, 7 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

New Mexico wineries

I was surprised to find not one single article on any of the many award-winning wineries in New Mexico. (Though there were a couple deleted ones, no surprise there...)

So, I've created List of wineries in New Mexico along with articles on seven notable wineries:

Do you still need assistance on setting up a local MediaWiki site for DCA? Skyerise (talk) 22:38, 21 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes!! I still need help. Are you available? 50.139.49.188 (talk) 15:13, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Notable in its absence is Vivac Winery in Embudo.

Yes, I like them... I think it was at Vivác Winery, you'll find that an article has been deleted at that title, back in 2006. Skyerise (talk) 02:35, 22 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for March 12

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Beatrice Mandelman, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Santa Fe. 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.

2019 US Banknote Contest

US Banknote Contest

November-December 2019

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of United States banknotes, yet only a fraction of these are represented on Wikimedia Commons in the form of 2D scans. Additionally, Colonial America, the Confederate States, the Republic of Texas, multiple states and territories, communities, and private companies have issued banknotes that are in the public domain today but are absent from Commons.

In the months of November and December, WikiProject Numismatics will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the 2019 US Banknote Contest. The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on all Wikimedia projects. Participants will claim points for uploading and importing 2D scans of US banknotes, and at the end of the contest all will receive awards. Whether you want to claim the Gold Wiki or you just want to have fun, all are invited to participate.

If you do not want to receive invitations to future US Banknote Contests, follow the instructions here
