==[[Louis Freeh]] promoted==
The article does still a couple unsourced statements and could use some expanding in some places but of couse its GA not FA. So I promoted the article. [[User:Tarret|Tarret]] 19:00, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

==[[Federalist Party]]==

The next time you make a free-wheeling change, you may want to have some idea about what you are editing.  I know you are a history major and I don't know if it was a simple slip, but Thomas Jefferson's [[Democratic-Republican Party]] has no affiliation with the Republican Party at all.  To write that it is, is a complete misrepresentation of information. I know that you advocate, "when in doubt it is better to delete" but sometimes it may be better to do nothing.  [[User:Stevenmitchell|Stevenmitchell]] 06:52, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Well aware. Though that was seven years ago, so it's hard to say why I would have made that edit :) [[User:PaulHanson|Paul]] ([[User talk:PaulHanson#top|talk]]) 04:33, 10 October 2013 (UTC)

== Thanks for the kind words ==
I appreciate your comments. As for collaborating on projects, unfortunately my time is very limited this summer as I am teaching a couple university courses in addition to my day job.

Hi, [[User:Nunh-huh|Nunh-huh]] propose to delete [[:Category:Yale University units]], [[:Category:New York University units]] and  ''any other University "unit" classification''.  If interested, you can go to the [[Wikipedia:Categories for deletion/Log/2006 June 17#Category:Yale University units|proposed deletion page]] to discuss.

== Proposed deletion of [[Access Business Group]] ==

I've added the "{{tl|prod}}" template to the article [[Access Business Group]], suggesting that it be deleted according to the [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also [[Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not]] and [[Wikipedia:Importance]]). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at [[Talk:Access Business Group]]. If you remove the {{tl|dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]], where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. <span style="color:#3300FF;">[[User:Aguerriero|<span style="color:#3300FF;">Aguerriero</span>]] ([[User_talk:Aguerriero|<span style="color:#3300FF;">talk</span>]])</span> 19:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Paul. You asked my suggestions about articles to work on. I'm partial to articles on [[List of countries|countries]] and continents. Can't do without them and most are in pretty good shape already. (But maybe you were looking for something more challenging. ...) Best, [[User:Maurreen|Maurreen]] 17:28, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

::Looking at your contributions, I see you tend to like business/financial topics.  We are very weak on business articles right now - if you could bring some major corporation articles like [[Ford Motor Company]] up to par that would be great.  Some are listed [[Wikipedia:Version_1.0_Editorial_Team/WPEconBusiness#Wikipedia:WikiProject_Business_and_Economics|here]], or you could contact [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Business and Economics]] directly.  If you are interested in collaborating on [[Dow Chemical Company]] (currently a real mess!), I'd love to work with you!  (I'm a chemist, by the way). Thanks, [[User:Walkerma|Walkerma]] 03:36, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

:::Thank you for all your hard work.  Yes, a great improvement with Dow, I've been watching!  I think I prefer your wording of the napalm stuff over mine (and I missed the point you made about it!).  I'd like to rewrite the Bhopal stuff (as the talk says, this is tangential to Dow itself, worth mentioning but in a better way).  Once we do that, do you think we can remove the "neutrality" tag (see article talk page)? 

I've been looking at Dow as well (I usually mull things over a bit before I write a lot, especially with a subject I'm less familiar with).  There are a few things I'd like to put in, but I'd appreciate your opinions before I spend a lot of time on them.  
#The seven major divisions of Dow, and a summary of their main products.  To me, what a manufacturing company actually manufactures should be part of the "meat & potatoes" of any manufacturing company's article.  
#I have a couple of recent articles from Chemical & Engineering News, including a lengthy interview with the CEO, I'd like to incorporate some of this into the article to indicate the current situation at Dow.
#From the chemistry point of view, I'd like to have a short section describing some of the major processes developed by Dow, such as manufacturing magnesium metal (used to build ships, aircraft, etc) from seawater.  This process is still (I think!) the main way magnesium is made, and there is a lengthy section on the Dow process in the general chemistry text I used to teach from.  I think Wikipedia is extremely weak on industrial chemistry, quite sad when you consider that such processes provide practically all of the materials we use in our modern world. 

What do you think of these?  Please leave comments & suggestions for me, and thanks again, [[User:Walkerma|Walkerma]] 16:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

==Portal==
Thanks for supporting the proposal to create a portal for U.S. government (and politics?) topics.  The proposal passed, and I copied my draft over the the portal namespace.  It's at [[Portal:Government of the United States]].  If you would like to help keep the portal updated, feel free to stop by the portal talk page or just go in and make any improvements or changes you see fit.  In its current state, the portal is just a starting point. Even the portal name, is open to discussion.  I'm not sure if it should be "government and politics" or just "government". -[[User:AudeVivere|Aude]] (<small>[[User_talk:AudeVivere|talk]] [[Special:Contributions/AudeVivere|contribs]]</small>) 02:59, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

== [[TCSEC]] ===
Hi Paul,
Thanks for pointing out that the leading paragraph was so broken,
I Improved it as per your request, can you please:
* Check it and remove the context label if you feel it is adecuate now?
* Can you move TCSEC to [[Trusted Computer System Evaluation Criteria]] and make [[TCSEC]] a redirect to it? I tried and ended up with TCSEC 1 wich now needs to be removed.

The article still neds morewikification but at least the intro should be good now.

== Your move of [[Great Northern Railway (U.S.)]] ==

A few quick questions about this move: Did you gain a consensus on the disambiguation somewhere? Is there a discussion about this article's title somewhere other than the article's talk page? Are you going to update [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Whatlinkshere/Great_Northern_Railway_%28US%29&limit=500&from=0 all of the pages that link to the old title] to avoid double redirects?

There was [[Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (acronyms)|previous discussion]] on this topic where the consensus was to use (US) and not (United States) or (U.S.) for disambiguation in article titles.  Was there discussion elsewhere that I didn't see? [[User:Slambo|Slambo]] [[User talk:Slambo|<small style="color:black;">(Speak)</small>]] 18:45, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Hi Paul, good to hear from you again, I enjoyed working with you on the Dow article.  How did the rally go (that was you, right?).  Thanks for your posting- I think I'd like to include lots of lists in 1.0, but these are probably not right for Version 0.5 (we finish all reviewing tonight!).  We are greatly expanding the scope of our project soon, using bots, and I'll definitely see if we can bring in a nice set of lists/articles like these.

==John Jay==
Hi Paul. I originally attached the classification of American Episcopalian to the category, but realized that no other Episcopalian with their own category had a similar treatment (where their category was linked to personal attributes). I also did a cursory inspection of the categories named after politicians and found that a majority merely classified themselves as a category named after politicians. Wasn't sure whether it was policy but decided it looked better (not advisable to have too many subcategories in things like American Freemasons, etc.) Also, there were very few tags on the actual article itself, which was confusing. Eventually, I just thought it would run smoother. I don't know whether it's actual policy or not. From your northern neighbour.

LOL.  Sorry, I just saw your addition of this to [[Alaska Panhandle]] and could only guffaw....long ago the ''[[National Lampoon]]'' published a routes map for "Panhandle Airways", which connected only airports in the various panhandles around the Union; Alaska's, Idaho's, Utah's, Texas', Oklahoma's, Nebraska's, Tennessee's, West Virginia's, Florida's....I think even Mobile made it onto the map as the "Alabama Panhandle".  Can't remember which other states but they went all-out on it; not sure which issue but I couldn't help but think of it when I saw there's a Panhandles Category here....[[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] 08:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

==''Oh goodness I wish I was in Vancouver''==

NO, you don't.  We're having a [[Pineapple Express]] combined with heavy winds, and it looks like a monsoon out there (just like it did last night).  This is about the twelfth major storm of this season so far and it's been nasty; we're expecting more.  Balmy?  Well, yesterday for a few benign hours before the next wave of rain came in, but....I can't wait for April...May....June?  We're never sure when the sun's going to come back around here.  Sometimes it doesn't (e.g. summer of '82, which I remember too well....ever seen a .5'-1.5' slug?  20, 30, 100 of them at once, on windows, building walls? etc?[[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] 17:21, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

:In the context of climate change, we've been joking this fall/winter that it's a bad sign when "they" (TO and Mtl, and by default NYC) are getting our weather and we're getting ''this'', "this" meaning the new escalation in storm activity.  Blame it on [[El Nina]] - I hope, meaning that then it's not at least going to be a regular annual occurrence.  We've been smug here with climate change thinking that we were just going to get warmer and wetter ("wetter" is a very relative term here); now it turns out we may be due for increasingly harsh weather.  It's a few hours later now and it's nice and sunny outside - one nice thing about the Pineapple Express is it's a subtropical airmass; once the rain blows through there's (sometimes) some nice sunshine on its tail end.  Not always though....[[User:Skookum1|Skookum1]] 20:31, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

==Categories for New Jersey cities==
Re [[Plainfield, New Jersey]], Please note that categories that apply to the city, not to everything in the city (e.g., 1869 establishments, Cities in New Jersey, New Jersey Urban Enterprise Zone and United States communities with African American majority populations) belong on the Plainfield article, not on the Plainfield category. Including them on the Plainfield category would imply that everything in the Plainfield category, say [[Plainfield Teacher's College]], is a City, is a UEZ and has an African American majority, which would be nonsensical. The only category that belongs there is the Union County category; after all, everything in Plainfield is in (or related to) Union County. [[User:Alansohn|Alansohn]] 07:21, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

==Honeywell cat==
Ok, I'm puzzled. It's fine to create a new Honeywell category, but why did you delete all the others from [[Honeywell]]? I've restored them, as they're all legit cats. [[User:Akradecki|Akradecki]] 15:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
:Not so. See [[Wikipedia:Categorization and subcategories]]. The rule of thumb that I think you thinking of is parent and sub categories, and typicially you only have an article in one place, but, as the guideline says, is not at all a hard and fast rule, and there are plenty of cases where you want it in both. The cats that Honeywell is listed in are major navigational aids, and by removing it from them you impede users' utilize the system as free as possible.

Thanks for your reply, but if you read the referneces and the article, it is not about Seward Park, it is about the largest area of undeveloped property in NYC going on 35 years already located in the vicinity of Seward Park.  The NY Times articles should help explain that.  [[User:Judae1|Juda S. Engelmayer]] 18:00, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

== Advice requested ==

Hi Paul. I've been attempting to overview and tidy up the geography cats which involve the places where people live. There appear to be two useful ways of doing it - by region, and by size.  Organising by size is difficult because [[User:Hmains]] uses the term settlements to cover all sizes of communities, and has altered dictionary definitions [http://www.answers.com/settlement&r=67] to fit his own understanding of the term -
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Settlement&diff=prev&oldid=110496009]. However, community appears to be the term used most often to describe the places where people live, regardless of size. This is the definition of community - [http://www.answers.com/community&r=67]. Hmains has reverted much of my work, and insists on settlements being the term we should use - basing it on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2007_January_18#Category:Settlements_by_region| this decision], which was a declined proposal to rename Settlements by region to Populated places by region. What do you think? Is settlement the appropriate term for covering human communities ranging from well established cities down to refuge camps? Is Human community a viable alternative? Are there other choices? I have started a discussion [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Geography#Advice_requested here] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Categories#Advice_requested here], with the above wording, but no response as yet. I have left this message on the talk pages of active Geography Project members. And then on [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Categorization#Advice_requested this page]. I am a bit lost as the best place to discuss this issue. I don't want to delete or rename any category. And I don't want to get into a revert war. I'd like an open debate to reach sensible consensus. I'm now leaving this message on the pages of WikiProject Category members. Can you advise? [[User:SilkTork|SilkTork]] 19:56, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

It appears that you have recently begun populating Category:National Reconnaissance Office satellites with entries from Category:Reconnaissance satellites of the United States.

== Summer collaboration? ==

Paul,
Hi!  Last summer we collaborated on turning [[Dow Chemical Company]] into something resembling an article.  I was going to suggest we do the same again this summer - how about writing an article on [[Total Chemicals]], on which I have some material.  It employs 44,680 people, has sales of $24bn and it's the chemicals division of [[Total S.A.]].  Or I'd be happy to work on a different chemical company of your choosing.  Would you be able to work on the business side again, and I'll have a go at the chemistry side?  Even the English article on the parent company Total S.A. (the fourth largest oil company in the world!) is an embarrassment, maybe I'll see if someone can translate the French article on that. Hope you're doing well, [[User:Walkerma|Walkerma]] 20:37, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

== History of slavery in the United States category renaming ==

Paul,

You placed your renaming request on [[Wikipedia:Requested moves]], however the correct place for category renaming requests is [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion]]. I moved the request to that page and also substituted the correct template on the category page. The discussion is located [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion/Log/2007 September 24#Category:History of slavery in the United States|here]].--[[User:HarryHenryGebel|HarryHenryGebel]] 12:49, 24 September 2007 (UTC)

Hi Paul, I had some feedback about whether a WGA category was useful.  I posted my thoughts on the discussion tab of the actual cat.  Was that the right place to discuss issues?[[User:DirectRevelation|DirectRevelation]] 20:17, 8 November 2007 (UTC)DirectRevelation

== Princeton College  ==

Hello PaulHanson. I noticed that you created [[:Category:Princeton College alumni]]. As far as I know, Princeton was founded as the College of New Jersey in 1746 and in 1896, its name was changed to Princeton University. When was it called 'Princeton College'? Regards, [[User:Masterpiece2000|Masterpiece2000]] ([[User talk:Masterpiece2000|talk]]) 13:45, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

:FYI, it's never been known as Princeton College. I was just there a few weeks ago and read up on its history. The College of New Jersey name was later adopted, about a century later, by a nearby, unrelated institution formerly known as Trenton State University.<br />--<span style="font-family:Futura;">[[User:A. B.|A. B.]] [[User talk:A. B.|<sup>(talk)</sup>]] </span> 22:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

I noticed you nominated this article for deletion.  Unfortunately, you didnt leave very helpful feedback about how to improve it.  If you note [[Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions]]  [[WP:UNENCYCLOPEDIC]] is not exaclty a valid reason unto itself.  I admit the article can be improved, as the one posted 3 years ago was much better, when it was deleted for Non-notability.  Now that notability can be established, what must else be done?

==Better source request for Image:National_Labor_Relations_Board.jpg==

Thanks for uploading '''[[:Image:National_Labor_Relations_Board.jpg]]'''. You provided a source, but it is difficult for other users to examine the [[copyright]] status of the image because the source is incomplete.  Please consider clarifying the ''exact'' source so that the copyright status may be checked more easily. It is best to specify the exact web page where you found the image, rather than only giving the source domain or the URL of the image file itself.  Please update the image description with a URL that will be more helpful to other users in determining the copyright status.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have specified their source in a complete manner. You can find a list of files you have uploaded by following [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user={{PAGENAMEE}}}} this link].

I am a [[WP:BOT|bot]] alerting you that '''2''' of the articles that you created   are tagged as[[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Sources| Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons]]. The [[WP:BLP|biographies of living persons]] policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure [[WP:VERRIFY|verifiability]], all biographies should be based on [[WP:RELIABLE|reliable sources]]. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current ''[[:Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs|{{PAGESINCATEGORY:All_unreferenced_BLPs}}]]'' article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{tl|unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tlp|non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[WP:NFURG|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included.

==Disambiguation link notification==

Hi. When you recently edited [[Manhattan Libertarian Party]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Libertarian]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/Manhattan_Libertarian_Party|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/Manhattan_Libertarian_Party|fix with Dab solver]]). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. <small>Read the [[User:DPL bot/Dablink notification FAQ|FAQ]]{{*}} Join us at the [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation pages with links|DPL WikiProject]].</small>

== [[Tax Anti-Injunction Act]] ==

Hi. What's the origin of the term "Tax Anti-Injunction Act"? Is there a source you pulled this term from? I can't find any sources that reference this federal statute as the "Tax Anti-Injunction Act"; they all seem to reference the "Anti-Injunction Act." Related: [[Talk:Tax Anti-Injunction Act#Made-up article title?]].

==File permission problem with File:Photo of Randy Credico, candidate for mayor of New York City.jpeg==
[[File:Copyright-problem.svg|64px|left|alt=|link=]]
Thanks for uploading '''[[:File:Photo of Randy Credico, candidate for mayor of New York City.jpeg]]'''. I noticed that while you provided a valid copyright licensing tag, there is no proof that the creator of the file agreed to license it under the given license. 

If you created this media entirely yourself but have previously published it elsewhere (especially online), please either 
* make a note permitting reuse under the [[WP:CC-BY-SA|CC-BY-SA]] or another acceptable free license (see [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags/Free licenses|this list]]) '''at the site of the original publication'''; or
* Send an email from an address associated with the original publication to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org''', stating your ownership of the material and your intention to publish it under a free license. You can find a sample permission letter [[WP:CONSENT|here]]. If you take this step, add {{tl|OTRS pending}} to the file description page to prevent premature deletion.

If you did not create it entirely yourself, please ask the person who created the file to take one of the two steps listed above, or if the owner of the file has already given their permission to you via email, please forward that email to '''permissions-en@wikimedia.org'''. 

If you believe the media meets the criteria at [[Wikipedia:Non-free content]], use a tag such as {{tl|non-free fair use}} or one of the other tags listed at [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags#Fair use]], and add a [[Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline|rationale]] justifying the file's use on the article or articles where it is included. See [[Wikipedia:File copyright tags]] for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other files, consider checking that you have provided evidence that their copyright owners have agreed to license their works under the tags you supplied, too. You can find a list of files you have created in [{{fullurl:Special:Log|type=upload&user=PaulHanson}} your upload log]. '''Files lacking evidence of permission may be deleted one week after they have been tagged''', as described on [[wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Files|criteria for speedy deletion]]. You may wish to read the Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:image use policy|image use policy]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]].

You are invited to join us for a full afternoon and evening of social Wikipedia editing at the Guggenheim (drop-in any time, noon-8pm!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles covering the lives and works of women in architecture.

*Saturday October 15 '''[[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Women in Architecture|Women in Architecture Edit-a-thon @ Guggenheim]] ([[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Women in Architecture#Attendees|RSVP on-wiki]] or [http://www.meetup.com/WikimediaNYC/ at meetup.com])'''.
::''noon - 8pm (drop-in anytime!) at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Garrett Lobby @ 1071 5th Ave by E 88 St''

In conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon— to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both.

The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment. New and experienced editors are welcome.

Can’t join us in New York? Visit our [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Women in Architecture|global partnerships page]] to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.

We hope to see you there!--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 19:34, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

Join us for a full Sunday of social Wikipedia editing at the [[Center for Jewish History]] (drop-in any time!), during which we will create, update, and improve Wikipedia articles pertaining to Women in Jewish History.

All are invited, with no specialized knowledge of the subject or Wikipedia editing experience required. 

Expanding coverage of Jewish women on Wikipedia makes these women and their creations discoverable, addresses the gender bias on Wikipedia in a positive way, and works to correct imbalances archival collecting practice and institutional projects that have historically silenced women's narratives.

A training session on editing Wikipedia will be held at 12:30 pm. Experienced Wikipedians will be on-hand to assist throughout the day. Please bring your laptop and power cord; we will have library resources, WiFi, and a list of suggested topics on hand. 

Light refreshments will be provided.

Make edits! Ask questions! Be bold!

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 [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|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.

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork 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 [[Wikipedia:Meetup/ArtAndFeminism|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.

On the last Sunday of every month, the Boardroom at [https://www.acehotel.com/newyork 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, we'll focus on Wikipedia casual editing, ways to use and develop [[Wikidata]], 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.

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]]'s second edit-a-thon, hosted on '''Sunday November 19, 2017''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

Following the first Met edit-a-thon in May 2017, the museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely.

*Sunday November 19 ''' [[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAsianMonth|Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met]] ([[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/MetAsianMonth#Participants|RSVP on-wiki]] or [http://www.meetup.com/WikimediaNYC/ at meetup.com])'''.
::''10:30 am - 4:00 pm in Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Uris Center for Education''
:::''81st Street entrance, [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]], 1000 Fifth Avenue''

Attendees should bring their own laptops and power cords. Light snacks, drinks and cake will be provided.

<big>'''We also welcome remote participation for the global online [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2017/Asian Art|Wikipedia Asian Art Month]], running November 1-30.'''</big>

Thanks, and hope to see you at the museum, and/or as part of the online Wikipedia Asian Month contest!--[[User:Pharos|Pharos]] ([[User talk:Pharos|talk]]) 16:36, 1 November 2017 (UTC)

The article [[:Star Industries]] has been [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed for deletion]]&#32;because of the following concern:

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised.

'''[[meta:Translat-a-thon/NYC/2019|Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College]]''' is hosting the second annual Wikipedia Translatathon! At this event on '''Thursday evening and during the day Friday this week''', anyone from the public is invited to LaGuardia to join students, professors, and CUNY faculty in translating Wikipedia articles among any languages which attendees understand. Themes for this event include public health and the history of New York City.
 
New York City has a large immigrant population and great diversity of speakers of various languages. Among all schools in New York City, LaGuardia has the highest percentage of immigrant students, the highest percentage of students who speak a language other than English as their first language, and the greatest representation of language diversity. It is a strength of LaGuardia that it can present "Wikipedia translatathons", which are Wikipedia translation events.

There are an estimated 30,000 different varieties of [[Banknotes of the United States dollar|United States banknotes]], yet only a fraction of these are represented on [[c:Main Page|Wikimedia Commons]] in the form of 2D scans.  Additionally, [[Colonial history of the United States|Colonial America]], the [[Confederate States of America|Confederate States]], the [[Republic of Texas]], multiple [[List of states and territories of the United States|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, [[WP:WikiProject Numismatics|WikiProject Numismatics]] will be running a cross-wiki upload-a-thon, the [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019|2019 US Banknote Contest]].  The goal of the contest is to increase the number of US banknote images available to content creators on [[m:Complete list of Wikimedia projects|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 [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#Awards|awards]].  Whether you want to claim the [[Template:GoldenWiki|Gold Wiki]] or you just want to have fun, all are invited to [[c:COM:US Banknote Contest/2019#How to participate|participate]].

The '''Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met''' will be hosted at the [[Metropolitan Museum of Art]] on '''Saturday November 16, 2019''' in the Bonnie Sacerdote Classroom, Ruth and Harold D. Uris Center for Education (81st Street entrance) at The Met Fifth Avenue in New York City.

The museum is excited to work with [[meta:Wikipedia Asian Month 2019|Wikipedia Asian Month]] for the potential to seed new articles about Asian artworks, artwork types, and art traditions, from any part of [[Asia]]. These can be illustrated with thousands of its recently-released images of public domain artworks available for Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons from the museum’s collection spanning 5,000 years of art. The event is an opportunity for Wikimedia communities to engage The Met's diverse Asian collections onsite and remotely. Asia Art Archive will host a sister event in Hong Kong next week.
