File:A very beautiful Nectarine Pie.jpg Have some pie with your beer! And thanks very much for writing your Op-ed piece in The Wikipedia Signpost in this week's issue it was a most heartening and upbeat and enlightening take on things of late around here. :) — Cirt (talk) 01:26, 26 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

A brownie for you!

File:Brownie transparent.png I just wanted to thank you for your Op-Ed article "Can we please stop bashing Wikipedia?" in the September 23, 2015, "Signpost". It was well written, you made good points, and your enthusiasm for Wikipedia was evident. Thanks again. Corinne (talk) 00:13, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Reply
Thanks a lot, Corinne. Yes, I've been very enthusiastic about Wikipedia since the very first moment I started participating. Both the fellow Wikipedians and the mission in general have enriched my life tremendously. I'm glad this came across. --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 03:58, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

A barnstar for you!

Just read your Op-Ed - as a jaded admin and arb who sees the worst of Wikipedia more often than he'd like, let me say a profound "thank you" for the most positive Signpost article I've read in quite a long time. Yunshui  13:24, 29 September 2015 (UTC)Reply

Bay Area WikiSalon series kickoff, April 27

Template:Letterhead start

Script error: No such module "Check for unknown parameters".

A Wikipedia panel discussion about journalism
Panel discussion at a recent Wikipedia & Journalism event.

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts in the San Francisco Bay Area will gather to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. We have two brief presentations lined up for our kickoff event in downtown San Francisco:

  • The Nueva Upper School recently hosted the first ever high school Wikipedia edit-a-thon. We will hear what interests them about Wikipedia, what they have learned so far, and what they hope to achieve.
  • Photojournalist Kris Schreier Lyseggen, author of The Women of San Quentin: The Soul Murder of Transgender Women in Male Prisons, will tell us about her work and how she researched the topic.

We allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. We will have beverages and light snacks.

Please note: You must register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict on this point.

For further details, see here: Wikipedia:Bay Area WikiSalon, April 2016

We hope to see you -- and until then, happy editing! - Pete, Ben & Wayne Template:Letterhead end

Invitation to the Bay Area WikiSalon series, Wednesday, June 29

Template:Letterhead start

Please join us in downtown San Francisco!
A Wikipedia panel discussion about journalism

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts gather at Bay Area WikiSalon to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas.

We make sure to allow time for informal conversation and working on articles. Newcomers and experienced wiki users are encouraged to attend. Free Wi-Fi is available so bring your editing devices. We will have beverages and light snacks. We will also have:

  • A brief report on Pride edit-a-thon recently held at the San Francisco Publice Library, coordinated by Merrilee:
    What topics might we cover in a follow up?
    Find out more about resources your public library provides to help with editing (hint, it's more than just books!)
    Special announcement (secret for now but come and find out more!)
  • Join in on an in person Wikidojo!
    Are you curious how your peers approach writing a Wikipedia article? This exercise, pioneered by Wikipedians Nikola Kalchev and Vassia Atanassova in 2015 and conducted in many places around the world, will help us all - from first-time wiki users to veteran Wikipedians - share ideas, while building an article together. If you have ideas (relating to Bay Area history, ideally) about a new article we could build (stubs and short existing articles are fine), please submit them ahead of time to coordinator Pete Forsyth. (User talk page or email is fine.)
    Announcements and impromptu topics are welcome, too!

Please note: You must register here, and bring a photo ID that matches your registration name. The building policy is strict.

Template:Letterhead start

Please join us in the Mission at Noisebridge (one time change of venue)!
A Wikipedia panel discussion about journalism

We hope you can join us today, Wednesday, from 6 p.m. on, at our July Bay Area WikiSalon. This month only, we are going to be at Noisebridge, a hackerspace/makerspace 1.5 blocks from the 16th & Mission BART station (see the link for directions). Some of us will be working on the Wikipedia article on basic income. All info here. Some good news - we do not have to be as strict about advance RSVP at Noisebridge, so bring spontaneous guests!

Come and hang out, have some light snacks. Wi-Fi is available, so please bring your editing device if you plan to edit.

Also, Pete just published a writeup of the Wikidojo exercise we did last month. Your comments welcome, if he missed anything! http://wikistrategies.net/ghost-town-royals-wikidojo

The last Wednesday evening of every month, wiki enthusiasts gather at Bay Area WikiSalon to collaborate, mingle, and learn about new projects and ideas. Mark you calendars now.

Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia milestone

Hello Frank, I remember that you were involved in the early days of the Wikipedia Education Program, and I think that at one time you were supporting an initiative in Egypt. I thought that you would like to know that Egyptian Arabic Wikipedia reached the 500,000 article milestone. ↠Pine () 16:06, 15 May 2020 (UTC)Reply

Hey Pine, thanks for notifying me. Yes, that's an amazing accomplishment of the community on the Arabic Wikipedia and they can be very proud of their work. I'm still in touch with some of the friends in Egypt and I will never forget their hospitality on my many trips to the Middle East and North Africa.

Happy holidays!

Happy New Year!

Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, Frank!

The other day, I was having a conversation with someone about holiday cards and social media. It occurred to me that, in the years since I left Facebook, the site I use most to communicate with people I like isn't actually a social media site at all. If you're receiving this, it's pretty likely I've talked with you more recently than I have my distant relatives and college friends on FB, at very least, and we may have even collaborated on something useful. So here's a holiday "card", Wikipedia friend. :) Hope the next couple weeks bring some fun and/or rest. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:21, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks a lot, Rhododendrites! I hope you're also going to have a wonderful time over the next couple of weeks. If the weather permits, I'll go on some short photography trips. Currently, I'm still working on getting ready for my first exhibition in April. That being said, I think it's fair to say that you had an amazing run with your featured pictures on Commons. I wish next year will be as successful for you as this one! All the best, --Frank Schulenburg (talk) 20:50, 22 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Congrats on the exhibit! That's really exciting. Let me know when there are more details available and I'll drop a note at the Signpost newsroom (if you don't beat me to it). Definitely something worth sharing. I remember Template:U got a book of his video game-related Commons photography published, but yeah this is the first show/exhibit I've heard of! Good stuff. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 15:43, 23 December 2022 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I'll keep you in the loop. I expect the museum to have an announcement on its website early next year and I also think we're going to get some news coverage. If everything goes well, Victor and some people from the Bay Area will be here for the opening. I'm currently spending my free time on getting the prints ready for framing.

Luxembourgers in Amerika

Howdy Frank, in case you are interested, I found an article about Luxembourgers in America in German, and am interested in improving both the articles about Americans and Chicagoans, if you can help me to glean any facts from this cc-licensed magazine from 1935:
