Agenda: the main focus will be to improve Seattle and adjacent articles.
The content assessment for this page is that it is of top importance to WikiProject Seattle yet it has only been rated as a Class C. (See Seattle articles by quality statistics above or to the right.)
The Seattle article is semi-protected, which means that you need to be autoconfirmed to edit it. {{If IP|{{color|DarkRed|You are not logged in}}, so we cannot confirm if you have an account or are autoconfirmed|Your account {{If autoconfirmed|{{color|DarkGreen|is autoconfirmed}}|{{color|DarkRed|is not autoconfirmed}}. Your account must be at least 4 days old and have made at least 10 edits to be considered autoconfirmed}}}}.
Please ensure that you have enabled Add an [edit] link for the lead section of a page (at Appearance) in your gadget preferences so that each of us can edit that independent of the other sections.
In progress – task list on the talk page.
{{U|Peaceray}} will offer a brief tutorial at the start for new Wikipedians.

Wish I could go, don't have the transportation, and important jrotc events for me∞ HadesTheFighter (talk) 05:39, 7 January 2025 (UTC)
Actually, I'm not going. Why? Cause I'm a minor. DorkLore (talk) 03:56, 9 January 2025 (UTC)
:Minors are welcome, too. I think one of our most prolific editors started at age 10 back in the late-aughts. He will be attending as well. Peaceray (talk) 05:13, 9 January 2025 (UTC)

Will bring a few useful books to aid in the effort. Sounder Bruce 03:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)
{{ping|SounderBruce}} If you post a list of ISBNs on the talk page, I will prepare a list of citations, including links to online or previews for the books. You don't need to post them all at once; I will just process them intermittently until the day before. Peaceray (talk) 18:08, 19 December 2024 (UTC)
{{ping|Peaceray}} Added a few to the talk page. I also have some books on hold at the branch that should hopefully be ready for Saturday. Sounder Bruce 03:37, 5 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm interested in coming. I've only done a small amount of sporadic Wikipedia editing. Excited to do more & learn more about Seattle's history! I might leave early though because I have a real weird sleep schedule. skyvine (talk) 20:46, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
It's been ages since I've been an active editor. It will be fun and informative to see what's going on, and if there's anything I might be able to involve myself in. Mzamora (talk) 21:23, 10 January 2025 (UTC)
CoffeeGrahams (talk) 01:40, 11 January 2025 (UTC)* Hi, this will be my first meetup and I am also bringing another person with me. I'm pretty excited!
