Committees

When you update the committee lists for Congress, can you please keep the old (112th) lists and add a new 113th?—GoldRingChip 20:49, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

  • See, e.g., my recent edit of United States House Committee on Appropriations—GoldRingChip 20:52, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
  • The consensus style for committee articles is to replace the previous congress with the new one. See Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Committees. It is not meant to be a listing of all historical members of the committees. I have actually thought there should be some sort of listing like this, and have a related sandbox. I would support the creation of membership sub-articles, especially for extremely long-lived and notable committees like Appropriations. If you want to propose that on the WikiProject, I'd support you. But I'd rather only display the current members in the main article.DCmacnut<> 21:04, 4 January 2013 (UTC)

Help with fellow editor

There's a user, User:ANTONI20, who means well when she/he edits district pages. Information has been added, but the editor makes additional changes such as removing old information, reformatting lists to out-of-use formats, and using reverse chronological order. You can find some of our discussions on her/his and my talk pages. Please keep an eye on this editor's work as it overlaps with yours. Let's make helpful suggestions and keep this editor doing good work. It's frustrating, but maybe she/he will learn.—GoldRingChip 12:51, 8 January 2013 (UTC)

Your reaction to...

Dcmacnut:

As far as I can tell, you are one who has dome the most edits to the article: United States House Committee on Science, Space and Technology. As such, I'd like your reaction to something. I've been editing (or wasting my job hunting time on) some US House Committee articles, specifically the member lists for the 113th Congress. If you take a look at this URL:

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=United_States_House_Committee_on_Science,_Space_and_Technology&action=history

...you will see three anonymous edits:

10:06, January 9, 2013‎ 173.76.243.219 (talk)‎

10:05, January 9, 2013‎ 173.76.243.219 (talk)‎

10:05, January 9, 2013‎ 173.76.243.219 (talk)‎


Now, in my posting of the "VERSION ONE" of the 113th member lists, I did ask for someone to double check my work... I just wasn't expecting it to be done anonymously. As a result, I don't even know if a posting to the 173.76.243.219 talk page would work.



My concerns are:

(1) Did this guy even do the Verify that is needed, and

(2) I disagree about deleting the "New Members for 113th" sections.


What's your opinion?

Should I undo everything he/she did or just the part I object to?

LP-mn (talk) 17:22, 10 January 2013 (UTC)



=Huh..., Committees & North Dakota=

Huh. I didn't know one could create separate sandboxes. Cool. Check out mine to see a mess of old ones.

As for the committees, eh. OK.

Footnotes on all the newest, or perhaps even EVERY member might be a good idea. In any case, I'll leave it up to you to figure out.

BTW #1: Do you have a feel for when the resolutions will be passed for the remaining members of the various committees?

BTW #2: I noticed you're from the Dakotas; North Dakota if I recall correctly. Are you from the Eastern part, around Fargo/Jamestown/Grand Forks areas or are you from the West end, around Williston/Minot/Bismarck areas?

LP-mn (talk) 01:38, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

=Williston Oil Fields=

Huh. For a while there I was considering going to work in the Williston area oil fields. Kids and wife make that difficult; housing makes it near impossible. I'm an out-of-work electrician who's job hunting.

LP-mn (talk) 02:57, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

===Budget Committee members?===

Take a look at: United_States_House_Committee_on_the_Budget#Members.2C_113th_Congress.

You'll notice that it does NOT have any new information for the Republican members of the committee. Have you seen any HRes about this? I've not been able to find one using the search engine at thomas.loc.gov. Better yet, do you know if Chairman Ryan has intentionally NOT filled out his committee for some sort of Machiavellian (sp?) reason?

LP-mn (talk) 23:35, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

=Appropriation's example=

Here's another one to check out: United_States_House_Committee_on_Appropriations#Members.2C_113th_Congress.

I added footnotes on a variety of committees (in the House), THIS one however has footnotes for EVERY member of the 113th, stating which resolution elected them, which ones were new, etc.

Your reactions?

LP-mn (talk) 23:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

:First, a quote of yours:

::On your reference example, there's a simpler method to call the references using named refs. That's too many footnotes. For DCmacnut<> 01:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)a list like this, I think it's sufficient for a single reference for the entire list feather than person-by-person. DCmacnut<> 01:19, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

:Re the footnotes and/or references, I agree, there has to be a simpler method. I've seen it done, past tense, by someone else. What I don't know is HOW to do it, present tense, by myself. Perhaps each member would still have a footnote (or perhaps not), but down in the footnote section, the end result is something on the order of "ibid", or perhaps each member (who is included in a particular resolution) would share the same footnote number. Again, I know it can be done, I've just not been able to figure out HOW.

LP-mn (talk) 13:36, 20 January 2013 (UTC)



:::UPDATE: I just found this article (again?): Help:Footnotes#Multiple_references_to_the_same_footnote.

LP-mn (talk) 13:50, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

==There... (Better)==

Take a new look at United_States_House_Committee_on_Appropriations#Members.2C_113th_Congress; it's better, but by no means perfect. Reactions?

LP-mn (talk) 14:15, 20 January 2013 (UTC)




BTW/FYI: The only reason I worked on Appropriations was that I thought it was a popular site for editors to go to. Now that I've put my two-cents in for this committee, I may be working on those that I actually _DO_ have some concern over. These include:

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Financial_Services
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Transportation_and_Infrastructure
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Agriculture

a lower priority include:

  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Natural_Resources
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_Small_Business_Committee
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Committee_on_Foreign_Affairs
  • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_House_Judiciary_Committee

LP-mn (talk) 14:23, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

===17:18, 20 January 2013 (UTC)===

Yea, I saw the edits that you or someone else made to appropriations, that solution seems fine. _BUT_ I do want to emphasize that in some cases later resolutions place a member higher up in Committee seniority (prior service, etc.). These situations need to be clarified in the footnotes/references.

LP-mn (talk) 13:08, 21 January 2013 (UTC)

===={{USBill|113|HRes|42}} (D?)====

I added the {{USBill|113|HRes|42}} link to six or seven pages, inclusive of those mentioned in the resolution.

Also, I don't follow the template update comment you made.

Size of congressional committees

Do you know how it's decided how many members of each party get to be on a committee. That is, how the proportion of the House, as a whole, is reflected in the committee?—GoldRingChip 17:55, 5 February 2013 (UTC)

:Committee ratios generally follow the full chambers party ratio. In the Senate, committee size is capped, but on many committees the cap is routinely waived by agreement of both parties. In the House, there are no caps, and the party in control will either add majority seats or delete minority seats as needed to have a majority/minority ration that reflects the full House. But there's no hard and fast rule.DCmacnut<> 20:21, 6 February 2013 (UTC)

New U.S. legislative data project

Hi there, Dcmacnut! I'm working with a group of Wikipedians on a Legislative Data Workshop to explore ways of using legislative data to enhance Wikipedia, and since it's a subject area you've been active with, I figured you might like to know of it.

An exciting month of wiki events!

Hello there,

I am pleased to say that April will be a very exciting month for Wikipedia in Washington, DC. We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from.

First, a reminder that our second annual Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.

Coming up in April, we have our first-ever [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805 Open Government WikiHack] with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a happy hour the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation.

On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics.

The following day, we are having our second annual Wiki Loves Capitol Hill training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week.

There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our meetup page with the latest. I hope to see you at some of these events!

All the best,
James Hare

Wikimedia DC invites revolutionaries, free thinkers, and other sundry editors to a DC WikiSalon

The WikiSalon is a special meetup usually held during the first and third full weeks of every month, from 7 PM to 9 PM. It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own.

If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor. We will be in the conference room.

When: Wednesday, September 17, 2014 at 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM

Where: The Cove, Dupont Circle, 1730 Connecticut Avenue NW, 2nd floor, 20009, DC

Asian 10,000 Challenge invite

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject Asia/The 10,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge and Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more countries than they might otherwise work on. There's also the possibility of establishing smaller country or regional challenges for places like South East Asia, Japan/China or India etc, much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of countries regularly contributing. At some stage we hope to run some contests to benefit Asian content, a destubathon perhaps, aimed at reducing the stub count would be a good place to start, based on the current Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon which has produced near 200 articles in just three days. If you would like to see this happening for Asia, and see potential in this attracting more interest and editors for the country/countries you work on please sign up and being contributing to the challenge! This is a way we can target every country of Asia, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant! Thank you. --Ser Amantio di NicolaoChe dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 01:42, 20 October 2016 (UTC)

Help in Japanese Wikipedia

Hi from Germany! Please excuse my English as it is not my mother tongue. A German text from me would sure be more polite. I just wrote a new article about a very special lake at my hometown: Bucket Lake. The lake and its genesis is documented by film. From the beginning, the lake has also attracted attention in Japan. And so the short documentary is now translated to Japanese by German pupils ([http://www.shz.de/lokales/eckernfoerder-zeitung/der-eimersee-wird-zum-festivalstar-id15526211.html see this article in German Newspaper]). I would be very happy if you could start at least a stub at the Japanese Wikipedia. Maybe this encourages somebody to expand it.

----

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.

Call for presentations for WikiConference North America 2022 and OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA

This is a call for presentations by EOD, Sunday, October 15, for WikiConference North America (Nov 11-13), held jointly with OpenStreetMap US's Mapping USA. We encourage you to please submit your Wikipedia and Wikimedia proposals at :Wikiconference:2022/Submissions or OpenStreetMap US proposals at [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeJuZPa-01jb53u82YXRPlxZp2xad6I_StrbZQKacdbnWxd-Q/viewform Call for Proposals: WikiConference North America + Mapping USA].

We are sending this mass message to you because we deduced that you may be in North America and interested in maps in Wikimedia or Wikipedia, [https://www.openstreetmap.org/ OpenStreetMap], or [https://openhistoricalmap.org/ OpenHistoricalMaps]. We are looking for lightning talks in particular on Friday, Nov 11. Some suggestions:

  • Cultural similarities and differences, for instance OpenStreetMap and Wikivoyage (map and describe what you know) versus Wikipedia (verify with citations)
  • Type of licensing for each project and how they differ: OpenStreetMap, Commons, Wikidata, and Wikipedia
  • The flow of information from one project into another, and how maps are generated
  • How OpenHistoricalMap works and possible interactions with Wikimedia projects
  • Your ideas!
