Film History

Thank you for your invite. I am pretty much a film noir historian, and just added some corrections and additions to the American Mutoscope and Biograph Compnay, an old silent film company's article. I noticed 3 million+ corrections, but there were still some incorrect references, probably oversights. I am also working on others soon.

Thanks, and please feel free to let me know any other information.

IP vandalism

Hi GChriss. Thanks for messaging me about this. I don't know if anything's really become of it. You'd probably know if another admin blocked the whole IP range for Penn State. The Vincent Gallo article gets edited by a lot of IPs; you could check to see if the same zealot(s) are still active there. If so, talking to your network security expert might be a good idea. If I come across any persistent vandalism from this IP range again, I'll let you know. Cheers! --Fang Aili 說嗎? 03:27, 5 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey GChriss

Glad you like the template I am using for welcoming. Welcoming has been one of my approaches to the community and developing a strong encylcopedia. I find that welcomes with a great deal of information are most useful and generally appear to be most appreciated. I did not create the whole thing, I borrowed parts, not much unlike you are now usig it now. Like everything in wikipedia, none of us own anything. Actually, the fact that we share and collaborate as we do is a major draw for me to work/play here. Thanks for your kind words and for the good work you are doing.

Best, -- Kukini 04:08, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Zapata Corporation

I just now saw your comment on my page, about Zapata Corporation. Looks like this article is about to go through lots of focus and discussion. Your input is welcomed! I've suggested that it be split into two articles, one on business and the other on politics. What do you think? (I can see some drawbacks to doing this -- it gets away from the gestalt "whole" connectedness, and it may turn the political one into an outlet for partisan warfare. I fear Wikipedia is heading in that direction, on many topics. *sigh*) Anyway, thanks again for your nice comment, very much appreciated! Eugene Banks 17:48, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

Traveling to Wikimania

Hi Laurascudder,

I [http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimania_2006/Attendees#Definitely noticed] that you are likely driving to Wikimania from Pittsburg. If you are taking I-80, myself and possibly one other Wikipedian are just a short hop along the way, located in State College, PA. I would be willing to split gas costs, so if you are interested just let me know. Thanks! GChriss 17:41, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

:I've finally settled on driving from Pittsburgh rather than flying, in which case I'll certainly welcome any company. — Laura Scudder ☎ 19:09, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the note....

The reason this come up was that the thought occurred to me "wouldn't it be better if the Communist Party of China participated in wikipedia instead of censoring it" but then I realized that this raises a whole host of issues that aren't limited to China. A lot of the issues in getting the Communist Party of China to somehow participate in Wikipedia are going to be faced in getting the Democratic and Republican Parties to participate in wikipedia.

I think that the solution might be to have "interlocutors." When the US and Chinese governments want to brainstorm, they use someone like members of a think tank that speak for themselves, but have close relations with each government. Interlocutors are useful because what they say is unofficial which gives them freedom to actually say useful things.

I suspect that the solution for companies and governments may be to find interlocutors to communicate with wikipedia. Company A might find someone retired and just ask them to participate in wikipedia. That person would have the freedom to speak for themselves, and nothing they say would be official, but they also have close relations with the companies.

Pennsylvania State University Athletics

There seems to be a belief that pages about schools athletic teams should be titled as they are most commonly known as. I think a more logical name for this page would actual be Penn State Nittany Lions. If you check the other Big Ten schools for example they are listed in this manner ie Minnesota Golden Gophers, Ohio State Buckeyes etc. If you are concern about confusion with Nittany Lion

a note can be placed at the beginning of the article. however I don't think many people (at least people familar with US college sports teams names will be confused by the title.Smith03 15:48, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

:Ok, fair enough. In addition to being clearly distinct from Nittany Lion, a reason that I didn't mention was the ability of Pennsylvania State University Athletics to be broader atricle that can encompass sports facilities, IM teams, non-competitive athletics, etc... GChriss 14:29, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Take a look at Minnesota Golden Gophers we have facilities information. As for as IM teams I am not sure that would make anymore sense on Pennsylvania State University Athletics vs PSNL. IMO either term would only mean intercollegitic (sp) teams Smith03 17:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Concerning your Portal Proposal

I noticed you proposed Portal:Presenting Wikipedia and it was summarily blocked by those who opposed it. This appears to have been in violation of Wikipedia's policy Wikipedia is not censored.

[[Vernon Wells]]

Howdy, just so you know, I merely formatted what was in this article. I didn't add any additional information. I think I did remove one line that seemed out-of-place. Even though I don't particularly care for the topic, I treated it as objectively as I could. Most of my edits are made for spelling, formatting, punctuation, and such. Personally I think the whole article should be deleted. Schmiteye 23:50, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

No group accounts?

One thing that is interesting is that I can see some use for establishing a convention that there are no group/corporate accounts on wikipedia. There is something that deeply disturbs me about group/corporate accounts, but I can't figure out exactly what it is.

Shave brush article

If I'd not brought my extraordinary shave brush article to your attention, I doubt that you would have tagged it. In any case, as snooty an advertisement as it may be, I have determined unto myself to purchase for you a quality shave brush and safety razor (or a straight razor, if you can handle one) before the end of the semester so you can experience the effects of wet-shaving for yourself.

I will work on sourcing the page; however, I think that your sanctimoniousness regarding the article--particularly the "snooty" comment--happens to elucidate your self-awareness as a Wikipedia editor. I don't see a problem in the article worth such comments. I would in fact argue that it's a better article by a long shot than most of what's written on Wikipedia.

There may be a speck in my eye, but there's a plank in the eyes of countless others who post articles and edits. Since you and I are friends, I further believe that your editing such an article constitutes a conflict of interest and would suggest you allow another Wikipedia editor to look at it and tag it if her or she will. This way you can focus guiltlessly on the hundreds of thousands of other articles in need of far more work.

I am, of course,

The Phyrst

Hi Chris, I would leave The Phryst's Wikipedia page there. It does need to be cleaned up, but not deleted. I'm not sure if you're a student or a graduate, but i have been at Penn State for 7 years and work at HRB Systems, where the founders started. This place has LOTS of history and means a LOT to alumni. I understand your point about what happens should everyone author an article about their favorite bar—and they have a right to do so. If a bar is not notable, it will show in the articles, and the page should be nominated for deletion. However, I think it's a disservice to take down The Phyrst's article simply because it's new when you have no-name wikipages for things such as Are_You_Hungry, which has little notability listing on the page and has even a menu available. DP Dough deserves more of a page due to its history than this place! Thanks!

Idg101 21:13, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

:Hello User:Idg101. Has The Phyrst been the subject of any reputable publications, demonstrating more than local interest? (For example, Gary Cattell and the Willard Building didn't make the cut.) I think The Phyrst deserves a page [http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2006/02/02-10-06tdc/02-10-06dnews-12.asp somewhere], but unfortunately not on Wikipedia. I still love the fries.

:Unfortunately, editing Ogg Theora "comments" (i.e., metadata) is not well supported at the moment. [http://easytag.sourceforge.net/ EasyTAG] and [http://amarok.kde.org/ Amarok] seem to be good options for Vorbis streams, but Theora support is not listed. If you are adventurous with the command line, Daniel Holth has written [http://lists.xiph.org/pipermail/theora-dev/2005-December/002934.html a script] that will do the job.

:For simple text substitution, directly editing the file with a hex editor may be an option. Search the stream for "Title 1".

Copyright & Cindy Cohn

Hello GCHRIss, you left me a message and I'm sorry it took so long, but the information about Cindy Cohn that was taken from their website was taken from the EFF site, which is under a license that allows it to be freely copied. Additionally, the author of that content, Cindy Cohn, made a comment letting us know about the license free use. What is funny about this, is that Cindy Cohn is the lead staff lawyer fro the Electronic Frontier Foundation that is the leading organization regarding intellectual property rights on the internet. Let's coordinate, since I'm going to work on her page again and will probably use some of the content from their site, which is available. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Ronreed (talk • contribs){{#if:18 May 2007 21:51 (UTC)| 18 May 2007 21:51 (UTC)|}}.

Merging of sofia and sophia.

Hi. Back in march you suggested that sofia and sophia be merged.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sofia_%28disambiguation%29&diff=prev&oldid=118046219]

I have decided to try to clean up the sophia dab page. And feel that a good place to start is to undo this merge. Sofia has enough entries to stand as a dab page on it's own, and there are too many entries on sophia.

Do you have any strong feelings about this?

I will move the people out to a stand alone list, and are not sure if I should make a seperate list for people names sofia and sophia or if this should just be a single list. Taemyr 17:40, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

:Taking a second look, in March I did not realize that Sofia (disambiguation) and Sophia were spelled differently. How about not merging the two, trimming excess Sophia entries, and moving Sophia to Sophia (disambiguation)? Thanks for the heads up, GChriss <always listening><c> 18:03, 16 June 2007 (UTC)

Penn State Wiki

Hi... saw your project as a pending one on the School and University Projects page in the English langauge Wikipedia. I am registered in the English and Spanish wikipedia as Thelmadatter (my last name). I am a college English prof at ITESM-Campus Toluca. You are still listed as a pending project although the date is from last semester. I saw the links about the wiki on the Wikis page. Last I read, the idea is not supported by Penn State. However, did you go ahead with itanyway? The site exists although I cannot enter because I dont have a Penn State ID, of course.

I ask so I can updage the Projects page and out of curiosity. I am working with Wikipedia extensively this semester. See my user page if youre interested.

Thanks for your time.

Rene Portland

I'm a Penn State professor and a longtime friend of Rene Portland. I'm not sure it's fair to say (as one of the headlines on her page says) that she always banned lesbians from her team. After Penn State adopted the nondiscriminatory language her policy was not to ask about this. However, she told me that she did have a policy that her players were not to "date each other."

Some may see this as the same as barring lesbians. I see it as more like "don't ask don't tell." I also think that Joe Paterno probably has a similar policy, either tacit or explicit--and that no one here at Penn State would ever challenge him on that. I doubt very seriously if Penn State would have allowed at Beaver Stadium the kinds of vocal protests that occured at the Jordan Center.

Rene's story is also interesting because of her long fight for salary equity between men's and women's team coaches. She struggled for years simply to get paid as much as the men's basketball coaches who were losing many more games. I remember speaking with her the day she negotiated her first "big money" contract. She told me how much bad feeling there seemed to be on the part of "Old Main," i.e., Spanier. Part of me still believes that Spanier wanted to find a way to pull the rug out from under Rene by allowing the GLBT student groups to wage protests against her over time, then waiting for the right moment to fire her. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hohhot1 (talk • contribs) 14:20, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

:Thank you for the comment.

:The "Homosexuality controversy" section can be edited to the degree that there are verifiable sources that substantiate all information presented. I am aware that finding such citations is non-trivial due to the [http://www.collegian.psu.edu/archive/2007/12/19/harris_portland_curley_may_be.aspx confidential nature] of [http://live.psu.edu/story/17387 the internal investigation] and [http://live.psu.edu/story/22112 out-of-court settlement,] but there are other sources that might be appropriate such as records kept by the University Faculty Senate. I encourage you to propose and discuss article-specific changes on the article talk page where they may be considered by volunteer editors; the article can and should be improved for accuracy, nuance, and overall presentation.

:The concerns about an antagonistic climate at Penn State should be presented in a public forum such that a consensus is reached and the underlying issues resolved. [http://onwardstate.com/ Onward State] is preparing a post based on your comment, and I think other online and traditional venues would also take interest.

:I will be attending [http://www.trainingrules.com/screenings.html#penn the screening of "Training Rules"] this Thursday so that I may better appreciate the cultural shifts that have taken place over the last several decades. It is indeed a compelling story.

New image project

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested.

Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:23, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi George! I hope you are thinking about coming to WikiConference USA May 30-June 1st in NYC. I'd love to have you submit a 'lightning talk' or workshop proposal on your various open imagining and open source software projects and partnerships. Check out http://wikiconferenceusa.org/ for details, and let me know if you have any questions! It'd be great to have you out to the conference either way, but I do think your workshop would be interesting to the rest of the community.

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

For more information, see http://www.meetup.com/Wikimedia-DC/events/205500822/

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 global partnerships page to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.

You are invited to join us for a full day 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.

::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 global partnerships page to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.

We hope to see you there!--Pharos (talk) 19:58, 7 October 2015 (UTC)

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 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.

::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.

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

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.

The museum is excited to work with 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.
