See our past years' local celebrations at:

:Wikipedia Day 2010 NYC

:Wikipedia Day 2011 NYC

:Wikipedia Day 2012 NYC

* FYI: January 15 is known as Wikipedia Day to Wikipedians. On this date in the year 2001, the wiki-based Wikipedia project went public after spending five days on Nupedia.

:: I would love feedback and assistance from any Wikipedia:GLAM folks on approaches to expanding the template category :Category:Museums external links templates to include more collections within the GLAM space for entities that publish digitized content with unique identifiers. These links might enhance articles and provide additional references, citations, and Works and publications information to Wikipedia entries. I have found that the material is already part of citations, but the link to digital collection -- similar to Magic words ISBN and/or OCLC templates -- is not established. And like adding ISBN and OCLC links, would increase engagement and quality of articles

::: Also: The category name seems to be limited to only Museums -- was hoping for feedback on if it should be more inclusive to GLAM all members (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums)
