Draft: Kylie Auldist

Hi, I saw you declined an earlier version of this AFC submission. The original submitter has done some referencing work on it, and I came across it today (intending to write the article myself) and added more. Auldist meets WP:MUSIC bullets 1 and 5 and the article now reflects this. Do you mind if I move the article to mainspace myself? Not sure what AFC's policies on this are, since you've already initiated the review process. Chubbles (talk) 01:41, 28 January 2015 (UTC)

@Chubbles: Hello! Well, once you have submitted the draft for the review, you should wait until it get approved meanwhile you can edit the draft and improve its quality but do not move it under the main-space article since it won't be appreciated. The current draft is not eligible for the main-space article, you are requested to see the decline reason. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 15:48, 29 January 2015 (UTC)

Do keep in mind that I am not the author of the original submission, and so am not responsible for submitting the draft for review (or re-review, as the case may be). Though if I can usurp the OP's role in submission for the sake of greasing the wheels of the process, I suppose I wouldn't mind having that power. Chubbles (talk) 02:51, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

@Chubbles: It was the suggestion. Well, you need to accept the article in order to do that. — CutestPenguin^Hangout 13:51, 30 January 2015 (UTC)

Museum hacks and museum edits

Hello there!

Upcoming events:

February 6–8: The third annual ArtBytes Hackathon at the Walters Art Museum! This year Wikimedia DC is partnering with the Walters for a hack-a-thon at the intersection of art and technology, and I would like to see Wikimedia well represented.
February 11: The monthly WikiSalon, same place as usual. RSVP on Meetup or just show up!
February 15: Wiki Loves Small Museums in Ocean City. Mary Mark Ockerbloom, with support from Wikimedia DC, will be leading a workshop at the Small Museum Association Conference on how they can contribute to Wikipedia. Tons of representatives from GLAM institutions will be present, and we are looking for volunteers. If you would like to help out, check out "Information for Volunteers".

I am also pleased to announce events for Wikimedia DC Black History Month with Howard University and NPR. Details on those events soon.

If you have any questions or have any requests, please email me at james.harewikimediadc.org.

See you there! – James Hare

Wikimedia DC celebrates Black History Month, and more!

Hello again!

Not even a week ago I sent out a message talking about upcoming events in DC. Guess what? There are more events coming up in February.

First, as a reminder, there is a WikiSalon on February 11 (RSVP here or just show up) and Wiki Loves Small Museums at the Small Museum Association Conference on February 15 (more information here).

Now, I am very pleased to announce:

Tuesday, February 17 from 10 AM to 3 PM there will be #WikiTurgy at the University of Maryland. Join fellow theatre enthusiasts for a “mass act of public dramaturgy!”
Thursday, February 19 from 10 AM to 4 PM we are hosting the Howard University Black History Edit-a-Thon. We are working in partnership with the Moorland-Spingarn Research Center to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of African-American and African diasporic history.
Tuesday, February 24 from 6 PM to 8 PM we have the Black History Month “First Edit” at NPR. Help improve Wikipedia and help others make their first edit to Wikipedia!
Finally, our monthly dinner meetup is on Saturday, February 28.

There is going to be a lot going on, and I hope you can come to some of the events!

If you have any questions or need any special accommodations, please let me know.

Regards,

James Hare
