We hope you will continue to leave messages and entries for this effort.

We are living in complicated times. In moments like these, the Wikimedia movement is more important than ever.

Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight	USA/ Nevada City, California, USA	A sunny morning when three pine trees in Nevada City, California, USA were practicing social distancing. (15 May 2020)	Mostly, I create articles on Wikipedia about women writers and sometimes, other women's biographies, in support of WikiProject Women in Red. I'm also plodding along with my "Women Writers in Review" project on Wikidata.	Looking forward to a time when we can get together again.	@JSFarman: @Merrilee: @Penny Richards: --Rosiestep (talk) 16:45, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
Penny Richards	USA	UnderseaChalkArt2020	I edit mostly women's biographies with WikiProject Women in Red. Last night I started an article on a Polish violinist, en:Eugenia Argiewicz (1887-1969).

Pete Forsyth	USA/ Portland	My friend Rev. Phil Sano organized a dance party in Portland to honor our dear friend Kelly Peach, who died recently. The event was held an empty movie theater parking lot, where we could dance with plenty of space for social distancing (between those who do not live together). It's important to keep up our connections in a time like this, as difficult as it can be. Thank you Phil for pulling this together.	These days, I am mostly editing English Wikisource, Wikipedia and Wikidata. I am working on News on Wiki, an effort to improve wiki coverage of news outlets, and transcribing old books on Oregon history.	Hello, Wikimedians! I hope all my friends and colleagues on the wiki are staying healthy and keeping your spirits up. These are difficult times. Our efforts on wiki are as important as ever, with so much confusion and misinformation in the world. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC) P. S. I tweeted my check-in here.
