Request for comment

I am drafting a proposal at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pine/drafts/ENWP_Board_of_Education and would like input from chapters. I would appreciate comments on the talk page. Thank you! Pine^(talk) 10:47, 4 May 2012 (UTC)

Meeting minutes

Is there a repository of meeting minutes posted anywhere? Here is what I have for tonight - Wikimedia New York City/2012July25. Blue Rasberry (talk) 01:15, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Names for events

There are two names for two events, I think. Something called the Wikipedia Salon seems also to have been called at different times the bi-monthly in-person meetup. Are these events the same? Can their histories be merged?

It seems like Wikipedia Takes Manhattan is a photo scavenger hunt for the autumn, and lately this event seems superseded by Wiki Loves Monuments. Can we merge the history of Wikipedia Takes Manhattan as a scavenger hunt into Wiki Loves Monuments, and then perhaps use "Wikipedia Takes Manhattan" for some other kind of event?

Merge of locations

There are three places where people can get information about this chapter. I think that all the places are important and that we should keep these three, but we ought to plan for what kind of information goes where.

Here is our external website - http://nyc.wikimedia.org/wiki/Home I propose that this be an exhibition of the chapter's best-sounding accomplishments. This should be the address which we give to non-Wikipedians who want to scrutinize the chapter for some reason, but who would be unlikely themselves to participate in Wikipedia. Very little about this site should be interactive or request that users do anything, and this site should be updated rarely.

Here is the site on meta. Wikimedia New York City I propose that this be the running wiki of all the kinds of information which Wikipedians collect to meta-document their Wikipedia documentation practices in the chapter.

Here is the Wikipedia meetup page. Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC I propose that events be posted here for the sake of users who find it convenient to watch a Wikipedia page rather than a meta page. I propose that no history of any kind be kept here except for sign-ups for specific events. Once the events are over then the event and sign-up list should be moved to the meta page as a historical record.

Is this the way things ought to be? Does anyone have an alternate proposal? If my description of how things are is correct, then I propose to develop the meta page first, then sort out upcoming events on Wikipedia, then plan to have a simple mostly-static website based on what we discover during the meta page development. Thoughts? Blue Rasberry (talk) 19:47, 26 July 2012 (UTC)

Spanish page

I started a Spanish page for Wikimedia NYC. If anyone wants to add more, please do WhisperToMe (talk) 23:15, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

• Should Wikimedia New York City/Participants be bilingual? Or should there be a separate Spanish participants page? WhisperToMe (talk) 11:33, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
