(To discontinue receiving Project Genealogy newsletters, please see below) Now 100 supportersEditAt 3 December 2018, the list of users who support the potential Wikimedia genealogy project, reached 100! A demo wiki is up and running!EditYou can already now try out the demo for a genealogy wiki at https://tools.wmflabs.org/genealogy/wiki/Main_Page and try out the functions. You will find parts of the 18th Pharao dynasty and other records submitted by the 7 first users, and it would be great if you would add some records.

World Pride New YorkEdit
Hey,
after a hiatus from Wiki events I wanted to set everything up for Wiki participation in World Pride New York 2019. I think I talked to you about this in Cape Town. For this I wanted to ask you whether you could again tell me the name of the hotel that WMNYC has already collaborated with? The human rights conference which will probably be the most interesting part for us would take place from 24th to 25th of June. The opening ceremony will be on the 26th and the final parade on the 30th.
So we would probably reserve places at the hotel from 24th to 30th of June for a group of let's say 7 people. Could you maybe get in contact with the hotel and tell me whether that would be possible? Just because they already know you it would probably make more sense. You can cc me: saskia.j.ehlers@gmail.com
Also as you're working at the MoMA I wanted to ask if it would be possible to have an editathon at MoMA specifically for LGBT content (and maybe they have an archive / material that we could also use). That would then probably be on the 27th, 28th and 29th of June.
Additionally if WMNYC is already in contact with LGBT organizations or has sponsors in general it would be great if I could get their contact to ask if they would sponsor the event (in terms of flight/ train costs for participants)- public transport, hotel and food would most likely be covered by a Foundation grant.
Best regards and a happy new year --Sparrow (麻雀) 🐧 20:34, 1 January 2019 (UTC)

Aloha Pharos! We corresponded a few years ago, when I was helping to set up an edit-a-thon at WP:GLAM/Doris_Duke_Foundation_for_Islamic_Art. You helped connect us with User:TParis, whose guidance and expertise were invaluable. I'm planning another edit-a-thon, this time at the Honolulu Museum of Art: WP:GLAM/Honolulu_Museum_of_Art. It'll be on Friday, February 8, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm HST. We'll be expanding articles about Hawai'i artists and arts organizations using a newly digitized collection of museum newsletters, among other sources. Two local Wikipedians, User:wmpearl and User:Mcampany will be helping out during the event. Please join us if you can! AwedOakSun (talk) 01:11, 11 January 2019 (UTC)

Hello. It appears your talk page is becoming quite lengthy and is in need of archiving. According to Wikipedia's user talk page guidelines; "Large talk pages become difficult to read, strain the limits of older browsers, and load slowly over slow internet connections. As a rule of thumb, archive closed discussions when a talk page exceeds 75 KB or has multiple resolved or stale discussions." - this talk page is 248.5 KB. See Help:Archiving a talk page for instructions on how to manually archive your talk page, or to arrange for automatic archiving using a bot. If you have any questions, place a {{help me}} notice on your talk page, or go to the help desk. Thank you. --Jax 0677 (talk) 14:30, 26 January 2019 (UTC)

Nomination of Judeopolonia for deletionEdit
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Judeopolonia is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Judeopolonia until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Shibbolethink (♔ ♕) 15:48, 5 March 2019 (UTC)
Template:Did you know nominations/campaign announcement (again)Edit
Hello Pharos. I have noticed that you have not left any comments at your DYK nomination ever since the nomination date, which was back in January, and you have not edited the article at all since nominating it for DYK. This has been in spite of numerous talk page messages and pings. I am leaving you this message as currently there are some issues with the article that are preventing it from being approved for DYK. Pharos, please return to the nomination and leave a message with your thoughts, or please read the messages left at the nomination page and make adjustments to the article if necessary. As the nominator, your feedback and responses is very much appreciated by the DYK contributors. If you are too busy to participate further in the nomination, just leave a message either here or the nomination page, so that other editors can help out in your stead. Thank you and happy editing.

DYK for Presidential campaign announcements in the United StatesEdit
 | On 17 March 2019, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Presidential campaign announcements in the United States, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that a U.S. presidential candidate making a campaign announcement is said to "throw one's hat in the ring", after a boxing metaphor popularized by the Theodore Roosevelt 1912 presidential campaign? You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Presidential campaign announcements in the United States), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

| Thursday April 4 and Friday April 5: Translat-a-thon NYC 2019 @ LaGuardia Community College | |
 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. | |

Orphaned non-free image File:Populist Party of Maryland.PNGEdit
Thanks for uploading File:Populist Party of Maryland.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Randykitty (talk) 10:45, 16 April 2019 (UTC)

Administrator account security (Correction to Arbcom 2019 special circular)Edit
ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.
Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.
We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.
For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)

The 'Chances' for PeaceEdit
Hey- I was looking at the Chance for Peace speech transcript on Wikisource and I realized- the Eisenhower library transcript is likely a flawed or "grammatically rectified" clean-up of the real speech. There's a whole preamble to the speech that isn't included. I'm only one sentence in, and there are two or three minor differences from what I'm hearing to what's in the transcript. I recommend giving a literal transcription of the words he used, and adding the grammatical differences in brackets if they are necessary and proper. I will do this later, but I invite you to give me your advice and join in on the editing (or do it yourself if you want to). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or9I-qElmCY https://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/all_about_ike/speeches/chance_for_peace.pdf https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Chance_for_Peace Geographyinitiative (talk) 04:05, 10 May 2019 (UTC)
Indefinite blocking of IP addressesEdit
Hi Pharos! I hope you're having a great day and that life is treating you well. :-) I'm messaging you because it came to my attention that you blocked IP user 2600:1017:B80F:B7C3:B04B:1068:F2AA:8247 indefinitely. I'm not sure if you did this on accident or not, but I wanted to bring it up to you informally anyways. :-) While the block was certainly justified due to the user's repeated threats and disruption, an indefinite block definitely wasn't. This IP address is allocated to Verizon, a mobile network carrier in the United States. This means that IP addresses will frequently change hands as devices connect and disconnect from their data network and travel from node-to-node, or tower-to-tower. The indefinite block, given its allocation and the fact that it will frequently be handed out to different users over the span of just hours means that it will cause much more harm than good by affecting innocent users who happen to be given that IP address next. There are circumstances that have called for indefinite IP address blocks in the past, but these situations are extremely rare occurrences. I've run into IP users who have needed an indefinite block maybe twice while I've been an admin... so, definitely not a common thing. ;-) Anyways, I just wanted to give you a heads up; the indefinite block has already been fixed by another admin - so no harm done. ;-) If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to let me know and I'll be happy to discuss them with you and help. I hope you have a great weekend and I wish you happy editing. :-D Cheers - ~Oshwah~(talk) (contribs) 02:59, 11 May 2019 (UTC)

Your draft article, Draft:The Annunciation (Sandro Botticelli)Edit
Hello, Pharos. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "The Annunciation".
In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been nominated for deletion. If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. CptViraj (Talk) 03:31, 7 June 2019 (UTC)

I would like to invite you to join us for the trip from Copenhagen to Stockholm. Please let me know if you are interested or not, as I would change the configuration of the seats accordingly and/or offer the trip to travellers outside Wikipedia. --Bahnmoeller (talk) 12:15, 24 July 2019 (UTC)

Hy Richard, here's the Meta page of the campaign (and here is on Italian Wikipedia if you might need it). We have the page about the suggested articles and we also created Wikidata lists about models, fashion houses etc. Please add yours and add you as a coordinator/participant, and your affiliate as supporter. I also want to know more about the event about fashion you said that Wikimedia NY chapter organized about fashion, you can give a lot of input. --Camelia (talk) 09:30, 23 August 2019 (UTC)

How do I pay dues so I can vote for the Board?Edit
I sent this message to Megs: "Could you post the link where I can pay the $5 dues to be eligible to vote 9/25? Thanks. Vyeh (talk) 20:00, 16 September 2019 (UTC)" I haven't received a reply. When I first saw the agenda, there was a board election on it. Now there isn't. When is the board election? BTW, I'm not interested. I'd be very happy if the current board was for life. Vyeh (talk) 15:23, 24 September 2019 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) Hi Vyeh. You can do that online on the Wikimedia NYC website, but we've also typically taken dues on the day of the election. (i.e. online is preferred, but if someone forgets to sign up online, you can just bring $5 to the meeting). — Rhododendrites talk \\ 18:05, 24 September 2019 (UTC)

  The Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon @ The Met will be hosted at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Saturday November 16, 2019 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. 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.

Substantial removals of my editsEdit
Sir, in rescinding my color-coded population charts en masse, you've also removed countless other contributions that were related to population figures that were not a part of the objected-to chart. I would appreciate their restorations, because this is a gargantuan waste of my valuable time having to revisit every single page to see what's missing.DJ Jones74 (talk) 15:29, 10 December 2019 (UTC)
DYK for Concert GroveEdit

The fact was ... that Concert Grove in New York City's Prospect Park is used as a sculpture garden because its acoustics turned out to be bad for musical performances? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Concert Grove. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Concert Grove), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page. |

1632 Rembrandt in Allentown, PennsylvaniaEdit
Pharos,
You're the closest person I know to being an expert who would know anything about this. The Allentown Art Museum has discovered in its Samuel H. Kress collection a 1632 Portrait of a Young Woman, Rembrandt van Rijn. Actually it was originally attributed by Kress as a Rembrandt about 1961, but then downgraded to "workshop of", and now after restoration by NYU, again attributed to Rembrandt.
Ref AP . See also Portrait of a Young Woman (Rembrandt). I was going to add the Allentown pic in there but, probably not yet.
Allentown, pre-restoration, 1632
Web Gallery of Art, possibly his sister. 1632
Nationalmuseum Sweden, 1632
Morehead Planetarium? Chapel Hill, NC c. 1633
Virginia Museum of Fine Art, c.1632
at J. Paul Getty, LA 1632

Looks like a pattern to me. I'll check this out further and will decide if there's anything to do about it. Smallbones(smalltalk) 16:23, 18 February 2020 (UTC)

100th Wikipedia Weekly Youtube Subscriber StubEdit
Hey, Safwan Morshed here. First of all, didn't know Wikipedia Weekly existed till my brother told me about it a couple days ago, and it looks pretty cool. Anyways, regarding the 100th sub stub, a youtuber widely known as Markiplier had started a channel called Unus Annus (latin for "one year") which is a channel which would be deleted after said timeframe from the date of its creation. He had worked with his friend Ethan Nestor on this channel, and they publish videos daily. In one of their daily videos, in which they had to be physically separated during this unfortunate situation, they decided they would do a Wikipedia race, that is, open 2 random articles and start from one and race to the other by clicking each link included or related to the article and its resulting articles. Well, at the end of the video, they found that all mentions of Ethan on Wikipedia were all under Mark's Wikipedia page. I thought it'd be neat if Ethan had his own stub article. Thanks, and keep up the neat stuff! Safan41 (talk) 20:11, 26 April 2020 (UTC)

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our monthly "WikiWednesday" evening salon (7-8pm) and knowledge-sharing workshop. This month, as part of Wikimedia NYC's commitment to the well-being of members, we will hold WikiWednesday online via Zoom videoconferencing! To join the meeting from your computer or smartphone, just visit this link. More information about how to connect is available on the meetup page. We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! This month, we'll check in on the global WikiCup race and have as featured speaker our local champion and frontrunner, who is trying to win it by writing as many new New York City articles as possible, as well as other local and global topics. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda.
We especially encourage folks to add your 3-minute lightning talks to our roster, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! | |

You are invited to join the Wikimedia NYC community for our annual summer Great American Wiknic, this year being held virtually. We look forward to seeing local Wikimedians, but would also like to invite folks from the greater New York metropolitan area (and beyond!) who might not typically be able to join us in person! Featuring artist-Wikimedian Sara Clugage's "Picnics: An Outside History" for a cultural exploration of picnicking, knowledge and society during the national panel in the first part. We encourage you to call in for the second part from a local park or natural site and share it on the video stream, as well as sharing your favorite picnic grub or other special foods with us. Is there a project you'd like to share? A question you'd like answered? A Wiki* skill you'd like to learn? Let us know by adding it to the agenda. The Wiknic is taking the place of "WikiWednesday" this month, so we will also include salon and knowledge-sharing workshop aspects.
We especially encourage folks to share your parks and foods on screen, and add your 3-minute lightning talks to our roster for the Zoom portion, and otherwise join in the "open space" experience! Newcomers are very welcome! Bring your friends and colleagues! | |

Hi Richard. Found some of the specimen scans that have been released as CC0 by the Smithsonian. Found via DPLA and if you click all the way through to the original record they are CC0 labeled with a special footer. https://dp.la/search?q=%22Ynes%20Mexia%22 / Example: https://collections.si.edu/search/detail/edanmdm:nmnhbotany_13489631?q=record_ID%3Dnmnhbotany_13489631&record=1&hlterm=record_ID%3Dnmnhbotany_13489631 If you want to put them on Commons, go ahead.

Wikiconference North America 2020Edit
Thanks for helping organize the conference! I look forward to a community run alternative to Wonder and Zoom hosted on the Wikimedia platform, such as you mentioned to me during the conference. The social interface and ease of use of Wonder.me was good, but the unfree aspect of Telegram, Wonder, and Zoom makes it a non-starter for many. C.f.
You may already be well aware of this distinction, yourself, but even if so, its for us who know media technology to help educate the rest of the editors by leading them away from proprietary software, even if its free/gratis, to free/libre. Wikipedia is built on this very concept. Best Regards. Jaredscribe (talk) 22:59, 13 December 2020 (UTC)
- @Jaredscribe: Thanks for joining and contributing to our event, I'm aware of these issues and have been recently advocating for the development of a m:Wikimedia Social Suite.--Pharos (talk) 17:19, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Whoa! nice. An event like WCNA ought to be the perfect way to get editors onboarded to Jitsi and Mattermost, and similar tools instead of the commercial offerings. In an IRC #wikimedia-conference (i think that was it) I got called out for Soapboxing Free software for recent contributions to articles on Appropriate Technology and Sustainable Development. Still not yet reverted, though. There is a challenge because of unacknowledged POV:commercial in the mainstream industry press, and therefore real existence of WP:Systemic bias on wikipedia itself, of all places, against free software. Like not a single mention in either of those two articles? Thats a significant reason why your comrades are unaware of the ethical issues at stake, and they make decisions on the basis of mere convenience - which is a mistake. See my proposed criteria on m:Wikimedia Social Suite. Its not enough to do it right; we must explain why its the right thing to do. It only stays that way when the simple are made wise. I'm a content focused newb, but will definitely ally with you if I get more involved in future years.Jaredscribe (talk) 05:32, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Online coachEdit
Hi, Richard, I know you're busy with high level org work, but during last week's Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/December 2020 a newbie was darn near begging for coaching of the kind done at non-plague-year edit-a-thons, so I got to thinking, and then through Quora I met User:Fuertebrazos whose Draft:Bloomingdale was declined last month. So, it seems there's a considerable demand for such tutoring. Where can I find suggestions? I expect sessions to be up to a couple hours, usually one on one, sometimes me and three or four learners. Screen share is a required feature. This is thinking of me as host, but if someone else is hosting such sessions, that might be even better. Jim.henderson (talk) 14:45, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
- So, I did some study (mostly Youtube) and decided Google Meet looks best for an ignorant host of small sessions with little planning or coordination. It seems to lack the ability to share a screen other than that of the original host of the session, which is probably a fairly small handicap. Jim.henderson (talk) 18:37, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
