News and notes:
Six Serbian Wikipedia editors banned following controversy about political bias
Plus, new bans for AI-generated content in place, a new drop in active admins, pranks on pranks, May admin election, and other news from the Wikimedia world.
In the media:
Could Wikipedia be involved in Massachusetts' proposed social media ban for minors?
Another regulate-the-internet attempt casts a wide net.
Gallery:
March equinox
The progression of seasons in March.
Traffic report:
Time to change my galaxy in case, we outta space!
What catches the reader's eye? Death and film, per usual, and a loop around the moon per unusual.
Comix:
Of skirts and articles
When significant coverage is only skin deep.

WHAT
Wikis Take Manhattan

StreetsWiki
articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City.
LAST YEAR'S EVENT
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan/Fall 2008
(a description of the results, and the uploading party)
Commons:Wikis Take Manhattan
(our cool team galleries)
Streetfilms: Wikis Take Manhattan
(our awesome video)
WINNINGS?
The first prize winning team members will get
Eye-Fi Share
cards, which automatically upload photos from your camera to your computer and to sites like Flickr. And there will also be cool prizes for other top scorers.
WHEN
The hunt will take place Saturday, October 10th from 1:00pm to 6:30pm, followed by prizes and celebration.
WHO
All Wikipedians and non-Wikipedians are invited to participate in team of up to three (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city). Bring a friend (or two)!
The proper place to register your team is
here
. It's also perfectly possible to register on the day of when you get there, but it will be slightly easier for us if you register beforehand.
WHERE
Participants can begin the hunt from either of two locations: one at Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project's fantastic new event space nestled between Chinatown and SoHo. Everyone will end at The Open Planning Project:
Wikis Take Manhattan page at The Open Planning Project
148 Lafayette Street
between Grand & Howard Streets
FOR UPDATES
Please watchlist
Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Manhattan
. This will have a posting if the event is delayed due to weather or other exigency.
Thanks,
Pharos

We meet outside
by the trees
at 5:00 PM.
Our next
Wikipedia NYC Meetup
is this weekend on Saturday Dec 4 at
Brooklyn Museum
during their awesome
First Saturdays
program, starting at 5 PM.
A particular highlight for the wiki crowd will be '
Seductive Subversion: Women Pop Artists, 1958–1968
', and the accompanying "
WikiPop
" project, with specially-created Wikipedia articles on the artists displayed on iPads in the gallery.
This will be a museum touring and partying meetup, so no excuses about being a shy newbie this time. Bring a friend too!

currently: spaceflight, women's suffrage, Chile, and battleships
—for use on Wikipedia/Wikimedia Commons. The event is being held on multiple days, and in the evenings and weekend, so that as many locals and out-of-towners from nearby regions
as possible can come.

Non-free rationale for File:The knight(novel).jpg
edit
Thanks for uploading or contributing to
File:The knight(novel).jpg
. I notice the file page specifies that the file is being used under
non-free content criteria
, but there is not a suitable explanation or rationale as to why each specific use in Wikipedia is acceptable. Please go to
the file description page
, and edit it to include a
non-free rationale
If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified the non-free rationale on those pages too. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "
my contributions
" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free media lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been tagged, as described on
criteria for speedy deletion
. If the file is already gone, you can still make a
request for undeletion
and ask for a chance to fix the problem. If you have any questions, please ask them at the
Media copyright questions page
. Thank you.

Followup RFC to
WP:RFC/AAT
now in community feedback phase
edit
Hello. As a participant in
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion article titles
, you may wish to register an opinion on its followup RFC,
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage
, which is now in its community feedback phase. Please note that
WP:RFC/AAMC
is not simply a repeat of
WP:RFC/AAT
, and is attempting to achieve better results by asking a more narrowly-focused, policy-based question of the community. Assumptions based on the previous RFC should be discarded before participation, particularly the assumption that Wikipedia has or inherently needs to have articles covering generalized perspective on each side of abortion advocacy, and that what we are trying to do is come up with labels for that. Thanks! —chaos5023 20:30, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

noon - 8pm (drop-in anytime!) at Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Garrett Lobby @ 1071 5th Ave by E 88 St
In conjunction with Archtober and New York Archives Week, the Guggenheim will host its third Wikipedia edit-a-thon—or, #guggathon—to enhance articles related to women in architecture on Wikipedia. The Guggenheim aims to further the goals of Ada Lovelace Day for STEM, and Art+Feminism for art, in a field that, by its nature combines both.
The Guggenheim will work alongside ArchiteXX, the founders of WikiD: Women Wikipedia Design #wikiD, the international education and advocacy program working to increase the number of Wikipedia articles on women in architecture and the built environment. New and experienced editors are welcome.
Can’t join us in New York? Visit our
global partnerships page
to discover an edit-a-thon in a city near you or simply join remotely.
We hope to see you there!--

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.
