January 15, 6pm: Wikimedia NYC celebrates 20 years of Wikipedia
 
 

Wikipedia Day is always a big day for Wikimedia NYC. While we cannot meet in person, we still have something special planned. We will begin the event with the debut of a new video celebrating our community. This will be followed by a panel discussion with some of the people you'll see in the video talking about Wikipedia's 20th anniversary, Wikimedia New York City, and the amazing work they do on Wikimedia projects.

The event will be broadcast live via YouTube. Feel free to ask questions for the panel through the chat!

We will also have some NYC wiki trivia you can participate in, with confectionery prizes.

6:00pm - 7:00 pm online via Wikimedia NYC on YouTube

Want to help me make the ALA template better?

edit

Hey there -- I saw your edit to the library associations template. I think that one may not work (as I was envisioning it, but maybe I am not looking at this right) because PLA is already in the ALA Template but I think the ALA template (here) could be a lot better. Want to help me sort it out? And maybe we could think if consortia should be in the library associations template or their own template too. Jessamyn (talk) 00:29, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hiya, you're right about PLA. At first I thought consortiums should be part it, but I see you've designed so that it's for individuals (not really institutions). ALA is difficult because it includes so many smaller groups (which I guess don't have their own WP pages). I'd say just start the template, notify library groups and let people at it. :) - kosboot (talk) 00:56, 15 January 2021 (UTC)Reply
Sounds good, thank you. Sorry I missed this last week. Jessamyn (talk) 22:53, 21 January 2021 (UTC)Reply

The Rothschilds (musical)

edit

I am unwatching this article. There is a new editor who is adding a lot of, I think, POV information to the article about the revised production. If you have any interest in this musical, you may wish to challenge him. If you do, let me know and I will support you on the Talk page, but I am travelling, and I cannot challenge what he is doing by myself.

Freeing books into the Public Domain

edit

It seems that the excellent NYPL project to digitize the CCE and identify PD books that were never renewed could use more granular cleanup + linking of reg + renewal records to library records [and instances of PD works that haven't been complicated w/ later inserts].

Do you know if anyone has tried to create a wikibase out of the latest CCE data? (tabular or xml) – SJ + 20:37, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just realized a few days too late that this would have made a fine LD4 topic ;) – SJ + 20:37, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
@Sj: The only PD work I know of at NYPL is identifying materials already digitized or to be digitized and clearing it. There is a low-priority project to let HathiTrust know that NYPL-copyrighted items should be made available. Beyond that I don't believe anyone at NYPL asides from a literally handful of us are working with Wikidata and I know of no one working with Wikibase. - kosboot (talk) 21:26, 1 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
I see, thanks! I believe Greg Cram's team has been following up on the 2019 release of the CCE dataset.
For context, I see this as a good step towards id'ing the complete list of a) renewed works (linked to both library record + previous registration record), and b) pre-'63 registered works that were never renewed. This has stalled on
  1. identifying renewals/registrations w/ no associated library record (for the many pamphlets that appear in the CCE but not any library)
  2. linking other r/r's to library records
  3. identifying works that, if first published domestically, are PD due to non-renewal
  4. estimating domestic-publication status for these works (and method of estimation)
  5. identifying a manifestation of these works that would be PD
  6. where no such manifestation has been found, identifying the manifestation that seems to have the fewest inserts or other changes, and linking to a project (PGDP or wikisource?) to extract the PD text
This iterative work seems suited to a wikibase instance dedicated to identifying and freeing this collection. It seems that it would be in the thousands of works. I'm interested in fleshing that out further with someone already adding book metadata to WD. – SJ + 22:31, 4 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

And rather than Zoom, we'll meet on a proximity chat virtual Coney Island beach and share over topical articles and collaborations.

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!

Music theory revert

edit

Hi, it's about the Music theory edit revert you did recently. Please see the code I used, I did not place the code parameter and the text back into the sfn template but used template rp to generate page No and display the quote when hovering the cursor over it. You will see that, firstly, it works and, secondly, it does not return an error. I am aware that sfn does not support the quote, parameter, that's why I removed it originally, but another editor remarked it would be better to come up with a way to make it display rather than just delete it. 84.69.182.103 (talk) 20:11, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

I looked very carefully and no, it does not work - I did not see the text you had begun with "quote=" anywhere in the article. And even if it did accidentally display, if you read template:sfn you will see that is not the behavior of the template, and that if you put in a quote for a page, that quote will always display whenever you cite the page. Why don't you simply use another template? - kosboot (talk) 21:47, 22 July 2021 (UTC)Reply
The content of the quote=displays as a bubble when you hover over page reference. And if you found the content of the quote within the sfn, then you weren't looking at the latest version, because I placed in in a rp template immediately following the sfn template. 84.69.182.103 (talk) 00:05, 23 July 2021 (UTC)Reply

Edgar Smith (librettist)

edit

Can you possibly expand Edgar Smith a bit? His article is just a stub. Also, I was wondering, was he related to Harry B. Smith? The two sometimes collaborated. All the best! -- Ssilvers (talk) 21:05, 23 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I've wondered about the relationship as well. I'll see what I can dig up! - kosboot (talk) 00:53, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
I'm now reliably informed that there was no relationship; just a coincidence that these two contemporary Smiths were both librettists. Still, Edgar deserves a better article, and there was a major biography of Harry B. published in 2003 that was not cited in his article (I've now added it as "Further Reading"), so I am sure much more (and better) could also be written about him, if you want to pull the library's copy of that biography. -- Ssilvers (talk) 03:59, 24 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
I gave Edgar some attention, but I hope you can take it further. Please check your e-mail. -- Ssilvers (talk) 07:04, 28 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

Re: Where is everybody?

edit

The comment was removed from the talk page because it has nothing to with the article. It's an old troll from 2006 that was blocked for impersonating an admin. Further, the message was misplaced. It was addressing an IP, in which case such a comment would go on the IP talk page, not on the article talk page. The record of this comment resides in the page history. It isn't clear why you think this should remain. This was done in accordance with WP:TALK: "It is common to simply delete gibberish, test edits, harmful or prohibited material (as described above), and comments or discussion clearly about the article's subject (as opposed to the treatment of the subject in the article)." Viriditas (talk) 17:34, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I didn't know about the background of the comment, so sure, go ahead and delete. Thank you! - kosboot (talk) 21:01, 26 August 2021 (UTC)Reply
