Hi everyone!
Wikipedia Day was so much fun! Special thanks to:
- Elan and Loren for helping set up everything
- Travis for greeting everyone at the door
- Lodewijk and Richard for managing to sign up new editors despite the IP block
(OF COURSE our IP got blocked in the week leading to Wikipedia Day, or where
would be the fun)
- Elan for organizing a [Wikicommons
contest](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/wikicommonscontest)
- Jonathan for the teeshirt/merch/poster design
February is a super busy month! I posted all this on the
[meetup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco) and
[bawug](https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Bay_Area_Wikipedians_User_Group) page,
but here's the roundup:
- February 13, 2025: [Monthly
meetup](https://bookwhen.com/sequoiafabrica/e/ev-sif7-20250213183000), where we
will distribute the prizes for the [Wiki Commons Photo Contest, 2025 Bay
Area](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/San_Francisco/wikicommonscontest).
- February 14, 2025: Wikipedians are invited to join [Stanford's workshop on
using Wikimedia projects to improve the reliability of
LLMs](https://hai.stanford.edu/events/first-workshop-public-ai-assistant-world-wide-knowledge-wwk%7C).
Read [more information about their
research](https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Newsletter/2024/November%7C)
and [the overall research project.](https://www.wwknowledge.org/%7C) Email me
if you want more info.
- February 14-16, 2025: [WikiCredCon](https://register.wikicred.org/%7C) is
happening at the Internet Archive
Why is everything happening on the span of four days? Bad timing, all events
have different organizers. As a reminder, the meetup is happening every second
Thursdays of the month. We might move to a different location in March to be
closer to Bart and not overlap with classes using heavy and loud machinery!
Also, if anyone wants a [wikipedia day
teeshirt](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Wikiday2025bayarea.jpg) but didn't
make it there: please bring a teeshirt to our February meetup and we will
screenprint it for you!
Cheers,
Emelinne & Elan
