I want to say welcome to those interested in participating in the collaboration between Wikipedia and Balboa Park! This has the potential to be help improve many articles on the park, San Diego, California, and various other fields including aircraft, wildlife, and historical subjects. The BPOC is eager to meet with Wikipedians to get an idea of Wikipedia's presence in San Diego and learn how we can best collaborate on articles, images, content, and research. The staff would like to meet at some point in June, and I'll find out the details of their preferred schedule. Does anyone here have a preference for when they'd be able to meet? The first event would be a sort of meet-and-greet to go over the priorities and strengths of both groups to see how this project can grow. I'm open to meeting on a weeknight or weekend, but please let me know what your ideal dates would be so we can try and coordinate this. If you have any questions, feel free to list them here, I'm curious on others' thoughts on the project. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 03:33, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
The location has changed to the SDASM, but it's still on July 5 at 5:00pm. I've created a page for the event, feel free to expand. I definitely would like to see a few more people sign up! --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 ( talk • contrib) 02:14, 28 June 2011 (UTC)
Please take a look at the discussion linked here. It may garner more participants, and also help those other editors. -- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 09:06, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
I see there is a list of images that were requested, with links provided. Does on just add an image, and if the people at Balboa Park, are able to assist, they provide it? For there are many historical images they may have in their archive which can enhance articles in the greater San Diego region.-- RightCowLeftCoast ( talk) 04:08, 10 June 2011 (UTC)
I've started a discussion over at Talk:Balboa Park (San Diego) for improving the article up to GA status. If anyone at Balboa Park has suggestions for improving the article and knows of sources that could be used to cite information in the article, please comment over there. --Happy editing!

This, in the Activities section, gives cause for concern:
WP is not a PR tool to "benefit" any "mission" of the "Balboa Park community". The encouragement to use it for that purpose should be removed. Writegeist ( talk) 16:46, 23 September 2011 (UTC)
Is there any opposition to moving these pages to reflect the full name of the organization (Balboa Park)? I think abbreviations should be reserved for redirects, and that way (when browsing categories or project pages) readers know which institution is being referred to? -- Another Believer ( Talk) 17:23, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
