I'm thinking about requesting a geonotice for our meetup on June 14th. The notice would be posted from May 15 through June 15, and would be viewable on the Watchlist of editors in Massachusetts. What are others' thoughts? Emw ( talk) 16:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
Now wait a sec. It says here that there is a June 14 meetup at Red Bones in Somerville. And it says HERE here that there is a June 15 meetup at the Grafton Street Pub in Cambridge.
So what's the deal? Are these rival groups? Is this like the Jets and the Sharks? Can I attend both, or do I risk being kneecapped by one group if I attend the other's meetup, or what? And if I attend neither, then will both groups be out to get me? Herostratus ( talk) 18:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Hi, (I'm a new-ish contributor, mostly in liturgical arts, American colonial and French medieval areas, with broad backgrounding in music, theater, dance and art history.

We've talked about it a few times in past meetups, but I'd like to get people's thoughts on how we could go about organizing a 'Wikipedia Takes Boston' event. The gist of the event is to gather as many photographs of as many local sights as possible for articles where they are needed. Wikipedia Takes Manhattan has run three times; we could probably learn a lot from them and other previous Wikipedia Takes the City events.
I came across a tool named Wiki ShootMe! that could be helpful here. You give it a latitude, longitude and radius, and it returns a list of articles in that area that don't have images yet. A list for Boston is here: http://toolserver.org/~magnus/wikishootme/index.html?autorun=1&language=en&lat=42.357778&lng=-71.061667&distance=10.

Hey :)
Denny from the Wikidata team will be in Boston in November for a conference ( http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org). If there is interest by local Wikipedians we can try to arrange for a intro session or something. He could intro Wikidata and answer questions. Interested? Maybe someone local even able to help with a venue and local outreach?
