The Wikipedia community organizes all sorts of outreach to schools. Historically, the general term for any kind of wiki outreach to schools is "Wikipedia education program".
In some parts of the event logs there is a listing for "WikiEdu". WikiEdu is an alternate name for the Wiki Education Foundation, which is an independent organization with its own brand. Probably people who are not employees of that organization should not present themselves as doing projects in the name of WikiEdu. It might be more familiar to WM NYC participants to say that not all wiki projects about female artists are part of Art+Feminism, and not all wiki projects doing outreach to people of African descent are part of AfroCROWD.
WM NYC supports outreach to schools. Sometimes there is overlap with WM NYC's school outreach and WikiEdu, and other times WikiEdu has no particular engagement in the outreach. I think it is preferable to call WM NYC's outreach in education "school outreach" or "Wikipedia education program", and avoid using the WikiEdu brand. WikiEdu typically does not offer branding partnerships, but if the use of the brand name seems important, then we might discuss that with them. It is safe to call everything "Wikipedia education program", but I anticipate problems if we label non-WikiEdu projects with their brand.
I am replacing WikiEdu branding with "Wikipedia education program" on the event page. There could be alternatives, like for example, we could have an education section with a separate WikiEdu subsection, but I do not think that at this time it is worth the effort to separate the two concepts. The advantage of removing the branding is that it makes a space for anyone to list any sort of school outreach, whereas before, it seemed like we only logged WikiEdu events but skipped non-WikiEdu school outreach.

I am concerned at the current levels of communication and discourse within the chapter. Which is exemplified above. Why have these super long Talk page discussions here, when we meet in person regularly? It is clear that although people say the Board and chapter needs to meet regularly, this is not happening. I propose meeting and no one responds. If Richard does it, people sometimes respond. But not always even then. All of this creates communication problems. These discussion should be happening in meetings, not here.
This is not ideal, to discuss this stuff publicly, but I, as the Secretary of WM NYC, and as a recently elected Board Member, send emails to the Board google mailing list and get no responses or crickets.
It has been communicated to me that I am creating an unfriendly space. Yet I have been treated in a way that I would characterize as pretty poorly by a few, to the point that I actually think that a lot of the manner and communication of many stakeholders within WM NYC have created an unfriendly space for me.
I have asked for communication, am available for direct person-to-person discussions via various methods. I am trying to help the chapter and my efforts seems for naught. Until we need to do the compliance and reporting work. I am beyond frustrated. I ask for help, I receive nothing. People disappear. People don't defend me or my work. Especially when the unpleasantry is cloaked in uber-professionalism but has an underlying "I'm in charge here" tone. There is bullying happening, whether it's passive or aggressive, it amounts to bullying. I'm sick of it.
All that said, I believe there are constructive solutions. But no one will respond to me. So here it is. -- Erika aka

You are invited to join us for July 4 to July 18 2017: Wikipedia for Peace Berlin 2017', a Wikipedia workcamp in which we will write articles on the topic of persecution and refuge and also experience Berlin. The goal is to teach newcomers how to edit Wikipedia and write as many articles as possible on the subject. We will also visit different refugee projects in Berlin and have workshops on the topic of persecution and refuge.
Wikipedia for Peace is a movement that has been active since 2015. We want to publish articles on issues related to peace and also help to create a more welcoming community.

@ Jim.henderson: You have been looking over on-wiki event records at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Event archive. Some WM NYC chapter organizers have been talking about changing the way the chapter lists events. I wanted to propose a change and get your thoughts.
We do not currently have a place where all NYC-area events are listed. Part of the reason for this is some confusion about whether events need to be approved by a chapter committee before being listed here. Since this is a meetup/NYC page, and not necessarily a chapter event page, I would like to start listing any regional wiki event here on this page in chronological order by year. If beyond that, someone wants to sort the main list into other lists of "approved", "not approved", "editathon", "workshop", "registration required" or other categories, then they can, but to start I want to have a place where anyone can list anything without discussion. Here are some events that I would list -
One of these was a private presentation to a group of 30 students in a class and the other was a private presentation of Wikipedia research at a University department meeting. I would like for anyone tracking metrics to have access to, for example, this record of the 30 students editing Wikipedia articles because this is of interest to groups including Wikimedia NYC, the education program, the medicine group, and others. Could I get comments from you about changing this event log to include all sorts of Wikipedia events?
Also, I would appreciate thoughts from anyone else here. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:44, 5 April 2017 (UTC)
I think this is where Wiki NYC is with things: @ Shanluan: just added an event in Detroit to the main NYC event listing and @ Jim.henderson: removed it. I think this is correct, but this is confusing because we had difficulty in the past establishing a best practice. I think there should be two event listings. One is at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC where people post upcoming, local NYC, public events at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Header. For any event which is private or not local but still Wiki NYC, post those to the master log at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Event archive which is a chronological tally of all Wiki NYC events. Is there any reason why this system would not work for someone? What other needs do we need to meet? It is has been a long time coming to get to this point and we still need to confirm that this system works. Blue Rasberry (talk) 14:17, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

I don't know where to bring up a question asked the other night by someone I don't know, so here it is.
Many WP articles about photographable things go unillustrated or have awful pictures. Plaques are often shown without establishing shot of their context, etc. So, said the smart stranger, we need to establish best practices. Right; decent pictures seldom require deep knowledge; a bit of understanding can go a long way towards protecting details from being lost in shadows and similar errors. As it happens, this topic would be better in Commons, but there isn't much. There is Commons:Commons:Commons Conference 2018 and Commons:Commons:How to take pictures for Wikimedia Commons and other pages, but nothing on the topic is properly organized that I can see. Especially in video. So, contact me, especially in Commons and maybe with the help of participants around the world we can improve the situation. Jim.henderson ( talk) 20:50, 29 September 2017 (UTC)

I was one of the people interviewed for "Building a Real Boy", a theatrical piece about the late Aaron Swartz. It will be performed on Monday, November 20th, in New York City. I am not one of the performers or creators, and can't vouch for the piece, but since Swartz was a Wikimedian, I thought NYC Wikimedians would want to know about it in case any want to attend.

For what it is worth, I would vote to still have one, as it would be a great opportunity to debrief Wikipedia Day while it is still fresh so we can capture that energy to help with next year's planning (not to mention we may have some new members as a result of a positive Wikipedia Day).

This is for a project at WP:Touro, which is in NYC.
I am seeking support with signatures at the bottom of this page, or alternatively criticism or any comments on the talk page.
Hello, I did a research project about students in a medical program doing English Wikipedia editing in the Wikipedia education program. I have a research paper about this which I have submitted to a journal.
Open access publication fees are $3000, which is typical. The Wikimedia Foundation "rapid grants" program offers $2000 of support for certain small projects. I am requesting this $2000 in grant funding from the WMF to help cover the open access publishing fee. I have the rest.
Beyond my asking for this I also encourage other people doing academic publishing, especially at the intersection of Wikimedia projects and medicine, to publish in traditional journals and seek WMF support to pay the open access fee.
Anyone requesting funds from the WMF does so publicly and has to solicit community comments. If anyone has any comments - in support or in criticism - whatever you have to say is useful and develops the conversation about publishing Wikimedia activities in academic journals. I appreciate anyone who can either sign their wiki user name in support of the funding on the front page, or anyone who can post any criticism to the talk page about my proposal, the broader circumstances of WMF funding, or of wiki engagement in this publishing. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
You are invited to submit a chapter travel scholarship to WikiConference North America, which is being held in Columbus, Ohio on October 18-21, 2018.
The scholarship supported by Wikimedia NYC chapter will be a *flat $500* for all recipients, and you will be responsible for booking all of your own travel and accommodation. Because the amount we support is limited, it may be that only part of your trip expense is covered.
Please fill in the google form there, the deadline is September 24.-- Pharos ( talk) 13:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)
There's going to be an edit-a-thon at the New York Botanical Garden on October 10th. The focus is, creating and enhancing pages related to the theme of Women in Science. See https://www.nybg.org/event/wikipedia-edit-a-thon/ for details. -- RoySmith (talk) 21:21, 21 September 2018 (UTC)
The WM-NYC is limited in outreach to watchlist notices and mailing lists. In 2016, we filed a task to allow CentralNotice (the banners on top of article pages) to target readers in the NYC area. Efforts have stalled and to spur progress it would be great if you could support it in the Community Wishlist Survey 2019. Voting end November 30. — Dispenser 20:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)

I appreciate anyone who can either sign their wiki user name in support of the funding on the front page, or anyone who can post any criticism to the talk page about my proposal, the broader circumstances of WMF funding, or of wiki engagement in this publishing. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:58, 8 August 2018 (UTC)
You are invited to submit a chapter travel scholarship to WikiConference North America, which is being held in Columbus, Ohio on October 18-21, 2018.
The scholarship supported by Wikimedia NYC chapter will be a *flat $500* for all recipients, and you will be responsible for booking all of your own travel and accommodation. Because the amount we support is limited, it may be that only part of your trip expense is covered.
Please fill in the google form there, the deadline is September 24.-- Pharos ( talk) 13:51, 18 September 2018 (UTC)

The WM-NYC is limited in outreach to watchlist notices and mailing lists. In 2016, we filed a task to allow CentralNotice (the banners on top of article pages) to target readers in the NYC area. Efforts have stalled and to spur progress it would be great if you could support it in the Community Wishlist Survey 2019. Voting end November 30. — Dispenser 20:33, 17 November 2018 (UTC)
