You are invited to the picnic anyone can edit on Governors Island, at 403 Colonels Row by the ArtCrawl Harlem house.

This is a sequel event to the 2023 Governors Island Wiknic and will feature a workshop led by AfroCrowd at the ArtCrawl Harlem house. We'll also encourage collaboration for wiki-coverage of ArtCrawl Harlem's current exhibition at Governors Island. All are welcome, new and experienced!

Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck, as well as some sunscreen! We'll also provide sandwiches for everyone, and maybe some NYC pizza too, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia.

We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at Wikipedia:Meetup/LA/Wiknic2024.

Do not move pages unilaterally

Hi Uncle Ed, good seeing you again. But you improperly moved a contentious page while discussion was happening about the title. Please don't do that. I'm going to undo the move. - Fuzheado | Talk 23:56, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

Sorry, I was thinking "be bold" as in the old days with Larry Sanger. Next time, I will simply propose a new page title. Thanks for the undo! --Uncle Ed (talk) 18:44, 21 July 2024 (UTC)

Artificial structures visible from space

Hi, Back in 2010 you were asking what's visible from space. From the Australian astronaut came a story that he was told not to ask questions about the hole the crew sees north of Darwin every ninety minutes as they pass over it; it's the Grasberg mine in Indonesian administrated Papua. And unless you are employed as a miner or publicity creator (or Indonesian military) you are not going to get any other view of it; there's a 30 mile exclusion zone, and sixty miles away at new-port nobody approaches the coast without company permission. Which has been a major problem for scientists who've wanted to test the waters for copper, mercury and other signs of the operations. As for roads & walls, they are too small to be seen, you may see a difference in vegetation or landscape on either side, but the human eye can not distinguish structures unless they are miles across. And Grasberg is a hole where one of the planet's highest peaks use to be, so it kind of, stands out. Daeron (talk) 01:51, 24 July 2024 (UTC)
