Congressional slaveholder mini-project
I'll likely propose a project for a project on Congressional slaveholders as something to do for Black History Month based on data recently released by The Washington Post. My early draft of the proposal is at The Signpost newsroom, Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/Next issue/Black History Month
I'm also working on the format of a possible list article User:Smallbones/List of U.S. congressional slaveholders

Hi. Do you have any reliable source for this edit? My impression is that the few rather unreliable websites that use this birthdate have taken it from Wikipedia.

File:EDIT GIRL based on Alexander Rodchenko 1924 poster.png
This file is going to be deleted from Commons because the image it's derived from is still under copyright in Russia, but it's PD in the US, you can upload it to en-WP. I'll leave it alone for a few days, but please let me know when you transfer it so we can complete the deletion process on Commons. Thanks. —howcheng {chat} 17:42, 15 August 2022 (UTC)
- @Howcheng: I have a local copy that I can upload to English Wikipedia once the Commons copy no longer exists -- the uploader complains that I'm trying to overwrite a commons version, so I assume I should let you do the deletion first? Unless there's a tool to do a Commons-to-Wikipedia move :-) Thank you, Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 21:23, 15 August 2022 (UTC)

Monday, Oct 10
Hi, Mary! I'll be in Philadelphia that day, having spent the previous evening with my niece in East Falls. When she leaves for work Monday my plan is to bike around town snapping pictures and take a train home to beat the rush hour. Perhaps we can meet for lunch or something. Jim.henderson (talk) 23:31, 1 October 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @Jim.henderson:,
- Doreva and I would be able to do breakfast or lunch that day; it would be fun to meet you. Doreva has commitments after 1.30. We are both in the Mt. Airy section of Philadelphia, which is not too far from East Falls. We could meet you somewhere or give you a lift locally as needed. (Doreva wouldn't have a bike rack to move a bike.) Let's work out a plan,
- Mary Mark Ockerbloom (talk) 19:34, 2 October 2022 (UTC)
- Sounds good, Mary. I hope the weather a week from now isn't like today. We had an outdoor Wikimedia NYC meeting and the chill made for small attendance and forced me to leave early. My Brompton bicycle folds to fit on the floor of a car or under a table. Sometimes I ride a bus with the bike in my lap. Or I suppose it could stay home and make this a walking and train visit like my last one before the plague. I must ask my niece about her usual morning routine but probably a Noontime lunch or late-morning brunch (just like decadent people) will fit best or maybe a standard morning breakfast. Naturally I would like to show her off to my friends and vice versa but that's probably cruel and impractical. Jim.henderson (talk) 07:26, 3 October 2022 (UTC)
- My schedule for Monday remains uncertain; perhaps I'll know better Saturday Noon when I click into your Wikidata teleconf. Certainly the distance is not far for me to bike; two or three miles. My niece fears I'm too old to bike two flat miles in cool weather and then climb steeply to her place; her concern is touching but misplaced. Jim.henderson (talk) 00:08, 7 October 2022 (UTC)
