DYK for Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure)

Materialscientist (talk) 08:02, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Le Déjeuner en fourrure

Hi Pharos.

I found this article because of DYK (of course) and have a couple of suggestions I refrained from implementing myself because one of them would mean moving the article. That would consist of dropping the word "object" from the title since it's the museum's classification of what kind of work it is, not the title of the work itself, which is Le Déjeuner en fourrure.

And wherever it is necessary to refer to it as an object, the word shouldn't be in italics because it's English not French (un objet).

Otherwise, interesting!

Awien (talk) 16:49, 14 July 2011 (UTC)

Hello again!

Well, I went ahead anyway and made the move. Here are a trio of French sources that give the work's title as Le Déjeuner en fourrure, not objet/object, in case you want to check:

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter

The first ever WikiProject National Archives newsletter has been published. Please read on to find out what we're up to and how to help out! There are many opportunities for getting more involved. Dominic·t 21:36, 20 July 2011 (UTC)

The WikiProject National Archives Newsletter July 2011 News Featured article contest This week, our first multilingual featured article contest was announced. We are aiming to improve the articles on the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, or Bill of Rights to featured or good status in English and other languages. Prizes for winners will be a gift package from the National Archives including a book of your choice or a tote bag, and other swag, plus, of course, a special barnstar. August 6 backstage pass Plans are in the works for a meetup and backstage pass event at the National Archives II facility in College Park, MD. There will be a regular social meetup, a discussion with Dominic about WP:NARA, a tour of the building by NARA staff, and then time for a scanathon and editathon in the research rooms and library until the building closes at 5 pm. Keep your schedules open! From our recent uploads: ...see more. Special requests: This section includes special requests from the NARA staff: Archival Recovery Team The National Archives' Archival Recovery Team (ART) is a team of law enforcement agents and archivists who investigate NARA's lost and stolen documents. They have received media attention ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6], [7], [8]) and would like to request an article be written for the team, if Wikipedians deem it notable. It is hoped that making more information about the group available on Wikipedia will increase public awareness of the documents they are seeking to recover. Ongoing Today's Document challenge The Today's Document challenge is an opportunity for Wikipedians to get their work related to National Archives holdings spotlighted on Archives.gov and the National Archives' tumblr. Each day the National Archives selects a document related to the day's date to showcase. The goal is to get articles related to the selected documents on the main page in ""Did You Know...?" the same day that the National Archives features the document. Alternatively, other appropriate articles related to National Archives holdings not already selected will be used for new documents of the day by NARA staff and posted to their tumblr. Wikisource WP:NARA has a sister WikiProject on Wikisource, WS:NARA. On Wikisource, editors transcribe, proofread, and arrange documents. This helps to make little-known documents more discoverable, or well-known documents more searchable, and improves accessibility. See the files being worked on. If you are new to Wikisource and would like to participate, there are experienced Wikisourcerors willing to be mentors. New contributions A list of some recent contributions to the project: Wikipedia District of Columbia Compensated Emancipation Act (Fetchcomms) Court of the Patriarchs (CutOffTies) Opposition to the overthrow of the Hawaiian Kingdom (Fetchcomms) Wikisource1 Memorial of Queen Liliuokalani in relation to the Crown lands of Hawaii Petition from women of Brookline Resolutions of the Joint Committee on the Washington Monument H.

We are working on a bulk upload to Commons of one particular cache of about 123,000 TIFF master files in the next few days! Once uploaded, these will require a massive community effort to help categorize the files on Commons and add them to articles on Wikipedia or transcribe them on Wikisource. Inclusion in the online catalog We are currently working on a system for including links to pages on Wikimedia projects in the National Archives online catalog. The Wikimedia projects are hosting an increasing number of transcriptions of National Archives documents and high-quality image and video files that are not available through NARA's own site. Links to these Wikimedia pages in the documents' actual catalog records will benefit the end user by providing them access to further resources about the documents, and they will also demonstrate the National Archives commitment to supporting Wikimedians' efforts.

Ambassador Program: assessment drive

Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.

In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.

Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Why would you contact our group on a page I am only still following by accident.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 02:14, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Libraries - Chicago

I met with the marketing folks at the Chicago Public Library today. I told them we would like to have a hackathon at their main branch. I said the event might benefit from a talk by a reference librarian or something. They asked if there is a typical event outline. I told her I had no such document and felt inclined to follow any advice she might have on planning such an event. I also said I would ask around about any guidelines or outline.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:51, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

Some falafel for you!

Hi Richard, thanks a googol for all you've already done as a Wikipedia Regional Ambassador, including your initiative in adapting the Campus Ambassador training to fit local New York needs! I speak for the entire Wikipedia Global Education team when I say that I really really appreciate it. I picked the falafel because you just got back from a country closer to the origin place of falafels... Um, yea. Annie Lin (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 22:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC)

GLAM opportunity

Hi Pharos,

Any chance we could get a New Yorker Wikipedian to get some images of the Gandhara art from this exhibition? AshLin (talk) 10:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Geonotice

Hi!

Could you change

<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries">Wikipedia Loves Libraries local events</a>

to

[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries|Wikipedia Loves Libraries local events]]

here, so that the link works as expected on secure server? The wiki syntax for internal links can now be used inside the text of the notices (see the talk page).

Thanks! Helder 23:12, 15 August 2011 (UTC)

Analogously, on this new banner, it should be used something like

[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Montreal|Wikipedia Takes Montreal]]

Helder 16:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)

Never mind. Killiondude fixed the code. Helder 00:32, 30 August 2011 (UTC)

Since local librarians are asking all of us what the event will entail

Could you help drive the program discussion in WLL talk? You have done more of this than just about anyone. In order to present proposals, even prelim ones to librarians, we need to firm up a potential program or list of program elements. I've started the discussion and hope we can get some early clash. The better and sooner we devise a proto-program, the easier it will be for others to present to local libraries. As the proposals are largely unformed right now, there's really nothing for institutions to comprehend, so we don't look well-organized when we go in. What past events can we point to as successful integrations of the institutional and Wikipedia communities? (Like the NYC photography events?) BusterD (talk) 11:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)

Won't individual events need their own subpage where we can flesh out the customized program at the specific site? We'll need a place to sign up participants, both local and distant, plus a place for wikipedians to talk about the specific local event. BusterD (talk) 11:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
