In the afternoon, we will hold a session dedicated to meta:Wikimedia New York City activities, elect a board of directors, and hold salon-style group discussions on Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects (see the last meeting's minutes).

We'll also review our recent Wikipedia Takes Manhattan event, and make preparations for our exciting successor Wiki Week bonanza, being planned with Columbia University students for September or October.

In the evening, we'll share dinner and chat at a local restaurant, and (weather permitting) hold a late-night astronomy event at Columbia's telescopes.

You can add or remove your name from the New York City Meetups invite list at Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Invite list.

Also, check out our regional US Wikimedia chapters blog Wiki Northeast (and we're open to guest posts).


I, Pharos, am a Wikipedian who has been active since September 2004. The nom de plume refers to the Pharos of Alexandria, as well as to a local lighthouse and some old library.

My first article was U Thant Island, and I've tried to be helpful since then.

[edit] Maintenance tasks

I was approved as an administrator in March 2005, and in that capacity have mostly been involved in Main Page maintenance.

I used to have all sorts of other tidbits on this page but it's hard to keep them up-to-date with my current activities here, so if you're curious you'll just have to browse the archives.

[edit] Wikimedia New York City

In recent months, I have been heavily involved in the formation of a meta:Wikimedia New York City local chapter. See Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC for the meetings.
