Let me know if the banner is working for you? Just load a random page a few
times, like I said it should come up about 1/3 of the time.
Thanks,
Pharos

It should be live now or in a few minutes. The banner will show in
Washington and Oregon, and display on ~1/3 of loaded pages.
Thanks,

I just added an intro. Peaceray, can you please take on the
Eventbrite
or other off-wiki page? Thanks.

Thanks, can you create and Eventbrite or other off-wiki page where
non-editors can register? Since this would be on a banner visible
to a
broad group.
Also, I think maybe if you could put in more of an introductory
paragraph,
that could help explain what the Cascadia Wikimedians and Wikipedia
Day
are
to new people.
Best,
Pharos

If the Cascadia team can post a time and location (and a meetup
page)
quickly, I can promote your event via centralnotice over the
next 7
days
in
Washington/Oregon.
Thanks,

We talked Dec 29 about a Commons-focused event for Wikimedia Day
(January 15), and I emailed Peaceray about the work I've been
doing
there that I'd love to have more people involved with, but if
any
announcement has gone out, I haven't seen it. On
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Day it says
"Seattle"
but has no further details. This is only 9 days away.
**Do we have a time & location? *Did something go out that I
missed?
Is
something posted that I can't find?

Here is what I passed on to Peaceray; sorry about the referring
to
myself in the third person, I was expecting he would post this
somewhere, so I worded it that way. Also, I now have done a
bunch
of
the
panoramas referred to below:
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Jmabel/Archival#Archival_panoramas
.
Currently, Wikimedia Commons has a lot of older photos by
Asahel
Curtis and (intersecting that) a lot of older photos of
Seattle
that
need more curation: creation and addition of categories,
addition
of
ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same
photo,
enhancing the descriptions (e.g.
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:E_F_Blaine_residence,_40th_Ave_E_and_E_John_St,_Seattle_(CURTIS_961).jpeg
is a 1910 photo of the house now best known as where Kurt
Cobain
lived at the end of his life, and where he killed himself),
and
in
some cases identifying and correcting errors (Jmabel has
caught
out
a lot of wrong dates, misidentified buildings, etc.).
Many of these photos are directly in
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Seattle or
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific_Exposition
and really belong in subcategories; others are in the
maintenance
categories
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_the_Alaska-Yukon-Pacific_Exposition_Collection_to_check
or
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_the_Asahel_Curtis_Photo_Company_Photographs_Collection_to_check
.
There are probably many other images needing similar work,
but
these
are a few obvious places to look. Also, in a few cases,
Curtis
or
someone else in that era shot images that constitute a
panorama,
but
no one has ever "stitched" and uploaded the panorama.
Typical examples of this work are:
