Hello, MBlairMartin. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Zenji (video game), for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:
- edit the page
- remove the text that looks like this:
{{proposed deletion/dated...}}
- save the page
Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.
You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. ubiquity (talk) 17:42, 22 August 2016 (UTC)

Retrogaming category
Hi MBlairMartin. You've been adding lots of video game articles to the Retrogaming category, all of which are already in categories for years in the 1970s or 1980s. I'm not sure why you feel the year isn't enough to identify older games, but it comes across as a redundant category to me. "Retro" is also a personal concept, and there are lots of people who think of MS-DOS games from the late 1990s as retro, for example, or Game Cube games. Dgpop (talk) 13:26, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- It was more to go off Retrogaming, the games I categorized usually need a vintage computer to play them. I didn't think that this came across by just categorizing the year. My description could definitely use some work, that's my fault I just typed it very quickly, but I do think it is an important category for those who are into Retrogaming and vintage computers. I see that you have already removed the category from the games, to me I don't feel that it is redundant at all so I would like to add them back, but as a courtesy I will wait until after I have fixed the category description. MBlairMartin (talk) 16:14, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- This could touch thousands of pages, so I recommend getting wider discussion in Project Video Games first. Not too long ago someone was adding a template to all the video game pages, and that was not well received.Dgpop (talk) 16:38, 30 August 2016 (UTC)
- I was not attempting to add it to every page but I agree that bringing it up with the Project for open discussion is a good idea. MBlairMartin (talk) 16:41, 30 August 2016 (UTC)

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos
Tuesday evening, January 15, 2019, 6-9pm at Wayward Coffeehouse, 6417 Roosevelt Way NE #104, Seattle WA 98115 Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia. Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations. Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, and etc., but there is much more to be done. For more information, please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle#Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos. |

Art+Feminism, Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5 PM
the meetup page for Art+Feminism. |
Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.
Let’s change that. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color. Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided. All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required! Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants. Please create a Wikipedia account before the event. RSVP through this Facebook event link. When: Saturday, Apr. 6, 2019, 1–5 PM |
