Greetings from GLAM-Wiki US

Invitation to join GLAM-Wiki US

Hello! This WikiProject aligns closely with the work of the GLAM-Wiki initiative (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), a global community of volunteers who assist cultural institutions with sharing resources with Wikimedia. GLAM-Wiki US is a new community initiative focused on organizing cultural collaborations within the United States. GLAM organizations are diverse and span numerous topics, from libraries and art museums to science centers and historic sites. We currently have a backlog of interested institutions- and we need your help! Are you interested in helping with current or future GLAM projects? Join→ Online Volunteers We hope you'll join the growing GLAM-Wiki community in the US. Thank you! -Lori Phillips (Talk), US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator For more information visit→ The GLAM:US portal or GLAM-Wiki on Outreach

Larry Thomas (actor)

Larry Thomas (actor) is at WonderCon Anaheim March 29 - 31. We could use a picture of him in character for his article and The Soup Nazi. Does anyone know anyone who is going? If they mention the shots will be for Wikipedia he may pose for some good ones.--Canoe1967 (talk) 10:45, 27 March 2013 (UTC)

Requested Articles

I created a new subpage of the project, Wikipedia:WikiProject California/Requested Articles, which is linked to at the "to do" list, but i thought people should know its here now. I scoured the WP:Requested Articles for "calif", found a good collection.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 06:02, 1 April 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for doing this. Barnstar search is under way. GeorgeLouis (talk) 18:08, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

An MfD concerning your WikiProject

Not sure if you guys are aware of this, but a subpage of your project has been sent to MfD. The nominator probably should have brought this up here before nominating it. Please feel free to leave comments. TCN7JM 00:06, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

That was me, also creating the list of requested articles i was just lauded for. I guess i figured notification of this would appear here automatically. If i should have known to bring it here first, my apologies, and i get that it can stay as historic. but im not giving my barnstar back!Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:03, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Portal:California/Did you know/6

in Portal:California/Did you know/6, the third item, Julia Tuttle, has absolutely no California connection. i removed the info, and placed a placeholder there until a replacement is found. I don't know how active the DYK section of the portal is. if no one does, I may add a selection at some point.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 04:01, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

Anyone in LA to take pictures?

Hello. Could anyone in LA take pictures of this place: Hillside Memorial Park Cemetery? If you are interested in working with me, there is a series of other locations and historic residences to take pictures of. I thought I would ask here to speed things up. Please reply on my talkpage if interested. Thank you.Zigzig20s (talk) 03:08, 16 April 2013 (UTC)

Central California

The article Central California is suffering from a grossly poor definition of Central California, one that often contradicts the sources cited in the article. Thmazing (talk) 21:46, 24 April 2013 (UTC)
