Hi everyone. A historian at the Thousand Island Park Historic District in upstate New York wants to donate historical images of the historic area. I don't have the volunteer capacity to help her at this time. It should be an easy enough project - and I think she'll probably upload the images herself if given the proper support. Please contact me if you can help, I'd be grateful. Thank you.

The histories in the articles are different, as well as the listing years, and the coordinates are also slightly different (but one is in the middle of a river and probably wrong.) Please comment at Talk:New York State Armory (Ogdensburg).

One of our initiatives is to create leaflets to increase the discoverability of various wikimedia projects, and showcase the breadth of activity within wikimedia. Any kind of project can have a physical paper leaflet designed - for free - as a tool to help recruit new contributors. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations. This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g: • Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film • Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers. • Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc. • Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____ • Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost For more information or to sign up for one for your project, go to:
Greetings from GLAM-Wiki US
Join Us! Wikipedia Edit-a-thon: Greenwich Village in the 60s on November 2nd Join the Jefferson Market Library, Wikimedia NYC, and the Metropolitan New York Library Council for an all-day Wikipedia Edit-a-thon on Saturday, November 2nd at the Jefferson Market Library in Greenwich Village. The Edit-a-Thon will help complete Wikipedia articles about the history of Greenwich Village, as well as the public art, community gardens, and library branches in the area. Editors will have the opportunity to utilize rare items from the Greenwich Village Collection, which holds over 150 books on the history of New York City. Wikipedians will be on site to provide basic and advanced training on editing articles and working with images. Questions regarding the use of Wikipedia in classrooms, libraries, archives, and museums all over the world are welcome. No special Wiki knowledge is required to participate. Just bring your enthusiasm and a love of Greenwich Village! Event Details Location: New York Public Library, Jefferson Market Library in the East Village Address: 425 6th Ave, New York, NY 10011 Date: Saturday, November 2nd Featured ArticleHi all, I recently submitted the article Briarcliff Manor, New York to the list of featured article candidates. I am actively following its review, and will be glad to take criticism and advice, and I welcome you to edit the article directly. Would any members of this WikiProject take some time to assist in the article review? Thank you. Respectfully,

The specific investigation which may impact this project is located at Wikipedia:Contributor copyright investigations/Nconwaymicelli. All contributors with no history of copyright problems are welcome to contribute to CCI clean up. There are instructions for participating on that page. Additional information may be requested from the user who placed this notice, at the process board talkpage, or from an active CCI clerk. Thank you. Moonriddengirl (talk) 14:39, 1 August 2014 (UTC) Regarding the information posted about Basin Mountain in the Adirondack High Peaks: I speak with the authority of being ADK 46R #3310,, and having made 11 ascents of this peak over a 35-year period; the most recent ascent was 2014 August 11 with five friends and family members. One of the most common (popular) ways to reach Basin is by using Johns Brook Lodge (JBL), owned and operated by the Adirondack Mountain Club, as a base camp. This lodge provides room and board for a charge, and is accessed by walking trail (3.5 miles) from "The Garden" parking lot, west of Keene NY. As noted, this parking lot is sometimes full, so hikers need to be prepared to use the weekend shuttle service or arrange means to be dropped off at the Garden trailhead. Typically, hikers climbing Basin from JBL will hike on one afternoon, stay over at JBL, then do the peak as a day hike. Some have hiked out to the Garden after the day (7-9h round trip from JBL); others have stayed over then hiked out or climbed other peaks the next day. Normally, hikers who climb Basin proceed on to Saddleback, thereby completing a loop trail. This particular loop leaves JBL on the Phelps Trail through Bushnell Falls and Slant Rock, turning onto the Shorey Short Cut shortly past Slant Rock. It then intersects the Range Trail, heads east, and crosses the summits of Basin. The trail then descends precipitously down Basin's east side before heading up to Saddleback Mtn. After Saddleback, the trail heads into a col between Saddleback and Gothics: the hike is completed by heading down the Orebed Trail back to JBL. This route is more or less counter-clockwise and is recommended because of the extreme steepness of Saddleback's west side, and the dangers inherent in attempting to descend the slope. Hiking to Basin then retracing one's steps back across the Shorey Short Cut is seldom done; however, some hikers do so in order to also "bag" Haystack Mtn (to the west) in the same hike, rather than proceed to Saddleback. Basin itself has a remarkable 300-degree view of adjacent and distant peaks. In between the summits, and on the east side in various glades and cols, one can find an assortment of high-altitude plants in season. Basin does have a small population of alpine plants which are very fragile: heeding the signage and hiking only on the rocks and trails is essential to preserving them. Wlundycan (talk) 14:12, 17 August 2014 (UTC)William S. Lundy Where is/was Clay College?A large number of professional biographies of Gwendolyn Brooks state that she has taught at Clay College of New York. But I cannot find any mention of this college outside of references to Brooks. Does anyone here know anything about a Clay College in New York? I'm assuming it changed names, but I'm lost as to how to track it down. Thanks, Aristophanes68 (talk) 14:58, 23 August 2014 (UTC) Comment on the WikiProject X proposalHello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time! (Also, sorry about the posting mistake earlier. If someone already moved my message to the talk page, feel free to remove this posting.)

The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you! Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter.

I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it! Also, I'm new at making proposals, so please forgive me if I do anything silly. :) Hope that you like this idea! JonathanHopeThisIsUnique (talk) 04:56, 3 August 2015 (UTC) Editorial Suggestions: New York Medicaid Redesign TeamA page on the New York State Medicaid Redesign Team (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Medicaid_Redesign_Team) was recently declined. Here, I would like to propose the idea of adding the content under the WikiProject New York Page "New York State Department of Health" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_State_Department_of_Health). The page is germane to NYS Dept. of Health and NY generally b/c it served to slash Medicaid costs (previously among the highest in the country) while improving quality. In retrospect, this has been one of the more forward-looking initiatives of the Cuomo administration. I am also asking for general feedback on the declined page, particularly the charge that it does not meet Wiki's "notability" criteria. I feel that notability is addressed in part by putting the article under the broader rubric of NYS department of health, but welcome any other feedback that pertains to notability.

US 50,000 Challenge inviteHi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

Salina now part of Syracuse was on the SE side of the end of the Lake, Gettes on the SW. Until the 1840's they were Salina. I am writing a western with a character from 1840's Salina, so have looked up old NY state maps, other maps. Also I think Cicero is falsely listed as on the north end of the Onondaga Lake when it's some 15 miles away to the East.

Portals are being redesigned. The new design features are being applied to existing portals. At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{Transclude lead excerpt}}. The discussion about this can be found here. Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time. BackgroundOn April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals. Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals. So far, 84 editors have joined. If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive. If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page. Thank you. — The Transhumanist 07:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC) Help with replacing defective article?Hello Wiki Yorkers, I've been retained by a company called Broadridge Financial Solutions to help fix their article, which is considered in the scope of WikiProject New York.

The inactive are Wikipedia:WikiProject Long Island and Wikipedia:WikiProject Syracuse, New York, and the semi-active are Wikipedia:WikiProject Capital District and Wikipedia:WikiProject Hudson Valley. Wikipedia:WikiProject Western New York isn't tagged as such, but I'm including it also. All articles tagged in those projects should be tagged by WPNY as they are relevant to the project. To bring up some baseball biographies as examples, Patrick Corbin (a GA) is tagged with only the Syracuse project, while Marcus Stroman is only the Long Island project. Justin Dunn is tagged with NY and LI. I believe the best way to handle these three WikiProjects that have not been able to sustain themselves as standalone projects is to merge them into WPNY as task forces, where all WPNY editors can more easily maintain them. – Muboshgu (talk) 16:44, 15 September 2019 (UTC)

Unfortunately I'm a little short on time today, but I'll try to find some time Sunday hopefully, and in any event I doubt anyone will need my help to redirect pages anyway. On a semi-related note I tweaked the main project page to fix the post-expand size issue along with a few other things and added myself as a member just to make things official.

At present, most of the text is copied from the public domain source hdl:2027/coo.31924067076905, but I'm slowly finding more recent historical scholarship. As I learn more about the topic, though, I am less and less sure if it's an appropriate title or topic for an article. It seems there were a series of Christian missions to the Seneca people, among other Indigenous groups, in the 19th century in the general area of the Buffalo Creek Reservation, but I'm not sure if it makes sense to call any one of them the Seneca mission. Perhaps Seneca missions or even something like Christian missions in New York State would be more appropriate. Any guidance or insight appreciated.

Help with contents of Cornish HillFound the stub article on the "random article" button for Cornish Hill, spent the last 4-5 hours editing it to add things about the history and geography. Apart from finding notable events with the D&H Railway in the 1880s - 1920s, everything else I can find is less notable things. No articles really or anything else has been written about it except newspaper articles, and house listings in the area. Obviously I could say "houses dot the landscape" as well as say a few lines about various fires, car crashes, and other things that'd happened over the years, but considering how infamously--yet justifiably--source demanding wikipedia is, I feel I would have to list upwards of 20 sources in one paragraph. All of which may still be for naught considering previous experiences, where an admin comes on and deletes all my work or otherwise marks it absent just because it's contemporary or "not relevant" information. There's only so much you can do for a very obscure mountain peak such as this.

GSG is a political polling and consulting firm that does work for many Democratic lawmakers in New York. I was wondering if anyone here wants to review some revisions I'm proposing to the GSG article's New York State subsection, which covers said work. I've laid out my revisions in full on the GSG Talk page, so if you want details, you can head over there. Here's a link. Thanks in advance to anyone who takes the time to help out with the request!

RodRabelo7 (talk) 18:49, 2 June 2024 (UTC) New York city (links to be uppercased)There are 165 in-text links to lowercased 'New York city' (not counting talk or user pages etc.) which should be linked to uppercase New York City. Perhaps some editors from this WikiProject may have an interest in doing an uppercase run. I'll start chipping away at them. Randy Kryn (talk) 10:51, 6 June 2024 (UTC) |
