Hard at work

Wikipedia:The Musical in NYC was an editathon, Wikipedian meet-up and lecture that was held on Saturday, October 22, 2011, at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts, as part of the Wikipedia Loves Libraries events being held across the USA.

The goal will be to improve Wikipedia articles and content related to WikiProject Musical Theatre. It's a great way to observe National Arts and Humanities Month.

Scope

[edit]

Potential participants might want to investigate WikiProject Musical Theatre, in particular Articles Needing Creation as well as the section labeled "Things To Do." Please bring a laptop if you have one.

Despite the focus on musical theatre, anyone interested in the performing arts and allied fields can come and participate. That includes ballet, dance, all kinds of music, all kinds of theatre, film, television and radio. It can also include topics such as:

Wikipedians might also want to create/amplify articles that are in need of development on the topics of

See talk page of this article for clickable list of the WP:MUSICALS article assessment table. Most of the Musicals articles are Stubs or Start-class. They need more references and research - Let's try to bring some up to at least C-class.

Re: referencing: "The trouble with quotes on the internet is that it's difficult to determine whether or not they are genuine." -- Abraham Lincoln

Agenda

[edit]

Pharos, DGG & Ssilvers will repeat their talk at 3 or 4 PM, or take questions, depending on demand. Library staff will be available throughout the day for consultations and advice.

Library card

[edit]

All users should have a New York Public Library card. If you don't already have one, you can sign up here: Apply for a Library Card (choose the option "I Want to Pick Up My Card in Person").

Bring a digital camera

[edit]

All photocopying requests must be vetted. Particularly if you're using clippings or old materials, library staff will need to do the photocopying. You are much better off bringing a digital camera and adhering to library policy on camera use (no flash and no tripods). You can photograph numerous pages and clippings using your own camera. Additionally, Wikipedians will be fortunate in being able to take advantage of the library's upcoming new policy on photographing documents and images. Additionally, taking photographs of activities is a nice way to document the day. -- kosboot (talk) 21:22, 17 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hashtag: #WLL11

[edit]

The Twitter hashtag for the day will be: #WLL11 (upper or lowercase). -- kosboot (talk) 17:56, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The hashtag can also be used to tag photographs posted to Flickr. -- kosboot (talk) 22:08, 18 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
