SoCal Wiki News

Since you are in Orange County, you might be interested in a couple of bits of SoCal news. One is the first ever SoCal Wiki Meetup planned for Monday, July 25, 2005. For more info, see User:Eric Shalov/Wikimeetup. There is also a newly created Southern California WikiProject and California WikiProject that you might want to take a look at.

Fish userboxes

Hi Yesopenilno,

I thought you might be interested in some new fish userboxes. Here's one for fish {{User:UBX/Fish owner}} If you're interested in help with making any other userboxes, let me know and I'll see what I can do. Cheers, Rfrisbie 00:26, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art

First off, I apologize for the spam. You are receiving this message because you have indicated that you are in Southern California or interested in Southern California topics (either via category or WikiProject, or I happen to know personally).

I would like to invite you to the Los Angeles edition of Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art, a photography scavenger hunt to be held at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA) on Saturday, February 28, 2009, from 1:00 to 7:00 PM. All photos are intended for use in Misplaced Pages articles or on Wikimedia Commons. There will be a prize available for the person who gets the most photos on the list.

If you don't like art, why not come just to meet your fellow Wikipedians. Apparently, we haven't had a meetup in this area since June 2006!

If you are interested in attending, please add your name to Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art#Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Please make a note if you are traveling to the area (train or plane) and need transportation, which can probably be arranged via carpool, but we need time to coordinate. Lodging is as of right now out of scope, but we could discuss that if enough people are interested.

Thank you and I hope to see you there! howcheng {chat} 00:42, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Loves Art new date

Based on participants' votes, Misplaced Pages Loves Art LACMA has been rescheduled to Saturday, February 21, 2009 starting at 1:00 PM. Unfortunately, I have a prior commitment and cannot attend. I will need someone to be coordinator for that day. Let me know if you are willing. Thanks, and have fun! howcheng {chat} 17:50, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages Loves Art preparations

Are you read for WLA this Saturday? Here are some last minute preparations you should do before you arrive.

1. Be sure you have a spiral bound memo pad or notebook (and pen) to take notes and to use for writing the accession numbers, which you then have to photograph (see Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art/LACMA rules for details).
2. Be sure to print out the scavenger hunt list at Misplaced Pages:Misplaced Pages Loves Art/LACMA rules/list. You may also wish to visit http://collectionsonline.lacma.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=onview1 to make a plan of attack.
3. Since tripods and monopods are not allowed in the museum, consider making a string tripod (not as good as the real thing, but better than nothing).

Additionally, we will plan to eat out afterwards at a nearby dining establishment (TBD) -- hope you can join us for that. And finally, I was able to make arrangements for my daughter so I will be able to attend after all. Looking forward to seeing you there! howcheng {chat} 19:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Yesopenilno! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 3 of the articles that you created are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current 5 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Beatrix Schuba - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. Josée Chouinard - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
