DYK for Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure)
[edit] | On 14 July 2011, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure), which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that conversation in a Paris café inspired the Surrealist sculpture Object (Le Déjeuner en fourrure), consisting of a fur-covered teacup, saucer and spoon? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |

Le Déjeuner en fourrure
[edit]Hi Pharos.
I found this article because of DYK (of course) and have a couple of suggestions I refrained from implementing myself because one of them would mean moving the article. That would consist of dropping the word "object" from the title since it's the museum's classification of what kind of work it is, not the title of the work itself, which is Le Déjeuner en fourrure.
And wherever it is necessary to refer to it as an object, the word shouldn't be in italics because it's English not French (un objet).
Otherwise, interesting!

- Hello again!
- Well, I went ahead anyway and made the move. Here are a trio of French sources that give the work's title as Le Déjeuner en fourrure, not objet/object, in case you want to check:

Ambassador Program: assessment drive
[edit]Even though it's been quiet on-wiki, the Wikipedia Ambassador Program has been busy over the last few months getting ready for the next term. We're heading toward over 80 classes in the US, across all disciplines. You'll see courses start popping up here, and this time we want to match one or more Online Ambassadors to each class based on interest or expertise in the subject matter. If you see a class that you're interested, please contact the professor and/or me; the sooner the Ambassadors and professors get in communication, the better things go. Look for more in the coming weeks about next term.
In the meantime, with a little help I've identified all the articles students did significant work on in the last term. Many of the articles have never been assessed, or have ratings that are out of date from before the students improved them. Please help assess them! Pick a class, or just a few articles, and give them a rating (and add a relevant WikiProject banner if there isn't one), and then update the list of articles.
Once we have updated assessments for all these articles, we can get a better idea of how quality varied from course to course, and which approaches to running Wikipedia assignments and managing courses are most effective.

Wikipedia Loves Libraries - Chicago
[edit]I met with the marketing folks at the Chicago Public Library today. I told them we would like to have a hackathon at their main branch. I said the event might benefit from a talk by a reference librarian or something. They asked if there is a typical event outline. I told her I had no such document and felt inclined to follow any advice she might have on planning such an event. I also said I would ask around about any guidelines or outline.--TonyTheTiger (T/C/BIO/WP:CHICAGO/WP:FOUR) 18:51, 9 August 2011 (UTC)
Some falafel for you!

Hi Richard, thanks a googol for all you've already done as a Wikipedia Regional Ambassador, including your initiative in adapting the Campus Ambassador training to fit local New York needs! I speak for the entire Wikipedia Global Education team when I say that I really really appreciate it.
I picked the falafel because you just got back from a country closer to the origin place of falafels... Um, yea. Annie Lin (Wikimedia Foundation) (talk) 22:19, 9 August 2011 (UTC) |
GLAM opportunity
[edit]Hi Pharos,
Any chance we could get a New Yorker Wikipedian to get some images of the Gandhara art from this exhibition? AshLin (talk) 10:31, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
Geonotice
[edit]Hi!
Could you change
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Loves_Libraries">Wikipedia Loves Libraries local events</a>
to
[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries|Wikipedia Loves Libraries local events]]
here, so that the link works as expected on secure server? The wiki syntax for internal links can now be used inside the text of the notices (see the talk page).
Thanks! Helder 23:12, 15 August 2011 (UTC)
- Analogously, on this new banner, it should be used something like
[[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Takes Montreal|Wikipedia Takes Montreal]]- Helder 16:29, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
- Never mind. Killiondude fixed the code. Helder 00:32, 30 August 2011 (UTC)
That works! :) Jalexander--WMF 17:38, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Since local librarians are asking all of us what the event will entail
[edit]Could you help drive the program discussion in WLL talk? You have done more of this than just about anyone. In order to present proposals, even prelim ones to librarians, we need to firm up a potential program or list of program elements. I've started the discussion and hope we can get some early clash. The better and sooner we devise a proto-program, the easier it will be for others to present to local libraries. As the proposals are largely unformed right now, there's really nothing for institutions to comprehend, so we don't look well-organized when we go in. What past events can we point to as successful integrations of the institutional and Wikipedia communities? (Like the NYC photography events?) BusterD (talk) 11:08, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
- Won't individual events need their own subpage where we can flesh out the customized program at the specific site? We'll need a place to sign up participants, both local and distant, plus a place for wikipedians to talk about the specific local event. BusterD (talk) 11:19, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
