There is going to be a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC_2" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC 2">Washington DC Wikipedia meetup</a> on next Saturday, July 21st at 5pm in DC. Since you are listed in <a href="/wiki/Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia" title="Category:Wikipedians in Virginia">Category:Wikipedians_in_Virginia</a>, I thought I'd invite you to come. I'm sorry about the short notice for the meeting. Hopefully we'll do somewhat better in that regard next time. If you can't come but want to make sure that you are informed of future meetings be sure to list yourself under "<b>but let me know about future events</b>", and if you don't want to get any future direct notices $like this one$, you can list yourself under "<b>I'm not interested in attending any others either</b>" on the DC meetup page.--<a href="/wiki/User:Gmaxwell" title="User:Gmaxwell">Gmaxwell</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Don_Braffitt#c-Gmaxwell-2007-07-14T22:09:00.000Z-DC_Meetup_notice" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:09, 14 July 2007 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Gmaxwell-2007-07-14T22:09:00.000Z-DC_Meetup_notice"><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">[</span><a class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-reply" role="button" tabindex="0" href="">reply</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-bracket">]</span></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Gmaxwell-2007-07-14T22:09:00.000Z-DC_Meetup_notice"></span> </p><p><br/> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="New_Article_Improvment_page_for_WP:VIRGINIA" data-mw-thread-id="h-New_Article_Improvment_page_for_WP:VIRGINIA-2007-08-04T01:18:00.000Z"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-New_Article_Improvment_page_for_WP:VIRGINIA-2007-08-04T01:18:00.000Z"></span>New Article Improvment page for WP:VIRGINIA<span data-mw-comment-end="h-New_Article_Improvment_page_for_WP:VIRGINIA-2007-08-04T01:18:00.000Z"></span></h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Don_Braffitt&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: New Article Improvment page for WP:VIRGINIA"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Dinosaur_puppy-2007-08-04T01:18:00.000Z-New_Article_Improvment_page_for_WP:VIRGINIA"></span>Seeing as our old Collaborations page at WP:VIRGINIA had no activity in the past year it was decided to replace it with a new <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Virginia/Article_Improvement" title="Wikipedia:WikiProject Virginia/Article Improvement">Article Improvement/Request Help</a> page that would allow members to list articles in need of attention.

We have a lot of different events coming up, so you will have a lot to choose from. </p><p>First, a reminder that our second annual <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women_in_the_Arts_2014" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Women in the Arts 2014">Women in the Arts Edit-a-Thon</a></b> will take place on Sunday, March 30 at the National Museum of Women in the Arts. </p><p>Coming up in April, we have our first-ever <b><a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/open-government-wikihack-tickets-10862424805">Open Government WikiHack</a></b> with the Sunlight Foundation on April 5–6! We are working together to use open government data to improve the Wikimedia projects, and we would love your help. All are welcome, regardless of coding or editing experience. We will also be having a <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight_Foundation_Happy_Hour" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Sunlight Foundation Happy Hour">happy hour</a></b> the day before, with refreshments courtesy of the Sunlight Foundation. </p><p>On Friday, April 11 we are having our first edit-a-thon ever with the Library of Congress. The <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa_Collection_Editathon" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Africa Collection Editathon">Africa Collection Edit-a-Thon</a></b> will focus on the Library's African and Middle East Reading Room. It'll be early in the morning, but it's especially worth it if you're interested in improving Wikipedia's coverage of African topics. </p><p>The following day, we are having our second annual <b><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki_Loves_Capitol_Hill_2014" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Wiki Loves Capitol Hill 2014">Wiki Loves Capitol Hill</a></b> training. We will discuss policy issues relevant to Wikimedia and plan for our day of outreach to Congressional staffers that will take place during the following week. </p><p>There are other meetups in the works, so be sure to check our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/DC" title="Wikipedia:Meetup/DC">meetup page</a> with the latest.

It's an informal gathering of Wikimedia enthusiasts, who come together to discuss Wikimedia wikis and collaboratively edit. There's no set agenda, and guests are welcome to recommend articles for the group to edit or edit on their own. </p><p>If you're coming by Metro, the closest station is Dupont Circle (on the Red Line). If you're driving, a lot of parking opens up downtown after 6:30 PM, so finding a parking space (even a free one) should be easy. Once you've found the building, go to Cove on the second floor.
