This template generates a [[pseudo-random]] integer between 0 and ''count''-1.
; Usage<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* <tt><nowiki>{{</nowiki>Rand<nowiki>|</nowiki></tt>''count''<tt><nowiki>|</nowiki></tt>''seed''<tt><nowiki>|</nowiki></tt>''prime''<tt><nowiki>}}</nowiki></tt>
* All parameters are optional and have default values. They must be integers.
* The default ''count'' is 100 (so by default, this template generates values between 0 and 99) and must be non-zero.
* The default ''seed'' is <nowiki>{{#time:z}}</nowiki> and can be set to any other integer value (used to generate distinct values on the same page).
* The default ''prime'' is 67 and should be a [[prime number]] above 17 (used to generate distinct values on the same page).
; Examples generating numbers between 0 and 999<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|</nowiki>{{#time:z}}<nowiki>|67}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|{{#time:z}}|67}} (same as above)
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|</nowiki>{{#time:z}}<nowiki>|61}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|{{#time:z}}|61}} (this and others should all be different)
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|6}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|6}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|5}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|5}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|4}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|4}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|3}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|3}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|2}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|2}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|1}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|0}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|17}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|17}} (varying the prime number)
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|19}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|19}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|23}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|23}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|29}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|29}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|31}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|31}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|37}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|37}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|41}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|41}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|43}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|43}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|47}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|47}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|51}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|51}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|53}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|53}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|59}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|59}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|61}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|61}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|67}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|67}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|71}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|71}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|73}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|73}}
* <tt><nowiki>{{Random number|1000|1|79}}</nowiki></tt> = {{Random number|1000|0|79}}
; Note<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* Varying ''seed'' linearly generates numbers that generate a linear sequence on the same page, with equal cyclic steps;
* Varying ''prime'' (provided that they are odd prime numbers) generates pseudo-random that have independent random distribution.
* Note that when ''count'' is even (such as 100 by default, or 1000 in the examples above), the generated numbers (on the same page) are all odd or all even when you are varying the ''seed'' or ''prime'', unless half of the calls use an even ''seed'' and the others used an odd ''seed''. However, later invokations will still alternate odd and even numbers on output (this problem only occurs on the same page where multiple random numbers are invoked).
* On the same page, multiple invokations of this template with the same parameters will generate the same output value, so it is possible to create multiple links related to the same article.

Implements the mathematical [[modulo]] operator. The returned result is always of the same sign as the ''modulus'' or nul, and its absolute value is lower than the absolute value of the ''modulus''. However, this template returns 0 if the ''modulus'' is nul (this template should never return a division by zero error). This template is '''not''' the same as the mod operator in the #expr [[m:Help:ParserFunctions|parser function]].
This template can be substituted.
; Usage<nowiki>:</nowiki>
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>mod|</code>''dividend''<code>|</code>''modulus''<code>}}</code>
:: Computes the modulo dynamically.
: <code><nowiki>{{</nowiki>subst:mod|</code>''dividend''<code>|</code>''modulus''<code>}}</code>
:: Substitute the template invokation by its computed value when saving an article wiki source.
; Examples with positive integer modulus<nowiki>:</nowiki>
* <code><nowiki>{{mod|12|10}}</nowiki></code> = {{mod|12|10}}.
* <code><nowiki>{{mod|10.1|10}}</nowiki></code> = {{mod|10.1|10}}.

On Saturday, March 8, 2014, NYPL’s Harlem Library hosted an area Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon with a goal of contributing to the free online knowledge about Harlem’s rich history.
With about 20 attendees the group attendees managed to add an article on the [[wikipedia:African American Day Parade|African American Day Parade]], and edit articles on Harlem’s demographics, the Harlem Fire Watchtower, Mount Morris Park Historic District, and the West Harlem Fund.

===Edit-a-thon at the Queens Public Library Central Library, December 6th, 2013===
[[File:QPL Dec 6th Edit-a-thon 8.JPG|thumb|QPL Dec 6th Edit-a-thon 8]]
*[[Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Queens Library|Event Page]].
*[[Wikipedia:GLAM/QueensLibrary| Queens Library GLAM Project]]
The Queens Library Central Branch in Jamaica, Queens held its first Wikipedia Edit-a-Thon on Friday, December 6 with the help of METRO’s Wikipedian-in-Residence and the Wikimedia NYC Chapter. The event sparked interest in editing Wikipedia articles about Queens History. Over 20 participants, including several Queens-based published historians, a few teenagers, and a handful of library staff, were in attendance.
Participants made use of materials from the Queens Archive, adding citations to rare books, articles, and ephemera to pre-existing Wikipedia pages. Librarians gathered research materials from the Queens Library Archive on flash drives and provided paper research files so that participants could strengthen Wikipedia articles with citations to primary and secondary materials housed in the archives. One example is a new article that was created on [[wikipedia:Emil Lucev|Emil Lucev]], a Queens Historian and writer who also appears in the Queens Archive. Five new articles were created.
Throughout the day, Wikipedians provided guidance in one-on-one interactions, covering topics from uploading photographs to adding citations to creating new articles. Most participants stayed a few hours, trying out the process of editing articles on local train historian [[wikipedia:Ron Ziel|Ron Ziel]], the [[wikipedia:Women’s Industrial Service League|Women’s Industrial Service League]] in Queens, and the NYC illustrator and photographer [[wikipedia:Eugene Armbruster|Eugene Armbruster]], as well as many others.
The Queens Library Central Branch and Queens Library Archives plans to edit Wikipedia articles internally. Work has begun on a GLAM-Wiki (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, Museums and Wikipedia) project.

The '''Wikipedia "Greenwich Village in the 60s" Edit-a-thon''' was a Wikipedia [[wikipedia:Editathon|Edit-a-thon]] hosted by [[wikipedia:New York Public Library|New York Public Library]]'s [[wikipedia:Jefferson Market Library|Jefferson Market Library]], [[wmnyc:|Wikimedia NYC]] and the [[wikipedia:Metropolitan New York Library Council|Metropolitan New York Library Council]].
[[File:Jefferson market.jpg|thumb|Jefferson Market Library <br/>Greenwich Village]]
The event was held on '''Saturday, November 2''', 2013, at the Jefferson Market Library (425 Avenue of the Americas) as part of this year's [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Loves Libraries|Wikipedia Loves Libraries]] global campaign. The event is hosted by Jefferson Market Library, Wikimedia NYC and METRO.
===Wikipedia Takes Brooklyn at the Brooklyn Public Library Central Library, September 7th and 8th, 2013===
On the weekend of September 7th and 8th, [[meta: Wikimedia New York City| Wikimedia NYC]], [[wikipedia:Metropolitan New York Library Council|Metropolitan New York Library Council]], and the [http://wikiotics.org/en/Wikiotics_Foundation Wikiotics Foundation]] teamed up to host “Wikipedia Takes Brooklyn,” New York’s first event for the 2013 “Wikipedia Loves Libraries” season. The event, held at the new Brooklyn Public Library, Central Library, Info Commons, included three smaller break-out groups; 1) a “Photo-hunt” for images of Brooklyn historic monuments and libraries and training on how to upload images to Wikipedia, 2) a one-on-one, open office hours for Wikipedia questions that lasted for both days, and 3) Wikiotics “Families Learning Bilingually,” a public program to develop educational resources on Wikipedia.
The event, totaling 12 hours, showed strong support from the Wikipedia community and public participants. Nine experienced Wikipedians helped provide training throughout the weekend, 20-30 members of the public attended, 17 new users were registered, and several members of the Brooklyn Public Library staff came to observe.
Statistics for the event were generated using the [[mw:Analytics/Wikimetrics|Wiki-Metrics]] analytics platform recently developed by the Wikimedia Foundation, which can analyze groups of User edits over time. Metrics were generated for two different intervals: One day, and two weeks after the event ended on Sunday 9/8.
One day after the event, 5 pages had been created, and 229 edits were made by participants. Two weeks after the event, 30 pages had been created, and 1019 edits were made by participants of the event. The growth in edits by multiple measurements shows that users continued to edit in the days after “Wikipedia Takes Brooklyn” ended. In addition to the Wikipedia engagement recorded above, over 73 images were also uploaded to Wikimedia Commons from the photo-hunt. Further, the learning materials provided at the event included a online learning guide for the event and Wikimedia Foundation learning booklets.
The qualitative accounts of the Wikipedia Weekend also include many individual success stories. One woman walked in on Sunday as a brand new Wikipedian, and after a one-on-one training that lasted a few hours, she created a user account, revised the entry for [[wikipedia:Sara Delano Roosevelt Park|Sara Delano Roosevelt Park]] in the Lower East Side, and added one of her own photographs to the page. She also expressed her amazement and delight at being able to add to the public history about her neighborhood and its residents.
Looking forward, organizers of the “Wikipedia Weekend” are planning to continue partnering with the Brooklyn Public Library Central Library to hold more regular Wikipedia events at the Info Commons. The event was considered a success by all supporting organizations.

'''Volunteer''' work will be loosely divided among four 'Teams' (Education, Financial, Media, and Tech), each focused on a different broad area. We will probably have discussion forums / mailing lists and a bit more structure for each of the 'Teams' in future.
You can [[membership|join]] as an official member too.
You can also help us improve documentation through the to-dos at the [[Wiki portal]].
The general discussion mailing list for teams and in-depth planning is [https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-us-nyc-discuss wikimedia-us-nyc-discuss] (this is separate from the events announcement mailing list).

'''The 8th New York City Meetup event''' was an informal picnic on '''August 24, 2008''' from about 2:00 to 8:00 PM. The picnic took place at Prospect Park. We met by the [http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&geocode=&q=Picnic+House,+Prospect+Park,+Brooklyn,+New+York&ie=UTF8&ll=40.682981,-73.966656&spn=0.043218,0.154495&t=h&z=13&iwloc=A picnic house].
As the second annual WikiNYC Picnic, the goal was to have a relaxing, enjoyable meeting of Wikipedia editors (others were welcome as well) in one of the many great parks in New York City. As a stark contrast to the previous four meetups, this was ''not'' a Wikimedia NYC meeting, although we were still welcome to talk business if we feel like it.
The location for this picnic was [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_Park_(Brooklyn) Prospect Park] in Brooklyn.

===Section 5. Resignations===
Any director may resign at any time by giving written notice to the President or Secretary. The resignation will take effect at the time specified therein, and, unless otherwise specified therein, the acceptance of the resignation will not be necessary to make it effective.
===Section 6. Meetings===
Regular or annual meetings of the Board of Directors will be held at such times and places as may from time to time be fixed by the Board of Directors or as may be specified in a notice of meeting.

===Section 7. Notice of Meetings===

Notice of each special meeting of the Board of Directors must be given to each director not less than two days before such meeting.

===Section 10. Manner of Acting===
Except as otherwise provided herein or required by applicable law, the vote of a majority of the directors present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the Board of Directors.
===Section 11. Conflicts Policy===
In connection with all actions taken by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof with respect to (i) any contract or transaction between the Corporation and one or more of its directors or officers, (ii) any contract or transaction between the Corporation and any other corporation, firm, association, or other entity in which one or more of the directors or officers of the Corporation are directors or officers or have a substantial financial interest, or (iii) any contract or transaction involving the Corporation which could result in a direct or indirect financial or personal benefit to a director or officer, each such interested director or officer of the Corporation shall:
:(a) disclose to the Board of Directors or committee thereof the material facts as to such director’s or officer’s interest in such contract or transaction or as to any such common directorships, offices, or significant financial interest, and
:(b) may participate in the information-gathering stage of the Board of Directors or committee’s discussion but will retire from the room in which the Board of Directors or committee is meeting and will not participate in the final deliberation or vote on such contract or transaction.
The minutes of the meeting of the Board of Directors or committee thereof will reflect (a) that the conflict of interest was disclosed, (b) that the interested director or officer was not present during the final discussion or vote of the Board of Directors or committee, and (c) that the interested individual abstained from voting.
Common or interested directors may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at the meeting of the Board or of a committee which authorizes such contracts or transactions.
All questions as to whether a conflict of interest exists will be resolved by a vote of the Board of Directors in which the interested individual may not vote.
A conflict of interest disclosure statement will be furnished annually to the Board by each director and officer. The disclosure statements will be reviewed annually by the Board of Directors or by a committee thereof. In addition, each director and officer must report promptly to the Corporation any potential conflict of interest as and when it arises. This conflict of interest policy will apply to other employees and agents of the Corporation, as determined by resolution of the Board.
In determining whether to approve a contract or transaction in which a director or officer may have an interest, disinterested directors will take into account the restrictions regarding either self-dealing under Section 4941 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), in the case of an organization classified as a private foundation, or excess benefit transactions under Section 4958 of the Code, in the case of an organization classified as a public charity.
===Section 12. Loans to Directors and Officers===
Subject to the exceptions outlined in Section 716 of the NPCL, no loans will be made by the Corporation to any director or officer, or to any other entity in which one or more director or officer is a director or officer or holds a substantial financial interest.
===Section 13. Committees of Directors===
:(a) Standing Committees. The Board of Directors, by resolution adopted by a majority of the entire Board, may create one or more standing committees to have and exercise such power and authority as the Board of Directors will specify and as permitted by law. Each standing committee will consist of three or more directors of the Corporation.
:(b) Special Committees. The Board of Directors may create one or more special committees. Special committees will have only the powers specifically delegated to them by the Board. The members of special committees must be directors of the Corporation.
:(c) Committees of the Corporation. The Board of Directors may create one or more committees other than standing or special committees, which will be committees of the Corporation to carry out such functions as the Board may specify and as permitted by law. The members of committees of the Corporation need not be exclusively directors of the Corporation.
:(d) Operation of Committees. At each meeting of a committee, a majority of the members of the committee will be present to constitute a quorum. The vote of a majority of the members of a committee present at any meeting at which there is a quorum will be the act of the committee.
===Section 14. Meeting by Conference Telephone===
Any one or more members of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may participate in a meeting of the Board of Directors or such committee by means of a conference telephone or similar communications equipment allowing all persons participating in the meeting to hear each other at the same time. Participation by such means will constitute presence in person at a meeting.
===Section 15. Action Without a Meeting===
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the Board of Directors or any committee thereof may be taken without a meeting if all members of the Board of Directors or such committee consent in writing (including by means of an electronic mail message) to the adoption of a resolution authorizing the action. The resolution and the written consents thereto by the members of the Board of Directors or such committee will be filed with the minutes of the proceedings of the Board of Directors or such committee.
===Section 16. Compensation of Directors===
The Corporation will not pay any compensation to directors for services rendered to the Corporation, except that directors may be reimbursed for reasonable expenses incurred in the performance of their duties to the Corporation.
==ARTICLE IV - ADVISORY BOARD==
The Board may designate an Advisory Board. Such Advisory Board will consist of persons who are interested in the purposes and principles of the Corporation. The Advisory Board and each member thereof will serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors. Any vacancy in the Advisory Board may be filled and any member of the Advisory Board may be removed, either with or without cause, by the Board of Directors. The Advisory Board will advise the Board of Directors as to any matters that are put before it by the Board of Directors concerning the Corporation. The Advisory Board will not have or purport to exercise any powers of the Board of Directors nor will it have the power to authorize the seal of the Corporation to be affixed to any papers that may require it.
==ARTICLE V - OFFICERS==
===Section 1. Officers===
The officers of the Corporation may consist of a President, a Secretary, a Treasurer, and such other officers with such titles as the Board of Directors will determine, all of whom will be chosen by and will serve at the pleasure of the Board of Directors.
===Section 2. Election, Term of Office, and Qualifications===
The officers of the Corporation will be elected annually by the Board of Directors at the annual meeting of the Board of Directors, and each officer will hold office until the earlier of such officer’s successor being chosen and qualified or such officer’s death, resignation, or removal. Only directors will be eligible for the office of President; no other officer need be a director. One person may hold, and perform the duties of, more than one office, provided that an individual who serves as President may not be held by the same person who also serves as Secretary. All officers will be subject to the supervision and direction of the Board of Directors.

A vacancy in any office arising from any cause will be filled for the unexpired portion of the term in the manner prescribed in these By-Laws for regular appointment to such office.
===Section 6. President===
The President will preside at all meetings of the Board of Directors. In the President’s absence, a person chosen by the directors will preside. The President will have and exercise general charge and supervision of the affairs of the Corporation and will do and perform such other duties as the Board of Directors may assign to the President.

==ARTICLE VIII - INDEMNIFICATION==
To the fullest extent permitted by law:
:(a) The Corporation will indemnify any person (and that person’s heirs, executors, guardians, administrators, assigns and any other legal representative of that person) who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is involved in (including as a witness) any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, proceeding or inquiry (brought in the right of the Corporation or otherwise), whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, and whether formal or informal, including appeals, by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director or officer of the Corporation, or, while a director or officer of the Corporation, is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, partner, trustee, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, for and against all expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by that person or that person’s heirs, executors, guardians, administrators, assigns or legal representatives in connection with that action, suit, proceeding or inquiry, including appeals. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Corporation will indemnify any person seeking indemnification in connection with an action, suit, proceeding or inquiry (or part thereof) initiated by that person only if that action, suit, proceeding or inquiry (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board.
:(b) No indemnification will be made to or on behalf of a director or officer if a judgment or other final adjudication adverse to the director or officer establishes that his or her acts were committed in bad faith or were the result of active or deliberate dishonesty and were material to the cause of action so adjudicated, or that he or she personally gained in fact a financial profit or other advantage to which he or she was not legally entitled.
:(c) Any indemnification made pursuant to this Article will be authorized according to the procedures set forth in Section 723 of the NPCL.
:(d) The Corporation will pay expenses as incurred by any person described in subsection (a) of this Article in connection with any action, suit, proceeding or inquiry described in subsection (a) of this Article; provided that, if these expenses are to be paid in advance of the final disposition (including appeals) of an action, suit, proceeding or inquiry, then the payment of expenses will be made only upon delivery to the Corporation of an undertaking, by or on behalf of the person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it is ultimately determined that the person is not entitled to be indemnified under this Article or otherwise.
:(e) The Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person described in subsection (a) of this Article against any liability asserted against that person, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify the person against that liability under the provisions of this Article or otherwise.
:(f) The provisions of this Article will be applicable to all actions, suits, proceedings or inquiries made or commenced after the adoption of this Article, whether arising from acts or omissions occurring before or after its adoption. The provisions of this Article will be deemed to be a contract between the Corporation and each director or officer who serves in such capacity at any time while this Article and the relevant provisions of the laws of the State of New York and other applicable law, if any, are in effect, and any repeal or modification of this Article will not adversely affect any right or protection of any person described in subsection (a) in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of the repeal or modification.
:(g) If any provision of this Article will be found to be invalid or limited in application by reason of any law or regulation, that finding will not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Article. The rights of indemnification provided in this Article will neither be exclusive of, nor be deemed in limitation of, any rights to which any person described in subsection (a) of this Article may otherwise be entitled or permitted by contract, the Certificate of Incorporation, vote of the Board, or otherwise, or as a matter of law, both as to actions in the person’s official capacity and actions in any other capacity while holding such office, it being the policy of the Corporation that indemnification of any person described in subsection (a) of this Article will be made to the fullest extent permitted by law.
:(h) For purposes of this Article, reference to “other enterprises” will include employee benefit plans; reference to “fines” will include any excise taxes assessed on a person with respect to an employee benefit plan; and reference to “serving at the request of the corporation” will include any service as a director or officer of the Corporation which imposes duties on, or involves services by, that director or officer with respect to an employee benefit plan, its participants or beneficiaries.
:(i) The Corporation may, by vote of the Board, provide indemnification and advancement of expenses to employees and agents of the Corporation.
:(j) If any action with respect to indemnification of directors and officers is taken by way of amendment of the By-Laws, resolution of directors or by agreement, then the Corporation will, not later than the next annual meeting of members, unless such meeting is held within three months from the date of such action, and, in any event, within fifteen months from the date of such action, mail to its members of record at the time entitled to vote for the election of directors a statement specifying the action taken.
==ARTICLE IX - GENERAL PROVISIONS==
===Section 1. Fiscal Year===
The fiscal year of the Corporation will be fixed by the Board of Directors.
===Section 2. Seal===
The corporate seal will have inscribed thereon the name of the corporation, the year of its organization and the words “Corporate Seal, Not-for-Profit, New York.” The seal may be used by causing it or a facsimile thereof to be impressed or affixed or in any manner reproduced.

==Friendly Space Policy for Wikimedia Events==
Wikimedia NYC is dedicated to providing a harassment-free event experience for everyone, regardless of gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, religion, or preferred Creative Commons license (and not limited to those aspects). We do not tolerate harassment of conference participants in any form. This kind of behavior is not appropriate for any Wikimedia NYC events. Event participants violating these rules may be sanctioned or expelled from the conference at the discretion of the event organizers.
We expect participants to follow these policies at all event venues and related social events.
===Definition of Harassment===
Harassment includes, but shall not be limited to, offensive verbal comments related to gender, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, disability, physical appearance, body size, race, ethnicity, political affiliation, or religion.
Harassment also includes the non-contextual display of sexual images, deliberate intimidation, stalking, unwelcome following, harassing photography or recording, sustained disruption of talks or other events, inappropriate physical contact, and unwelcome sexual attention.
Participants asked to stop any harassing behavior are expected to comply immediately.
===Corrective Action===
Event organizers are responsible for ensuring this policy is followed. If they are concerned about the conduct of an individual, or receive a complaint, they will take action appropriate to the situation. In some cases this might be a private warning to the person concerned asking them to change their behaviour. In more serious cases it may be necessary to ask someone to leave. If necessary, event organizers will involve the staff of the premises where the event is being held, or the Police.
If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of event staff immediately.
Event staff will be happy to help participants contact hotel/venue security or local law enforcement, provide escorts, or otherwise assist those experiencing harassment to feel safe for the duration of the event.
Where an individual exhibits a pattern of harassing behavior, the President of Wikimedia NYC may recommend to the Board that the individual be excluded from all future Wikimedia NYC activities. Such exclusion will take effect pending a resolution of the Board.
Any concerns with the implementation of this policy should be raised with the President of Wikimedia NYC in the first instance.
===Contact Information===
Phone numbers for event organizers, local hotel/venue security, local law enforcement, local sexual assault hot line, local emergency and non-emergency medical, and local taxi company to be publicized to event participants as appropriate on a per-event basis
''Similar policies exist for community events as well, such as the [[WMF:Friendly_space_policy|Wikimedia Foundation’s friendly space policy for tech events]], [[wmuk:Participation policy|Wikimedia UK's participation policy]] and [[meta:GLAMcamp DC/Friendly space policy|GLAMcamp’s friendly space policy]].''

===Contributing to Wikipedia Articles on Music: An Interview with Bob Kosovsky of NYPL's LPA===
January 27th, 2014
[[File:The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts-Entrance-Manhattan.jpg|thumb|The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts Entrance. Manhattan, NY]]
'''DH: Tell us a little about your experience with Wikipedia. When did you first get started editing?'''
BK: I first registered for Wikipedia in July 2006 because I kept hearing about it in the news and though it was another Web 2.0 technique that I should learn. That summer, I was working with a lot of sheet music from musicals. One of the difficulties I encountered was capturing information about the lesser-known musicals especially those from the turn of the 20th century, and having that information handy. Although I found some entries in reference books, I kept thinking that it would be helpful if I created my own reference tool, a collection of bibliographic information. As I began to collect this information, I thought "Why not add it to Wikipedia?" So I began my editing career by working on articles devoted to turn-of-the-century musicals and the people involved with them.
'''What topics do you edit most as an employee of the New York Public Library at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts?'''
As a trained musician who is interested in the performing arts, I edit articles primarily dealing with the performing arts, especially on music. One pet project of mine is creating articles on some of our intellectually valuable music manuscripts. For decades we have kept a file of published journal articles on these manuscripts. Those articles have been essential in creating Wikipedia entries.
Beyond that pet project, I don't have a systematic plan and edit whatever strikes my fancy within the sphere of my subject specialty. I try to edit things that I regard as being helpful to others that come to my attention as a result of work, through reference questions, or through dialogues on music-related email lists that I follow. I once had an email reference question where the patron asked who was the "Broadway Rose" mentioned in Betty Comden's and Adolph Green's lyrics to the song "Conga" from Leonard Bernstein's musical "Wonderful Town." That made me create an article on Broadway Rose. Some time ago a European music librarian lamented that Wikipedia did not have a detailed list of composer catalogs (necessary tools in field of music scholarship). So I took it upon myself to add bibliographic information to the article "Catalogues of classical compositions."
Another article to which I contributed is "Retrograde (music)." In music, retrograde is the idea that one can take a melodic idea and have it played in reverse. Though it may sound odd, retrograde was an important compositional technique prior to the year 1600 and then was revived in the 20th century where it became even more important. With the help of others, I can say proudly that the Wikipedia article on retrograde is far more detailed and superior to any comparable article in any music dictionary, music encyclopedia, or in any textbook or history of music (all of which I had to consult to expand the article).
I also created the article on the building where I work, the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts. Although writing Wikipedia articles is certainly not part of my job description, I was aware that authoring that article could be considered a conflict of interest. So I made sure to work on the article only when I was not at work, and included controversial comments that have appeared in the press, so as to ensure balance in the article's point of view. In that regard, I try hard not to use Wikipedia as a publicity tool, but as a source of information about the resource. (I also try to restrict most my editing activities to when I'm not at work.)
Though I began to see how Wikipedia could enhance my work tasks, I've also extended my interest into other topics of which I'm knowledgeable. In the 1960s, my family purchased a townhouse in Greenwich Village near where I attended school (and near METRO's headquarters). We sold the house before moving in, but not before I discovered that it was built on top of a dried-up riverbed, that of Minetta Creek. For over 40 years I've kept up with knowledge of Minetta Creek until I realized that I could share what I knew (and find out more) by writing an article for Wikipedia.

'''Tell us a about the dynamics of your Wikipedia work at NYPL. Do you collaborate with other staff members to choose topics to edit on Wikipedia?'''
My coworkers know that I am involved with Wikipedia and we have had three edit-a-thons in our building. But except for one, most of the staff has shown reluctance to join in. It might be because of the economy, where each staff member is currently saddled with doing the jobs that were previously accomplished by 2-4 people. But also I believe that because so many staff members are involved with the performing arts beyond the library, it doesn't leave enough time to easily learn and contribute to Wikipedia. So I operate alone.
'''What concrete successes have you been able to track that result from your activity on Wikipedia for NYPL?'''
Our first edit-a-thon received major attention from the New York Times, as well as an article in the American Library Association's American Libraries. As edit-a-thons have become more commonplace it has been harder to sustain the interest among the public without extensive publicity. I realize that any edit-a-thon must be publicized widely, far beyond those you expect to attend. It can be a great way to raise awareness among those who do not regularly consult Wikipedia.
I have not systematically tracked the articles I have created as they are of specialized interest. Yet, when I see their page statistics I know that they receive probably more attention through Wikipedia than through their bibliographic records in our catalog.
'''What are your goals as a Wikipedia editor at NYPL Library of the Performing Arts?'''
Again, I don't see Wikipedia as a vehicle for publicity (such use is specifically forbidden by the site's rules). Rather, I see Wikipedia as a chance to integrate specialized information into the wider universe of knowledge and to provide connections between topics. I truly believe that every one of our music manuscripts plays a larger role in general history than just being a collection of music. By assimilating and presenting all the published information I can find through Wikipedia articles, I can show the world the significance of these works and their relevance within a larger context.
'''What types of projects do you foresee being helpful for Wikipedia and other cultural heritage organizations?'''
First there is the Wikipedia side. When many talk about "Wikipedia," we are often using that as a shorthand for the Wikimedia Foundation and its projects. There are a number of fabulous projects to which library staff could contribute. After the encyclopedia, probably the most notable is the Commons, the repository of (mostly) free imagery that anyone can use and study. This is a great counterweight to for-profit image archives, as organizations will look for free images before they pay a for-profit. Just recently, a picture I took of my institution appeared in the Huffington Post. I have also contributed to WikiQuote, a repository of notable quotations.)
Then there is the library side. Since this interview is intended for METRO members, I think the combination of Wikipedia and METRO can provide a unique opportunity for librarians of different institutions to foster interlibrary collaboration by focusing on articles of mutual interest and improving our coverage in Wikipedia. One example is a project I began during the summer: Wikipedia's coverage of Special Collections. The meager article on Special Collections in Wikipedia is embarrassing to those of us who work with such materials, and I was hoping to garner support for improvement. Perhaps readers of this interview will be prompted to contribute to this and other articles in their sphere of interest. With so many dire predictions about the future of libraries that one hears, it is in the best interest of METRO members to show libraries' and librarians' value by improving those Wikipedia articles relevant to us.
Then there is a side that goes beyond Wikipedia and libraries. Anyone involved with music (and other fields) is probably aware of how the extension of copyright had limited what a researcher can do with copyrighted music. Although the Copyright Term Extension Act was passed over 15 years ago, I'm always concerned that media corporations will lobby the U.S. Congress to extend the length of copyright to over a century. Therefore I think it's necessary for everyone to become involved with copyright and take a more active role. To that end, I believe that contributions to the public domain are of crucial importance. Although published work from 1923 has to wait until 2019 to enter the public domain, unpublished works by persons who died more than 70 years ago are now public domain in the United States. I believe that we should consider it a mission to strengthen the public domain by uploading this free work to Wikipedia so that it may enhance not just Wikipedia or our institutions, but culture and knowledge in general.
'''What is your advice to researchers, students, and teachers that are wary of using Wikipedia as a reliable source?'''
Wikipedia's reliability varies among articles, just as reliability varies in any encyclopedia or dictionary. My recommendation is to sit down with Wikipedia for at least an hour and compare articles to each other, examining how they were created by looking at their coverage of reference sources cited. Learn how to judge articles by their bibliographies, histories, and talk pages.Controversial articles can be a good way to learn how the article was written and why certain choices were made (most politicians' biographical articles are controversial, meaning that Wikipedia editors have to reconcile multiple and conflicting points of view).
Be aware that Wikipedia is a social community. Before you start editing pages, register yourself and get to know the community by looking at talk pages, joining a WikiProject of interest and introducing yourself, and looking at your talk page for feedback. Once they get to know you, people will be helpful in showing you how things work.
People who work in libraries -- whether they are staff or visiting researchers and patrons -- have a great opportunity to contribute what they find to Wikipedia. I highly encourage everyone to start now!

==Wikipedia for Special Collections: A Conversation with Watson Library's William Blueher==
November 25th, 2013
[[File:The Metropolitan Museum of Art.JPG|thumb|The Metropolitan Museum of Art]]
'''Tell us a little about your experience with Wikipedia. When did you first get started editing? How has your formal education related to Wikipedia?'''
In my final semester as a library school student at Pratt SILS in the spring of 2012, I did a practicum at Thomas J. Watson Library (the main research library at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, where I am now on staff). The focus of the practicum was looking at how libraries can attract users to their ever-growing collections of digitized material. The project - subtitled “If We Build It, Will They Come?” - had both a practical element (digitizing and promoting actual material from the library) and a more theoretical component, in which I reviewed the relevant literature to see what other institutions either were doing or hoped to do in order to increase usage of their digital collections.
In my literature review, I stumbled across an article titled “Harnessing social networks to connect with audiences” by Dreanna L. Belden (2008), in which the author discussed how her library had added links in Wikipedia to relevant items in its digital collections, and how this helped to increase traffic to the collections.
So, when I was hired on as a full-time staff member at Watson Library not long after I graduated, I proposed that we start doing the same thing. We have been adding links to Wikipedia articles since August 2012 - more than 1,500 so far - and the results have been overwhelmingly positive.
'''What topics do you edit on Wikipedia?'''
We edit articles related to items in our Digital Collections. Since we are an art museum library, most of the material we have is of an art historical nature. As a result, most of the Wikipedia articles we add links to relate to art in some way. A history of the articles we’ve edited can be found at my Wikipedia userpage.
'''Tell us a about the dynamics of your Wikipedia work at the Watson Library. How does it relate to the work you do as a librarian?'''
We see Wikipedia as a natural extension of one of our primary missions, which is to make our collections known and available to readers and researchers who can use them. By adding links in Wikipedia, we are helping ensure our material is discovered by a wide audience (Wikipedia is one of the 5 biggest websites in the world, after all), which is exactly what most libraries – and digital collections in general – strive to do.
'''What concrete successes have you been able to track that result from your activity on Wikipedia for Watson Library?'''
We have been monitoring the success of this initiative by using Google Analytics. Over the last 30 days, we have had 14,898 visits to the Digital Collections. Over the same period a year ago, we only had 4,928 visits. This is an increase of over 200%, with nearly 10,000 more visits in a single 30-day period this year than last.
Of the 14,898 visits over the last 30 days, 57% were referred by Wikipedia (8,570), whereas a year ago, only 31% came from Wikipedia (1,552). As we’ve put more into Wikipedia, it has referred more back out to us.
As these figures indicate, Wikipedia has helped us generate a dramatic increase in traffic to the Digital Collections.
'''What are your goals as a Wikipedia editor at Watson Library?'''
At Watson Library, we have spent the last few years digitizing tens of thousands of items and making them freely available to anyone who visits our website, either on location or remotely. We are proud of our constantly growing Digital Collections, and we want as many people as possible to use them.
'''What types of projects do you foresee being helpful for Wikipedia and the Watson Library?'''
I am excited to see how GLAM-Wiki NYC evolves over time, and hope to get more involved in that community. I think that libraries, as well as cultural institutions in general, can gain a lot by harnessing the immense appeal and reach of Wikipedia.
'''What is your advice to researchers, students, and teachers that are wary of using Wikipedia as a reliable source?'''
I know when it started in the early 2000’s people had all sorts of reservations, but I think over time it has more than proven its usefulness as an information resource and people seem to have gotten used to it. Is it flawless and infallible? Absolutely not. But no encyclopedia ever has been. It is a work-in-progress, but one with seemingly boundless potential. I mean already, in less than a decade and a half, there are over 4 million articles in English alone! Now, I would never say (and I don’t think anyone does) that Wikipedia is the only source one needs to consult when doing research, but because of its immense breadth of scope it is an absolutely indispensable resource to consult when beginning to research literally millions of different topics.

===Wikipedia for Special Collections: A Conversation with Center for Jewish History’s Leanora Lange===
[[File:Center for Jewish History NYC 14.JPG|thumb|Center for Jewish History in Manhattan]]
'''Tell us a little about your experience with Wikipedia. When did you first get started editing? Has your education related to your Wikipedia interests?'''
CJH created an account when we had our first Edit-a-thon here at the Center for Jewish History in January 2013, hosted by my colleague Kevin Schlottmann. My interest in Wikipedia had already been sparked by my education at the Pratt Institute School of Information and Library Science. In a course on knowledge organization at Pratt, I learned that DBpedia, one of the major hubs of data that is used to create Linked Open Data, is extracted directly from Wikipedia. This means that the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit is a huge contributor to the possibility of a new kind of web, one that links data in meaningful ways rather than just linking from one document/webpage to another.
I am fortunate to have the chance to work on a Linked Open Data project called Linked Jazz (linkedjazz.org) with Cristina Pattuelli, Pratt’s professor of knowledge organization, and a fantastic research team. We’ve been investigating possibilities with Wikipedia because we’ve recognized how crucial a strong Wikipedia is for the possibility of a strong web of data.
'''What topics do you most edit on Wikipedia?'''
I make small changes to pages that are relevant to the collections that I process at the Center for Jewish History. I mainly process collections held by the Leo Baeck Institute, one of the five partner organizations at the Center for Jewish History. Almost all of my edits have been related to German-speaking Jewry per the Leo Baeck collection. Because of the nature of the grants under which I currently work, the topics have largely centered on Jewish-German emigrants in the 1933-1945 era, the Holocaust, and post-World War II restitution claims.
I most commonly make edits like adding a link to the finding aid for an individual or organization whose papers I just processed, adding authority control numbers, or adding an infobox. I've also created pages for organizations where they didn't already exist or translated pages that exist on German Wikipedia into English.
My colleagues and I have been collecting ideas for larger editing projects that could be undertaken during an Edit-a-thon.
'''Tell us a about the dynamics of your Wikipedia work at CJH? How does it relate to the work you do as a librarian?'''
I've become involved with Wikipedia because I believe that as a professional in the field of libraries, archives, and museums, it is part of my ethical duty to make information and resources accessible. Providing a small amount of very useful information on Wikipedia, like adding a link to a finding aid, is an easy and effective way to be an active information professional. That said, the editing that I’ve been doing really ought to be seen as part of a collective effort that has been undertaken by the archivists and other colleagues with whom I work at CJH.
We have incorporated Wikipedia editing into the workflow of all of the processing archivists working at the Center’s processing lab. We have a quick online report form that we fill out when we’ve finished processing a collection, and since January this report has included questions related to Wikipedia editing. There is also a space to fill out suggestions for more in-depth edits that could be made in the context of an Edit-a-thon.
A few of us have become particularly enthusiastic about editing Wikipedia and have been developing a newly-created Wikipedia Subcommitee. We will discuss and assess our current editing practices, brainstorm new ideas, and plan Edit-a-thons relevant to our work at CJH.
'''What concrete successes have you been able to track that result from your activity on Wikipedia for CJH?'''
Our approach is simply to include Wikipedia as part of our regular workflow: every time we finish processing a collection, each of us checks to see if Wikipedia edits related to the collection are warranted.
Since the end of January (that is, since our first CJH Edit-a-thon), we have created six new pages and made edits like adding links, authority numbers, and infoboxes for thirty-seven collections. While that number might not be enormous, that's at least thirty-seven Wikipedia pages that are better due to the minimal effort of just checking whether the relevant page could use a little help and improving it when beneficial.
'''What are your goals as a Wikipedia editor at CJH?'''
Editing Wikipedia is part of being an information professional. I cannot claim to be creating or organizing all of the world's knowledge single-handedly, but I can make contributions within the context of my work that help users connect to relevant and useful information resources.
The more editors we have from diverse places and with diverse expertise, the more we will benefit from free, open access to better information and to the resources referenced within Wikipedia articles.
'''What types of projects do you foresee being helpful for Wikipedia and CJH?'''
I plan to play a large part in pulling together our next Edit-a-thon at CJH. Edit-a-thons create the opportunity to improve information and have the potential to be a great community outreach tool. I am also looking forward to brainstorming with others in the newly-formed Wikipedia Subcommittee at CJH on this and other future efforts. Increased interest in Wikipedia across the LAM field is beneficial for Wikipedia and for CJH.
'''What is your advice to researchers, students, and teachers that are wary of using Wikipedia as a reliable source?'''
Wikipedia is imperfect. So are many other reference resources. What sets Wikipedia apart is that it completely owns up to its imperfection. The source of anxiety for many researchers, students, and teachers concerning Wikipedia’s reliability is also the source of its strength: anyone can edit it. Articles may contain misinformation or information that is lacking in one way or another, and articles on certain topics may not exist at all, but when issues arise, it is far easier and quicker to correct them than it would be for a traditional reference book or encyclopedia.
Wikipedia offers amazing learning opportunities about the reliability of information in any form, but particularly on the internet; the platform encourages students and researchers to approach what they read with a critical eye and question whether the information presented is complete and accurate.
I’m among the librarians and archivists who see Wikipedia as a fine place to start research; it offers a quick overview of a topic and is based on the principle of citing sources. Any Wikipedia article ought to be linked to some other resources. These are not the only ones to check, obviously, but it’s a place to start.
Short answer: If you don't think Wikipedia is good enough, make an account and make it better!
