items related to local nyc chapter[edit]

  • Topic from Sm8900: question about NYC local meetup chapter processes for members. --Sm8900 (talk) 00:07, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    • Question from Sm8900: is there a section for chapter-related topics to discuss, before we get to share and discuss?
Sorry, I'm simply not clear about that. --Sm8900 (talk) 23:52, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Share + Discuss[edit]

(please add any recent Wikimedia projects/events/activities you'd like to share with the group or open for discussion. These should be 3 minutes max. Please propose a breakout room for longer discussions.)

Are there any questions about Wikimedia projects you'd like to ask?[edit]

(anything at all! We'll do our best to answer if we can)

  • 1)Can anybody else find more images of this bus? Because if not, I'm going to have to redirect the category.

(talk) 13:09, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Can you please clarify what you mean about "the category" as the image is not a member of any category.
--CmdrDan (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The category is "General Motors TDH-5106 (7144)." This category only has that one image. -------User:DanTD (talk) 00:04, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Is this article a part of a larger project?
--CmdrDan (talk) 21:21, 30 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
NYC, Biography, and Marketing and Advertising. -------User:DanTD (talk) 00:05, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Here's a simple google query that gets some hits:

Challenge: Update wiki page with current data[edit]

My question: Discuss and enumerate strategies to update the members of this library consortium: The Oberlin Group of Libraries[edit]

The consortia website says there are 84 members, but the list on the wiki page--which is sourced "2021" contains 86 institutions--Two Too Many. 

https://www.oberlingroup.org/about-oberlin-group

The consortia list of members: 

https://www.oberlingroup.org/group-members

The wiki article with too many members: 

Oberlin Group of Libraries wiki page

Here's the challenge: Using the fewest keystrokes identify the two errant institutions and remove them from the list.

Extra Credit: Enumerate strategies to maintain/synchronize this data.

For your convenience I have created a google sheet that contains the institutions from the two sources above:
