Philadelphia WikiSalon, January 13, 2024 on Zoom This page archives a past event. Do not edit the contents of this page.
Sign up here for the WikiSalon announcements mailing list.
If something is wrong on Wikipedia, you can report it and help us fix it!
WikiSalon is skills-oriented, and monthly sessions alternate between demonstrations of new skills and work sessions to practice skills. Demonstrations are 5-10 minutes long (with an accompanying tutorial video and pdf) and target a specific skill related to Wikipedia, Wikidata, or Wikimedia Commons. Attendees share what they are working on, ask Questions, and get feedback and support.
Many of our regulars are librarians, archivists, professors or people interested in digital humanities and the sciences, but you don't need to be a scientist or librarian to attend or to work on the tasks or articles that we suggest. You can always work on topics that interest you.

Suggestions
[edit]Sheila Minor
[edit]Sheila Minor had a 35-year-long career at various federal agencies and was responsible for assessing environmental impact statements. The article is a bit messy and doesn't follow Wikipedia style in formatting.
Ruth Miriam Siems
[edit]Ruth Miriam Siems invented Stove Top Stuffing, getting the crumb size just right so it would be neither hard nor soggy. This article needs more sources and expansion.
- Doreva is researching Ruth Siems and stuffing! Dorevabelfiore (talk) 03:54, 15 November 2021 (UTC)
Corning Museum of Glass
[edit]
In the Corning Museum of Glass art and science meet as equals. The museum is absolutely stunning, but the Wikipedia page about it needs a bit of help -- and lots of citations.
The Southside Writers' Group
[edit]The South Side Writers Group is an important part of the black renaissance and the Great Migration. Founded in part by Richard Wright, I discovered in my previous editing that this page is merely a "stub" and there is so much that can be said on the group! *NMcNinney (talk) 18:19, 13 November 2021 (UTC)
- I have been keeping my eyes open for books and articles on this group and have yet to find any. I will contine to keep my eye out for anything on the subject. NMcNinney (talk) 15:09, 8 July 2023 (UTC)
Suggested articles
