Wikipedia Takes St. Louis
We got good weather. Hope you'll make it downtown for all the action! Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 08:07, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
That one userpage
The userpage you just RevDel'd I sent an email to ArbCom about since the closest I could find policy wise was WP:CHILDPROTECT. Ks0stm (T•C•G•E) 03:42, 20 September 2012 (UTC)

Wikipedia Loves Libraries

The Missouri Botanical Garden needs your help!
Hi Chaser! The Missouri Botanical Garden is currently working on the Art of Life project, which might build a very useful collaboration with the Wikimedia Commons. They're currently working on creating computer software which can identify the hundreds of thousands of illustrations in the 39 million pages scanned and published online by the Biodiversity Heritage Library (BHL). The identified illustrations are going to be pretty metadata-poor: the BHL only has bibliographic information on each book, and won't be able to add much more information to the images. The BHL is thinking about uploading those illustrations which are in the public domain to the Commons, where they could be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles and (hopefully!) have additional metadata added to them.
I worked with the BHL over the summer preparing the groundwork for this process, including setting up a collaboration page, setting up a category and creating a template for BHL metadata. But the next step -- building bridges between the BHL and the Commons -- is going to be critical, and I'd really appreciate your help in making that happen. User:Marcus Qwertyus suggested that you might be interested! If you are, please join us on our new mailing list!
If you have any other questions or feedback, please feel free to get in touch with me on my talk page or by e-mail . -- Gaurav (talk) 20:34, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
