Schedule
[edit]- We'll offer training only if new people come who need it.
- Our plan is to review sets of pages on English Wikipedia that refer to the whitehouse.gov site and see if the links work right, and if not to make a wise substitution.
- We also would like to understand why different searches are giving different numbers of such links.

- What happens if I get hungry? We'll have food! Details TBD.
- What should I bring? A laptop computer

To do's
[edit]- update Whitehouse.gov article for new administration
- Follow up any of these searches for external links to whitehouse.gov. Are they broken? If so search for a good substitute. One to try is simply obamawhitehouse.gov, the National Archives version from January:
- and diagnose the various searches and why they give sharply different numbers of pages back ; find ways to count mainspace only
- and follow up this conversation: Wikipedia:Village_pump_(miscellaneous)#Whitehouse.gov_changes_have_broken_many_URLs_used_on_Wikipedia
- tangent: look to include new sources from Talk:Public_Interest_Declassification_Board
- Sunlight's post about this
- Worklist of federal R&D agencies
- update Category:Obama administration personnel and Category:Trump administration cabinet members
- People listed in Political appointments of Donald Trump
- Andreas Georgiou -- interesting case, not in US administration
