Upcoming Wikimedia events in Missouri and Kansas!

Hello Kansans and anyone in the region! You're invited to 3 exciting events Wikipedians are planning in your area this month—a tour and meetup at the National Archives in Kansas City, and Wiknics in Wichita and St. Louis:

Kansas City Saturday, June 16, starting at 9 a.m. — National Archives in Kansas City This full-day event will include a tour of the facility; presentations from National Archives Wikipedian-in-Residence, Dominic McDevitt-Parks, and Exhibit Specialist, Dee Harris; and time in the research room to work on projects. Come by for any or all of the days events. The focus of the projects will be scanning, writing articles, transcribing, or categorizing images on Commons. Wikipedians from St. Louis and elsewhere in the region are encouraged to make a day-trip of it and come to Kansas City for this special opportunity! We may be able to accommodate bus fares for those coming from nearby cities in the region.
And two local editions of the Great American Wiknic, the "picnic anyone can edit." Come meet (and geek out with, if you want) your local Wikipedians in a laid-back atmosphere: Wichita Saturday, June 23, starting at 1 p.m. — Central Riverside Park Join the 1st annual Wichita Wiknic: The Sunflower State blooms Free Knowledge! St. Louis Saturday, June 23, starting at 11 a.m. — Forest Park Visitors' Center Join the 2nd annual St Louis Wiknic: The Gateway to the West is now The Gateway to the Wiki!

Xiphactinus audax at the Sternberg Museum

Paid a visit to the Sternberg Museum of Natural History on Saturday and got one good high-resolution photo of the Xiphactinus audax fossil. I have added it to the article for George F. Sternberg, Xiphactinus audax, and Gillicus arcuatus. To be one of the most photographed fossils in the world, I'm surprised it has taken this long for a photo to be uploaded to WP. Enjoy!

New project proposal

Please review the new project proposal at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Wikipedia editor business card project. The hope is that this project will help Wikipedians gain press credentials and make it easier to get higher quality image files for free use.--Paul McDonald (talk) 13:41, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

College basketball team navigation templates

Please join the discussion at the College Basketball Wikiproject for forming a consensus on the creation of a basic navigation template for college basketball teams. Creation of these templates will impact articles on Kansas related teams such as KU and KSU. CrazyPaco (talk) 11:35, 20 November 2013 (UTC)
