Hi Mr.michal.
i am eagerly waiting to attend the meeting you host,im from East Africa and you based on people from Central East Europe (CEE).im waiting from you soon.
Thanks allan.
Hello,
I have some stories! I can provide more details on request.
Wikimedia New York City is doing the following:
It is a supporter of the Wikipedia Education Program in the United States,
hosting regular presentations at universities and encouraging professors to
incorporate Wikipedia into college classrooms
It is hosting the first US Wikipedia national conference next spring 2014.
Previously, the New York City annual Wikipedia Day event has attracted
100-150 people in each of the past three years. Next year will be the first
event which is for people in nationwide.
Wikimedia DC is doing the following
Wikimedia DC is the major supporting chapter for cultural partnerships in
the GLAM program in the United States
Wikimedia DC is a partner to the Cato Institute, a think tank which is
exploring the possibility of documenting all notable US laws of the central
government on Wikipedia. This is said to be necessary to democracy.
Wiki Project Med - A proposed thematic chapter which is international but
legally registered in New York
outreach to medical schools for the Wikipedia Education Program
Translation Task Force - an effort to improve the 100 most popular health
articles to good status, then translate them into every language. Supported
by a partnership with Translators without Borders
Partnerships with three organizations to develop health content - Consumer
Reports in the United States, the World Health Organization in Geneva, and
the Cochrane Collaboration in the UK
Wikimedia LGBT -a proposed thematic organization which is international but
almost entirely English speaking
fledgling organization seeking greater development
created proposal for Peer review between chapters -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Peer_review
proposal for people at gay prides around the world to upload and document
gay pride events in every country
development of Wikipedia anti-discrimination infrastructure, including
safe-space policies, harassment complaint guidelines, and support for
people who complain of discrimination
collaborations
Wikimedia DC, Wikimedia NYC, and Wiki Project Med are collaborating on a
partnership with the National Institutes of Health. This is the top health
agency of the government and several people in this organization are more
welcoming to a Wikipedia partnership than the current Wikipedia community
is able to be in return. When there is more health community which can
interact with them, it seems that they will be increasingly friendly to
collaborate.
Thanks,

Hello,
I want to urge everyone to look at the message I posted to the talk page
here -
http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Wiki_Project_Med#401.28c.29.283.29_Upda…
It discusses important information with regards to our application for
federal non-profit status and requires a response from all board members.
Thanks,
Peter
G'day!
I work on a resource called PubMed Health, at the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (NCBI), a division of the US National Library of
Medicine. We're part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in
Bethesda, Maryland.
Several years ago, the NIH held a Wikipedia Academy (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Academy/NIH_2009 ). Guidelines for
participation in Wikipedia were developed for NIH staff:
http://www.nih.gov/icd/od/ocpl/resources/wikipedia/index.htm
The NCBI has been collaborating with WikiProject Medicine for a few
months. We're delighted that Doc James (James Heilman from Project
Medicine) and Blue Rasberry (Lane Rasberry, Wikipedian-in-Residence at
Consumer Reports) are spending most of next week with us to further both
our collaboration, and We're having meetings and edit-a-thons next week
at the NIH campus in Bethesda - but you can also register to participate
in webinars of the edit-a-thons on Tuesday afternoon and Thursday morning
next week, US EST. Here's our project page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Medicine/May_2013
Email to register either in reply to this email or to pmhmeet(a)gmail.com
Apologies for the short notice - but we hope it's not too late to stir up
interest in participation.
Best wishes
Hilda Bastian
