November and December have been busy months for New York City Wikimedians.
On Thursday December 4, 2014, Wikimedia NYC held its most recent chapter meeting at Babycastles Gallery in Manhattan. About 30-40 were in attendance, with many new to Wikipedia.
On Sunday December 14, a NYC Wikidata Workshop and Skill Share was held with the Wikimedia NYC community in Brooklyn’s DUMBO neighborhood. The workshop was facilitated by User:Emw, an experienced Wikidata editor. Wikimedia NYC hopes to host more WikiData workshops in the future.
