Hi Minorax,

I will check this out and see what I can do to improve it. Myotus (talk) 06:05, 25 December 2024 (UTC)

I have clarified the reason why the file qualifies for non-free use in the Purpose section of the Summary. I have also added to Library system section to better tie to the graphic.

It far better illustrates the section than the previous glamour shot of the Boston Public Library's reading room while a free file, had nothing to do with topic. Myotus (talk) 22:34, 26 December 2024 (UTC)

Query about Minnesota Misplaced Pages Day meetup

I'll be attending the Toronto Misplaced Pages Day meetup this coming weekend, and we are noticing a LOT of newly created accounts signing up for this. I see that the signup list for the Minnesota event similarly had a lot of new accounts signed up. Did many of them come? Just trying to gauge whether we should make a point of focusing on new editor stuff, or whether there was something of a prank happening here. Risker (talk) 02:54, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

It's not a prank, we've been using the m:CentralNotice banner, in this case coordinated with Wikimedia Canada. A similar thing was done for last year's events. Expect some but obviously not all of the newbies to attend, and Happy Misplaced Pages Day! Pharos (talk) 15:30, 13 January 2025 (UTC)

• My goodness! It serves me right for going into semi-Wikiretirement. I missed the event by a hair! I hope it was well attended and happy Misplaced Pages Day! -- Dolotta (talk) 01:47, 16 January 2025 (UTC)
