Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Wikipedia Day 2025

Wikipedia Day NYC is planned for Saturday Jan 25, 2025, hosted by Wikimedia NYC at the Brooklyn Public Library's central branch. Come celebrate Wikipedia Day!

Sign up on the Eventbrite: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikipedia-day-nyc-2025-tickets-1118167742819 (The optional Eventbrite is sold out due to 1000+ RSVPs. If you are a WMNYC chapter member or dedicated Wikimedian, and did not get to RSVP, don't be deterred by the Sold Out notice)^[discuss]

The special focus this year will be the launch of our "400 Neighborhoods" campaign for the city's 400th anniversary and WikiProject New York City/400 Task Force.

All attendees are subject to Wikimedia NYC's Code of Conduct and Photography Policy.

Can't make it in person? Join our livestream of the presentations in the Dweck Cultural Center from 3pm to 4:30pm.

For events in other cities (including Chicago, Seattle, and San Francisco), see Wikipedia:Wikipedia Day § Wikipedia Day 2025.

(schedule is tentative, check back for updates)

Several partner tables and interactive exhibits will give perspective on how the "wiki way" intersects with the New York City street grid.

Partner tables:

• AfroCrowd: African diaspora wiki group
• Wikitongues: Languages wiki group
• BetaNYC: New York City open data group
• Cybernetics Library: Collection at Prime Produce
• Farming Concrete: Community gardens in New York City group

Exhibits:

• Open Boro Map, with several geographic data sets
• WikiProject New York City recognized content, including the Epicgenius tour
• Wiki-Photography including Commons:Category:Open House New York and image upload station
• WikiWrong neighborhood suggestion box + edit-a-thon table
• Wikimedia Space learning banners around the space
• Print Wikipedia select volume

3-5 minute lightning talks are listed here! Lightning talks may cover a wide range of topics related to Wikipedia, Wikimedia, and the larger free culture movement, although we ask that lightning talks aren't used to promote or sell products and services. We have space on the schedule for ~5 lightning talks each in the Lightning Talks A and Lightning Talks B timeslots. Topics may be subject to review by event volunteers, so signing up here doesn't guarantee you'll go on.

We are no longer accepting new lightning talk submissions on-wiki, though event organizers may make some adjustments or additions based on other communications.
