    Tip of the day...
    Join the Recent Changes Patrol

    One way that many users like to contribute to Wikipedia is by patrolling recent changes (RCP) for vandalism or other common problems.

    While this task can be done with a variety of tools it is as simple as looking over the Recent changes link (in your navigation box on the left side of your browser window).

    Subsets of Recent Changes Patrol include New Page Patrol and Newimages.

    To add this auto-updating template to your user page, use {{totd3}}

    August 24: Wiknic @ Roosevelt Island
    2019 Wiknic group photo, last time we held it on Roosevelt Island

    You are invited to the picnic anyone can edit on Roosevelt Island, at Southpoint Park.

    Following up on this month's Wikimania in Poland, this Wiknic will have as guest of honor User:DerHexer, the 2024 Wikimedia Laureate of the Year, marking his triumphant North American tour!

    Bring a picnic blanket and some potluck, as well as some sunscreen! We'll also provide a little something for everyone, but we encourage you to bring your own favorite dishes to share, especially for those food cultural topics you would like to improve on Wikipedia.

    We'll also do a portal thing for a bit with West Coast friends at the WikiLA ocean life edit-a-thon.

    All are welcome, new and experienced!

    Saturday, August 24, 2024 NYC Wiknic @ Roosevelt Island (RSVP on-wiki)

    • Time: 2:00 - 7:00 pm (come by any time!)
    • Salon-style Discussions: 3:00 pm - 3:30 pm (session A) 5:00 pm - 5:30 pm (session B)
    • Location: Roosevelt Island (Southpoint Park, look for our Wikipedia/Wikimedia NYC banner).

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