what I'm a seattle local, but a brand new wikipedian local, what happens at these events? -Dankopedia

Hi @Dankopedia, and welcome to Wikipedia! Please remember to sign your comments with four tildes (~). Typically we chat about articles or other projects we're currently working on Wikipedia, or upcoming things we hope to do here! Sometimes there's a lot of small talk or discussion of Seattle area-related events or topics, like local transit. Most people bring laptops to work on articles/etc but it's not required. The cafe the meetup happens in has both drinks and snacks. Sarsenet (talk) 09:07, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We will meet at the Little Oddfellows café inside of Elliott Bay Book Company at 1521 10th Avenue, Seattle, WA 98122 in Capitol Hill, 47°40′31″N 122°19′03″W / 47.67514°N 122.3176°W / 47.67514; -122.3176, Official website.

The First Hill Streetcar & the 2, 11, 49, & 60 busses all travel within 1½ blocks of Elliott Bay Book Company.

TRANSIT ALERT: Attendees accessing Capitol Hill station via the 1 Line from the south will likely need to transfer at Stadium station and/or at Westlake station due to rail repairs by Sound Transit south of International District/Chinatown station, with trains running on single-rail trackage every 25–30 minutes between the former two stations; trains outside that segment run every 12 minutes or so. Anyone at Stadium station that wants to avoid the light rail transfer should consider taking bus routes 101 or 150 into the downtown "retail core" to transfer onto routes 2, 10, or 12; alternatively, riders could take routes 101 or 150 to access the First Hill Streetcar at 5th & Jackson (next to the International District/Chinatown station). More info on the disruption and alternate routes is available via Sound Transit's website; a map of local bus routes around downtown and the bookstore is located here.

Agenda

Picking a date for the Seattle Wiknic--Proposed: August 9th
Picking a date for a general membership meeting--Proposed: June 14th

@Jmabel and Llywrch: I should have pinged you long ago. Are you okay with a 2025-06-14 meeting at 1pm? Peaceray (talk) 16:15, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Peaceray: 14 June is the Short-fingered Convicted Felon's birthday. Indivisble & 50-50-1 are planning nationwide protests against his incipient dictatorship that day; any other event that day might not attract as many people as we would want. (I was planning on joining the protests, hopefully with my entire family.) -- llywrch (talk) 17:26, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Llywrch, good point! @Jmabel, SounderBruce, and CascadeUrbanite: do you think we can do Sun, 15 Jun 2025 instead? Peaceray (talk) 20:52, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I share Llywrch's reservation about that particular date, but would attend if that is the only time we can do it. [The 15th would be better. - Jmabel | Talk 00:27, 14 May 2025 (UTC)][reply]

By the way, I don't maintain a watchlist on en-wiki, so I don't reliably see announcements that are only on this page in a timely manner unless I'm pinged. (I didn't know about this April 22 meeting.) Is there any way you could also announce these via email, or that I could get pinged? Thanks. - Jmabel | Talk 20:46, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm fine with moving it to June 15. I do have plans to go watch a soccer game later in the evening, so as long as we're wrapped up well before 5 pm I should be fine. Sounder Bruce 20:56, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello guys, it was so great meeting you all, and thank you so much for the warm welcome! :D As I mentioned at the end of the meetup, I would really appreciate it if you could participate in my study. If you're interested, please fill out this short Google survey (If you prefer not to use Google, feel free to let me know!) See you again! :) Cho1994 (talk) 05:35, 16 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I have worked on all the Seattle politicians' pages that are up for election this year and brought them to what I feel is a good place. There are already a ton of people looking at them since my edits, which is great because we love voters taking the initiative to inform themselves. Would you all mind taking a look at them to ensure they are good, since ballots will have dropped by the 15th? Thanks.--Bpuddin (talk) 03:33, 3 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Directions
The nearest bus stops on 24th Avenue East at McGraw Street are a 15-minute walk (0.6 miles) away; a portion of the walking route is unpaved, but there are paved alternatives that take longer. These bus stops are served by King County Metro route 48, which runs every 15 minutes from two light rail stations on the 1 Line: University of Washington and Mount Baker.

For those who need to drive, we encourage car pooling and parking in the lots along E. Foster Island Rd and Broadmoor Dr E. The intersection of these two is at 47°38′28″N 122°17′35″W / 47.6410802°N 122.2930996°W / 47.6410802; -122.2930996. These lots are less than a half mile walk to the site.

Due to concerns about impacting the use of the visitor center parking lot, we ask that only people with disabilities and ambulatory issues park there.

This is not an endorsement by the Seattle Meetup but rather an FYI for those who may be interested. Jimmy Wales, the co-founder of Wikipedia, is on a book tour for his new book The Seven Rules of Trust: A Blueprint for Building Things That Last. It is about the lessons learned during the early days of Wikipedia and during the subsequent cultural development. It will occur at The The Wyncote NW Forum and is being arranged by Town Hall Seattle. One can find more at: "Jimmy Wales with Mónica Guzmán". Town Hall Seattle. 2025-10-16. Retrieved 2025-10-25..

--Guylaen (talk) 17:03, 4 August 2024 (UTC) I'm confused how the system knew that I was within driving distance, and I'm joyed to see that this event is happening - but since I had to focus on my degree last month, I just don't have any gas money, so I can't make it over the pass.[reply]

--Guylaen (talk) 01:54, 8 August 2024 (UTC) To amend my above - looks like I'll be in Portland for the launch of my friend's city council campaign on the 10th, and if I can find a place in Portland to crash, I can swing by Seattle on my way back to Ellensburg on the 11th. But I had to borrow money for gas, so I won't be bringing any food if I do come.[reply]

I tried to get a feel for the area with a satellite view and "street view" on the many paths, but I wasn't seeing picnic tables in that area. Can you give explicit walking directions from parking and from bus? How far a walk is it from those places? (I have some mobility issues.) 63.231.48.44 (talk) 16:25, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Please use the coordinate links at the top of this Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle/Wiknic/2024 page. Peaceray (talk) 16:48, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

But basically you can park near the Arboretum Foundation building near the north end of the Arboretum, and then walk south on the now-pedestrianized East Arboretum Trail about 200-250 yards. By bus is actually a bit tricky, because the bus doesn't get any closer than 24th Ave E, and the paths through the park aren't too conducive to walking east-west. The best bet is to bus to 24th & McGraw (#43, #48), walk east on E Lynn, cross Arboretum Drive E on the Arboretum Sewer Trestle (a.k.a. Arboretum Aqueduct), keep going east to the area of the Arboretum Foundation building, then turn right (south) along the East Arboretum Trail.

We appreciate your interest in our beautiful Arboretum and your efforts to bring the community together.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us preserve the beauty and tranquility of the WA Park Arboretum.

Art+Feminism, Saturday, April 6th, 1-5pm

[edit]

Wikipedia’s gender trouble is well-documented. In a 2011 survey, the Wikimedia Foundation found that less than 10% of its contributors were women. While the reasons for the gender gap are up for debate, the practical effect of this disparity is not: content is skewed by the lack of representation from women.

Let’s change that.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is continuing a series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn and gender non-binary artists of color.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.

Wikipedia Day 2019 — curating images from Asahel Curtis and older Seattle photos

47°40′33″N 122°19′04″W / 47.67576°N 122.3177°W / 47.67576; -122.3177 (Wayward Coffeehouse)

Wikipedia Day celebrates the anniversary of the founding of Wikipedia. This year in Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians' celebration of Wikipedia Day will focus on a different closely related project: Wikimedia Commons, which (among other things) functions as the media repository for Wikipedia. When you see a photo or map in Wikipedia, or hear an audio clip, etc., it usually is hosted on Wikimedia Commons and "transcluded" into Wikipedia.

Wikimedia Commons is a mix of users' own works and curated third-party content, either public domain or free-licensed. Our event is a hands-on workshop in curating third-party content, mostly early 20th-century photos of Seattle and other West Coast locations.

Currently, Wikimedia Commons has two intersecting sets of older photos, one from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company and the other a more general set of Seattle images. At this meetup, we will celebrate the 18th anniversary of Wikipedia by further curating these images by the creation and addition of categories, adding ImageNotes where useful, linking other versions of the same photo, enhancing the descriptions, and identifying and correcting errors. User:Jmabel has already categorized over 1000 images and corrected several hundred wrong dates, misidentified buildings, etc., but there is much more to be done.

For instance,

File:E F Blaine residence, 40th Ave E and E John St, Seattle (CURTIS 961).jpeg: a 1910 photo of the house now best known as where Kurt Cobain lived at the end of his life, and where he killed himself. Unsurprisingly, the curator at the UW Libraries Special Collections either was unaware of that connection or didn't choose to note it.
File:1st_Ave_from_Columbia_St_looking_south,_Seattle,_ca_1903_(CURTIS_2060).jpeg: a good example of a file to which we were able to add a ton of useful categories, ImageNotes, etc. (click through to see those).
File:Asahel Curtis panorama of First Hill, Seattle, c. 1903, showing intersection of Columbia St and Summit Ave, Seattle.jpeg: a panorama built from three Asahel Curtis photographs.

Many of the photos that still need work are in commons:Category:Seattle or commons:Category:Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition and properly belong in subcategories. Others are in maintenance categories such as commons:Category:Images from the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific Exposition Collection to check or commons:Category:Images from the Asahel Curtis Photo Company Photographs Collection to check. There are probably many other images that need similar work, but these are a few obvious places to look. Also, in a few cases, Curtis or someone else in that era may have shot images that constitute a panorama, but no one has ever "stitched" them together into a unified image and uploaded it.

If you have been editing Wikipedia and are curious about what you could do within Wikimedia Commons besides just take photos and upload them, this would be an excellent place to start!

Art+Feminism, Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm

[edit]

Wikipedia is one of the most wide-reaching repositories of shared knowledge yet a 2011 survey found that less than 10% of its contributors identify as female, suggesting an alarming absence of voices. What and how information is shared is skewed by this gender disparity. To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-thons to improve Wikipedia's coverage of womxn artists of color.

This Saturday afternoon's gathering will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for womxn artists from Latin America and the Caribbean. The Edit-a-thon will feature a talk by Dan Paz, Lecturer in the UW School of Art + Art History + Design.

Childcare, snacks from local businesses, and editing tutorials will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, power cord, and ideas. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Everyone is welcome. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affiliated participants.

Dan Paz is an artist and educator who explores the labor of digital imaging production as a collaborative site where the intersections of the image-idea and lived experience are produced and contested. Through videos, photography, and sculptural projects that query the ability of documentary processes to be manipulated—to be multiplied and replicated, stopped and started, rewound and advanced—Dan works within the impossibilities of absolute replication to question the very ability of the image to truly represent.

Check the Facebook event page for updates.

When: Saturday, May 12th, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, Washington 98105
Who: Everyone is welcome.
What to bring: A laptop and power cord. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affliated participants.

To help change this, the Jacob Lawrence Gallery is organizing a quarterly series of Edit-a-Thons to improve Wikipedia’s coverage of womxn artists.

This Edit-a-thon will focus on creating, editing, updating, and expanding pages for queer and womxn artists of color.

Snacks from POC owned local businesses, childcare, reference materials, and editing tutorials and assistance will be provided.

All you need to bring is your laptop, powercord and ideas for entries that need editing, updating, and/or creating. No previous Wikipedia experience required!

Check the Facebook event page for updates.

When: Saturday, February 24th, 1-5pm
Where: Jacob Lawrence Gallery, Art Building #132, 1915 NE Chelan Ln, Seattle, Washington 98105
Who: Everyone is welcome.
What to bring: A laptop and power cord. Access to UW wifi will be provided for non-UW affliated participants.

Memorial Day 2016

[edit]

There will be a Wikimedians hike at Evans Creek Preserve (see www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/evans-creek-preserve. We meet at the *old* trailhead at 12 PM. Please bring cameras and/or tools suitable for taking notes (smartphone, tablet, or pencil and paper notepad). The reports are that there is plenty of wildlife. (You might want to bring bear spray just in case we encounter a bear.) The current weather forecast is for partial sun in the afternoon

There will likely be a break between the hike and the evening meeting.

At 6 PM, we will have our monthly meetup. We'll meet this time at the Redmond Town Center Starbucks. We can choose a place to eat after we all find each other. Agenda items include documenting the hike, upcoming GLAM and diversity conferences, WikiConference USA in San Diego, Wiknic planning, and a brief update about our 501(c)(3) and plans for the rest of 2016. There *may* be an announcement with news from WMF (I'm waiting to hear back follow up from an initial email.) There will likely be time for additional agenda items and open discussion.

Notes

I am glad Lane mentioned Boot Camp. I was going to mention this here or via email, too. I was able to attend this weekend activity back in 2013 and 1) found it to be very informational 2) met some fantastic, like-minded, enthusiastic Wikimedians, new and experienced, and 3) had a really great time. It would be great if someone else from Cascadia who is interested in collaborating with cultural institutions to attend this event. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:39, 2 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

There has been a lot of talk in the Wikipedia community about producing more video. I have a friend in Seattle who is a videographer and amateur filmmaker. She is planning to attend this meetup and bring her camera. Could one of you, any of you, all of you be prepared to give a short presentation on anything Wikipedia related so that she can record you? I am floating the idea that a videographer would be useful to have at Wikipedia events, both to capture presentations by scheduled speakers and also to give any Wikipedian the opportunity to present in a video. If anyone would be willing to be recorded then I would appreciate it. Perhaps plan to speak for 3 minutes explaining any Wikipedia topic when you are in a corner of Allegro and the camera is stationary on you. In the longer term, I am hoping that there can be assistance in helping Wikipedians film video with slidesets, as here. Thanks. Blue Rasberry (talk) 20:44, 5 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Spring 2015 UW Community Data Science Workshops - register by April 3rd!

[edit]

Hi Cascadians! There will be another set of Community Data Science Workshops at UW starting on April 10th. Details here. Apply by April 3rd for best consideration. The series consists of one Friday evening and three saturday sessions. It is free and open to the public, and lunch is included! You don't need to know anything about programming or data science to participate. If you do already know a little Python, please consider registering as a mentor—these workshops require a lot of individual mentorship to work, and it's a lot of fun (and you might still learn something!). Ping me if you have any questions. Also: could someone post this annoucement to Cascadia.wiki? I don't have an account there yet. Cheers, - J-Mo ^{Talk to Me} _{Email Me} 21:47, 25 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Are these Seattle meetup pages archived? If not, they probably should, especially if they are related to the Cascadia user group. I know we will discuss the website this evening, but I wonder if we might also want to have a designated page here at English Wikipedia for Cascadia-related notes, meetups, activities, etc. Of course, already have the Meta-Wiki page, so that may be overkill. I imagine most of our activities will take place here, though. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:00, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I went ahead and created Wikipedia:Cascadia Wikimedians User Group, which essentially serves as a redirect to the Meta-Wiki page until we decide where we want to discuss most of our activities. No problem if we decide to delete, modify, or use the page. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:10, 13 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

2014 Seattle meetups

[edit]

2014 Seattle meetups

Monthly meeting December 2014

[edit]

The December 2014 meetup is a joint holiday event with Seattle TA3M and the Seattle Privacy Coalition. It will feature lightning talks and an extended discussion of Wikimedia's interoperability with Tor. Information is available on the Cascadia Wikimedians public mailing list.

Event report

The signup spreadsheet had 30 unique registrations after removing one person who backed out and two duplicate entries, and I counted about 30 people present at the event.

Affiliations noted on the signup spreadsheet include TA3M Seattle, Cascadia Wikimedians User Group, the University of Washington, Seattle Privacy Coalition, and SURF Incubator.

We had six speakers. The presentations were about the following subjects:

Overview of Surf Incubator
Firmware manifesto to OEMs
Privacy and Wikipedia Zero
Ricochet instant messaging software
Lightning photography with free software
Overview of the Seattle Privacy Coalition

We had a roundtable discussion about editing Wikipedia through Tor and open proxies.

We had more pizza than we needed (:

Anecdotal reports are that the venue was good, the food was good, the presentations were good, and the networking was good.

The suggestion has been made that we hold a similar event in December of next year.

I'm helping Benjamin_Mako_Hill with a series of programming workshops at UW, focused on learning how to use data science tools & methods to explore large public datasets. Because we are who we are, we'll be working with a lot of Wikipedia data. The workshops will take place on three saturdays between April and May. Participation is free and open to the public. You don't have to have any experience with programming, science, etc. to participate—that's kind of the point, in fact. Signup instructions are on the website! Ping me or Mako if you have questions.

Wikiconference USA 2014

[edit]

Hello! In New York City Friday 30 May - Sunday 1 June Wikiconference USA will be held as a national United States Wikipedia meetup hosted by Wikimedia New York City and Wikimedia DC. All are welcome to attend. Scholarship applications to cover travel expenses are accepted until the end of March and presentation submissions are requested until that time but can be accepted until closer to the conference.

In previous years New York City conferences have gathered 150 attendees. At this conference we are hoping for more people to attend.

It would be nice if participants and supporters of the Seattle meetup could attend. Anyone with questions may contact me or any of the other organizers, or post on the conference website. Blue Rasberry (talk) 22:02, 12 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Wikimedia Research & Data Hackathon, November 9th, 2013

[edit]

Hi all! First off, it was great to meet you today and/or see you again. I'm thrilled that my first Seattle Meetup was so well-attended and interesting.

I mentioned during the event that I'm coordinating the Seattle Research & Data Hackathon on Saturday, November 9th. This inaugural research hackathon will be a relatively informal event: there's a broad proposed agenda here, but we can really make the day whatever we want. Probably topics of conversation/collaboration include:

research tools and datasets (and how to use them)
burning research questions (and how to ask and answer them)
ongoing research projects (and how to get involved)
new research projects (...you get the idea).

The hackathon is for both interested local Wikipedians and students and researchers from UW. The event will be held semi-concurrently with other hackathons in Minnesota, San Francisco, the UK, and elsewhere, hosted by WMF researchers and Wikipedians from around the world. There will be open IRC channels and Google Hangouts throughout the day so that we can share ideas and even collaborate with the other sites and with Wikipedians who don't have a hackathon in their area.

Afterwards, I'd be happy to re-convene somewhere on the Ave for food and drink. Please sign up, spread the word, and let me know if you have any questions!

I look forward to seeing you at next months' meetup if not sooner. Cheers, - J-Mo ^{Talk to Me} _{Email Me} 05:24, 9 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I just posted a bunch more information about the hackathon next Saturday here. Hope to see you there! Ping me if you have any questions. Cheers, - J-Mo ^{Talk to Me} _{Email Me} 03:56, 4 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Disorganization:

Well, I was at Allegro. They said whoever had the upstairs reserved had cancelled. I went up anyway and there was a hip-hop group, who said they had the room reserved. If there are Wikipedians here, damn if I know who they are/were. What a waste of time. Yworo (talk) 03:26, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to hear - I think Dennis was probably the guy singing hip-hop. Anyway, I messaged you on your talk page. Let's talk about Seattle Wikipedia stuff some time. Blue Rasberry (talk) 21:33, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I did finally connect with them shortly before the meeting broke up. They weren't upstairs and weren't obviously all on Wikipedia, so I didn't know how to identify them. Yworo (talk) 22:54, 6 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia Loves Libraries - October 2011

[edit]

Wikipedia:Meetup/seattleWLL

Tuesday October 25, 7-9pm Allegro Coffee in University District

A Google map of Allegro Coffee is here.

Wikipedia is encouraging local communities to organize Wikipedia Loves Libraries events this October. The primary topic for discussion is creating or improving the Wikipedia articles about local library resources so that researchers can use Wikipedia as a tool by means through which they can find reference materials.

Seventh meetup

[edit]

Saturday, June 25, 2011 - Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle7

You ought to be outside picnicking anyway, so why not go to a place with other Wikipedians doing the same thing? Wikipedia is promoting June 25 as an international Wikipedia picnic day, the Wikipedia:Wiknic!

Reddit, another popular information website, has an active Seattle community which was already organizing a picnic at Golden Gardens Park on this day. Their organizers have asked Wikipedians to join in and share common interests in information sharing, the beach, and barbecue.

The link to the Reddit picnic can be found here. Please join!

Sixth meetup

[edit]

Sessions: April 8 and April 18, 2009 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle6 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Note that this is to gather Wikipedians, but not in the traditional style of a meetup. Our research group, from the University of Washington (Seattle campus), is looking for user input to help design an application that will eventually be released to the Wikipedia community. Please see Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle6 for more information.

Fifth meetup

[edit]

tentative: June 19, 2008 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle5 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Still in the planning phases. Some researchers at the University of Washington have expressed interest in helping organize this meetup.

Fourth meetup

[edit]

September 9, 2006. See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle4 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Topics of conversation included:

Linkspam, paid editing, and public relations flacks. There was a general sense the Wikipedia is attempting a "Just Say No" policy and that, like the U.S. government War on Drugs, it isn't working.
A broad conversation about original research, Verifiability, intellectual honesty as the "missing pillar", overcitation, civility and admin behavior (including "Jimbo dropping in out of the blue to ban somebody"), the "gap between written and actual policy".
Further work on articles about the Pacific Northwest.

Third meetup

[edit]

14 January 2006 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle3 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Topics of conversation included:

Librarian and library sciences attitudes toward Wikipedia
A suggestion that we should supplement Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia with some more related project pages:
1. Wikipedia:How a Wikipedia article is built, which would explain the various mechanisms that facilitate collaboration and the policies (No original research, Verifiability, etc.) that support reliable content.
2. Wikipedia:How to read an article history, about what to look at in an article history to help evaluate an article.
3. Wikipedia:A researcher's guide to discussion pages: how to read discussion pages as part of determining reliability, and how to use them if you have doubts.
Contrasts to Encarta
Stable versions, semi-protection, etc.
Original research, verifiability and all that, especially the original intent of the policy against original research.

Second meetup

[edit]

15 January 2005 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle2 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

Topics of conversation included:

Wikipedia Signpost, Wikipedia's new internal newspaper, started by Michael Snow.
SeattleWiki [1], started by Matiasp.
Possible contact with small, local history museums; DanKeshet and Jmabel followed up to the point of writing Wikipedia:Museum projects, though there has not yet been systematic outreach.
Whether some (maybe 1%?) of articles are either sufficiently controversial or sufficient "vandal magnets" that our normal, open way of free-for-all editing may just not work for these; suggestion of starting dialogue on alternatives. Jmabel will probably try to start discussion on this.
Larry Sanger's recent criticisms of Wikipedia, and the issues of elitism/anti-elitism
... and we pretty much all seem to think Seattle is ready to be a featured article.

First meetup

[edit]

6 November 2004 See Wikipedia:Meetup/Seattle1 for a more detailed account of this meetup.

The first Seattle Meetup took place Saturday, 6 November 2004 at the Seattle Central Library and was a great success. Decumanus says it was "fantastic". Participants came from a geographic area ranging from Portland, Oregon to Vancouver, British Columbia.

Topics of discussion included:

How to get librarians to understand Wikipedia so they might consider it worthy of being an authorative source. (Within days after the meeting, this led to a pretty good start on a document at Wikipedia:Researching with Wikipedia.)
Licensing issues
Possible software changes that might allow POV-type overlays
Wikipedia war stories about POV warriors, trolls, etc.
BryceHarrington regaled us with tales of the wild and wooly early days of GNUPedia and Nupedia, and how he made the leap to Wikipedia.
User:Jwrosenzweig earned our sympathy with his stories about being on the arbitration committee, a thankless task for which none of us seemed to envy him.
We came to a quasi-agreement, mostly through a nodding of heads, that a system of committees that might judge the worthiness of questionable content (rather than just violation of Wikipedia rules per se), might save everyone lots of pain and heartache. As of November 12, however, no one has begun fleshing this into a concrete proposal.

After initially gathering at the coffee cart we moved to the 10th floor, under the slanted roof designed by Rem Koolhaas We also tried our hands at Michael Snow's Wikipedia quiz.

At six o'clock most of us adjourned to have dinner in Seattle's International District, at a Chinese restaurant, Hing Loon.

First meetup, introductions at the Coffee Cart: from left, Jordan, DanKeshet, Llywrch, Eclecticology, Michael Snow, Jwrosenzweig, and Jmabel.
First meetup, on the Tenth floor: Llywrch, a friend of Bryce's, BryceHarrington, and Eclecticology
Third meetup, clockwise: Katy (in red scarf), Jmabel, GTBacchus, DVD_R_W, JFPerry, WAvegetarian, Bumm13, Brassratgirl, The Rod, Michael Snow, Ksnow, SchmuckyTheCat (behind the snows), Eclecticology, Shawn. Also present, llywrch, joshuadfranklin, and at least one person who didn't sign in.
