SUMMARY:Wikimedia Commons Photography (and Contest!) with Ryan McGrady
DESCRIPTION:Location: Info Commons of Main Branch of Brooklyn Public Library** \nWhen you type the name of a bird into a search engine\, one of the first links that inevitably pops up is Wikipedia. If you search for images of that bird\, one of the first you’ll see is likewise from Wikipedia. Even images used elsewhere on the web may have originated on Wikipedia’s sister site\, Wikimedia Commons\, which is the world’s largest free media repository. Wikipedia is where a large part of the public learns about birds\, biology\, wildlife refuges\, wildlife conservation\, and ecology. This month we’ll talk about how easy it is to help improve the quality of that information. You’ll learn more about the inner workings of a resource you probably use all the time\, as well as how you can help out if you so choose. We’ll pay particular attention to contributing photos in anticipation of a photo contest hosted by the Brooklyn Bird Club and Wikimedia New York City. \nRyan McGrady a digital media researcher who volunteers on the board of directors of Wikimedia New York City\, a nonprofit which connects the people and institutions of New York with Wikipedia and the broader free knowledge ecosystem. He has been researching\, teaching about\, and/or managing programs at the intersection of Wikipedia and education since 2007. He began taking pictures to illustrate Wikipedia articles around 2013\, and when a casual interest in birds turned into a minor obsession during the pandemic\, it was a natural fit. \nTickets must be reserved in advance as the Information Commons Space is restricted to 55 people total. You will not be admitted without a reserved ticket. Please only reserve tickets if you plan to attend\, if you can no longer attend\, please release your tickets so others have the opportunity. Reserve tickets here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/413803676937 \n*Please note our meeting time has changed! We will begin at 6:30pm sharp! \n**Please note this location is accessible with ramps and accessible doorways at its main entrance. \n
