Wikis Take Manhattan

Translate this post

Hi all,
I wanted to give our New York City Wikimedians a heads up for the following event, Wikis Take Manhattan, a scavenger hunt and free content photography contest aimed at illustrating Wikipedia and StreetsWiki articles covering sites and street features in Manhattan and across the five boroughs of New York City. The event is based on last year’s hugely successful Wikipedia Takes Manhattan, and the event organizers have evolved it to include StreetsWiki this year.
Participants begin the hunt from one of two locations: Columbia University (at the sundial on college walk) and one at The Open Planning Project’s West Village office:
349 W. 12th St. #3
Between Greenwich & Washington Streets
By the 14th St./8th Ave. ACE/L stop
Cary Bass,
Volunteer Coordinator

Don’t forget the grand prize – dinner for three with Jimmy Wales, founder of Wikipedia, at Pure Food and Wine. There’ll also be gift certificates to Bicycle Habitat and the LimeWire Store, and more!

Just to make clear to everyone, you can compete together in teams of up to three, but please only one camera and memory card per team (no special knowledge is required at all, just a digital camera and a love of the city).
Check-in is at 1:00 PM, and we’ll return later for the uploading party at 6:30 PM.
If you want to see which of your fellow Wikipedians/Wikimedians are coming, check out:

I have had ecthyma for over two years and have gone to three different doctors that really don’t know what I have. I accidently found this web site by putting the name of the medication that has helped me with the symptoms that I have been experiencing. I had put in the word impetago on your web site previously but it did not list ecthyma as a possible answer when I did. When I put in amox clav the site lists impetigo – impetigo contagiosa – then it lists Ecthyma, if impetigo had listed various stages of this disease ,… Read more »
