Hello, Columbiabotany and thank you for your contributions on
plant- or
botany-related articles. I'd like to invite you to become a part of WikiProject Plants, a

Hi, and welcome to
WikiProject Plants! Our scope includes any and all taxa of plants, botanists, and botany topics. We're glad to have you working with us on our project!
A few features that you might find helpful:
Our
navigation box points to most of the useful pages within the project.
Images: There are
articles that need images. You can search
Wikimedia Commons for images. When you find one, add it to the Wikipedia article in the taxobox and remove the "needs-photo=yes" parameter from the
project banner on the talk page of the article. You could also help
identify plant photos on Commons.
Taxobox: We also have
articles that need taxoboxes. See
the taxobox usage guide for information on how to add a taxobox. When complete, don't forget to remove the "needs-taxobox=yes" parameter from the talk page banner.
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page or the project at
Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Plants. Again, welcome! We look forward to seeing you around!

Hi! I'm serving as the wikipedian-in-residence at the
Smithsonian Institution Archives until June! One of my goals as resident, is to work with Wikipedians and staff to improve content on Wikipedia about people who have collections held in the Archives - most of these are scientists who held roles within the Smithsonian and/or federal government. I thought you might like to participate since you are interested in the sciences! Sign up to participate
here and dive into articles needing expansion and creation on our
to-do list. Feel free to make a request for images or materials at the
request page, and of course, if you share your successes at the
outcomes page you will receive the SIA barnstar! Thanks for your interest, and I look forward to your participation!

This is somewhat of a sequel to last year's
Wikipedia:Meetup/NYC/Brunch in terms of the participants, though this time it is an evening event in a different borough.
We may leaven the event with a few impromptu
lightning talks, a Wiki-fashion show (yes, really!), and likely an afterparty tour.
