This section discusses a collaborative project I'm undertaking with a group of students from IUPUI's Museum Studies program to think about the digital presence of public art collections. We are starting with making Wikipedia articles for every piece of outdoor sculpture on our campus. I am documenting the basics of this process using a blog located at http://publicartweb.tumblr.com.
Just FYI- I've been uploading all the IUPUI sculpture photos I have to Flickr, and there's a 100 MB photo limit per month. (i reached my limit already.) Kpetrole (talk) 18:11, 8 October 2009 (UTC)Kpetrole[reply]
That would be a great solution, but honestly, in the end I think it will not be necessary. I mean I've already uploaded about 50 pictures or so on a bunch of different sculptures, and if everyone uploads some more for their own sculptures, I doubt everyone will reach the limit. Meanwhile, I've been thinking that if by chance I have more pictures, I could email them to someone else in the class to upload for me, as a way to beat the Flickr system!

There's some pretty obscure public art out there that was created by neighborhood societies and the like; I remember getting off past my stop late one night on the north-bound 80 bus somewhere north of North Avenue but south of Silver Spring, and seeing a small WW1 monument that took up only slightly more space than a lightpole. I've never been able to find it again. --Orange Mike | Talk 01:39, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I watched your interview with interest on the Fox affiliate in Green Bay. Thank you for getting greater exposure to the general population! Let me know if you ever need photographs in parts of eastern Wisconsin which are north of Milwaukee. Royalbroil 03:08, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! I'm the Wikipedian In Residence at the Archives of American Art and I'm recruiting Wikipedians who are passionate about art and quality content to participate in furthering art coverage on Wikipedia. I am planning contests and projects that will allow you access, no matter where you live, to the world's largest collection of archives related to American art. Please sign up to participate here, and I look forward to working with you! SarahStierch (talk) 00:14, 13 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi! I just wanted to deliver a little news about the Archives of American Art partnership project! We have released our amazing barnstar to the world, learn how you can earn one here! We will be having a Backstage Pass tour later this month which will be announced this week, and an upcoming contest in which major contributors can win some amazing goodies from the Archives and Smithsonian, allowing for international involvement! Thanks again for your interest and I look forward to your continued participation in this ongoing project to better coverage on American art history on Wikipedia!

Hello! Are you still interested in becoming a Wikipedia Teaching Fellow for the Wikipedia in Higher Education program? Bob the WikipediaN(talk • contribs) 04:40, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, User:Bob the Wikipedian. Thanks for getting in touch! The various formal and informal roles within the "Wikipedia in Higher Education program" are a little confusing to me. Can you point me to resources to learn about the requirements and expectations for the Teaching Fellowship you mention? I initially listed myself on the Campus Ambassador page because I regularly use development of Wikipedia content in my teaching, and I actively consult with faculty throughout the U.S. on how to integrate the encyclopedia. I also wanted people on my campus to know that they could ask me for help, which has been effective. I would welcome the opportunity to do more, especially in a leadership capacity involving women contributors. Jgmikulay (talk) 13:33, 13 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I can point you toward outreach:Education, which is loaded with teaching resources for the program. Traditionally, one or two trained campus ambassadors will be assigned to assist you in teaching students to use Wikipedia and in helping you design a successful class project. As a regional ambassador, I'm responsible for making sure professors and campus ambassadors in the area meet up and get something planned. The project is integrated into your syllabus for the semester and usually takes the place of a term paper. I'd love to tell you more about our program; if you're still interested then shoot me an email at Special:EmailUser/Bob the Wikipedian and we can schedule a phone interview.

Hi. I have responded to a general message about Alverno College from Bob the Wikipedian, who has not yet responded to me.

hi, hope your ears weren't burning too bad. and hope you don't mind if i follow behind you, and cleanup some of the licenses. i have a little essay on this at User:Slowking4/Image Rescue Squadron. you have set a good example that folks are picking up, in Philadelphia, and Los Angeles. Slowking4⇔ †@1₭ 17:41, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I love the idea of an "image rescue squadron"--very clever, and necessary! I'll be working with a class of college photojournalism students in spring to reshoot and share in a more wiki-friendly way a lot of the Milwaukee sculptures that have improper licenses and uploads. Your experience will be a great resource to that effort. Jgmikulay (talk) 17:58, 23 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
yes, but i anticipate this being attacked as "inclusionist"; as seen in the examples, people persist in deletion, seeking one and then another reason to delete. as i was going along the Milwaukee list, i noticed there were ones with images deleted, and commons images that need to be migrated with "fair use" tag. the freedom of panorama makes me want to move to Amsterdam. the problem with ad hoc consensus here, is that no one wants to implement the housekeeping. btw, here's how i handled an address for a public work: Dickens and Little Nell (Elwell) (in the lede, but not infobox).

Wikipedia user has called for a ban on all moving images![edit]
Hi, Orange Mike. Thanks for letting me know about this. It seems that the concern is with animated GIFs rather than videos. One thing I really like about the way videos display in the encyclopedia is that they are still until activated by the user. Did you see one of the student videos featured on Media of the Day over the weekend? Pretty cool! Jgmikulay (talk) 21:52, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

At this point, I try to pattern my image uploads on files the bots, zealots, and wanna-be copyright lawyers have already meddled with/"fixed" so hopefully they'll be OK! <knock on wood> Jgmikulay (talk) 23:37, 30 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedian, the hardworking hosts and staff at WP:Teahouse would like your feedback!
We have created a brief survey intended to help us understand the experiences and impressions of veteran editors who have participated on the Teahouse. You are being selected to participate in our survey because you edited the Teahouse Questions or Guests pages some time during the last few months.
Hi! Welcome to the fourth issue of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter for the Teahouse!
Teahouse pilot wraps up after 13 weeks After being piloted on English Wikipedia starting in February, the Teahouse wrapped up its pilot period on May 27, 2012. We expect this is just the beginning for the Teahouse and hope the project will continue to grow in the months to come!
Thank you and congratulations to all of the community members who participated - and continue to participate!
What you've all been waiting for: Teahouse Pilot Report is released! We look forward to your feedback on the methodology and outcomes of this pilot project.
....and if a pilot report wasn't enough, the Teahouse Pilot Metrics Report is out too! Dive into the numbers and survey results to learn about the impact the Teahouse has made on English Wikipedia.
Teahouse shows positive impact on new editor retention and engagement
409 new editors participated during the entire pilot period, with about 40 new editors participating in the Teahouse per week.
Two weeks after participating, 33% of Teahouse guests are still active on Wikipedia, as opposed to 11% of a similar control group.
New editors who participated in the Teahouse edit 10x the number of articles, make 7x more global edits, and 2x as much of their content survives on Wikipedia compared to the control group.
Women participate in the Teahouse 28% of Teahouse participants were women, up from 9% of editors on Wikipedia in general, good news for this project which aimed to have impact on the gender gap too - but still lots to be done here!
New opportunities await for the Teahouse in phase two as the Teahouse team and Wikipedia community examine ways to improve, scale, and sustain the project. Opportunities for future work include:
Automating or semi-automating systems such as invites, metrics and archiving
Experimenting with more ways for new editors to discover the Teahouse
Building out the social and peer-to-peer aspects further, including exploring ways to make answering questions easier, creating more ways for new editors to help each other and for all participants to acknowledge each other's efforts
Growing volunteer capacity, continuing to transfer Teahouse administration tasks to volunteers whenever possible, and looking for new ways to make maintenance and participation easier for everyone.
Want to know how you can lend a hand at the Teahouse? Become a host! Learn more about what makes the Teahouse different than other help spaces on Wikipedia and see how you can help new editors by visiting here.
Say hello to the new guests at the Teahouse. Take the time to welcome and get to know the latest guests at the Teahouse. Drop off some wikilove to these editors today, as being welcomed by experienced editors is really encouraging to new Wikipedians.

on Public Art. I saw the date change and was just starting to look into it when real life intervened. When I got back to it I discovered that you had already done it. And speaking about public art, what do you know (or care?) about the architectural sculpture at Alverno College? (Yes, I peeked at your user page) Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 17:57, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome! I only know a little about the architectural sculpture at Alverno. I recently saw an exhibition of photographs from the college archives which included an image of Adolph Roegner installing the sculpture of St. Francis on the main building. I believe he also did the reliefs that are on the facade of the main building. Is there something specific you'd like me to look into for you? --Jgmikulay (talk) 18:50, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I have Corrado Parducci as being involved. That Adolph Roegner did the St. Francis is interesting - I wonder if he just carved it? I will look into my information and likely be in touch. I am working, on this project ( http://www.archsculptbooks.com/home.htm) and decided to include Alverno and want to get it right. Carptrash (talk) 15:44, 3 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmm... Parducci? I will send a message to the college archivist and see if she can verify that. I wish we could have bears on the building instead of religious figures! --Jgmikulay (talk) 15:42, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Well when you do talk to the archivist hell him/her that I will trade "proof" that Parducci did some of the work for a copy of the picture of Roegner. Carptrash (talk) 20:27, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea! I have a mesage in, but it's summer in academia so I hope you're a patient guy. It will be fun to figure this out. --Jgmikulay (talk) 20:30, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I was in Milwaukee in, i think 1990, when I learned about Roegner. Spent a very memorable few days tracking his work down. I visited Alverno in 2003 and took pictures of some of Parducci/Roegner's work then. I've been after Parducci since 1983 or so. I have corresponded with an archivist at Alverno ten years ago, but she (?) knew nothing about Parducci or Roegner. SO, time has no meaning. Carptrash (talk) 21:04, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
There is not yet, but ought to be, an article on the Iron Workers Memorial (that's the formal name, I understand) at Miller Park, to honor Jerome Starr, Jeffrey Wischer, and William DeGrave, the guys who died while building it (they were Iron Workers Local 8 members).
The coverage I can find is mostly about the disaster, of course, rather than the statue itself.
Yes, I agree. Believe it or not, I'm working on it. There are articles in the MJS, OnMilwaukee, the Daily Reporter, and Post-Crescent. The story of that sculpture is actually really interesting, and I promise you'll be able to read all about it on Wikipedia soon! --Jgmikulay (talk) 15:40, 5 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Stop by for a tasty glass of wiki-iced tea at the Teahouse, today!
Hi! Welcome to the fifth edition of The Tea Leaf, the official newsletter of the Teahouse!
Guest activity increased in July. Questions are up from an average of 36 per week in June to 43 per week in July, and guest profile creation has also increased. This is likely a result of the automatic invite experiments we started near the end of month, which seeks to lessen the burden on hosts and other volunteer who manually invite editors. During the last week of July, questions doubled in the Teahouse! (But don't let that deter you from inviting editors to the Teahouse, please, there are still lots of new editors who haven't found Teahouse yet.)
More Teahouse hosts than ever. We had 12 new hosts sign up to participate at the Teahouse! We now have 35 hosts volunteering at the Teahouse. Feel free to stop by and see them all here.
Phase two update: Host sprint. In August, the Teahouse team plans to improve the host experience by developing a simpler new-host creation process, a better way of surfacing active hosts, and a host lounge renovation. Take a look at the plan and weigh in here.
New Teahouse guest barnstar is awarded to first recipient: Charlie Inks. Using the Teahouse barnstar designed by Heatherawalls, hosts hajatvrc and Ryan Vesey created the new Teahouse Guest Barnstar. The first recipient is Charlie Inks, for her boldness in asking questions at the Teahouse. Check out the award in action here.
Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania! The Teahouse was a hot topic at Wikimania this past month, where editor retention and interface design was heavily discussed. Sarah and Jonathan presented the Teahouse during the Wikimedia Fellowships panel. Slides can be viewed here. A lunch was also held at Wikimania for Teahouse hosts.
As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mr. Vernon (talk) 02:33, 10 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Teahouse serves over 700 new editors in six months on Wikipedia! Since February 27, 741 new editors have participated at the Teahouse. The Q&A board and the guest intro pages are more active than ever.
Automatic invites are doing the trick: 50% more new editors visiting each week. Ever since HostBot's automated invite trial phase began we've seen a boost in new editor participation. Automating a baseline set of invitations also allows Teahouse hosts to focus on serving hot cups of help to guests, instead of spending countless hours inviting.
Guests to the Teahouse continue to edit more & interact more with other community members than non-Teahouse guests according to six month metrics. Teahouse guests make more than twice the article edits and edit more talk pages than other new editors.
New host process implemented which encourages anyone to get started as a Teahouse host in a few easy steps. Stop by the hosts page and become a Teahouse host today!
Host lounge renovations nearing completion. Working closely with Teahouse hosts, we've made some major renovations to the Teahouse Host Lounge - the main hangout and resource space for hosts. Learn more about the improvements here.
As always, thanks for supporting the Teahouse project! Stop by and visit us today!

Hi Jgmikulay! Thank you for signing up to be a founding volunteer of the WikiWomen's Collaborative. I've started to draft ideas for blogs on meta, here! Feel free to chime in, and let's get this blogging party started! :) SarahStierch (talk) 00:06, 12 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Orphaned non-free media (File:Spirit of commerce.jpg)[edit]
Thanks for uploading File:Spirit of commerce.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Ignore the majority of the discussion at this point, but, the last few paragraphs we're talking about renaming The Elephant House to it's sculpture title. Thoughts on naming conventions would be deeply appreciated. SarahStierch (talk) 21:00, 11 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
hey... I saw your input in the Ed Program discussion where you mention that you have students create video for Wikipedia articles. I work with Wikipedia at my school too. Im an English teacher but my school is a technological college and Ive been looking for ways to projects other than the straight up writing of articles. Also... I edit the wiki version of the Wikipedia Education newsletter. October just came out today [2] Maybe I can also talk you into writing a short article about your projects as well??? Feel free to contact me by email thelmadatter at hotmail dot com Thelmadatter (talk) 16:52, 15 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for sharing information about your work. I highly recommend contributing video content--students really enjoy the project! I'll keep your invitation in mind. --Jgmikulay (talk) 17:09, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I stumbled on List of sculpture parks when a noobie messed it up, trying in good faith to add an obscure Wisconsin sculpture park. The article is a sad, sad mess:
1) Lots of the places listed don't even have a red link because whoever added them was so new as not to know how to format the entry
2) Lots and lots of red links
3) Lots of external links, in violation of WP:EL, sometimes combined with 1 or 2.
Could you and others who are more into public art articles take a hand here? It's really a shame in its current condition. A rule that some, but not by any means all, lists adopt, is that an entity doesn't go on the list if there isn't an article about it: one that meets the usual notability, sourcing and verifiabilty rules. --Orange Mike | Talk 16:41, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for the suggestion, Mike! This article is one that I watch, and I can see your point. I'm not sure when the project you propose will make it to the front burner for me. I will try to improve the Wisconsin section at least, probably by also adding articles about the listed parks. --Jgmikulay (talk) 17:12, 30 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

hi, i went and fixed the licenses for these pre-1977 public domain works. you might want to check your old images. i might, but nobody else will. Farmbrough's revenge⇔ †@1₭ 15:23, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
OK, but how did you determine that there is no mark on this sculpture? --Jgmikulay (talk) 15:31, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
the SIRIS database dosn't have it in the description [3] (love those smithsonian folks) hard to prove a negative, but it seems to be methodical. Farmbrough's revenge⇔ †@1₭ 15:34, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Is your suggestion, then, that for sculptures made between 1923 and 1977 with no mark documented in the SIRIS catalog, to go ahead and "fix" the license as public domain? --Jgmikulay (talk) 15:48, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
yes, i've been doing this on an ad hoc basis, it is uncontroversial; but there is no impetus to clean up, only to tag "fair use" by bot. (and it still might get a DMCA take-down as happened at Clothespin (Oldenburg), don't know if you're following the drama). Farmbrough's revenge⇔ †@1₭ 16:01, 30 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I try to steer clear of the drama, hence my cautious approach. I'm working on re-doing List of public art in Milwaukee to work with the fancy new table system. Would you be willing to take a look at my work in progress and let me know of anything you see that I could improve? I'd love to head off problems before I build this out with all 150+ sculptures. THANKS! --Jgmikulay (talk) 03:16, 1 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
sorry about the delay in feedback. i see Ilona Gonzalez has one license for her photos [4], while Lonibug has two [5], which i believe is correct (one for work, one for derivative photo). love the videos; smallbones has been using a Template:External media, for example A Visit from the Old Mistress. nice photos, are they using tripods? slowkingFarmbrough's revenge⇔ †@1₭ 02:58, 28 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
For all of your excellent contributions to articles about public art structures, I hereby award you the Barnstar of Fine Arts. Your contributions are appreciated! Special thanks for teaching your students about Wikipedia! Royalbroil 03:21, 13 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give a page a different title by copying and pasting its content into Lodgepole (sculpture). This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes.
Unfortunately, we will have to temporarily delete the new article you created under speedy deletion criterion G6, so that the page you intended to move may be properly moved in a way that will preserve its edit history. To avoid this problem in the future, please use the "Move" tab at the top of articles in order to re-title them.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by visiting the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you recently tried to give User:Jgmikulay/WSPA a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into another page with a different name. This is known as a "cut and paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is needed for attribution and various other purposes. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page. This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Cut and paste move repair holding pen. Thank you. Please don't draft any more content here.Marcus Qwertyus (talk) 17:02, 27 December 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'd love for you to be involved - since you are a founding member, of course. You'll find resources about getting involved in blogging, Facebook, and more. I also encourage you make an introduction, which is easy to do with a click of a button. I'm moving back to volunteering at the end of the month, and I really hope the project can continue to thrive and grow with volunteer support. See you there, i hope!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

3rd Annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon[edit]
Hi Jgmikulay!
We are writing to let you know about the 3rd annual Art+Feminism Wikipedia Edit-a-thon, taking place over the weekend of March 4-6, 2016. A large proportion of these events took place at universities, liberal arts colleges, and independent art schools, with groups creating and editing articles around their specific interests and institutional holdings. We are reaching out to see if you would be interested in organizing an event at Alverno College. Thanks to a generous grant from the Wikimedia Foundation, there will be funding available to help satellite events pay for childcare and refreshments. If you would like to learn more, you can reach us at: info@art.plusfeminism.org. We look forward to hearing from you!

You have expressed interest in the GLAM-Wiki US Consortium, so you may be interested in attending the GLAM Boot Camp next month in Washington, DC.
