Celebrate Wikipedia's birthday with the Wikipedia Minnesota User Group! Have some cake and coffee, meet some of the state's Wikipedians, and find out how to get involved in Wikipedia!

This is a social event, but there will be nothing stopping you from doing a little editing while you are here. Please bring your own laptop and charger.

Local St Cloudians--if you would like a ride, let Rachel know.

Regrets

Regrets....I have another engagement this evening and am sorry to miss it. Susan Sjacobsen1 (talk) 05:11, 12 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Greetings from across the river in Wisconsin! I would possibly have came if it was earlier in the day but the two hour drive from Eau Claire would make it too late for my taste but still closer than most of my fellow Wisconsinites in the Madison, Milwaukee or Green Bay metro areas. Cheers! -- Dolotta (talk) 04:03, 18 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm out of town and my flight doesn't get in until late. Hope it's a fun time! RBAnderson (talk) 02:29, 7 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I am in Toronto that weekend. But have tons of fun. Hopefully next event!

Thanks

Thanks for having an amazing meetup. It was kinda awkward being the youngest one there at first but you all were so inviting to me. See you at Editathon! AdrianWikiEditor (talk) 03:21, 20 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Great to meet many of you. Today walking through downtown Minneapolis I asked every person if they saw Derrick Rose win the Timberwolves game last night. Two people saw him and the other hundred did not know who he is. Short way of saying it's nice to be among people with shared interests. Wikipedia works because people are basically good. And the bots can combat ye olde tragedy of the commons. Thanks for the meetup. -SusanLesch (talk) 14:45, 21 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
