Hey, figured I'd start using these boards as well as the others. I have a quick question: if someone was part of the Constitutional Convention (state or national), would that be enough to establish notability? I have someone who would pass on other criteria, but I've been wondering if this would qualify by itself. I think I'd asked this somewhere else months ago and just forgot, so I figure I'll ask again.

:My initial thought is that being sent to a constitutional conventional, by itself, is not sufficient evidence of notability. I think many (maybe even most) people sent to constitutional conventions are prominent and likely to be the subject of coverage in reliable sources, even if such coverage is not immediately available. However, there are also party operatives, [[political hack]]s and others who may not be particularly notable. So, I see attending a convention as a sign of notability, but not sufficient to qualify by itself.--<span style="font-family: Maiandra GD">[[User:Mojo Hand|Mojo Hand]] ''([[User talk:Mojo Hand|talk]])''</span> 16:20, 19 October 2015 (UTC) |

*Gotcha - good to know. I don't think I've written any articles based on that alone, but it's good to know. [[User:Tokyogirl79|Tokyogirl79]][[User talk:Tokyogirl79|'''<span style="color:#19197; background:#fff;"> (｡◕‿◕｡)</span>''']] 07:41, 20 October 2015 (UTC) |

Just a heads-up to the project that a request has been made to move [[Fairfax, Virginia]] to [[City of Fairfax, Virginia]]. —'''[[User:C.Fred|C.Fred]]''' ([[User_talk:C.Fred|talk]]) 17:40, 23 October 2015 (UTC) |

Greetings from GLAM-Wiki US
| Invitation to join GLAM-Wiki US | |
|---|---|
 Hello! This WikiProject aligns closely with the work of the GLAM-Wiki initiative (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), a global community of volunteers who assist cultural institutions with sharing resources with Wikimedia. GLAM-Wiki US is a new community initiative focused on organizing cultural collaborations within the United States. GLAM organizations are diverse and span numerous topics, from libraries and art museums to science centers and historic sites. We currently have a backlog of interested institutions- and we need your help!

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!
- What? Wiki Loves Pride, a campaign to document and photograph LGBT culture and history, including pride events
- When? June 2015
- How can you help?
- 1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work here
- 2.) Upload photographs or other media related to LGBT culture and history, including pride events, and add images to relevant Wikipedia articles; feel free to create a subpage with a gallery of your images (see examples from last year)
- 3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)
Or, view or update the current list of Tasks. This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Visit the group's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!
If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's main talk page.
Thanks, and happy editing!
Editathon at UVa
We're holding an editathon at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville today. Y'all can come, or see us online! -- econterms (talk) 10:59, 4 November 2015 (UTC)
Photo request in Spotsylvania
Spotsylvania VRE station is opening next Monday, the 16th. Is there anyone who'd be able to get photos on opening day or thereafter? Thanks, Pi.1415926535 (talk) 05:36, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
Virginia expert needed
Is there someone with expertise about Virginia? I'm trying to write an article about "Screamersville", a ghost town in Chesterfield County about 20 miles southeast of Richmond. However, there are many sources pointing to another "Screamersville" located on the river in Richmond, which was a site for many pre-Civil War brothels and taverns. If anyone can help sort this out I'd appreciate it. Magnolia677 (talk) 00:03, 31 December 2015 (UTC)
