Hello Jane,

I've noticed your work on Emily Carr in wikidata.

I would like to invite you to this upcoming series of free online events funded by the Wikimedia Foundation, featuring Canadian women visual artists.

Wiki-Wednesdays - Canadian Visual Artists On the first Wednesday of every month from noon to 1 pm, we will demonstrate Wikimedia and wiki data editing and learning led by a technology expert from the UK through zoom online learning. We will also help cultural connectors create knowledge graphs to demonstrate the importance of linked open data (LOD) and creating online information on your websites that increase audiences and engagement.

This project will help participants to get started through these steps each session: 1. Provide overview information about the WikiGLAM sector and how to work together over this project period. 2. Obtain a Wiki handle or user page so they can begin to understand how to edit Wikipedia or Wiki data. 3. Develop learning tools and presentations so participants understand important Wiki data labels – Examples include visual artist dates of birth, an artist trained by, notable works, part of the Collection of the X art museum, curatorial research or curatorial essays, etc. 4. Demonstrate how a SPARQL query pulls information from Wiki data to form a data visualization, also known as a knowledge graph. 5. Demonstrate how the visualization could be used in public programming or as a learning tool for educators, volunteers, or exhibit staff. 6. Provide examples of how the knowledge graph can foster connections between different art museums, visual artists, notable works, researchers, and curators.

We will focus on Canadian women visual artists highlighted in an exhibit created by the McMichael Canadian Art Collection - Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment. This exhibit is on view at the Vancouver Art Gallery (June 11, 2023, to January 8, 2023) and then at the National Gallery in Ottawa (March 3, 2023 - August 20, 2023).

While some of these artists belonged to the Canadian Group of Painters founded by A. Casson or the Beaver Hall Group in Montreal, they were not formally invited to join the Group of Seven, Canadian Landscape Painters.

File:Marie-Adélaïde Baubry-Vaillant - Portrait of Prince Vinh Thuy in 1926 - T199HK0473 SS-REF2 1.jpg has been listed at Commons:Deletion requests so that the community can discuss whether it should be kept or not. We would appreciate it if you could go to voice your opinion about this at its entry.

If you created this file, please note that the fact that it has been proposed for deletion does not necessarily mean that we do not value your kind contribution. It simply means that one person believes that there is some specific problem with it, such as a copyright issue. Please see Commons:But it's my own work! for a guide on how to address these issues.

Please remember to respond to and – if appropriate – contradict the arguments supporting deletion. Arguments which focus on the nominator will not affect the result of the nomination. Thank you!

Thanks for uploading File:Sacramento Daily Union, Volume 23, Number 3531, 23 July 1862, A Visit to the Burnt District of Troy, New York.jpg. I notice that the file page either doesn't contain enough information about the license or it contains contradictory information about the license, so the copyright status is unclear.

If you created this file yourself, then you must provide a valid copyright tag. For example, you can tag it with {{self|GFDL|cc-by-sa-all}} to release it under the multi-license GFDL plus Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike All-version license or you can tag it with {{PD-self}} to release it into the public domain. (See Commons:Copyright tags for the full list of license tags that you can use.)

If you did not create the file yourself or if it is a derivative of another work that is possibly subject to copyright protection, then you must specify where you found it (e.g. usually a link to the web page where you got it), you must provide proof that it has a license that is acceptable for Commons (e.g. usually a link to the terms of use for content from that page), and you must add an appropriate license tag. If you did not create the file yourself and the specific source and license information is not available on the web, you must obtain permission through the VRT system and follow the procedure described there.

Note that any unsourced or improperly licensed files will be deleted one week after they have been marked as lacking proper information, as described in criteria for deletion. If you have uploaded other files, please confirm that you have provided the proper information for those files, too. If you have any questions about licenses please ask at Commons:Village pump/Copyright or see our help pages. Thank you.
