Wikipedia Takes the Subway is an event organized by Wikimedia New York City. It involves taking photos of the New York City Subway for subway stations articles without photos.
Watch this space for future possible changes. And please watchlist this page. Final details will be decided at the New York City Meetup the day before.
Wikipedia Takes the Subway will be held on Monday January 19, 2009. Since it is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, most schools will be closed, and some workplaces as well.
We will meet at GCT at 9:00, come back for lunch at 1:00pm, and meet back at 4.
Please bring your own camera if you are participating.
Tripods and flash photography are not allowed by the MTA. However a simple string stabilizer can be very effective at improving shots and is very unobtrusive.
Hmm ... it's a holiday, so my son and I could stay over in NY. He'd love this. Let's see. Daniel Case (talk) 19:32, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We are now definite for this. 15:29, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Possible
It depends; my mom constantly wants to know my whereabouts, and I'm 17! And on top of that, I need a camera. My friend's a subway buff, however, who has a camera. I'll see. —Imdanumber1 (talk • contribs • email) 03:29, 1 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Just realized that I could still possibly make it. I'll have to think more about it when we get closer to the event. Enigmamsg 08:10, 8 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
A good idea and I'd like to do this, I'm just a bit busy prior to the start of a new semester and might not have time. --Bigtimepeace | talk | contribs 08:06, 14 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Regrets
I won't even be in the Tri-State area until June 2009. ----DanTD (talk) 14:25, 30 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As mentioned on the main NYC meetup page, by this time I will have already returned to Pittsburgh for school. TML (talk) 05:09, 6 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I would've liked to go, but I have another commitment for tomorrow afternoon. Enigmamsg 03:33, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
