==18th Anniversary and Business Meeting==
* Save the date. I have booked [[Rojo]]'s side room for an 18th anniversary party and business meeting on the afternoon of Sunday, March 17, 2024 (St Patrick's Day) from 1:00 to 4:00. The agenda for the business meeting is "Time to Grow Up", and we will aim to draft an advisory committee which will take up the task of discussing the future of the website (succession plans, etc.)  Anyone interested is invited to join us. More information to come. Feel free to contact me with questions, etc. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 10:05, 1 February 2024 (CST)
** I have created an event page on Facebook. If you haven't been invited to interact with that page and would like to be, just let me know. Facebook interaction is by no means a requirement for actually coming to the party. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 14:43, 12 February 2024 (CST)
*** Thank you to everyone who showed up. It was a surprisingly good turnout and very enjoyable. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 11:23, 19 March 2024 (CDT)


* I have been adding articles from local news sources as I find them to redlinked entries here. My current bandwidth isn't allowing me much play time, so anyone is welcome to create the pages. I've merely added the links as a future reference. [[User:Wheresdib|--Wheresdib]] ([[User talk:Wheresdib|talk]]) 07:47, 17 February 2021 (PST)

*I added AL.com page (FINALLY), can someone redirect Al.com to AL.com? [[User:BootstrapsRiley|--BootstrapsRiley]] ([[User talk:BootstrapsRiley|talk]]) 17:47, 15 February 2022 (CST)
**Disregard the above, I figured it out. --[[User:BootstrapsRiley|BootstrapsRiley]] ([[User talk:BootstrapsRiley|talk]]) 17:26, 15 February 2022 (PST)
 
* Working on creating one of the most cited non-date or war red pages... the Ku Klux Klan page.  Hopefully can finish draft tomorrow.  This is legit a beast, could use help with formatting and review once it's up. [[User:BootstrapsRiley|BootstrapsRiley]] ([[User talk:BootstrapsRiley|talk]]) 19:27, 15 February 2022 (PST)
** Thanks for taking that on. I'm sure it will get reviewed once you put it up. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] ([[User talk:Lkseitz|talk]]) 20:20, 15 February 2022 (PST)
*** Agreed. I've always said having a good start is better than a blank page. A complicated subject and one that requires a certain amount of trained historianship to cut through all the bluster, shiftiness and discontinuity. To that end, I'd advise trying to use and cite the work of historians rather than just primary/contemporary sources. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 06:30, 16 February 2022 (PST)
 
== Fifteen Years! ==
* Can you believe we are coming up on the 15th Anniversary of Bhamwiki? Nether can I! Dystopos, do you want to host a Zoom meeting on March 15, or something similar? I assume an in-person meet-up is still discouraged at this point. [[User:Wheresdib|--Wheresdib]] ([[User talk:Wheresdib|talk]]) 12:25, 23 February 2021 (PST)
** I'm not a huge fan of zoom meetings, but I'm up for participating in whatever is safe and appropriate. Maybe I can get Chivon to make a little video presentation to share. I was also thinking of having t-shirts made for all of us, but then I forgot to follow-up. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 14:20, 23 February 2021 (PST)
*** T-shirts would be cool. And since we're not going anywhere much, no one would know if they're late. :-)  I'd say I'm up for anything, but looking at my calendar, I'm booked the weekend of 3/14-15 and pretty much all Sundays. :-( --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] ([[User talk:Lkseitz|talk]]) 06:29, 24 February 2021 (PST)
**** Just for the record, you should all let me know how many t-shirts you would want, and what size(s). Admin at Bhamwiki dot com would be a good way to let me know. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 09:07, 24 February 2021 (PST)
** I think a Zoom meeting would be fine. I'm used to those for work, so I could probably join whenever you decide to meet. [[User:Robert Matthews|Robert Matthews]] ([[User talk:Robert Matthews|talk]]) 14:29, 24 February 2021 (PST)
*** If anyone has proposals for items to put on an agenda for a zoom meeting, add them here. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 15:10, 24 February 2021 (PST)
**** I think I mainly need the annual(ish) Reading of the Statistics. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] ([[User talk:Lkseitz|talk]]) 05:17, 10 March 2021 (PST)
* I'm thinking I'll write up a 15-year stat[u]s update and distribute it to all interested parties, along with a mock-up of a 15th Anniversary t-shirt. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 07:50, 12 March 2021 (PST)

== Last chance ==
* If anyone missed their chance to get a [[User:Dystopos/Bhamwiki t-shirts|15th anniversary Bhamwiki t-shirt]], I'll soon be placing another order. These are free to anyone who has made more than 20 edits to pages that aren't about themselves. If anyone else in the world wants one or more at cost, let me know. You can contact me here, or email me at admin at bhamwiki dot com. Tell me your preferred size and color(s) (Note: orange is discontinued) and either give me a mailing address or talk to me about a pick-up location. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 15:44, 30 July 2021 (PDT)
** This offer is now closed, but if anyone would like to order a t-shirt at cost, contact me. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 07:48, 15 October 2021 (PDT)
 
==Reporting Awards==
* I've been pondering the idea of giving an annual award or awards for reporting in the media, as a way of recognizing the irreplaceable importance of first-hand reporting to Bhamwiki, as well as to the public. I'd probably come up with some kind of token to give out, and possibly invite honorees to attend our annual (?!) anniversary get-together. Thoughts? --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 07:41, 15 October 2021 (PDT)
** Sounds like a cool idea to me. --[[User:Lkseitz|Lkseitz]] ([[User talk:Lkseitz|talk]]) 06:42, 16 October 2021 (PDT)
**I like the idea!--[[User:BootstrapsRiley|BootstrapsRiley]] ([[User talk:BootstrapsRiley|talk]]) 17:27, 15 February 2022 (PST)
*** I still like this idea, but it's going to have to wait until I have time to think about it. --[[User:Dystopos|Dystopos]] ([[User talk:Dystopos|talk]]) 07:33, 14 March 2022 (PDT)
