Thanks for addressing my question, but one remains: why ABP? Why not Toscaninnis, the Garage, or a multitude of other places? (Well, two remain): what time will it be over? If I'm there late, will anyone castrate me? -Mysekurity  e-mail 03:28, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Yes, just talking and eating for the most part, getting to know (face-to-face) some of the local Wikipedians.  Occasionally there is some additional event planning (e.g. as when Wikimania was being held in town). —Steven G. Johnson (talk) 19:48, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

message: I'm thinking about requesting a  geonotice  for our meetup on June 14th.  The notice would be posted from May 15 through June 15, and would be viewable on the Watchlist of editors in Massachusetts.  What are others' thoughts?  Emw (talk) 16:04, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Good idea, as I said at one of the meetups. Keeping it up on June 15 for a meetup on June 14 seems pointless, though. Ucucha 16:06, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text:  You're right.  I'll ask that the notice be removed at 1:00 UTC on June 15, i.e. 9:00 PM June 14 local time. Emw (talk) 22:15, 5 May 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Geonotice 

message: Now wait a sec. It says here that there is a June 14 meetup at Red Bones in Somerville. And it says HERE here that there is a June 15 meetup at the Grafton Street Pub in Cambridge.
So what's the deal? Are these rival groups? Is this like the Jets and the Sharks? Can I attend both, or do I risk being kneecapped by one group if I attend the other's meetup, or what? And if I attend neither, then will both groups be out to get me? Herostratus (talk) 18:23, 23 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The information on the meetup.com page has not yet been updated.  The information on Wikipedia:Meetup/Boston is correct. Cheers, Emw (talk) 18:37, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

message: If it's been scheduled, what is the date and time of the meetup in September? I'll be in Boston for a couple of days next month, so if the timing is right I may be able to attend. Thanks. Newyorkbrad (talk) 00:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The meetup is always held on the second Monday of the month. I believe the September meetup will follow that, so it will be September 13 at 1900 EST. 173.48.43.197 (talk) 01:40, 5 August 2010 (UTC)

message: I think we'd be able to reach a greater variety of people if we sometimes held meetups on other days of the week. How would people feel about moving the next meetup or the one after it to Saturday or Sunday? —Emufarmers(T/C) 00:41, 16 March 2011 (UTC)

message: Hey :)
Denny from the Wikidata team will be in Boston in November for a conference (http://iswc2012.semanticweb.org). If there is interest by local Wikipedians we can try to arrange for a intro session or something. He could intro Wikidata and answer questions. Interested? Maybe someone local even able to help with a venue and local outreach?
Cheers

message: Crossposting with  Wikipedia:WikiProject Boston, I am asking here: can anyone add GPS coordinates to my new Boston-related article, the The Partisans (sculpture)? Also, we could use a post-July-2006 picture (if it is on Commons, it is mislabeled and I couldn't find it). Cheers, --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 14:29, 19 November 2014 (UTC)
