My strategy at the moment to make sure that #Arborwiki gets some attention on a regular basis:
1. Subscribe to the Ann Arbor Observer's "a2view" newsletter
2. Read it weekly when it comes out
3. Write a paragraph that condenses an already condensed view of what's happening
4. Fill out the hyperlinks that emerge
The change log at @arborwiki_changes give a play by play.
Also:
Michigan Daily: "A2 Outlook"
WEMU weekly roundup.
"Your Ann Arbor News This Week" from MLive.
if I could do more.
Sam if you want a start on #arborwiki skating ponds, you could do some edits to Thurston Pond
https://localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Thurston_Pond
Greenview Park is missing a page, but there is a "Friends of Greenview" referenced, which comes up with this
https://friendsofgreenview.org/frogmeadow/
also worthwhile calling out the danger of pond/river/lake ice, e.g. this recent sad story of a death of an Ann Arbor salon owner on Grass Lake
Indeed, Arborwiki has a note with a frog hat clipping announcing the change as of May 2023.

I'm about 15% (23 of 160+) done making a numbering plan for Ann Arbor parks, and I'm using #arborwiki to publish the work to date.
https://localwiki.org/ann-arbor/Ann_Arbor_Parks_On_The_Air
In parallel I'm working on an annotated PDF based on the official 2023 city park list.
Arborwiki is kind of old in spots, but fortunately parks don't change all that much. The plan is to edit as I go to include radio operations.
#POTA thought experiment. 1. Make a list of municipal parks in my area - start with City of Ann Arbor because that's here - numbered sequentially from AA-001 (Allmendinger Park) to AA-161 (Wurster Park). The list at https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/GIVE365/Documents/2023%20Visit%20Every%20Park%20Guide.pdf will be authoritative once a sequence is added. 2. Publish the list in convenient formats. 3. Call CQ PARKS AT PARK AA-024 BURNS PARK 4. Hope to reach someone else at a city or county park. 5. Follow good amateur practice. #POTA #NOTPOTA #annarbor
Continuing the #POTA / #NOTPOTA thought experiment from https://mastodon.radio/@w8emv/111741213324389151
I have a list of City of Ann Arbor parks, and I am starting the process of numbering them sequentially based on https://www.a2gov.org/departments/Parks-Recreation/GIVE365/Documents/2023%20Visit%20Every%20Park%20Guide.pdf
@arborwiki_changes and #arborwiki #localwiki would be a convenient place to publish a list with links to parks.
The 800a N8DUY weekday morning roundtable would be a good time to test this out.
Call CQ PARKS AT PARK AA-024 BURNS PARK will be a first try.

Always happy to get a random question in the email from my contributions to #Arborwiki .
The latest is one looking for the recipe for the Hot Trout Sandwich at Delong's BBQ. Never mind that the restaurant closed in 2001.

The closest description I get is from this 1982 Ann Arbor News story
https://aadl.org/aa_news_19820813-for_fast_food
from the Ann Arbor District Library "Old News" clippings collection
At #a2council to say hello to folks, but I'll be downstairs in the basement at the DACAC meeting for the bulk of the meeting.
Traffic calming DC-2 looks like a hot issue.
DC-4 is "Resolution to Initiate a Statue to Honor Kathy Kozachenko". So I updated the #Arborwiki page
Updating #Arborwiki during a Zoom call, as one does.
You can follow along to some of those changes with @arborwiki_changes or see every change on the Activity tab of the Ann Arbor edition of #localwiki at

Dick Siegel, "Angelo's", recorded live at Hollerfest, 2008; from his 1994 album "Snap!"
MLive reports that a sale of Angelo's is pending to the U of Michigan, on the agenda for the May 18 regents meeting (noted by @hypomodern )
The @arborwiki_changes will need to be updated
