afternoon at the
Midtown Exchange
, a historic

building on

Vikings
game on a big screen, there was a good conversation on many topics. Editors reviewed the progress of
WikiProject Minnesota
. There was extensive discussion of best naming practices and areas for improvement in articles related to
Native Americans
and other cultural groups.
