Wikipedia talk:Meetup/London 16

Camera work

I'll be back in londinium fresh from uni with a camera; does anyone have anything in London they think the wiki needs pictures of? I remember people mentioning stuff back at what must've been 11 that I never got around to. Ironholds (talk) 16:17, 20 November 2008 (UTC)

Here you go: Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in London ...that'll keep you busy until lunchtime! :-) -- Harry Wood (talk) 10:21, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

higher res version of Image:Admiralty_Citadel.JPG would be good. Iw as planning on hitting the science museamm again pending comeing up with an alturnative.Geni 04:06, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, that was the one! Thanks Geni. I believe it was mentioned at Meet 11/12 (probably 12) but I forgot about it. Ironholds (talk) 06:10, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Any volunteers to write something up about the meet?

Hi all,

Would anyone like to volunteer to write a summary of this meetup (and if possible, future ones) for the Wiki UK Ltd / Wikimedia UK newsletter (m:Wikimedia UK v2.0/Newsletter)? It would be a good way to spread the word about the meetups to others in the UK.

I would come to this meetup, but I'm busy that weekend teaching people how to use a radio telescope (and there's a meteor shower too - look up if you get a bit of clear sky!). I'll make it to one of these meetups eventually. :( Anyone want to help organize a northern-city meetup sometime? Mike Peel (talk) 00:07, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Sure, I'll do it. While I'm at it I'll see if the signpost would be interested in posting a story on the subject; we might be able to get a few people who've slipped under the radar interested in that way. Ironholds (talk) 04:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Great! Thank you. I'll send you a message when we start putting together December's newsletter. Mike Peel (talk) 20:23, 28 November 2008 (UTC)

URGENT: Anyone in London up for an interview?

Sky News want to interview someone about the current censor story (tonight, 7pm, London), is anyone available? Is so, please email the uk mailing list (wikimediauk-l@wikimedia.org.uk) immediately (or post here and I'll forward it on). --Tango (talk) 15:11, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Is it this thing you're talking about?: Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard/2008 IWF action ...Didn't know about it myself, so I can't really help. Could ask User:David Gerard. Is he in London? He's done press contact stuff before -- Harry Wood (talk) 18:59, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you're about 24 hours late. David Gerard would have done it but he was appearing on Channel 4 News at the time, it was him that asked for someone else do to it, I was just the messenger. --Tango (talk) 19:08, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Apologies

I'm afraid I won't make this one. It would have been great, what with the huge WMF vs IWF saga and whatnot. Unfortunately, I'm up at Oxford getting grilled on why I (foolishly) think they should accept my application, and so won't be able to be there. Merry Christmas, and I hope I'll see a few hardy souls in the New Year! haz (talk) 21:04, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Good luck! My friend went for his PPE interview a few days back; hopefully you'll have better luck than he did (he's convinced he failed).Ironholds (talk) 08:09, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
