• Suggestion: Vertically align Roger and Jon photos with the centre of their messages--Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
  • They look good at the bottom of the paragraph to me. Mike Peel (talk) 18:08, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

• Correction: Penultimate sentence of Jon's message - "volunteers" should not have initial cap --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Page four

• Correction: 7 board members graphic shows eight people --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: Sept 2011 box - remove comma --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

• Suggestion: '25 community wikimeets' Mike Peel (talk) 18:10, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Page five

• Correction: First para, second column: "but this year" currently reads "but his year" --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: Same para, next sentence: change sentence to "they are writers and editors."--Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: Same para, next sentence: remove first instance of the word "fact". --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Check 60% for gift aid - seems high. (I estimate 45% using 42k donors and 19k gift aid declarations in the database, perhaps excluding SmartDebit?) Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Can things be tweaked so there the second column starts with a new paragraph? Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: 'our founder; Jimmy Wales,' - he's not WMUK's founder, so state 'Wikipedia's founder, Jimmy Wales,' (also suggest using a comma rather than semi-colon). Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Membership: increased number disagrees with that on the previous page. I'd recommend just removing this sentence, since it's a bit confusing about WMUK members vs online volunteers (and in the latter case, an increase of 165 is small). Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• In general, the text on this page currently doesn't distinguish well between WMUK and WMF fundraising efforts. E.g. the leafy green backgrounds was a WMF discovery, which WMUK replicated. Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Pie chart: give %'s for the last 4 entries in the yellow boxes? Could do this with the other three for consistency. Mike Peel (talk) 18:23, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Page six

• Suggestion: Change blackout header to "When Wikipedia went dark: the blackout" --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: remove stray quotation marks on right hand of the page --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Say 'well described' not 'best described'. Mike Peel (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• The white text on a black background is rather difficult to read with this font (or perhaps I've been staring at this computer screen too much today...) Mike Peel (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Needs to talk about WMUK's role here as distinct from Wikipedia - i.e. that the blackout was the Wikipedia community's decision, and that WMUK was just involved in communicating what was going on, and why, with the world rather than doing lobbying. Mike Peel (talk) 18:36, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Page seven

• Correction: First column, second para. End of para to read "privacy and libel laws in outlets such as" instead of ending sentence. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: Second column, top para - Change "lead" to "led" and capitalise The Independent. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• End of second paragraph, 'Outlets such as ...' is a sentence fragment, end with something like 'covered this subject.' Mike Peel (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Second column, 7th line, missing space in 'Financial Times,The independent'. Mike Peel (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• 6th paragraph - the third sentence doesn't clearly link to the second. (what connects Wikipedia vandalism with what to do without Wikipedia?) Mike Peel (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: 'GLAM:WIKI' to 'GLAM-WIKI' for consistency with usage elsewhere. Mike Peel (talk) 18:46, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Page eight

• Suggestion: Page needs an image. Perhaps Herbert Art Gallery and Museum? --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: First column, top half - add [User:HJ Mitchell] to list of contributors. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Suggestion: First column, second half - italicise Liam's intro. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: First column, third para - remove duplication of the word "is" --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Correction: Liam's section - first para: change since to during. Rock drum (talk • contribs) 11:48, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Suggestion: I'm a bit tired of seeing Liam's photo when we mention UK GLAM (it's so 2010). Can we replace with something like the group photo:--Fæ (talk) 11:01, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

Page nine

• Suggestion: Needs images! --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Second column, first line - insert word "College" after Imperial. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Page ten

• To feature infographic currently being designed.

Page eleven (inside back cover)

• Correction: First column, second para - professionally organised > professionally-organised. Rock drum (talk • contribs) 12:51, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

Page twelve (Outside back cover)

• Replace Nottingham address with Development House address as our registered address. --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• This page should really use the Wikimedia logo without localisation if it's being used to link all of the Wikimedia sister projects together... Mike Peel (talk) 18:29, 13 April 2012 (UTC)

General notes

• Correction: remove all full stops from pull quotes --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
• Suggestion: Can we replace some of the yellow with out brand colours? --Stevie Benton (talk) 11:40, 12 April 2012 (UTC)
