:: "Structured Learning" is the phrase used by the charity commission in connection with libraries - it's important we demonstrate that wikipedia can be used as a resource for structured learning in order to tick their box.

School and university projects incorporating Wikipedia editing are summarized at [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Schools and universities project]] and [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:School and university projects/Past_projects]]. The concept dates back to 2003; it's mostly focused in the US, but there have been lots of projects around the world. I can't find any in the UK, though.

== Positive decision on a somewhat related charity == | |||
I notice that the Charity Commission has made a decision covering areas somewhat similar to ours for an organisation in-part "collating and publishing material on a wide range of educational subjects primarily by electronic means".[http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/Library/registration/pdfs/millcolldecision.pdf] In the decision document the CC discuss the "legal framework for the advancement of education by a charity and of what that extends to in modern society" and "The Scope of Charitable Education Outside of Formal Instruction", discussing various relevant legal precedents. This looks like being worth some study, even though this organisation had more limited objectives without an international dimension, and had "students" and "expert tutors" on their internet forum. The organisation itself, Millennium College UK Limited (charity number 1106285), seems to now be defunct[http://www.charity-commission.gov.uk/ShowCharity/RegisterOfCharities/CharityWithoutPartB.aspx?RegisteredCharityNumber=1106285&SubsidiaryNumber=0] but the decision may still have some useful precedent.

== How about a petition? == | |||
Was thinking of putting one up here: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/ | |||
Seems unavailable at the moment, because its moving to direct.gov.uk, but when it comes back, perhaps a petition could be created there and it'd probably be easier to convince people to sign it than to donate. [[Special:Contributions/87.194.40.167|87.194.40.167]] 21:52, 18 July 2011 (UTC) | |||

Company limited by guarantee
Does this removal mean that it no longer is, or just that it's an unnecessary detail for that page? --Nemo bis (talk) 13:43, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
- Just that it's unnecessary detail. We're still a charity, and still a company limited by guarantee. Richard Symonds (WMUK) (talk) 14:42, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
