London Loves Wikipedia
Outline
Two proposals have been received both focusing on the events on St Valentine's Day 2009.
- a) Restricting the event to a centralised programme around working with museums along the lines of Wikipedia Loves Art, thereby achieving an extensive relation to art
- b) Making the event extra lovely by including Wiki Art, a project set up on the same day which exhibits an intensive relation to art.
Benefits
It benefits the projects - especially Wikipedia - as it generates photos that can be used.
Financial requirements
Not much - prizes Could be sponsored as per Wikipedia Loves Art
Volunteering
Organisers (two? - one Board, one non-Board? User:AndrewRT was original proposer, Editor Potter also available.) Participants to take photos, process, upload, use (as many as possible)
Discussion
We could try to generalise things a bit more - e.g. go a bit more sciency and get the Science Museum and/or Natural History Museum involved, or have an additional focus on architecture. Mike Peel 22:43, 9 March 2009 (UTC)
- Tate Gallery might be worth contacting - they donated 400 files free to itunes in April 2009. AndrewRT 21:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Funding was requested for this as part of the "Kick Start" grant application to the WMF here. Mike Peel 11:54, 27 June 2009 (UTC)
