London Loves Wikipedia

Outline

Two proposals have been received both focusing on the events on [[St Valentine's Day:St Valentine's Day]2009.

a) Restricting the event to a centralised programme around working with museums along the lines of Loves Art 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.

Please discuss on the talk page.

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.) 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)
