London Loves Wikipedia

Outline

Three 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.
c) This is an expansion on suggestion b. I think that we could prehaps explore colloborative art as a whole. Art which anyone can edit but to the extent of taking it beyond the very limited boundries of "Wikipedia Art".

Please discuss on the talk page.
