Science Online London

On Saturday 22 August, I attended Science Online London, and gave a talk on "Science and Wikimedia" in the "Citizen Science" session. Before and after the event, I had a number of positive discussions about Wikipedia with a number of people from museums around London. In most cases, people were after further information; as a consequence I've started putting together the pages on cultural partnerships and Britain Loves Wikipedia.

Britain Loves Wikipedia

I've started fleshing out this idea on the webpages. Would it be worth having a dedicated domain name for this? Dialog ballons icon.svg Discuss

Upcoming

I'm away between the 2nd and 5th September, and won't be able to answer phone calls on the WMUK phone. Dialog ballons icon.svg Discuss
