This is a community-led effort, with support from WMUK. A number of volunteers have already expressed interest in helping to organize the contest, but there is much to be done and many more volunteers are needed, both now and over the coming few months. If you would like to contribute towards making our first ever competition the great success we expect it to be, please visit http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2013_in_the_United_Kingdom and leave your name there. Even if you are only able to offer us moral support, or want to take part as photographer in September, please leave your details anyway. You need not be based in the UK to help.

The event takes place on Queen Victoria's 194th birthday and the focus of editing will be improve coverage of people and events mentioned in the queen's diaries. Wikimedia UK are supporting the event, and it while it isn't meant to be a training session would be useful to have some people there who are experienced Wikimedians and prepared to coach others and help structure the day. If you are interested in helping and are free on Friday 24th, could you please contact either Richard Nevell (richard.nevell&lt; at &gt;wikimedia.org.uk) or Daria Cybulska (daria.cybulska&lt; at &gt;wikimedia.org.uk). You can sign up for the event on Wikipedia ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_University_of_Oxford/QueenVictoriasJournals), If you do so, please make sure to register through eventbrite as well: http://victoriasjournal.eventbrite.co.uk/ Regards, Richard </pre> Richard Nevell 2013-05-16T17:47:54 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation.uk/10960 <pre>Thank you, Roger.

"Jisc invites tenders for an individual or organisation to be the Jisc ‘Wikimedia Ambassador' and run a nine month training and coordination project for the use of Wikimedia tools and techniques for educational purposes. The purpose of the training is to disseminate skills and knowledge leading to improved coverage and accuracy of articles relating to information produced by Jisc funded programmes presented on Wikimedia projects.

Getting into the dead tree sources of fields you don't know that much about is also problematical. In fairness chemistry doesn't really do books. Oh they exist but for any heavy work its all int the journals. Hmm I suspect that's field specific (in fairness chemistry tends to have fewer optional modules). It's not Wikipedia's job to make society actually teach information Well the standard "use the sources at the end of the wikipedia article" suggests we may have a problem. While in some cases wikipedians do a reasonable job in selecting these in other cases they can often be whatever the wikipedian had to hand. For example I doubt that Our Changing Coast a survey of the intertidal archaeology of Langstone Harbour Hampshire is the best source in the world when it comes to Phoenix breakwaters. </pre> geni 2013-05-14T12:50:10 Search the mailing list at Gmane query http://search.gmane.org/?group=$group=gmane.org.wikimedia.foundation.uk
