Re: [Wikimediauk-l] WMUK Calendar Syncing

[Peter Coombe]

I didn't know such a thing existed. Very handy!

It took me a few minutes to figure out how to use it on Google Calendar.
For anyone else similarly struggling: click the down arrow next to "Other
calendars" in the sidebar, then select Add by URL.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikidata tartan!

[i...@cymruwales.com]

 
  
   Hey! Tartan was used in Wales for centuries! But we always wore something underneath... We might photo-blitz St Fagans, Cardiff on Sunday as an off-shoot of EduWiki, where there are quite a few examples of Welsh Kilts on show. Email me if you want to join us.

 Actually, it's the Scotland 2000 tartan. The middle strip of the tartan pattern looks remarkably similar to the Wikidata logo.

 Highland dress made from this tartan should be the official uniform of Wikimedia Scotland (or even Wikimedia UK!)

Quoting Jon Davies :

Don't be silly! Where the kilt stops, the thick wool kilt socks start.

But, I'm not going out and having another kilt made. They're not  
cheap, and I can be a smug git over the fact I've no problem fitting  
into one made for me over 20 years ago.
