Re: [Wikimediauk-l] #4947276 Invoice secondary Notice

That's what happened, Gordo.

Look at the source of the original post and it's obviously originating from
189.223.76.180 (Tijuana), despite the spoofed "From:" field. You can't spoof the
originating IP, because it's added by the first relay, not by the original
poster.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] #4947276 Invoice secondary Notice

[MCANDREW Ewan]

Dear all,
Suffice to say I won’t ever be asking to pay invoices on this mailing list but 
many apologies for the phishing email you received which purported to come from 
my email address. I can see this has generated a great deal of discussion on 
this thread.
Just to make you aware that I’ve reported the issue to the IS helpline here at 
the university who are looking into this as a matter of urgency. I’ve also run 
Malware checks on both my computer and mobile (using Malwarebytes and Norton) 
but nothing seems amiss/ turning up in these scans so far.
I’m wondering also if this is not a university email problem per se given I 
have also received another phishing scam email to my gmail purporting to be 
from Jason’s email address at the National Library of Wales. So Jason and 
Wikimedia UK list admins may want to run scans too (belt and braces after all!).
Apologies all once again.
Best wishes,
Ewan

[Wikimediauk-l] Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 video

[John Lubbock]

Hi all, we've just published a promotional video for Wiki Loves Monuments
2017 on YouTube , Facebook

and Twitter . I
would really appreciate it if anybody who is able can share these posts so
that they reach as wide an audience as possible. We are trying to make more
of this video content so people can understand what we do in the UK and
what the difference is between Wikipedia, the WMF and us as a chapter.
Obviously as we don't have money for advertising, we rely on our
(fantastic, intelligent, unaffected by flattery) community to get the word
out, so I'd be incredibly grateful if those of you on social media can help
share our content. Thanks!
