I'd like to remind the community that Wikimedia UK is happy to ask for
press passes to other festivals if you would like to go and take pics for
Commons as well. I think we already have someone going to Boomtown Festival.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimedia UK 2018 AGM

[Fæ]

I would like to schedule a question for the AGM about membership
numbers and I note the deadline of this Friday. However with
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Membership/Numbers frozen as of October
2017, it appears that this information about the performance of the
charity is no longer being publicly reported, making it impossible for
me to pose a question based on the facts.

How can I receive an update this week on the trend in membership over
the last 8 months, or have a later submission on this subject
accepted?

Thanks,
Fae

[Wikimediauk-l] Pride in London

[Fæ]

A nudge for your calendar, Pride in London is going to be on Saturday
7th July. Just a month away if you want to plan a big day out in
London! The parade itself is for registered groups, but is a lot of
fun to watch and makes a great photography subject. If you want to
officially take photographs for Wikimedia Commons and get privileged
access, media passes can be requested up until 22 June.[1] Remember
that we have an easy way to put freely released LGBT+ related
photographs on Wikimedia Commons, see the LGBT Free Media
collective.[2]

Throughout June the international WikiLovesPride is running, so
regardless of where you are, it's a great time to take a look at
improving Wikipedia articles on LGBT+ history or biographies.[3] The
history of the London gay rights marches and Pride parades looks
skimpy and out of date, missing changes like the growing size of the
event, now the third largest LGBT+ parade in the world, being awarded
the Queen's Award for Voluntary Service, and there being no mention of
UK Black Pride events which run in parallel and are notable enough for
a stand alone article. It's these primary Wikipedia articles and
related photographs that journalists rely on when they are reporting
on Pride events.[4]

Pride in London training for stewards has started, and lots more
volunteers are needed (it takes hundreds of stewards for the Parade
alone). It's easy to book yourself in and the session lasts an hour.
If you cannot get to Southwark for training, there will be remote
digital training sessions too. I went on the first course last
weekend, and for the first time I'll be a senior steward on the day.
Drop me a note if you want to ask about it. If you are media savvy and
can help out with tweets and photographs to support the event, there
are calls for volunteers for those activities too.[5][6]
