Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Architecture & sandstone carvings
Hi Sara, Not a wikimedian as such, but I think the project might be of interest to the architecture librarian David Buri at the Glasgow School of Art. He has previously received training on how to edit Wikipedia and has done some editing himself, but I think in this occurrence, he might be a better resource in terms providing sources for citations, etc… If this is of interest, let me know and I’ll send you his contact info.

This will include volunteer groups carrying out research, writing articles about notable local subjects, and integrating some of the pictures that have been taken into the encyclopedia. As well as articles which pertain to local history and places, my feeling is that there may well be a range of other articles relating to architecture, etc, which might be usefully incorporated into a worklist for one of the editathons which will form a part of this next phase. I wondered if there were any wikimedians on this list with an interest in architecture/ stonecarving who might be interested in helping me to explore this? I'd love to have a chat some time.

Brenda played a major role in bringing the University into the digital age, as Edinburgh became the first major university library in the UK to tackle and deliver a computer-based service. Two events will coincide with the launch of the Brenda Moon Room: our Wikimedian in Residence will be hosting a Wikipedia-editing session for staff, students and friends of the University to create Wikipedia entries for notable women currently missing from the encyclopaedia site, and at the Main Library, LTW Equality and Diversity Images Intern Francesca Vavotici will be hosting a ‘Sketch-a-thon’ using images from the Centre for Research Collections’ Special Collections. All artistic abilities welcome! Wikipedia Editathon – Women of Edinburgh: This event is open to staff, students and friends of the University and is an opportunity to help add more notable women associated with Edinburgh to Wikipedia, where only 18% of the English Wikipedia's biographies are about women.

Hi list Wikimedia UK is supporting the annual Wiki Loves Monuments contest again this year, and I am looking for 20-25 volunteers to help review and filter the entries. The contest finishes at the end of September, with reviewing and judging taking place immediately after that. We normally have several rounds of reviewing during October, enabling us to reduce the expected 10,000+ entries down to a long list of a few hundred from which the winners are selected by our panel of judges. You'd need to be able to commit to a minimum of 5-8 hours online reviewing, spread out over the month of October. As reviewing is done online, volunteers can be based anywhere in the world and you don't need to have any UK connections. We’re not looking for expert photographers, but you should have a basic ability to be able to distinguish a good photograph from a poor or mediocre one. Training in the online reviewing software is available. If you are able to help, or if you'd like more information, please let me know.

Remember that the skills required to contribute to Wikipedia, for example, include researching and collating sources, summarising, writing, and collaboration. (2) Digital Inclusion - we have many people in the UK for whom English is not their first language. With so much of the internet delivered in English, there is a cultural bias toward English. Wikimedia projects have the capacity to allow people of varied backgrounds to contribute from their own cultural perspective and to help preserve their heritage. WMUK has experience working with both the traditional groups of Welsh and Scots, and also modern groups like the Asian, Polish, and Balkan communities. I'm sure you're aware of others. In either case, a session could be made with a brief introduction to WMUK and the work we do, followed by a hands-on editing session to give participants a taste of what is possible. Round it out with an invitation to keep in touch with WMUK and join the Wikimedia editing community. Obviously, those are just first thoughts, but I think we have such a good track record that it would be a shame if we couldn't put something together for MozFest. -- Rexx On 29 June 2018 at 16:09 John Lubbock mailto:john.lubb...@wikimedia.org.uk>> wrote: Hello UK Wikimedians, Mozilla have issued a call for proposals for sessions at this year's Mozfest.

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] Links 1. https://prideinlondon.org/media-centre 2. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:LGBT_Free_Media_Collective 3. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2018 4. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pride_London 5. https://prideinlondon.org/volunteer 6. https://twitter.com/PrideInLondon/status/1003924645106671616 Cheers, Fae -- fae...@gmail.com<mailto:fae...@gmail.com> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Fae Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_LGBT+ ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org<mailto:wikimediau...@wikimedia
