Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Can we nudge the Church of England for free images?
Having done a little bit of work on the image lists for WLM and quite a bit of categorisation on commons I would add that in some counties they have the majority of the grade I listed buildings. So we should talk to the people who manage their physical estate, perhaps after Wiki Loves Monuments.

Hi Andy The Archbishop of Wales Barry Morgan is the Patron of Wici Cymru. I'm meeting him in a fortnight, if you need a contact.

I'm in discussion with someone who works for one of their Bishops; I'd be glad to widen that discussion as things progress.

I believe Robin Owain has some decent contacts at the Church in Wales...

[Wikimediauk-l] Can we nudge the Church of England for free images?
I'm just getting ready to write an article for Wikinews about the Archbishop of Canterbury, and I realised we do not have a free image of him. Does the chapter or any volunteers have any contacts at the Church of England? I expect they have a sizeable collection of interesting images that could help illustrate both historical articles, biographies (of bishops and archbishops etc.), articles about places, and things like Wikinews articles covering current-day issues in the church (like women bishops, the church's attitude to lesbian and gay people etc.) I've just sent an email to Lambeth Palace asking if they would be willing to release some images for use on the Wikimedia projects, but I'd be interested to see if anyone else could think of either good reasons to want, or good ways to get, images from the Church of England. -- Tom Morris http://tommorris.org/ ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
