Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Election night editathon

Thanks John The last one at Newspeak House was a success, and I would be up for doing this again. There were several psephologists there last time, and once the exit polling data was out, working with them, we were able to predict who the new incoming MPs would be. This is of course easiest where

John Thanks for the reminder. I have a hazy recollection of Ed Saperia asking me before I left on Friday morning if I could create such a list. Here are the articles that we started on the night at the editathon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetups/UK/General_election,_June_2017#Arti

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Proposed election night editathon

John I'm happy to be the "main organiser", but I'd rather not sign up on Facebook. We would probably want a Wikipedia editathon page anyway at some point, so I'll start one. Edward Hands (Edwardx) On 1 June 2017 at 16:10, John Lubbock wrote: > I'm about to make an event for the election night e

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Proposed election night editathon

John Thanks for your timely reminder. From previous postings, Fabian and I (at least) would be up for an election night editathon. As I've mentioned before, there are 29 MPs not standing again, so based on the 2015 constituency results and the 10pm exit polls, we can start Draft: pages for proba

John My vote (haha) would be for Election Night itself, and Newspeak House is fine with me. I would definitely attend. Edward (Edwardx) Virus-free. www.avast.com

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Proposed election night editathon

I attended the same event as Fabian, and agree with all his comments. It was a fun night, and we could do even better this time.. We already have 25 MPs not standing again, so that's up to 25 new bios we'll need: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2017#Members_of_Parli

[Wikimediauk-l] Proposed election night editathon

Thinking back to the editathon we ran at the time of the last election, there was quite a long wait until much in the way of new MPs were elected, and by that time people were tired and/or enthusiasm had waned. There will be a number of candidates for safe seats for whom we can start draft pages i
