Sadly, I don't think I can make it due to a prior commitment, but I'd been planning to go there and do some mapping of memorials, as follow-up to an event I was at last weekend: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_I/World_War_I_Editathon which was part of a larger activity, improving coverage of WWI on Wikipedia in the run-up to the 100th anniversary commemorations. May I urge those of you who can attend to please consider taking and uploading pictures to Wikimedia Commons, to supplement those already available there: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:National_Memorial_Arboretum and including Wikipedia links in OSM, per: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Wikipedia and its talk page discussion on related articles: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Talk:Key:wikipedia The main English Wikipedia article on the NMA is: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Memorial_Arboretum I'm sure you'll find it fascinating place to visit. You my also like to note the adjacent River Tame/ Trent confluence. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk _______________________________________________ Talk-GB mailing list Talk-GB@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-gb
