He's been working his arse off getting PR stuff set up for Monmouthpedia, and talking to PR professionals about WIkipedia, and talking to PR professionals about Monmouthpedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/MonmouthpediA/Public_Relations More generally, he's been talking to serious PR people who are actually sensible about how to deal with Wikipedia. It turns out the good PRs really are sick of the idiot PRs. So the liaison will involve a bit of the good people on each side apologising for the bad ones ... Monmouthpedia has the potential to be HUGE in the news, because frankly every little town in the world will want to do something like it - WMUK is getting inquiries already. It will also be an interesting way to recruit new Wikipedians. Of course, then we have to think about what will happen when they meet the worst of the present community ... it's all fun. - d. _______________________________________________ WikiEN-l mailing list WikiEN-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from this mailing list, visit: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikien-l
