Spoken Wikipedia — Lebanon & others

Hi Hassocks, thanks for getting back to me! I understand all about being busy elsewhere and finding time for things, so I've no trouble at all waiting :)

I haven't listened to Islamic feminism but I will, along with some of his other contributions and will draft a message for him, as you suggested. I'll post it here for you to have a look first. The licence issues are easily fixable so he should respond well to that; we shall have to wait and see how the rest goes, but hopefully ok! :) Will post the message for him here, soon. Cheers, Maedin\^talk 07:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Hassocks! Unfortunately, it turned into a huuuuge ramble and I'm really nervous about it! I was as nice as I could be, but I'm still worried. I would really like your thoughts and input. It's so long that I'm not going to paste it here, I'll just link to it: find it here. Feel free to edit the page, I don't mind if you mess around with what I've written.

I really wasn't sure how much detail to give, but I do think it would be unfair to not provide specific examples, which is why I included them. I know that, were it me, I wouldn't appreciate receiving criticism without proof, otherwise I would be like, "Huh? I did? Where? I didn't know I did that, do they know what they're talking about?..." etc. Actually, I probably wouldn't do that, but I could imagine that most people might, :)

Also, I noticed that, where there were template headers before the articles (for lack of references, articles to be expanded, etc), he mentioned them in the recordings. I wasn't sure if this was the right thing to do or not, so I made sure I didn't mention it. You probably know better than me.

Again, I'm not at all sure that what I've said is appropriate. I've probably gone "too far" in pointing out errors. I'd really like to get this right, so make as many changes as you feel necessary, even if that includes deleting whole swathes of it!

Over to you! And many thanks for your help so far. Maedin\^talk 20:36, 31 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Wikimania 2010 and Wikimedia UK v2.0 Notice

Hi,

As a regularly contributing UK Wikipedian, we were wondering if you wanted to contribute to the Oxford bid to host the 2010 Wikimania conference. Please see here for details of how to get involved, we need all the help we can get if we are to put in a compelling bid.

We are also in the process of forming a new UK Wikimedia chapter to replace the soon to be folded old one. If you are interested in helping shape our plans, showing your support or becoming a future member or board member, please head over to the Wikimedia UK v2.0 page and let us know. We plan on holding an election in the next month to find the initial board, who will oversee the process of founding the company and accepting membership applications. They will then call an AGM to formally elect a new board who after obtaining charitable status will start the fund raising, promotion and active support for the UK Wikimedian community for which the chapter is being founded.

You may also wish to attend the next London meet-up at which both of these issues will be discussed. If you can't attend this meetup, you may want to watch Wikipedia:Meetup, for updates on future meets.

We look forward to hearing from you soon, and we send our apologies for this automated intrusion onto your talk page!
