I'll be showing them how the National Library of Australia already does this with their digitised newspaper collection (e.g. http://trove.nla.gov.au/ndp/del/article/628050 - click on the cite button near the top left). I recall the ABC news site previously suffering a lot of temporary pages that disappeared after a time. Do they now keep everything forever, as e.g. the BBC do? 3) Point out to them how they can, if they want, use Wikinews content even more freely that Wikipedia because it is CC-BY. A bit of love for the non-Wikipedia projects is always good :-) There are of course, no shortage of other potential things that the ABC and Wikimedia could do, so if you've got something that you really want put on the table please tell us. So do you know what the feel of the place towards Wikipedia and free culture in general is? Around the BBC it's a real cultural divide, bubbling under the mostly-united surface, between those who think it's *obvious* everything should be as free as possible, and those who think it's *obvious* this is regrettably impossible. - d. ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l

Could try starting down this path with something simple that directly connects the two organisations: Perhaps we could ask for a photo to put on improve the wikipedia pages of current ABC personalities/presenters, under some type of suitable free-content license?

I think this is an especially good idea - it has a higher likelihood of success I reckon because, whatever they might think of free-licensing, they can see the direct publicity potential (with their marketing/PR hat on). This list might also expand to official cast photos of TV shows Can I suggest that people put their ideas on the wiki talkpage here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Australian_Wikipedians%27_notice_board#Meeting_with_the_ABCThat way they're all combined publicly and I can also pull up that page in the meeting to demonstrate that there is broad interest from the community in having a relationship. -Liam ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l
