There was some spat over Plowman and Orwell's line on pacifism, so I've just looked at it and the ODNB version. Fairly different (and no Orwell at all in the ODNB, something about William Blake instead). Could be a fair amount of work to do, and there are redlinks, which I always like to see. Charles In this case I think they are mostly minor artists who would be hard to write articles on. Oh, but Richard Heron Ward is namechecked in a footnote to [[John Hospers]]'s classic *Introduction to Philosophical Analysis* in relation to his early LSD trips. Drugs, pacifism, US libertarian, I don't understand why the article doesn't exist already.

I notice two of the dates coincide with the London meetups. It would be nice, if possible, to avoid clashing with them.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Poll: Wikimedia UK OTRS workshop dates
Excellent point, I have taken Sunday 11 December and Sunday 15 January off the table and added in the remaining weekends in January. I have left the related Saturdays in, as we have yet to work out if the general preference is for a whole weekend (which may suit some attendees planning to stay overnight) or for successive Saturdays.

[Wikimediauk-l] Should we join in the Foundation grants scheme?
The Foundation, and Wikimedia Deutschland, have set up a participation grants initiative to fund people going places to do things in the Wikimedia movement. We've already identified giving travel grants of this nature as something we should do in 2012. We've been invited to take part and commit a sum of money towards it, but aren't sure whether we should or not. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Participation Basically, the advantages we might gain are that it might be simpler (both for us and the applicants) if there was one global grants programme rather than us doing our own thing. The disadvantage would be that we'd have less direct control over what that element of grant might be spent on, we might need to take on some of the work of deciding on a wider group of grant applications, and also the fact that the dividing line between what the Foundation does and what Chapters do is very unclear at the moment and this might further muddy it. Does anyone here have a view? Thanks, Chris ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

If we want to fund our own choices of global activities, or give grants for UK activities (or UK residents doing things overseas), then we should do so directly. If we want to fund global activities without deciding for ourselves, then we should just include the money in our donation to the WMF and let them get on with it. As I've mentioned in the discussion on internal-l, this new scheme seems very confused in terms of what the roles of chapters and the WMF are. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
