Seems well-informed. Is there any intention to ask for Wikipedian to be changed to Wikipedian-in-Residence in the prose if not the headline?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Language Policy
I think that these are sensible ideas from Robin. The draft policy is a bit complex, and may not all be doable for an organisation of our size, but language diversity is a laudable goal, and something we should work towards. Speaking from a purely financial point of view, it's a wonderful thing to put in our FDC reports and our emails to donors. It will also be much easier to support cy-wp if there's a basic smattering of ideas in Welsh - even if it's just the Activity Plan and Annual Report, it gives our Welsh speakers a good idea of what's happening. I'll talk to Daria about updating the advert, but it might be a bit late now - big GLAMs usually require signoff on job descriptions, and the job, although funded by us, isn't being advertised by us. We'll do what we can, though! Richard Symonds Wikimedia UK 0207 065 0992 Wikimedia UK is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.
