Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Picture request: Urbanora House, Wardour Street, London

[WereSpielChequers]

Hi Andy,

I have searched the geograph and uploaded some "recent" ones of Wardour
street from there that weren't migrated from commons a decade ago.

The best I can do for you is
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Las_Vegas_American_Pool,_Wardour_Street_(geograph_2094904).jpg
but for someone looking up and with a Zoom you need someone who is able to
go into London. That won't be me for a while I'm afraid.

[Wikimediauk-l] Picture request: Urbanora House, Wardour Street, London

[Andy Mabbett]

I hope you are all keeping well.

Urbanora House, at 89-91 Wardour StreetUK , London, is significant in
the story of UK the movie industry, but we have, apparently, no
picture of it on Commons.

We also need a close-up of the "Urbanora " branding at the top of the
building, which may need a long lens.

Does anyone have such images, or can someone take them, once lockdown
is over, please?

The non-free images on these pages give an idea of what I mean:

[Wikimediauk-l] Survey about the enforcement of the Universal Code of Conduct

[Lucy Crompton-Reid]

Dear all

As many of you will be aware, the Wikimedia Foundation board of trustees
recently ratified the text of the new Universal Code of Conduct and are now
consulting on the enforcement of the Code. The Trust and Safety team has
asked me to circulate a survey regarding enforcement pathways, via the
message below.

As some of the questions relate to your affiliate's policies and bylaws, I
thought it might be helpful to share a link to our Safe Space Policy:

https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Safe_Space_Policy

Please note that when the survey refers to 'members' it does not mean
members of the charity, but volunteers who are involved in events and other
Wikimedia UK programme activities.

Any questions, please let me know. I know the team would be keen to hear
responses as soon as possible but certainly *by the end of March. *

Best wishes
Lucy

===Start of Survey Message ===

We would like to invite you to take the following survey. We value your
input about the UCoC Enforcement Pathways. Thank you for your cooperation:
*https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScXmeuAJ718Jzqefxrudc0Z5LxUMgqIm129lDb1turHvyhbNQ/viewform?usp=pp_url

*Notice*: "This survey will be conducted via a third-party service, which
may subject it to additional terms. For more information on privacy and
data-handling, see the survey privacy statement <

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Women's History Month interviews

[Roger Bamkin]

Thanks for the reply Katie. Pleased to see you have thought about it. It is
so frequently sold as a "women's issue" as its an easy narrative to
conflate our editor bias with systemic information bias. But its counter
productive IMO.

cheers
Roger
