[Wikimediauk-l] Social Entrepreneur awards
Is Wikipedia UK pitching for the HBOS social entrepreneur awards?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Social Entrepreneur awards
Who's been leading the Wikipedia for Schools project in the UK? That would be me I guess Link http://entrepreneurs.bankofscotland.co.uk/social/index.html Deadline Next Monday Biggest challenge for Wikimedia Got to be a completely UK project. Hence the Schools Wikipedia thought. Funny kind of thing which you could pitch lots of ways.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Gift Aid - a further update
Any progress on accepting direct debits? A 2009/1/2 Andrew Turvey ratur...@yahoo.co.uk: Hi all, I spoke to the Charities Unit at the UK Tax Authorities today for an update on our application for Gift Aid. We wrote to them on 23rd November applying for Gift Aid status and they previously said they had a backlog of 6-8 weeks' post to work through so we should expect an answer in approximately mid January. Unfortunately they are now working on mid-October post, meaning the backlog has risen to 10 weeks and we can now expect an answer around 10th February. On a positive note they have confirmed that we can ask people to sign the Gift Aid declaration now, notwithstanding that we haven't received a response, and we will be able to reclaim tax on these donations as soon as we are approved without having to approach the donors again. I'll keep everyone informed. Regards, Andrew Turvey Secretary Wiki UK Limited Wiki UK Limited is a Company Limited by Guarantee registered in England and Wales, Registered No. 6741827.

I spoke to the HMRC Charities Unit today and asked them when we should expect a response. They said they are currently taking between 6-8 weeks so we should expect to hear around mid January. As we are not registered with the Charity Commission their initial response may ask for more information to support out status as a charity; however, I'll keep everyone informed when we hear.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] IWF issues and Wiki UK Ltd
What about calling themselves elected community representatives of UK wikipedia editors?

The WMF's legitimate role in representing the community is equally derived from its (semi) democratic nature. You do not derive your right to speak only from their democratic legitimacy but also from your own. You will not be able to speak on behalf of them (unless specifically mandated), but you are already able to speak on behalf of us for which you require no blessing from them (especially given the blessing is in the post). The problem with that is that no-one is going to care what Wiki UK Ltd. has to say on the issues. They would have to appear as Wikipedia volunteer just as David does, since there is nothing else relevant they could be called. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
Re: [Wikimediauk-l] IWF issues and Wiki UK Ltd
I would not have bothered to vote if I did not feel the board in some way represented the community of which I am part. There is an organization where I am a member for pragmatic reasons but hate every proclamation they make (the AA: I want breakdown cover, not rabid pro-polluting lobbying), but for this kind of thing I think you should feel we want you to speak and we'll let you know if we disagree.

The general consensus among the Board was that we shouldn't really get involved as we didn't yet have chapter status. Individuals were encouraged to do what they could but the Board decided to stay stum itself and leave David and others to take the lead. Is everyone comfortable that that was the right decision? Yes, no doubt about it. Presumably once Wiki UK is recognised as the chapter you would expect it to take more of a lead? Probably. Details need to be decided on a case by case basis, but I think part of WMUK's role is to represent the UK community. That includes speaking for the community (although not the WMF, of course) in these kind of matters. I think WMUK would say the same kind of things as David did, just with a more official looking caption on the screen. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
