Re: [Wikimediauk-l] BBC Newsnight tonight! re: flagged revs
Also watched it with interest, I was also shaking my head when she said that free editing had been a 'mirage' all along. I think the point that this was just a short trial and was not something that would come quickly was not emphasised enough, but meh. But yes, I certainly would not be brave enough to step up and talk about FlaggedRevs. Great work, David. :) - Chris On Tue, Aug 25, 2009 at 11:24 PM, Thomas Dalton thomas.dal...@gmail.comwrote: Well done, David, good work! It's a pity you weren't able to emphasise the this is better than what we had before point more, but at least you managed to mention it. However, it sounded like the plan was to have all BLPs flag protected, but I don't see that on the description of the trial. In fact, it doesn't seem to mention it having anything to do with BLPs other than BLP being one of the policies an article needs to satisfy to be flagged. ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

We should have pictures of every MP and Lord, at the very least. We have quite a lot, but we really need complete coverage.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Wikimania Bid
What channel is this irc meeting in? - Chris On Fri, Mar 27, 2009 at 6:23 PM, Thomas Dalton thomas.dal...@gmail.comwrote: 2009/3/27 joseph seddon life_is_bitter_sw...@hotmail.co.uk: Heya guys. I managed to get the opportunity to send an email. I havnt been able to get to the bid page and am unsure whether I am going to be able to get access before the deadline so if people could look over the page once more and do what work they feel is needed. Can I also remind people about the irc meeting with the jurors on sunday at 2000 (that should include DST). A good turnout would be much appreciated. Any concerns that people have that I could answer before the meeting so that we are all on the same wavelength should be posted to this list. Hi! We had a meeting about the bit on Tuesday - you were greatly missed! No-one knew quite where you had got to with accommodation - did you find a college (or colleges) with room for us? If not, we're going to have to claim that having a roof over delegates' heads is a minor issue that will be sorted out after the deadline! ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org ___ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org
