Hi all,
The press release has now gone out, and is now on the WMUK blog.
There has already been some interest in it from a national newspaper.
Congratulations and thank you to all that worked on putting it
together; you've done a fantastic job.
We now need to make sure that we follow up - and make these works
available on Wikisource etc. as soon as we can tomorrow. Who can help
with this?
Brian: did you get anywhere with getting Stephen Fry etc. to record
some of the works of Yeat to go onto Wikip/media?

Just as a follow-up to this, it's fantastic that these press releases
are being put together - and I hope that this continues going forward
- but it's important to remember that, if it goes out with the
Wikimedia UK name on it, it needs to have board approval. Please
don't start sending out draft press releases before that approval
exists.
In this case, it's too late, so we'll have to live with it. But
please don't do this again...
In terms of the content of the press release, there still seem to be
some outstanding questions. Andrew posted on the talk page 5 days
ago, pointing out a few things, which it would be good to discuss.
The central point is: are we absolutely positive that the facts are
completely accurate? Also, note that the press release as it stands
is lacking a headline and a date.
Steve's also made some suggested changes, which I've put on the talk
page.
Thanks,
Mike

Ideally, it needs board approval before going out, to make sure that
the whole board's happy with it (as it WMUK's name on it). I'm hoping
that we can get at tonight's board meeting. If we can hold off until
then, that would be great...

OK, striking while the iron is hot with sending this out to London
Review of Books, New Statesman, The Spectator as discussed. This
will be
not embargoed, i.e. for immediate use, and otherwise as it
stands on
the wiki. Over to others to protect a definitive wiki version,
circulate
further, progress the other stuff that has been proposed.

Apart from:

it's very good.

Is this

now approved? Can I send it to the three magazines I mentioned?
