Re: [Wikimediauk-l] [Wikimediaindia-l] Translation Help for WikiConference India
Just read the article; it's great. And what a fantastic collaboration! Also, this specific article can be shown to GLAM institutions in India as an example of what is possible.

A Bengali version would be fantastic. It is currently in 13 different languages which you can see listed in the languages side-bar. As this is the key case study for the VA we would love to have as many languages as possible and some of the current stub class language variations double checked for accuracy, for example Welsh needs some help. The English version is currently nominated for a DYK and has an outstanding GA nomination (strong hint to :en regulars).

[Wikimediauk-l] Science Online (SOLO) writeathon/event?
I've just been talking to Daniel Mietchen who is a Wikimedian in Residence for Open Science. This position has just been profiled on the Wikimedia blog, [1] and will be discussed in next week's Signpost. He has suggested that Wikimedia UK could perhaps have an editathon or event around the Science Online conference in September in London. In addition people may want to attend the event to represent Wikimedia UK.

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Phone hacking, a Wikinews special
Now that the barndoor is open it appears that most MPs and journalists can now not only see it but they can write load and long pieces about it. Question: Did they know about all this before? Were they ignorant? Were they scared? Or did they just not see it?

Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Phone hacking, a Wikinews special
My money is on scared. And, in many, many cases I'd still bet that this is the case. Over the last 6+ years the only people kicking this issue back into the sunlight have been Private Eye. At least two police investigations have been closed in an unseemly manner, with claims everything was already known. Given recent revelations, this is obviously not the case. Police have seemingly been bribed, blackmailed, or otherwise compromised. Ditto for our elected _servants_ in Westminster. I can't wait to see what comes next; will The Dirty Digger need to fall off the back of a yacht when the FBI and Australian Federal Police investigations ramp up? Will half the UK's politicians be forced into early retirement on their index-linked final salary pensions that resemble those they've taken away from the majority of UK public servants? Pass the popcorn! I'll take this over Corrie anyday.
