Yup, sometimes innovations are of a new sort.

Thanks Charles.

Though I am aware of all the projects you list, I don't see any as
being especially related to the UK, and it was those UK events we used
to drive for ourselves that I was thinking of.

In fact it's great that all the initiatives mentioned are
international, pretty much the sort of global view that I have when
thinking about current and future Wikimedia LGBT+ projects. Maybe
that's an improvement, though it does effectively bypass our old ideas
about the value of local wiki meets and so forth.

That a bit "où sont les neiges d'antan?" Roger Bamkin and the Women in Red
project are going great guns. John Cummings is quietly busy at UNESCO getting
things released into the wild. Wikidata has prompted innovations such as
Histropedia, to give just one UK example, and on the educational front Magnus
Manske last week made a breakthrough with his WikiBase site Comprende! (see
http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=446), which has got the WMF interested.

Thanks Harry. Interesting to check through the images. One of my
uploads is still on the page :-)

The Geograph shot of the Warkworth gate is surprising to see, I would
have thought someone would have uploaded a better quality version from
the same angle by now.

It's a bit sad to remember that the Monmouth event was years ago. It
would be nice to see the same level of innovation and excitement again
within our social group of active Wikimedians.

[Wikimediauk-l] Monnow Bridge (symbol of Monmouthpedia) is at FAC

[Harry Mitchell]

Those who were involved in Monmouthpedia, or indeed anyone else, might be
interested to know that the enwiki article on the Monnow Bridge is being
reviewed for featured article status. If you're interested, the review is
at
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Monnow_Bridge/archive1
