I am not sure who has been working on the Scottish and Northern Ireland lists 
recently.  I’ve seen that Andrew has done some work in Scotland, but he may not 
have enough time to complete this on his own.

Since virtually none of the Scottish lists are up yet, and only about half of 
the Northern Ireland lists, I have to ask (sorry!) whether it is truly 
realistic for us to launch the UK competition in those countries.  Wales is 
finished, and although England still needs more work the competition could at 
least go ahead in many English counties.

I don’t want to be too negative about this, but we have to be sensible.  It 
will look bad if we launch in Scotland and Northern Ireland only to have to 
admit that there is no way to upload from Wikipedia.  One of the main purposes 
of the competition is to get new editors, and they will never able able to 
contribute if they have no easy access to the upload wizard from a Wikipedia 
page.

Could I please ask that everyone who is able to work on the UK lists over the 
next week make themselves known here, and indicate what might be doable over 
that period?

I am cross-posting to the International list as well, in case anyone is able to 
provide some final assistance for us.
