any thing can be QR coded its a matter of find a valid association to an article, JS Battye library in Perth would be associated with , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Battye or even https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J_S_Battye_Library additionally as its contained within the State library there is https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Library_Building or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Library_of_Western_Australia add to that there a number of busts in the Library itself which could be QR coded along with each of the meeting rooms which are named for regions of WA.
The same would be the case in Sydney with the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales which though currently a C class article looks sufficient to be given a run at GA... then there Mitchell, Dixson, and Macquarie outside theres the Flinders statue and his cat behind. State library of SA itself then theres Mortlock, Jervios or even John Jefferson Bray who despite having an article isnt even linked(oops) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Jefferson_Bray I know this an easy exercise for me having done it with Freo, when an article is written every time you create a blue you create a potential QR code link as well. Dont write off Libraries as being unworthy of QR codes with our relationships with libraries they are good place to both start the research and to look for potential QR codes. Every library has a foundation stone and/or an official opening, there is a plaque you can QR codes these to show why the people there are given such an honor, even the lowly politican that turns up to every door opening is notable On 4 February 2014 14:15, Janet Reid <[email protected]> wrote: > On 4 February 2014 16:33, Toby Hudson <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hi Janet, nice to "meet" you, >> >> No, there's no documentation yet apart from this proposal >> http://www.wikimedia.org.au/wiki/Proposal:QR_codes_GA_articles >> >> I'm not quite sure that libraries are the target audience or stakeholder >> for this project though.
