Yes, no doubt about it. > Presumably once Wiki UK is recognised as the chapter you would expect > it to take more of a lead? Probably. Details need to be decided on a case by case basis, but I think part of WMUK's role is to represent the UK community. That includes speaking for the community (although not the WMF, of course) in these kind of matters. I think WMUK would say the same kind of things as David did, just with a more official looking caption on the screen. _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediau...@wikimedia.org http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_UK http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l
