Great to see this interest! I also have editors ready to translate when we have some improved articles.
We have the Archaeological Society "signed up". They tell me that we can "have the lot" - they are convinced that CC by SA beats (c) 2011.. I've included John on the list to make sure he knows and he can hopefully forward the requests. I know its not very easy but it is possible. As far as interpretation goes. Derby Museum used the rule that if the article had a link then it was relevant. So a bio of an artist who cad stuff in [[Derby Museum]] was relevant.... So I think the rebellion is named after the Duke of Monmouth - ie tricky to link to [[Monmouth, Wales]] John is looking for someone who can do some grome-ish stuff. He wants to allow editors to claim points for writing articles. There is a proven system at the GLAM/Derby page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/Derby/Multilingual_Challenge>. Does someone fancy moving the important bits to the MonmouthpediA page<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/MonmouthpediA>and zeroing everything so we are ready to allow editors to claim points etc.??? Armoured Car, and Ship - Yes we should be able to link the QR codes Monmouth Castle - Go for it! There are lots of ideas on MonmouthpediA pages. Some are people who may be local to you in fame but born in Monmouth. If we can make a new or 5x expanded article then I'll get it on DYK - has to be done in <5 days MonmouthpediA is to be on Radio 4 on Tuesday - be nice to say we are getting into 2nd gear Thanks for the interest Happy New Year!
