I think thats one of the things we are finding out. So far we have lost three articles to non-notability. Some others may be merged in time. But its not lack of articles.
There is an open invite to help today and to just attend the celebrations tomorrow. I can't get over walking around a town that has 60 banners saying its working with Wikimedia UK. Press coverage at 3 tomorrow in the Shire Hall, but come and try some of the Wikipedia trails around the town and marvel at the Welcome to Monmouth signs saying "Worlds First Wikipedia Town". Hope to see you tomorrow.
