@Andrew - some reasons why @Jon. Well you'll get quite a bit of push back from the French/German's et al on 3 if not phrased well. They were awake too during the blackout.
Adding in *multi-lingual challenges* is a good idea if you want the popular vote. Anastasis Lvova from Russian wrote 200 articles. This idea was used in Russia, Spain, USA, Netherlands etc etc. We have a map of world showing where QRpedia is used and its pretty global. Getting *registered charity status* was the hard thing to do *the fund raiser* was brilliant because we had this. Our Wikimedian of the year, John Byrne, took leading role with Steve Virgin. We extended the law to do this! We ran an EGM. *Monmouth*. First agreement between a public body and WMF and WMUK. First wiki-town. £1m benefit. Most of the articles were not in English. We did first WMUK work in Wales and befriended the Welsh wicipedia. We now can claim to support two Wikipedias. We have 6 PhD students studying what was done! Steve Virgin crowd sourced P.R, Show them the animation!. *WIR at the British Library*. A decent wage and externally funded. Thats a long way from the first ones where WIR's funded the work themselves in previous year. *GLAM in general* - Lots of events, Coventry, GLAMcamp, Amsterdam, QRpedia hit the news #2 WMUK media story, This Week in GLAM, the idea was used for Wiki loves Monuments photo exhibitions, ARKive *Staff and Office*. Andrew Turvey took leading role here driving it through to make sure we have 5 staff and a spare desk. I know this is covetted and was hard for us as volunteers to do, but not sure it will attract popular votes. *Green for reporting*. We were the only chapter! *Wikimeets* - We are not Wikimedia London (although they did well as well) On 7 June 2012 09:45, Jon Davies <[email protected]> wrote: > Have just received the HMRC registration forms so about to make first Gift > Aid claim. > > For my three.. > > Monmouth - volunteers and innovation > > Opening an office with staff (this is BIG in wiki terms and other chapters > want to follow) > > Leading the movement during the Black-out for eight hours while San > Francisco was asleep. > > Jon > > > > > On Thu, Jun 7, 2012 at 9:38 AM, WereSpielChequers < > [email protected]> wrote: > >> Becoming a registered charity is pretty cool (we were already a charity). >> Have we had our first cheque back from the taxman of money reclaimed under >> the terms of Gift Aid?
