I've been a consistent attendee of the last few London meetups and have attended many more before that and this first time I've seen or heard of allegations of theft at London meetups. I do wonder who this "well known Wikipedian" is intended to be and who the "witnesses" are exactly, but I'm assuming good faith, and I agree with Jimmy and others that this is ultimately a matter for the police.
I have left a note at the talk page of the next planned London meetup so people are aware of it: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Meetup/London/80 Kind regards, Christopher User: CT Cooper https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:CT_Cooper https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CT_Cooper https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:CT_Cooper -----Original Message----- From: Fæ [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 13 March 2014 19:23 To: UK Wikimedia mailing list Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] Allegation of thefts at London wikimeets Re: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=User_talk%3AJimbo_Wales&diff=599455648&oldid=599454347 The allegation on Jimmy Wales' soapbox is the first I had heard of any problems on any channel. Was anything reported officially or is this subtle trolling? I know that the current group-think is that discussion should be limited to Good News stories and positive PR, but if there have been thefts then a warning to attendees to take care would have been nice.
