Sorry, your statement is confusing. Your last email appeared to indicate that no checks had been made and that I should do it myself if I had any questions. Apart from looking at the BBM and BTWSC websites (which appear unmaintained for several years), precisely what checks did Wikimedia UK ensure before holding a joint event in 2013 and promoting another in 2014. For example did you or one of your employees check whether they are registered at Companies House or ask whether the two organizations comply with UK regulations for not for profits? I would like to know before duplicating your work.
