Referencing is tricky - the best reference for WMUK's involvement would probably be pages like: https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Backstage_Pass and I'm not sure WMUK's wiki counts as a reliable source. ;-) Some of the history's never been recorded. Either way, I have a COI so couldn't add this - the same as I can't edit the Editathon article to talk about the conception/first ever editathon under that name back in 2011 at the British Library...
