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...

Thanks,
