• This month I can't make it at the beginning, but hope to be there by 2PM. WereSpielChequers (talk) 07:50, 17 October 2018 (UTC)
• Moved to London recently but unfortunately missed the last meetup by about a day. Seriously keen on making this one. Insertcleverphrasehere (talk) 06:33, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
• Almost certainly. Thryduulf (talk: meta · en.wp · wikidata) 21:38, 23 October 2018 (UTC)
• I like to think so. Leutha (talk) 22:10, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
• It's Armistice Day and I'd expect this to be a big deal as it's the centenary of the actual Armistice. There will be events in central London like the torch ceremony and I'll try to get to those using the meetup as a staging point and base. In 2014, I got some good photos of the Spectra and Blood Swept Lands installations and will be looking out similar photo opportunities. Andrew D. (talk) 20:25, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

• I'll be around after 7pm; if nobody is about, I'll head for the Tower of London events instead. Ritchie333 (talk) 12:10, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

  Ritchie333 Must have just missed you. What a shame. Next time perhaps. — Insertcleverphrasehere ^{(or here)} 20:43, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

@Insertcleverphrasehere: Yeah, I spent most of the evening stuck on trains around South London because the route I wanted was closed - I got there just as the last people were leaving at 8, had a pint with Clem then went home. Ritchie333 (talk) 21:56, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

May be attending

• Hopefully I'll make it this month. Joseph2302 (talk) 10:41, 15 October 2018 (UTC)
• Maybe, maybe not. Incidentally this meetup is not currently in the wathclist geonotices, although three other London events are there. Amakuru (talk) 12:40, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

  @Amakuru: No, it's not in the geonotices: in the past, I would put up a geonotice two or three weeks in advance of the meetup, like this. Editing w:MediaWiki:Gadget-geonotice-list.js requires the w:WP:INTADMIN right, but recently all admins on English Wikipedia (myself included) have been stripped of this right, with the exception of a select few (originally five, now 13), so I can't update geonotices any more, and instead need to submit a formal edit request. I can't even fix simple typos made by others, it's very annoying. --Redrose64 (talk; at English Wikipedia) 13:18, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

  I've submitted the request, let's see if it goes through: they complained about the last one. --Redrose64 (talk; at English Wikipedia) 13:33, 4 November 2018 (UTC)

  The Hong Kong meetup was listed without an issue, so I'm sure a geonotice for the London area will be fine. @Redrose64: Have you tried en:Wikipedia:Interface administrators' noticeboard WhisperToMe (talk) 15:13, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
