I was told by a user that you believe in a more inclusionist policy on wikipedia. I am having some trouble with an article some of us have been trying to write regarding a somewhat obscure holiday. If you agree it should be deleted, no big deal, but if you agree it should be included, I would appreciate any help you could offer in ending the AfD debate to keep the article. Thanks.

Venue

Can you have a look at the bid talk page? What do you think? Majorly ^talk 18:28, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

Oxford bid

Many thanks. I'm very keen to support the bid. I'm reasonably familiar with Oxford, but now live in Sheffield and sadly do not expect to be able to help out greatly with fundraising or booking venues, so I thought I'd help out as best I can on the bid page. Warofdreams 23:24, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

No problem - I will do my best! Warofdreams 01:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Coopération

Salut, j'ai beaucoup de difficulté à mobilisé la communauté francophone pour l'organisation de wikimania, et par cela je ne pense pas que mon seul soutient à la candidature de la France peut faire pencher la balance, de même pour un apport de soutient à Oxford 2010. Je me sens un peu seul à vouloir faire bouger le projet. Cependant si je pars étudier à Londre en 2009-2010 je pourrais éventuellement aider ! mik@ni 15:38, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Pour le moment je continue à faire évoluer le embryon francophone, et je verrais par là suite. Merci pour la proposition. mik@ni 16:43, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Je voulais t'informer que la candidature de Montpellier ne sera pas porté officiellement, du fait que le lieux de réception prévu, ne pouvait plus nous héberger. Et personnelement je soutient maintenant la candidature d'Oxford. mik@ni 22:03, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

C'est vraiment dommage, mais merci beaucoup pour ton soutien. ---cfp 23:39, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK v2.0, here we come!

See Wikimedia UK v2.0. I'll start thinking about a spam message. The paragraph at the top of that page is probably a good starting point. --Tango 16:56, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Hi. What brought about Wikimedia UK v2.0 please? I've looked through various edit histories but can't find anything where it was discussed. I'm curious to know about the process that led to v2.0. Cheers, --Rebroad 14:01, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

There was an announcement on the UK mailing list that WM UK v1.0 was going to be dissolved, so a plan to make a v2.0 was begun almost immeadiately (the initial discussions took place on IRC, the page on meta was created soon after). --Tango 14:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

There had in fact been discussions both on and off mailing list about the possibility of forming a new WMUK prior to the announcement that v1.0 was folding, as there were some indications that unless things improved WMUK 1.0's "official chapter" status may have been withdrawn. --14:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

True, but never in any detail, just that the option was there as a last resort. --Tango 14:38, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikimedia UK 2.0 Voting is open :-)

A warm hello to all those signed up as guarantor members of the soon-to-be-rebooted UK chapter! Voting is now open over at meta - there's tons of information online over there, and the mailing list has been very active too. Discussion, comment (and even the inevitable technical gremlins!) are most welcome at the meta pages, otherwise please do send in your vote/s, and tell a friend about the chapter too :-) Privatemusings 22:29, 20 September 2008 (UTC)I'm not actually involved in the election workings, and am just dropping these notes in to help try and spread the word :-) I welcome any or all comment too, but 'election related' stuff really is better suited to the meta pages :-)
