Thanks :-) The upshot is that we now have basic Category A lists for both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Glasgow is mostly cleaned up, but I only scratched the surface of Edinburgh; I can finish it this weekend, all being well. Still to be done for both pages: * Introductory "survey" * Coordinates for monuments * Lots more pictures (I only did the ones with obvious WP articles) Coordinates already exist in the "comprehensive" lists so could perhaps be copied over by a bot. Any volunteers to try coding something? Next task will be to link together all the Cat A and "comprehensive by parish" lists for Scotland, but the key structure for WLM is at least in place. A.

It will look bad if we launch in Scotland and Northern Ireland only to have to admit that there is no way to upload from Wikipedia. One of the main purposes of the competition is to get new editors, and they will never able able to contribute if they have no easy access to the upload wizard from a Wikipedia page. >>> >>> COULD I PLEASE ASK THAT EVERYONE WHO IS ABLE TO WORK ON THE UK LISTS OVER THE NEXT WEEK MAKE THEMSELVES KNOWN HERE, AND INDICATE WHAT MIGHT BE DOABLE OVER THAT PERIOD? >>> >>> I am cross-posting to the International list as well, in case anyone is able to provide some final assistance for us. >>> >>> Michael -- - Andrew Gray andrew.gray(a)dunelm.org.uk
