Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Earth hour in English Wikipedia
To: Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
In Wikimedia Mexico we are working with the World Wildlife Fund to
improvemexican
biodiversity contents. They asked me to seek contact with a chapter /
editor who
wants to work their contents on the upcoming "Earth Hour" in the English
Wikipedia.
If someone wants to work on this theme, I can contact with WWF staff.
Regards!

Hi all,
I've started a topic on wiki at the water
cooler<http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Water_cooler#High_quality_photographs_for_Wiki…>
about
how we can work together to consistently improve the quality and breadth of
photographs covering our events.
I'll add a caveat that I'm no great shakes at photography, so I'm up for
working together to learn from each other and get the best out of our
activity programme in terms of images :)
Feel free to reply here or on wiki - and thanks!

Dear Jon
Our Members' Photography Competition 2013 is now in full swing and
there's under a month to go until entries closes. Winners in each
category will receive top of the range cameras and will have their photos
exhibited at Evolve 2013<http://mxm.mxmfb.com/rsps/ct/c/486/r/876772/l/338840>
.
We've received some fantastic entries so far - here's a slideshow of a
selection <http://mxm.mxmfb.com/rsps/ct/c/486/r/876772/l/338841>.
Photos are a great way to demonstrate and publicise your work and the
issues your service users face. PhotoVoice recently ran two training days
to give members practical advice, and to help build their confidence and
skills in the technical and ethical use of digital photography. A seven
point guide and three free
videos<http://mxm.mxmfb.com/rsps/ct/c/486/r/876772/l/338842>from the
training are now available.
There's still plenty of time to get snapping so do send in an entry if you
can. All the details you need are on the competition
webpage<http://mxm.mxmfb.com/rsps/ct/c/486/r/876772/l/338843>
.
Best wishes,

My role as as Wikipedian in Residence at Staffordshire Archives and
Heritage Service comes to an end next week (though I shall continue an
informal relationship with them as a volunteer). As that ends, I shall
become part time Wikipedian In Residence at Queen Street Textile Mill
Museum, Burnley <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Street_Mill> for a
few weeks.

Dear All,
I have organised for Wikimedia UK to be present at the Southbank's Women of
the World festival (London) on Saturday 9 March to coincide with
International Women's Day. It is only a 30 minute slot to talk about women
on Wikipedia and motivate people to edit. Richard N and Stevie are
preparing a leaflet that will be key to getting people involved - it will
be distributed around Southbank and should get people enthusiastic. But if
there is someone that would like to join me on the 9th do get in touch with
me by 5th March - I could take one person to join me for the presentation.
Thank you,
Daria
