Hi all, two things to tell you about. Firstly, this weekend, a few of us
will be going to Conway Hall at 11am before the London meetup to look at
their collection of 19th century pamphlets. They will be doing an editathon
on May 18
<https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/victorian-blogging-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets-59887399825>
to add content based on these newly digitised pamphlets so we are going to
assess the collection and see what can be improved on Wikipedia/Wikidata by
using these sources. If anybody wants to come with us to Conway Hall before
going to the meetup, please let me know.
Secondly, we have the second Wikidata meetup in London on May 2. The
Eventbrite signup is here

up to date I think so please check it out for other events here

I'm also just preparing the Spring newsletter, so if anybody would like to
write about something Wikimedia related for it, please get in touch.
