I would oppose any support from Wikimedia UK for targeted use of the
Wikipedia main page to increase the visibility of projects like
Gibraltarpedia.
Beyond that, I believe it would also be extremely unwise for WMUK to offer
such support.

I perfectly understand that things are a bit more complicated when it
comes to money and formal agreements, but after the wonderful success in
Monmouth, it would be a shame if the excellent work going on in Gibraltar
continued to be overshadowed by the controversies about conflicts of
interest and ownership of QRpedia. I think WMUK could do quite a bit to be
seen to be supportive, and I think recognition of the project from formal
entities within the movement (such as chapters) can go a long way towards
changing the "default narrative" (to pinch Stevie's phrase).
All that said, I'm very pleased to see that this has finally been resolved
and (it seems) with a minimum of acrimony. Hopefully all those involved
will be happy with what they have contributed to the Wikimedia movement and
will continue their involvement with it for a long time to come.

What we had is best described as "a delay in agreeing terms for the
donation" or similar.

charset="iso-8859-1" This is something I'm liaising on with the WMF. The
original copy was put together jointly between WMF and WMUK and I'm keen
that any revisions are accepted by both sides. I'm hopeful that we can get
this fixed today. Thanks, Stevie On 9 February 2013 20:40, Andy Mabbett <
