Dear all,
Just a general comment from me - to keep communications flowing prodigiously. What with
all the outreach that's going on, it's important areas of overlap e.g. between,
say the Campus Ambassadors program working with food tech students and another possible
initiative going on not attached to one program.
If we share experience and knowledge then, guided by the board, we can make sure we
don't make the same mistakes and we deal with external groups effectively.
Kind Regards,
Vinesh

Tom,
You must thank JoBrodie for this link telling how ... Andrew Wadge, Chief Scientist for
the Food Standards Agency has noticed how relaible enwp is and asks to "hear if you
(meaning his workers) have systems in place to ensure the accuracy of ... interest areas
on Wikipedia."
I don't think we made this happen ..... although maybe thanks to Mike Peel who made
the Cancer day work and that seems to be what brought this recommendation.
Do you want to see if you get a reply to your post? I'm sure we could send around
someone to see if we can help him, help our cause
Thanks
Roger

The Chief Scientist at the Food Standards Agency is interested in
getting them to edit Wikipedia.
Anyone at WMUK want to contact them or is there stuff going on behind
the scenes I don't know about? ;-)
Anyway, I've posted a comment (awaiting approval) with some basic
information about COI and the Organizations FAQ tempered with some be
bold, don't worry, be happy stuff.
I did actually upload a picture from the Food Standards Agency website
to Commons under the Open Government Licence, but it is neither food
nor standards related. It is a photo of the Scottish netball team
which they sponsor:
