I am not sure who has been working on the Scottish and Northern Ireland lists recently. I’ve seen that Andrew has done some work in Scotland, but he may not have enough time to complete this on his own.
Since virtually none of the Scottish lists are up yet, and only about half of the Northern Ireland lists, I have to ask (sorry!) whether it is truly realistic for us to launch the UK competition in those countries. Wales is finished, and although England still needs more work the competition could at least go ahead in many English counties.
I don’t want to be too negative about this, but we have to be sensible. 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.

Most of the heavy lifting so far has been done by Richard N, Katie C and Dev1. What do you all think? Is there time, or do we need to find you some urgent help?
