Arkansas is considered one of the "fly-over" states. Good luck locating a
Wikipedian somewhere around there, not to mention a Wikimedian.

G'day
I have been contacted by an active Wikiproject Spam editor for help
(because I've recently been working with an editor here in Perth in a
similar situation), to talk to a user who appears to be linked to the
Encyclopedia of Arkansas. The user is just adding links to EOA in the
external links section of related articles, another user has asked for the
links not to be blacklisted as its a good source.
In these case the Australian chapter reaches out such editors as a personal
discussion over a coffee here works very effectively in turning this type
of contact into potential programmatic activities. Being just couple miles
too far way I was looking for someone closer who would be willing to
followup with this on a local level. As I said in my offer of help I'm
happy to support and advise them that goes for who ever takes up the reigns
but the important part of developing this is impractical from here.

already checked meta there isnt any chapters close by, nearest user group
is in North Carolina with a smaller area of interest, and the only
experienced editors(10,000+ edits) listed on the en Wikiproject Arkansas
havent been active in the last 6 months
