Does the wikimediaie list have a moderator?
by David Gerard 24 Apr '12

https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaie The only mod address is wikimediaie(a)lists.wikimedia.org ... The question came up because there was a message from Stevie Benton (media guy at Wikimedia UK) about a press call from Ireland, stuck in the mod queue. It occurs to me there might be all manner of things in the mod queue ... and having a moderator is probably good. (I'll happily be a mod of last resort, but someone actually in .ie would be better.) - d.

From Wikimedia UK - media opportunity

Hello Wikimedia Ireland, I hope you're all well. I write from Wikimedia UK to offer a media opportunity. I received the below email this week from Today FM, a Dublin-based radio station, and their Ray D'Arcy show: "Hi there, I hope this finds you well. I'm getting in touch from Today FM in Dublin with an interesting question from a listener! It is as follows: "Hi Ray and Gang!! Can you fix something for me on fix it friday.....how does wikipedia update its information so fast?! i was watching the aintree grand national and daryl jacob won the race. I wanted to see how old he was so I typed his name into google and got the Wikipedia link and when I opened it they had on his page that he was the winner of the 2012 aintree grand national! literally 2 minutes after he won the race! HOW DO THEY DO IT!" We're hoping to have an answer for Friday's show (9am to 12)" I've been in touch with the station to suggest that we could get an Irish Wikimedian on the show to talk a little about what Wikipedia is, how it works ad how people can get involved. This is something that I think could be fun for whoever takes part and a good chance to highlight the work of the movement in Ireland and its volunteers. They're looking for someone to be on the show between about 10am and 10.30 tomorrow. Sorry for the short notice but they only just got back to me. If you're keen to be involved, drop me a line and we'll work out the details. Here's a link to the show's web page for those interested. http://www.todayfm.com/Shows/Weekdays/Ray-DArcy-Show/Overview.aspx Many thanks, Stevie -- Stevie Benton Communications Organiser Wikimedia UK +44 (0) 20 7065 0993

Fwd: Possible media opportunity - Today FM (Ireland)

Stevie Benton from Wikimedia UK <stevie.benton(a)wikimedia.org.uk> got a call from Today FM (Ireland) looking for someone this afternoon if possible. I can do it, but it'd be much better if someone in Ireland did. Could someone please get Stevie's email out of the mod queue? Thanks :-) - d.
