Barracks on 25 Nov-EE has volunteered to give the talk. Collins Barracks

have been uploaded.

Dear Wikimedia Ireland subscribers,
As you know from my previous emails, I will be attending and volunteering
at Wikimania next month. I've been in contact with some of the organisers
and staff in the UK and they asked me to pass on details of some of the
meetups that are happening during the event.
The main one that might be of interest is the Celtic Languages Meetup
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Languages_Meetup>, as
Irish is a smaller language on Wikipedia you may also be interested in
the Smaller
Languages Meetup
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smaller_Languages_Meetup>. Both
may have some over overlap in the attendees but should address different
issues, problems or inspiration!
Kind Regards,
Rebecca
Síntiúsóirí Wikimedia Éireann a cháirde,
Mar is eol duit ó mo ríomhphost roimhe seo, beidh mé ag freastal ar
agus a obair
dheonach ag Wikimania an mhí seo chugainn. Tá mé i dteagmháil le roinnt de
na lucht eagraithe agus an fhoireann sa Ríocht Aontaithe agus d'iarr siad
dom chun pas a fháil ar mionsonraí de roinnt de na cruinnithe a atá ag tarlú le
linn na hócáide.
Is é an ceann is mó a d'fhéadfadh a bheith inspéise Bhrú na dTeangacha
Ceilteacha
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Celtic_Languages_Meetup>, mar í
an Ghaeilge teanga atá níos lú ar Wikipedia Is féidir go mbeadh suim agat i
Bhrú na dTeangacha Níos Lú
<https://wikimania2014.wikimedia.org/wiki/Smaller_Languages_Meetup> freisin. Is
féidir an dá bhfuil roinnt thar forluí i an lucht freastail ach ba
chóir aghaidh
a thabhairt ar shaincheisteanna éagsúla, fadhbanna nó inspioráid!
Beir bua agus beannacht,
Rebecca

fabulous ad to be placed in the Heritage Week book. They provided us with a
list of county Heritage Offices. SB will send out an email inquiring about
adding county-run monuments to the list.

Wikipedia.

-
We discussed how we would be notified if someone uploaded a picture of
our monuments. Wikimedia UK has links on Wikipedia which fill in some of
the Meta data for each monument. Over the next few weeks we will explore
