Anyone in Ealing?
by Chris Keating 06 Jan '18

06 Jan '18

Well, you probably don't need to actually be in Ealing, but I've been passed a query from someone working at a GLAM who in their spare time is trying to improve Ealing-related articles and who is confused category structure for articles related to Ealing. Shout if you can lend a sympathetic hand via email :) Chris

Fwd: Free Parliamentary event - RecordDNA – developing an international research agenda for the future digital evidence base
by Andy Mabbett 04 Jan '18

04 Jan '18

Can anyone get to this? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Elizabeth Lomas <e.lomas(a)ucl.ac.uk> Date: 24 November 2017 at 09:34 Subject: Free Parliamentary event - RecordDNA – developing an international research agenda for the future digital evidence base To: FREEDOM-OF-INFORMATION(a)jiscmail.ac.uk There are just a few additional spaces left on this event due to last minute cancellations. This free event aims to share the findings of the RecordDNA international research network. These include the ideas gathered from multiple disciplinary stakeholders – both practitioners and academics – about the components of a digital record and their vision of the ‘ideal’ useable digital evidence base. The key aim is to gather further input about the research and practice needed to deliver the vision in order to finalise a research agenda. This work will inform policy makers and build future research partnerships. The task is significant and challenging. The RecordDNA project team has therefore engaged people around the world in workshops and crowdsourcing activities. This is the final event at which you can hear about the work and add your ideas to the question ‘what research and development is needed?’ The event will be held next to Westminster Hall, UK Parliament 11-1pm on 30 November 2017. To secure one of the limited number of places register at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/recorddna-developing-an-international-resear… For further information RecordDNA website: https://recorddna.wordpress.com/ Dr Elizabeth Lomas e.lomas(a)ucl.ac.uk Professor Julie McLeod julie.mcleod(a)northumbria.ac.uk -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

BBC Radio Times, 1930s
by Andy Mabbett 01 Jan '18

01 Jan '18

Happy New Year! The BBC have put image-scans the entire run of the Radio Times magazine, for the 1930s, online, as part of the BBC Genome Project. There is a mixture of programme listings (also digitised as text by the Genome Project), magazine articles (not as text), specially-commissioned artwork, advertisements, and photographs, with mixed copyright status. I've started a discussion on Commons: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Village_pump#BBC_Radio_Times to decide how we can best make use of this content. I'll also notify Wikisource. Your comments, and contributions to the work needing to be done, will be welcome there. -- Andy Mabbett @pigsonthewing http://pigsonthewing.org.uk

Dear all Wikimania 2018 is being held in Cape Town, South Africa from 18th to 22nd July. Scholarships are available from the Foundation, with a closing date of 22nd January 2018. Applicants will be able to apply for a partial or full scholarship. A full scholarship will cover the cost of an individual's round-trip travel, shared accommodation, and conference registration fees as arranged by the Wikimedia Foundation. A partial scholarship will cover conference registration fees and shared accommodation. Applicants will be rated using a pre-determined selection process and selection criteria established by the Scholarship Committee and the Wikimedia Foundation, who will determine which applications are successful. To learn more about Wikimania 2018 scholarships, please visit: https://wikimania2018.wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships To apply for a scholarship, fill out the multi-language application form on: https://scholarships.wikimedia.org/apply It is highly recommended that applicants review all the material on the Scholarships page and the associated FAQ ( https://wikimania2018. wikimedia.org/wiki/Scholarships/FAQ ) before submitting an application. If you have any questions, please contact: wikimania-scholarships@ wikimedia.org or leave a message at: https://wikimania2018. wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Scholarships. The location for Wikimania 2018 makes scholarships rather prohibitive for Wikimedia UK, so I would encourage you to apply through the Foundation's scholarship process!

We need your opinion: Invitation to survey about English Wikipedia Administrators Noticeboard/Incidents
by Sydney Poore 20 Dec '17

20 Dec '17

Hello Wikimedians :-) The Wikimedia Foundation Support and Safety team, along with the Anti-Harassment Tools Team, is conducting a survey on the use of the English Wikipedia Administrator Noticeboard/Incidents to handle conflicts and harassment. It’s the first survey of it’s kind and is important information for future decisions about improvements. We are trying to get as many diverse opinions and voices as possible. In addition to the people who use it often, we need to hear from people who post on it rarely but read the board frequently. I want to make sure that you folks who edit English Wikipedia know about the survey. And I encourage you to participate if you have some experience with the noticeboard. Here is the link to sign up and more information about it. It is possible to request the link privately by email instead of signing up on wiki. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Community_health_ini tiative_on_English_Wikipedia/Research_on_dispute_resolution_ and_harassment/ANI_Survey_signup Let me know if I can answer any questions. Warm regards, Sydney -- Sydney Poore Community Advocate, Wikimedia Foundation Support and Safety team; Anti-harassment tool team
