We can confirm that Roger Bamkin, an ex-Director of Wikimedia UK, is one of two individuals who continue to provide advice on the production of the QR codes and training for volunteer contributors to Gibraltar's Wikipedia site. These two individuals were also involved in Monmouth's Wikipedia project. The final agreement with them is being finalised and does not include them being paid to write or edit articles on Wikipedia. A letter of intent between all parties was signed in June.

Doug Taylor, Vice-Chair of Wikimedia UK said "WMUK have been keen to be involved with this project ever since it was announced at Wikimania. The agreement that the Gibraltar Government has with the Wikimedia Foundation ensures that there is a clear legal basis for this collaboration. Roger Bamkin and John Cummings remain as the Wikimedia UK members who managed to get the accolade of "World's coolest project" for their last project in Wales. I wish them similar success as they aim to "bridge Europe and Africa".

Sorry that it has taken most of the day to provide the above.

Regards,

Stuart
