Re: [Wikimediauk-l] Ockham Blue Plaque

Just noticed this posting on the Wikipedia @ 10 website. Is anyone interested in taking this forward? A Wikipedia drinks reception sounds like a great way to involve a new group of people in the things we do, although 10th April is a little close to the Annual Conference & AGM on 16th. http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/London#Ockham_Blue_Plaque Ockham Blue Plaque Hi everyone. I am shortly applying to the City of London for a 'blue plaque' to be installed at the site of the old Greyfriars monastery on London Wall, by Newgate Street, to commemorate the great English philosopher William of Ockham. I have a long list of distinguished (some not so distinguished!) philosophers from all over the world who are prepared to support this. I am not sure whether the process will be finished by April 10 2011. Even if not, it would be great to add to the London Greyfriars article on Wikipedia to include some facts about Ockham's period of residence there (when he wrote some of his greatest works). And I am sure that Merrill Lynch (current occupiers of the site) would be happy to host drinks, perhaps with a Wikipedia connection, on April 10. Also the article on Ockham himself could do with a lot of work. Would anyone be happy to help with this? I could post material here, and people could paste it into the relevant articles.
