I'm also happy to help with the writing too, as I think I mentioned to Harry on Saturday. I'm always happy to help any of our community who have an idea for a blogpost to edit and publish it.

If you would both like to write up Harry's work on war memorials for the blog, we'd be happy to publish it.

Afternoon,
Harry how did the lightning talk go? Well I hope! Still keen to see some of this written up and on the WMUK blog - I'm happy to help with writing it up if you like?
Also Fae's post reminds me I need to see what capacity OSM has to tag postboxes :D

Hi Harry,
If you are still thinking about it, it would be neat to cover any experiences you have had in use of the projects for mapping, successful or not. I play around with OSM, and have remained impressed at how nicely the editing tools work there. At the 'meta' level we have a big gap between the idea of navigating or discovering by place and what Commons/Wikidata/Wikipedia can provide using integrated methods.
Three to four years ago the UK chapter was encouraging projects around geomapping, but the only place I have noticed innovation recently was last year by Commons enthusiasts on better tools for individual maps; though there's been a lot of discussion (and investment) within Wikidata I have not followed.
Thanks, Fae

There isn't even an *un*written version yet. It's been a long time
since I
stood up and spoke to a room full of Wikimedians. Also, I didn't think anyone else would be interested! Something to occupy me on the journey tomorrow! ;)

Harry - that sounds really good! If you've got a written version
anywhere
and it isn't on the WMUK blog can you make that a thing for those of
us
(like me) who sadly won't make it.
I have voted by proxy though :)

I assumed all the slots would be taken, but I'd be happy to give a
talk
if there's space. Let's go with "War Memorials, Wikipedia, and Why
You
Should Care", just because I appreciate alliteration. (Hi Nicola! If
you
need more detail, please do email me offlist.)
Is there somewhere public we can put these things and/or sign up for
the
event in general? I know it's a crazy Wikipedian thing, but it might
inspire
someone else.
Best,
