Hi everyone,<div><br></div><div>Thought I&#39;d drop you a line to let you know that David Gerard, a UK Wikipedian, is to take part in a webcast debate tomorrow (Wednesday) with the Chartered Institute of Public Relations. The debate will examine the relationship between the PR industry and the Wikipedia community and also touch on the proposed best practice guidelines for PR. These guidelines are in draft and have been on the WMUK wiki for debate, discussion and editing. <a href="http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Draft_best_practice_guidelines_for_PR">Get involved in the conversation here</a>. </div>
<div><br></div><div>The debate will be live from 5pm BST on Wednesday at   <a href="http://www.cipr.co.uk/ciprtv/108058/the-wikipedia-debate-will-two-communities-collaborate-or-collide-">http://www.cipr.co.uk/ciprtv/108058/the-wikipedia-debate-will-two-communities-collaborate-or-collide-</a>  and you can submit questions for the panel in advance, either by using the submission form on the page or on Twitter using the hashtag #CIPRtv</div>
