I've just updated the World War I Editathon page on-wiki with the details of half a dozen academics who will be joining us on the 16th of June at the British Library.

http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_I/World_War_I_Editathon 

They have expertise in a fascinating range of subjects, ranging from the military history of the War through to its impact on the Church, medicine, psychiatry, literature and covering geographical areas including Britain and Ireland, the Western Front, Turkey and the Middle East, India and South-East Asia. 

If you've already signed up - have a look at the academics' profiles and areas of interest and see where you might like to pick their brains! (Obviously, you're welcome to come along and edit any subject you want, but it would be great if we could get the most out of the academics who are coming along!)

If you haven't yet signed up - there is still time! (Wikimedia UK can pay travel expenses for Wikimedians who are coming if required, and lunch is included!).

Thanks,

Chris
