Hi all,
I've just started the press release page for the Britain Loves
Wikipedia event at:
http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_releases/Britain_Loves_Wikipedia
This includes a whole host of cool information (at least in my
opinion) about the event - including a few details about the events
that will be happening next month, and the prizes that will be up
for grabs.
The release includes text written by myself and Steve Virgin. Any
help improving the release would be gratefully received. It will
hopefully go out on Sunday the 24th January.
The museums and events listed are confirmed: there are a number of
others that I'm waiting for confirmation on before adding to the
list. However, please don't spread the word too much about this
press release yet, as it needs to be checked by the museums
involved before it goes live fully.
If anyone is willing and able to help with Britain Loves Wikipedia,
please let me know. Specifically:
- We have a website in development - a wiki with some custom coding
for entering the competition - which needs text improving and
information adding, however it's currently password protected due
to some confidential information. I should be able to give access
to this to a few people, but the information cannot be distributed
yet.
- A leaflet is also currently under development, but could do with
work on the design and the text. If anyone's interested in helping,
I can share the current design with them.
- We are also in need of more sponsors for prizes - we have a
limited number at the moment, but more is always better.
- From Sunday onwards we will also need help spreading the word
about the events.
If you can help with any of this, please get in touch with me as
soon as possible.
Thanks,
Mike
