Dear all

ContentMine, the Cambridge based organisation which some of you will be familiar with through WikiFactMine and/or their other initiatives, has submitted an application to the Wikimedia Foundation for a new project, Diversitech. This will apply text-mining techniques to a multilingual corpus of LGBT articles, to help improve the quality of related Wikimedia pages and Wikidata. Wikimedia UK will be supporting the communications aspects of this project, if the grant application is successful.

Please can you consider adding your support to the funding bid, if you think that this is a good initiative? It's on wiki here:

Many thanks
