Suspect you are right Nev, although Andy is helping with Monmouthpedia
where we will have 1,000 codes .... and the local council are helping us! I
anticipate that wwe have changed some peoples minds this week about which
media is important.

They said no and were courteous enough to explain why,
so persisting is
unlikely to change their mind. The best thing to do would be to abandon the
idea, but if you feel strongly about it at least wait a few months before
trying again.

I learned today that
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jordanhill_railway_station was the
one-millionth English Wikipedia article so I've boldly written to
Transport Scotland to see if they'd be interested in putting a (blue)
plaque on the station, noting that fact, and featuring a QRpedia code
- after all, the article has 22 other-language versions.
I have at long last received a reply from Transport Scotland. It's a
splendid example of bureaucracy in action:
I have discussed with ScotRail your proposal to install a plaque
at the station to mark the one-millionth article on Wikipedia about
Jordanhill. We do not wish to take this forward.
ScotRail has been delivering a comprehensive station re-branding
programme which began in 2008 and will be complete in 2014.
There are Brand Guidelines in place for this programme which aims
to simplify and unify all station branding and this includes the
removal of information from third parties.
