Hi all, two things to tell you about. Firstly, this weekend, a few of us will be going to Conway Hall at 11am before the London meetup to look at their collection of 19th century pamphlets. They will be doing an editathon on May 18 https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/victorian-blogging-wikipedia-edit-a-thon-tickets-59887399825 to add content based on these newly digitised pamphlets so we are going to assess the collection and see what can be improved on Wikipedia/Wikidata by using these sources. If anybody wants to come with us to Conway Hall before going to the meetup, please let me know.
Secondly, we have the second Wikidata meetup in London on May 2. The Eventbrite signup is here https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/london-wikidata-meetup-2-tickets-59955106337 and the Meta page is here https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meetup/London_Wikidata/02. Events list is up to date I think so please check it out for other events here https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Events
I'm also just preparing the Spring newsletter, so if anybody would like to write about something Wikimedia related for it, please get in touch.
