Apologies since I'm tired and still feeling somewhat ill from too much festival coffee. Ended up hastily googleing before I went to check it wasn't fyre festival MkII Free festival tickets aren't enough to get wikipedians to turn up. In fairness it was rather remote by south east England standards (I'd hate to see the thing's carbon footprint). Wikipedia is less sexy that hacking. In fairness the hour long delay did mean you ended up competing against Julie Bindel which may not have done wonders for your audience. We need a sexy 15-20 minute talk that can be thrown at pretty much any audience. A depressing number of people want to know how to get articles on themselves and aren't prepared to become pro-wrestlers. Micro four thirds would be a much more convient camera size for this kind of thing They festival wasn't enforcing its terms and conditions on telephoto lenses There were quite a few people appearing there that we didn't have photos of Department S were less popular than expected. The Members won the difficult to photograph due to lighting effects award (also I'm pretty sure the photo on their article is a copyvio). -- geni _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: https://wikimedia.org.uk
