Hello all,
I see from the 2012 activity plan that there's a budget for a World
Wars project [1]. Is there a leader for this? An online presence?
I'd like to keep in touch with the project with focus on WWI so as to
get stuff done before the centenary. I actually read a heap of WWI
articles last year and no doubt did some wikignome-like edits along
the way. I'm not inclined to do social things like leaving the house
and talking to people, but anything that's computer-based I may be
persuaded to attend to for two or three hours a week. I can be
persuaded to invest in and read some books, although if the books were
to come out of the budget and then be placed in Wikimedia UKs hands
afterwards that would be preferable.
There is, of course, a MILHIST task force for each war. [2] [3]
If anyone's in charge of this, make yourself known and I shall follow
you for a bit and see what's up. I suggest whoever takes the lead
brings MILHIST on board as they are (I believe) a very successful
wikiproject with tons of experience and many featured and other high
quality articles to their name.
