Hi all,
Just to let you all know that we are having an editathon at the Cinema Museum on Saturday 7th March.
The editahon page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Education_Program:Wikimedia_UK/Cinema_Museum_2015_%28Spring_2015%29 is a little different as we are using the Education Program https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Education_program extension. Feedback on the user interface would be very helpful. Please note, to register you click "enroll". I intend to draw together a list of suggestions as regards ways in which the page design could be imporved.
Another innovation is the publicity sub page. There are two ideas behind this.
1. This allows volunteers to help with publicity online (putting posts on facebook etc.) and to record what they have done to avoid repetition. 2. There is also a link to the page views which means that we can then look for the immediate impact of a publicity action. For example, the page hits peaked at 65 following the advertising of the event on the Wikimedia UK Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/WikimediaUK?fref=ts.
It would be great to see you on the day if you can come, and any help with online publicity would be greatly appreciated.
all the best

Fabian I've signed up and I've been studying the Education extension stuff. It looks very good. You mentioned that I should speak to you about getting user rights? Yes, please! Is there anything I need to do?
best wishes Edward

Glad to read an initiative based on cinema. Two weeks ago in Wikimedia Mexico we had the "Wiki loves cinema" editathon. Watch the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwiXfxQEIlA
