Slight pedantry, the Isle of Man is not part of the UK, it is a crown dependency. The Constitution of Wikimedia UK does not appear to make any mention of the Crown Dependencies, so promoting the Manx Wikipedia might not be considered part of its remit. I mention this, not because I think I wouldn't be a good thing to do (because I think would be), but because while WMUK awaits registration with the Charities Commission, we need to make sure everything that is done is within the charitable aims and I don't know if the Crown Dependencies would count as part of the UK for these purposes _______________________________________________ Wikimedia UK mailing list wikimediauk-l(a)wikimedia.org http://mail.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediauk-l WMUK: http://uk.wikimedia.org

Besides, Manx people are British citizens even if their sovereignity is confusing, and plenty of them live here, so there's our legitimate reason. ;-)

2009/9/21 James Hardy <wikimediauk(a)weeb.biz>iz>: I did indeed know this ;-) I don't think there is any danger of them getting upset; even were we to spend funds on this in some way, any amount used specifically for Manx would be trivial (and it's unlikely anything *would* be used specifically for Manx). Simplest just to say "the Celtic languages, with which we are obviously concerned" and move from there.
