Morning Everyone,
As you might know, the 2013 conference will be in Lincoln, organised by the Conference Committee with support from the office.
With the venue chosen, we now need to figure out an exciting programme. A lot of this is in the planning stage and we will be releasing more information later, however one of the first thing we need to do is figure out some keynote speakers.
Later in the year we will be calling for papers and speakers from within the community, right now we are focusing on finding one or two "big names" who have something relevant to say.
As this is your concert we need to know who you want to hear from!
It could be anyone; from celerities, to politicians, to activists. We're looking for intriguing suggestions, people with a unique perspective.
Some initial suggestions have been made, please please do suggest further ideas here on the mailing list, by emailing myself or posting on this page: http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiConference_UK_2013/Speakers
Regards, Tom

If the UK would be participating in Wiki Loves Monuments this year, would that be an angle to search a keynote? (national or European) I doubt someone from the international team would qualify as a ''keynote'' (maybe regular though?) but someone from Heritage England or even one of the European umbrella organizations (Europa Nostra, Europeana) could do something?
Just a thought,

Thanks L for the prompt on Wiki Loves Monuments. It would be sad if we missed out again this year. Anyone willing to start a timetable/decision tree for this? We should have enough staff support for volunteers. Jon

Excellent suggestions, thanks, I will look into it.
A WLM speaker would be great... last year it was mentioned, but only as a plea for someone to step forward and organise the UK effort.
I looked into what it would take but it seems a larger job than I'd have time for given my other committements - is there noone from the GLAM side of things who can take it on??

Well we have a list of Grade I listed buildings in every county. I'm sure it would be easy enough to have a bot do the same for Grade II* and Scheduled Ancient Monuments, and that gives us a ready-made target list. How much more organisation is needed, beyond creating the necessary project pages on the relevant wikis and getting the word out? Harry Mitchell

There are twice as many Grade II* listed building as there are Grade I (around 20,000 and 10,000 respectively). Though each county has a list of Grade I listed buildings, corresponding lists for Grade II* are rare. Part of the issue may be because the lists can be very long and unwieldy. If this could be automated it would be very useful as the lists take a huge amount of time to put together by hand. Just ask Peter I. Vardyhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Peter_I._Vardy who wrote a few of the lists.

Indeed (I'm responsible for the Grade Is, Grade II*s and Scheduled Monuments in Coventry). I was under the impression that some of the Grade Is by county were created by a bot or script, but (not knowing much about such things), I imagine it would be reasonably easy to import English Heritage's lists by bot.

There are twice as many Grade II* listed building as there are Grade I (around 20,000 and 10,000 respectively). Though each county has a list of Grade I listed buildings, corresponding lists for Grade II* are rare. Part of the issue may be because the lists can be very long and unwieldy. If this could be automated it would be very useful as the lists take a huge amount of time to put together by hand. Just ask Peter I. Vardy who wrote a few of the lists.

Excellent suggestions, thanks, I will look into it.
A WLM speaker would be great... last year it was mentioned, but only as a plea for someone to step forward and organise the UK effort.
I looked into what it would take but it seems a larger job than I'd have time for given my other committements - is there noone from the GLAM side of things who can take it on??

Morning Everyone,
As you might know, the 2013 conference will be in Lincoln, organised by the Conference Committee with support from the office.
With the venue chosen, we now need to figure out an exciting programme. A lot of this is in the planning stage and we will be releasing more information later, however one of the first thing we need to do is figure out some keynote speakers.
Later in the year we will be calling for papers and speakers from within the community, right now we are focusing on finding one or two "big names" who have something relevant to say.
As this is your concert we need to know who you want to hear from!

Those and Grade II listings are not usually considered notable, whereas Scheduled Monuments, Grade Is, and Grade II*s are. It's unlikely that a photo of the house the local priest used to live in (which is a fairly typical example of a locally listed building) would be of much use. Harry Mitchell

Harry,
I'm not so sure it would be easy to import the EH list by bot (particularly if you want to include location data etc). If you take a look at a previous discussion re WikiLovesMonuments last year (see http://wikimedia.7.n6.nabble.com/Why-is-UK-not-part-of-Wiki-loves-monuments- td1434732.html )I found some issues with the EH Spatial Data page which uses the ESRI format. Unless someone has cracked that it could be difficult.

Although afaik Wiki Loves Monuments has mainly focused on getting photographs, I agree there's a great oppportunity for improving related articles and lists too. For example compare the lovely illustrated list of Grade I buildings in Greater Manchester [1] with the far more barebones list for Merseyside [2]. And as a bonus - more and better articles means more places to show off the lovely new WLM pictures, and the copious Geograph ones.
Perhaps Wikimedia UK should offer prizes for best/most article/list improvements during the month of WLM, in parallel with the photo competition aspect. Does anyone know if other chapters have done this in the past?

Yes, although those are not trivial tasks it is fairly simple, :) but requiring a modicum of time commitment. Speaking personally, I didn't have enough interest in the project to offer my time - I hope someone else does!
