Harry Mitchell is running a Wiki Takes Chester event on 7th September. (http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Takes_Chester)
Is anyone able to run another local event in September that could pull people in to the Wiki Loves Monuments competition?
Michael
It would certainly be nice to have another one to bookend the competition. I approached User:Hassocks... to see if he was interested in organising one in Sussex, but he's away for most of September.
Somewhere outside London might be nice, ideally urban and historic so that there are enough listed buildings clustered in one place. And of course a volunteer.
We could perhaps ask Rod Ward, but his neck of the woods is pretty well covered and he's put in a lot of hard work getting the lists into shape. Clem Rutter is based in Rochester, but I don't know if he has experience of organising events. Mark MacDonald is based at Lancaster University. Perhaps we could ask if he could get students involved in a Wiki Takes... event?

I'm happy to help with logistics if anybody is interested but put off by lack of time or experience.
Also, registration for Chester is still open, please see http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Takes_Chester.

Hi Harry,
Do you think you could write a checklist/guide for organising such events? That might make it more attractive for others to do this, and maybe prompt some volunteers.

to avoid duplication, could you take a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Organizing_a... and see if that is what you're looking for? If you're missing something, perhaps that could be improved, and other countries could use that as well.

To be honest, I'd love to do one in Birmingham, in my own time. Ill have a think about it today. On Aug 23, 2013 12:42 PM, "Michael Maggs" Michael@maggs.name wrote:

I'd gladly help with that, being in Birmingham anyway.
Birmingham would be different because it's much bigger than Coventry or Chester (by both area and population), but there would be people who were willing to get on trains or buses to go further out. Commons is relatively sparse on images of Birmingham outside the city centre. It's certainly doable and I'd love to help if somebody wants to make "Wikipedia Takes Birmingham" their baby.

I'd gladly help with that, being in Birmingham anyway.
If I can, I'll help with this as well and suburban rail and bus isn't normally a bother for me - do the buses still require exact change only? I don't think I've been on a bus in that city this millennium!

Harry Mitchell is running a Wiki Takes Chester event on 7th September. (http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Takes_Chester)
Is anyone able to run another local event in September that could pull people in to the Wiki Loves Monuments competition?

There are now a variety of options, including day-tickets purchasable on buses (exact change only!) and as scratch-cards from newsagents.
Maybe we could get some funding (WMUK microgrant?) and give each participant a day ticket?

We could do a suburb, to start with.
Ill be honest: I think we can do the centre in a day. Lots of buildings on the target list there, and we've in only got a few weekends in which to do it! On Aug 27, 2013 9:31 PM, "Andy Mabbett" andy@pigsonthewing.org.uk wrote:
