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? On 23 August 2013 12:42, Michael Maggs <Michael(a)maggs.name> wrote:

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.

Hi Jonathan, to avoid duplication, could you take a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Organizing_… 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. Thanks! Lodewijk 2013/8/27 Jonathan Cardy <jonathan.cardy(a)wikimedia.org.uk>

OK Michael, I've started http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Organizing_a_Wiki_takes_event - this links to the commons one, but has some specific stuff for the UK such as our ability to supply mobile WiFi for events. On 27 August 2013 16:59, Michael Maggs <Michael(a)maggs.name> wrote:

Jonathon That generic page is a good start, but it would be nice to have an even simpler page on WMUK explaining how to organize something really informal for WLM, and perhaps giving a WMUK contact email for further help (if possible). I’m really looking for something that I can link to from this page: http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/?page_id=42 Michael On 27 Aug 2013, at 13:22, Jonathan Cardy wrote: Thanks Lodewijk, Yes that's what I was looking for.

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! Chris On Tue, 27 Aug 2013, HJ Mitchell wrote:
