Just noticed this posting on the Wikipedia @ 10 website. Is anyone
interested in taking this forward? A Wikipedia drinks reception sounds
like a great way to involve a new group of people in the things we do,
although 10th April is a little close to the Annual Conference & AGM
on 16th.

Ockham Blue Plaque
Hi everyone. I am shortly applying to the City of London for a 'blue
plaque' to be installed at the site of the old Greyfriars monastery on
London Wall, by Newgate Street, to commemorate the great English
philosopher William of Ockham. I have a long list of distinguished
(some not so distinguished!) philosophers from all over the world who
are prepared to support this. I am not sure whether the process will
be finished by April 10 2011. Even if not, it would be great to add to
the London Greyfriars article on Wikipedia to include some facts about
Ockham's period of residence there (when he wrote some of his greatest
works). And I am sure that Merrill Lynch (current occupiers of the
site) would be happy to host drinks, perhaps with a Wikipedia
connection, on April 10. Also the article on Ockham himself could do
with a lot of work. Would anyone be happy to help with this? I could
post material here, and people could paste it into the relevant
articles. Best Peter Damian 12:36, 31 December 2010 (UTC)
