Those who were involved in Monmouthpedia, or indeed anyone else, might be interested to know that the enwiki article on the Monnow Bridge is being reviewed for featured article status. If you're interested, the review is at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Monnow_B... .

Thanks Harry. Interesting to check through the images. One of my uploads is still on the page :-)
The Geograph shot of the Warkworth gate is surprising to see, I would have thought someone would have uploaded a better quality version from the same angle by now.
It's a bit sad to remember that the Monmouth event was years ago. It would be nice to see the same level of innovation and excitement again within our social group of active Wikimedians.

That a bit "où sont les neiges d'antan?" Roger Bamkin and the Women in Red project are going great guns. John Cummings is quietly busy at UNESCO getting things released into the wild. Wikidata has prompted innovations such as Histropedia, to give just one UK example, and on the educational front Magnus Manske last week made a breakthrough with his WikiBase site Comprende! (see http://magnusmanske.de/wordpress/?p=446), which has got the WMF interested.

Thanks Charles.
Though I am aware of all the projects you list, I don't see any as being especially related to the UK, and it was those UK events we used to drive for ourselves that I was thinking of.
In fact it's great that all the initiatives mentioned are international, pretty much the sort of global view that I have when thinking about current and future Wikimedia LGBT+ projects. Maybe that's an improvement, though it does effectively bypass our old ideas about the value of local wiki meets and so forth.

Yup, sometimes innovations are of a new sort.

An excellent piece of research on a fascinating topic
