Hi all
The Wiki Loves Monuments UK website is now live:
http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org.uk/
Please have a look and let me know if you have any feedback.
We particularly need help with:
1. Writing short blog posts, to be released between now and the end of September
2. Providing material for the England, Scotland, Wales and NI local pages, for example meetups, local initiatives, suggestions for local subjects to photograph and so on.
3. Getting the word out to local photographic and local history societies.
Please help if you can.

How local? England and Scotland are fairly big places when you try to cover all of them.
I think anything that will enthuse people to contribute, or to get together to do so in their communities. Could be for example specific types of monuments we’d like more images of, or local meet ups/photo walks, open days, other photo competitions. Anything that’s not UK-wide, really.

Hi Michael,
Would there be any scope for focusing on/highlighting war memorials, especially as this November will be the centenary of the end of WWI? We have two lists on the English Wikipedia of grade I and grade II* listed war memorials in England, and many more categories on Commons for grade II and for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. Historic England have been working to list hundreds of war memorials over the centenary.
I'm sure I could put together a few paragraphs for a blog post if it would help.

Good job with revamping the site - I'm so pleased it works properly on mobile. With the blog posts do you have a particular brief in mind? I'm not committing to writing one *just *yet as I've got a backlog of about six other posts I should have written, but I could probably be persuaded.
