On Saturday 22 August, I attended Science Online London, and gave a talk on "Science and Wikimedia" in the "Citizen Science" session. Before and after the event, I had a number of positive discussions about Wikipedia with a number of people from museums around London. In most cases, people were after further information; as a consequence I've started putting together the pages on cultural partnerships and Britain Loves Wikipedia.

I've started fleshing out this idea on the webpages. Would it be worth having a dedicated domain name for this? Discuss

I'm away between the 2nd and 5th September, and won't be able to answer phone calls on the WMUK phone. Discuss
