Talk:Reports/2012/August

I'm not 100% convinced that a long-running spat between two bloggers is really worthy of inclusion here. LibCon (and GF for that matter) probably fail WP:RS which, though not strictly relevant to WMUK monthly reports is worth treating as a useful guideline.

Hi there, thanks for your comment. Do you mean the piece about Guido Fawkes? If so, it's only in there as a piece of press coverage that might be of interest, rather than a summary of any of our own activity. We tend to record these press cuttings as a matter of course as it's helpful for us to have a record. I do hope this makes sense but if not please do let me know and I'll do what I can to further clarify. Thank you. --Stevie Benton (WMUK) (talk) 14:02, 10 September 2012 (UTC)

Something doesn't add up with those membership numbers, given that right now we've got 258 'current' members and 5 renewals so far this month... Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 13:25, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Ah, I know what's happened - 'New' members also need to be counted as well as 'Current'. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk)

Yes, but the period should run up to 31st August 2012 as this is august report - so it will be less than is stands now in mid-september after recent approvals? Katherine Bavage (WMUK) (talk) 13:28, 14 September 2012 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing this. I agree that these numbers should cover August - I was just using those numbers to point out that the numbers at the end of August should be consistent with the current numbers given the number of renewals/new members so far this month. :-) Thanks.
