Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Some of you may be aware of the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/crewe.group/">CREWE Facebook group</a>; which is a group of PR types interested in opening a dialogue with Wikipedia over the current issues of COI and paid editing. There has been interest in having a session for CREWE members to meet some Wikipedians, discuss the issues, and learn about Wikipedia (and hopefully we could learn something too).</div>
<div><br></div><div>The idea is very early stage at the moment; guaging interest from both communities. I sent an email to Daria last night to see if the WMUK office could assist. </div><div><br></div><div>But what sort of interest is there within the rest of the Chapter?</div>
<div><br></div><div>We are aiming for around May - probably a small group of representatives, presentations from us and them, a Q&amp;A/round table and probably a practical session.</div><div><br></div><div>- Are there any dates in May to avoid?</div>
<div><br></div><div>- Anyone interested in attending/engaging?</div><div><br></div><div>- Venue ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>- Format ideas?</div><div><br></div><div>- Anything else I missed?</div><div><br></div><div>I&#39;d love to have a broad spectrum of editors involved - perhaps 5 or so (we&#39;re likely to have ~20 from CREWE) - so we can have a proper discussion. I know even within the community there is disagreement on some of the issues, and representing all of those (constructively) would be good.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Tom</div>
