Hey Stevie,

I won't have time to properly devote to something like this until mid-June, but I'm a coordinator of the Military History Project, so I'd love to see the UK join in with this and I'd certainly attend the event, and I'll help in any way I can.

Subject: [Wikimediauk-l] World War One editathon in June?

Hello everyone,

John Andersson of Wikimedia Sweden has commented on the ENWP Military History project asking if there are any Wikimedians interested in taking part in a First World War editathon in June this year - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Help_us_organize_a_World_War_I_edit-a-thon_in_June_2013

I also posted something recently on the same page calling for Wikimedians with ideas about projects related to the centenary of the war to get in touch, too - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Military_history#Calling_all_Wikimedians_interested_in_the_First_World_War

If you'd like to suggest ideas, lead on a project or like any support from Wikimedia UK regarding this topic, please do get in touch.

You can also view my notes from a workshop related to the centenary on the WMUK wiki here - http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/World_War_One/Notes_from_IWM_comms_workshop

Thanks and regards,

Stevie
