Might they also be interested in submitting something to the WikiJournal of humanities? I published a blog about the WikiJournals on Saturday which other Wikimedians might be interested in if they've not seen it yet.

Hello all, 

Hope you're having a good Wednesday.  I'm currently working with the Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust on the Dumfries Stonecarving Project, (there was a wee blog about this last year: https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2018/11/green-men-gargoyles-the-dumfries-stonecarving-project/) and we're now moving toward the next phase. This will include volunteer groups carrying out research, writing articles about notable local subjects, and integrating some of the pictures that have been taken into the encyclopedia. 

As well as articles which pertain to local history and places, my feeling is that there may well be a range of other articles relating to architecture, etc, which might be usefully incorporated into a worklist for one of the editathons which will form a part of this next phase.  

I wondered if there were any wikimedians on this list with an interest in architecture/ stonecarving who might be interested in helping me to explore this? I'd love to have a chat some time. (Please do email me direct rather than on-list, just for the sake of everyone's inboxes)

All the best 

Sara
