Would you believe that Derby's where it all started, at the museum there? Definitely worth him getting in touch with Andy Mabbett... or indeed having a chat with him yourself! When you say "we", who do you mean? Any other wikipedians?

We had an interesting tour of Derby Saturday run by Richard Felix, who seems to be the chief tourism booster in Derby and a real enthusiast. See his website http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Felix and our article on him http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Felix I mentioned Monmouthpedia and he was fascinated. He also seems to be a great fundraiser, and very upset at the lack of plaques on buildings.

[cough] - I was the wikipedian in Resdence in Derby Museum - (although Andy did write the first article. ) Derby is the only city on mainland UK that could create a wiki city very quickly. I'd be intrigued to help them as I ve pitched the idea twice to city officials. regards Roger On 30 July 2012 17:34, Richard Symonds <richard.symonds(a)wikimedia.org.uk> wrote:

Hi Roger I'd appreciate it if you'd take this on. I'm really too busy, half an hour away and with no contacts. Doug On Tue, Jul 31, 2012 at 12:03 PM, Roger Bamkin <victuallers(a)gmail.com> wrote:

Hey Doug, sounds like you have the inside track. I live in ~Derby and I'm finding it much easier to cold-call other cities. Actually we get pulled through the door! If you care to act as go-between then please have a go. It would renew my faith in my city if it decides to fully exploit was it created. As I said we have enough digital stuff to make the city glow. If you are too busy then say and I'll add it to my list Roger Roger On 30 July 2012 19:56, Doug Weller <dougweller(a)gmail.com> wrote:

I am aware. His views are "unusual" but it seems that here we are looking for a publicist ..... and he has the CV for that I'm not known for my subtelty but Derby needs the guy from V for Vendetta to explain. Its very busy putting up posters about Derby being the city of invention with microsoft tags on them ... TBH they did amend the signs that said they were QR codes ....

Unfortunate, unless I am reading his article wrong, that he's a bit of a quack... Tom On 30 July 2012 13:48, Doug Weller <dougweller(a)gmail.com> wrote:
