When
Wikimedia UK has organised 75 events so far in the UK – and predicts > 1,000 in five years
Its fun to crowdsource. This is “audience involvement” which Wikimedians require
But, we have 2,600,000 “Geograph” pictures (meta data & geo-located - that we don’t have the time to use)
We aim to increase the “quality of knowledge” – We know the UK government has a very good monument database. We may be just wasting our time creating “another database” that takes longer to integrate then it did to produce.
Wikipedia is peer-reviewed. If we want to improve the quality then we need to improve the peers. GLAM and EDU does this.
Curators and librarians like (but lack) the audience we have
Finding an audience ...

“Collateral damage”
“Derby” is now in 60 languages. >150 objects now have a QRpedia code and an article in 10? languages.
However:
•Nearby bridges got articles, churches, the library next door, castles, Monuments and in different languages
•Paintings that people thought were in Derby (but are not) got articles
•Paintings that were in storage got articles
•People who worked for the museum in the 19th century got articles
