I'm forwarding this to the UK mailing list. I'm sure someone there is in London.

I'm in London, and can deal with this if it's not already been done.

I have reported this to the police; they're sending officers to the
address given to investigate.

The police just called me back. "It was a young lad's idea of a hoax"
was the expression the officer used to me. Apparently he's been given
a severe talking to.

And I was the only one to have reported it to them.

Thanks to Avi for the tip-off.

James.

Maybe someone wants to delete the user page then, so that there are no
other people who come across it and e.g. call the police?

I have blanked the page, now just waiting for an admin to delete all revisions.

The Jury for Wikimania 2008 bids have met and are pleased to announce
that Wikimania 2008 will be held in Alexandria, Egypt.

The Bids were assessed by a Jury[0] which included community members
representing various geographical areas, and organisers of the previous
conferences. The Jury used 12 criteria[1] to judge the bids, which were
drawn up based on the Jury's previous experiences organising the
conference and with input from a wide range of community concerns.

Alexandria was found to be particularly strong in the areas of
reflecting the Wikimedia Foundation's roots in geo-diversity and
multi-lingualism, of the very exciting nature of the proposed venue
and its local facilities, and of the particularly advanced nature of
the financial planning.
