OKCON logo

Since the conference hasnt had a logo, i quickly created a working logo to be used for the time being untill a better one is made or if this one is suitable then it can be used in the long term if you guys wish.
 
 
Its not perfect yet as I havnt ensured the positions are all aligned as they should be, but comments on the look, feel and general thinking on the logo would be appreciated. It is loosely based on the open knowledge foundation logo.
 
Many Thanks

Draft press release: Milestone: 5 Million Media Files on Wikimedia Commons

Hi all,

We're planning to do a press release to the UK press about the  
upcoming milestone on Wikimedia Commons - 5 million media files. The  
count is currently just over 4,998,000; the milestone will probably  
be reached tomorrow. The draft press release is at:

http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_releases/ 
Wikimedia_Commons_5_million_files

Comments and suggestions would be most welcome. Feel free to edit the  
draft directly; it's on a wiki. It will be frozen and sent out once  
the milestone's reached.

Thanks,
Mike

Milestone: 5 Years, 5 Million Media Files on Wikimedia Commons

Hi all,

This is now live:

http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Press_releases/ 
Wikimedia_Commons_5_million_files

Please spread the word! I've posted it onto the WMUK blog and  
Twitter, and also sent emails to various news agencies that I have  
email addresses for from the recent press coverage (BBC, Times,  
Telegraph and Guardian). Additional suggestions would be more than  
welcome.

Thanks,
Mike Peel

Help:Contents

Hey all,

I have created http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help:Contents for the 
benefit of editors inbound from WMF project, unfamiliar with the exact 
nature of the WMUK wiki but keen to have a go. I'd appreciate it if more 
experienced members could check it for accuracy. For now, there are only 
a couple of ways of getting to it, mainly through {{welcome}}.

Thanks,

Re: Help:Contents

Why Help:Contents? Wouldn't it be better in metaspace (i.e. 
Wikimedia:Contents)?

Mind you, there doesn't seem to be much in the Wikimedia namespace.

Re: Help:Contents

Well, I started off by following the help link when you edit a new page, 
which I blueified by making the page (I didn't just make up 
"Help:Contents"; not that I mind really).
