Focus on articles not institutions

Hi John, please remember to focus on articles not institutions. There are many species with fossils, skeletons or even stuffed or pickled examples at the Museum. I would suggest focussing on articles such as Arsinoitherium zitteli and Paracyclotosaurus davidi, and maybe create a table showing target species, current languages and article level, and also what we have on commons, - category, quality photo, featured photo.

Photography training

Geni has offered to do a photography training session showing people techniques for taking good photos of objects in glass display cases. Would you be OK if we combine that with this event? I'd imagine if he is up for it we'd bill this event as including one hour training sessions on "tips for photographing items in glass cases".

Laptops

Are you hoping to book the three WMUK laptops? If so there will only be one available for winter unless we invest in more. We have one block booked for an intern and another in use in Wales. Jonathan Cardy (WMUK) (talk) 14:40, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WiFi

How good is the Wifi? Do we need to book our mobile one? Jonathan Cardy (WMUK) (talk) 14:40, 15 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]
