Geni, looks useful. It may be premature but being as nobody has stopped me
(yet) I'm moving quickly. Do you fancy moving your page to main space?
and maybe even customising it?
I'm thinking that maybe I will soon have a demo section in Derby Museums
working - I'm going there in next few hours
I don't have much experience with asking schools and churches to take
pictures of them for Wikipedia. However, I have been carrying a camera
around with me in Cambridge so that if I bump into anyone (or anything)
famous, (famous being defined as having a en.wp article) I can take a
picture of them.
Do we have a programme to get photos of every MP? Standard templates,
etc? I need to ask mine, [[Stella Creasy]], for one ...

I think someone mooted a letter-writing campaign a while back, but I
don't know if anything ever got off the ground.

I don't know about the UK, but I know that the Dutch chapter secured a
content donation from their parliament of the official portraits of the
whole government as a job lot. That might be easier than trying to get them
one by one. I also heard that the German chapter was going to try and get
photos

Don't focus exclusively on MPs - don't forget Lords, MSPs, AMs, MLAs and GLAMs
who outnumber MPs a fair bit and also all have articles.
Parliament is worth a go, though they aren't exactly a hotbed of technological
progress.
Political parties might be a better bet.

I told a mate of mine, Terence Eden, a mobile technologist who writes
frequently on his blog about how to do QR codes properly, about this
thread.
He's put up a post on his blog with some advice that could help
Wikimedia do QR codes properly.

Hello all,
I know there has been some discussion about a Wiki Loves Monuments in
the UK, but I have heard little back after that. I think there is
definitely a lot of potential in the UK for setting up a project like
this, and hope that it would be possible to find the volunteers to run
this in th
Sorry to spoil the fun, but I think I will have to correct you here.
We got a donation of the government a few years back of all
/ministers/ and state secretaries, but not of members of parliament.
Nowadays, all government material is usually published CC-zero, so
also new photos are free. However,
Hmmm, on further investigation, parliament.uk's images are not its own - their

Terence's blog looks very useful.
If anyone is in travelling distance of Derby main museum then there are now
some demo QR codes in their geology and natural history section. Comments
welcomed. Bravely they agreed to "just do it". Help from Fae and JamesB
enabled
I'm thoroughly impressed that we went from my vague mention of QR
codes to a live public exhibition within 3 days. Victuallers, you
deserve a great big "Making things happen" barn star.
Cheers,

Got any pictures of the installation processes or labels in-situ? This deserves

Hi Liam, pleased to see that others agree on you being a fine fellow.
Congratulations.
There are some pics in this category which show the cutting out, the
mounting, some example locations of the codes and a lady using her phone to
access stuff about geology. I'm going to be busy this weekend on o
