Hi Jonathan, to avoid duplication, could you take a look at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments/Organizing_a_Wiki_takes and see if that is what you're looking for? If you're missing something, perhaps that could be improved, and other countries could use that as well.

Jonathon That generic page is a good start, but it would be nice to have an even simpler page on WMUK explaining how to organize something really informal for WLM, and perhaps giving a WMUK contact email for further help (if possible). I’m really looking for something that I can link to from th

Birmingham would be different because it's much bigger than Coventry or Chester (by both area and population), but there would be people who were willing to get on trains or buses to go further out. Commons is relatively sparse on images of Birmingham outside the city centre. It's certainly doab

If I can, I'll help with this as well and suburban rail and bus isn't normally a bother for me - do the buses still require exact change only? I don't think I've been on a bus in that city this millennium! Chris On Tue, 27 Aug 2013, HJ Mitchell wrote: Birmingham would be different because it
