Hi Sara, Not a wikimedian as such, but I think the project might be of interest to the architecture librarian David Buri at the Glasgow School of Art. He has previously received training on how to edit Wikipedia and has done some editing himself, but I think in this occurrence, he might be a better resource in terms providing sources for citations, etc… If this is of interest, let me know and I’ll send you his contact info.

I'm currently working with the Dumfries Historic Buildings Trust on the Dumfries Stonecarving Project, (there was a wee blog about this last year: https://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2018/11/green-men-gargoyles-the-dumfries-stonecarving-project/<https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.wikimedia.org.uk%2F2018%2F11%2Fgreen-men-gargoyles-the-dumfries-stonecarving-project%2F&data=02%7C01%7Cd.dallison%40scottishlibraries.org%7Cca98ca54180649fc552708d6a7bbb1ee%7C6414ad35a3824075ab2600ed2b7adb76%7C0%7C0%7C636880821926130646&sdata=LgP%2BU1CAT%2FWlcGwB8gxlKWPLeZAC97PwKRJIwAIwlII%3D&reserved=0>) and we're now moving toward the next phase. This will include volunteer groups carrying out research, writing articles about notable local subjects, and integrating some of the pictures that have been taken into the encyclopedia. As well as articles which pertain to local history and places, my feeling is that there may well be a range of other articles relating to architecture, etc, which might be usefully incorporated into a worklist for one of the editathons which will form a part of this next phase. I wondered if there were any wikimedians on this list with an interest in architecture/ stonecarving who might be interested in helping me to explore this? I'd love to have a chat some time. (Please do email me direct rather than on-list, just for the sake of everyone's inboxes) All the best Sara Dr Sara Thomas Scotland Programme Coordinator
