When speaking to Stevie Benton from Wikimedia UK recently, he mentioned an interesting initiative to bring one town, the Welsh town of Monmouth, to life. So I said I’d mention it here, in case you would like to help out. Wikimedia UK, the charity that promotes Wikipedia across the UK, has been partnering Monmouth as part of an initiative to launch the world's first Wikipedia town to the world's press on 19 May. The partners, including Monmouthshire County Council, have created a project called Monmouthpedia which is about creating multilingual versions of Wikipedia pages about every notable place, person, artefact, flora, fauna in the town of Monmouth and making them instantly accessible to smartphone users in the town through the installation of QRpedia codes. Here’s how you can help. Wikimedia is looking for PR professionals to step forward and brief the world's media about this world's first, in partnership with the Wikimedia team. In particular, this will be explaining how QRpedia codes and multilingual Wikipedia pages can take a town's history and place it before an online audience of almost half a billion people a month. The commitment will be to participate in two or three briefing calls, to clarify the task and agree on which media each set of volunteers will be approaching. Then the weekend before, an agreement to sell the story into those media, in time for the launch of ‘The World’s First Wikipedia Town – Monmouth’ on 19 May. There's already been media interest from all five continents and this will only intensify as the launch date draws closer.
