Questions

1. How many is this limited to?

2. Do you have a hearing loop, and is the venue wheelchair friendly?
   1. Mobility access is good, no hearing loop unfortunately.
3. Is the WiFi up to the job?
   1. YES! YMT have just invested in a new box that looks like a stealth bomber!

Possibly!

I'm quite interested in attending this, but since I'm coming from Liverpool on a Sunday the trains aren't great and it looks like I can arrive at 11am at the earliest. Hopefully I wouldn't miss too much. I'll confirm either way closer to the time :) Samwalton9 (talk) 01:03, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Excuse my French

This sounds interesting! However, I'm much more comfortable editing on the French Wikipedia than here, since French is my first language and I'm more used to the policies and habits over there. Do you think translating articles into French would be a good idea? Most of those which are selected now do not exist yet in French, or only as stubs. Ælfgar (talk) 19:27, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I'm not organising the editathon but I think that would be a great idea! I'm also sure other editors would be interested in hearing how the French Wikipedia differs, that is if you're attending in person. Samwalton9 (talk) 20:38, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Ælfgar That sounds amazing! Would you be joining us at the event or just contributing remotely. There are probably other articles related to YMT that would be useful in French. If you have a look through here: YMT-related articles. Let me know how I can help! PatHadley (talk) 21:19, 11 February 2014 (UTC)

I'll be at the event if I can, but I'm not sure yet I'll be able to attend. Ælfgar (talk) 17:43, 15 February 2014 (UTC)
