HaeB You wrote two Signpost stories on press passes. Do you know of other cases? Blue Rasberry (talk) 15:21, 2 November 2015 (UTC)

@Bluerasberry: Thanks (I also edited and published the third story you linked BTW, in my work capacity). Still, I wouldn't say it's my area of expertise, but perhaps these German examples are interesting for you too:

• de:Wikipedia:Festivalsommer is a large-scale effort where Wikimedians attend music festivals and concerts, to take photos of performing artists, often with accreditation obtained with help of the German-language chapters. Achim Raschka should be able to give you more information about the process; perhaps you can even get him to write up an English-language blog post for the Wikimedia blog for the benefit of others who might be interested in adapting the model in other countries.
• de:Wikipedia:Foto-, Film- und Pressetermine (see also archive)

@Bluerasberry:, @HaeB:: If wanted I can write an article on the Festivalsommer project at the end of this year or beginning of next - first I need to get a deeper insight on the outcomes of this year. If I will forget: The best to get me is on my German userpage since I am not really active in the english wp. Best, -- Achim Raschka (talk) 09:22, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
