There is an article on Mount Mulligan but at its indigenous name of Ngarrabullgan. -- Mattinbgn (talk) 00:46, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nice story. :) Is the SLQ banner only shown to Australian readers or all? Having the banner during the fundraiser seems like a great way to bring attention to a partner like this. --pfctdayelise (talk) 03:27, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

At the moment, the banner is only shown to Australians. The other chapters know about it, but the actual banner selection is up to each individual country's chapter (or where there is no chapter, the WMF). Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 05:52, 21 December 2010 (UTC).[reply]

I neglected to write that there are also opportunities for Wikimedians to clean up some of the photos. For example, the one above of Gilmore, which I love, has some "noise" in it, if that's the right technical term. Thanks to the editor who identified the article on "Mount Mulligan", and to the editor who updated the caption here. I wonder whether the Commons description page has also been updated? :-) Tony (talk) 10:32, 21 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

As a correction to this story, the GLAM-WIKI conference was held in Canberra, not Sydney. The venue for the conference (the Australian War Memorial) has since clarified the licensing conditions in its huge online images database to make it clear what is and isn't under copyright, so it would be good to get the location of the conference right.

Congratulations to all involved. Quick question: how do we know it is the 4th largest donation? Who is keeping a list of those? --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| talk} 00:33, 22 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
