- 13. We did write some articles But we wanted to do more ... We wanted to write the labels
- 14. Museum curators just love writing labels for every item in their collection Sometimes they manage it in more than one language We were told that a museum would never allow Wikipedians to write museum labels Why
- 15. We actually wanted to do something better Why We wanted to use QR codes in addition to labels We installed QR codes in Derby museum on sample objects So, visitors were reading facts not written by curators Both Wikipedians and curators could edit the Wikipedia page QR Code Devised in 1994 it is used in UK as a gimmick, but is being adopted by business
- 17. How does QRpedia work? We will ... ... And you can do it NOW! But where will we find all the extra text in French, German , Polish etc?

Notes de l'éditeur
- A1 Hello etc. This talk is called ..... We think it should be called “transforming a city from a museum” We are going to talk about technology because that's what we use. However the job of Wikimedia UK is part of a global movement to
- B2
- C3 Wikimedia and our most famous project (Wikipedia) is full of big numbers. 3.7m articles in English, over 100 languages, over 10 m articles. Possibly the most amazing is that we have over 400 million different people visit our site every month. We are in the top ten web sites in the World .... And we are free!
- You must include slide 33 as it explains who we are I still think no one cares about the split between the WMF and WMUK but it will fit under “Who” if you disagree
- g7
- f6
- H8 Talking of maps .... Where are we? So wikipedia shows us where we (gesture) are on the map. Its this article that appears when tourists click on Google maps to see what is in the West Country. It mentions four or five major items and is a very short article at 1,349 words. Other Slide 8 – bit confused by this – needs clarifying (say MShed earlier on)
- I9 The point here is about transforming museums. Bristol spent over 27m pounds. This created some improvements in reality – because it is now open, but on Wikipedia it is smaller than it was.
- H11 Slide 11 – you need some coherent line spacing on this page – data is bunched and looks ungainly (think there could be a better way for this slide – though see what you are doing)
- L12 Actually Derby museum’s article was unusually large before we started. In reality it not such a grand museum as Bristol's main museum or the M Shed but in cyberspace on Wikipedia it probably scored 6/10 for a museum

- J10
- M13
- P16 Steve thinks we need more explanation of how QRpedia works
- P16 supplemental You find a QR code in this case one for Derby Museum, you click on it with in this case a phone set to operate in Japanese and because of this Qrpedia displays not the English page, not a translation, but an article about this museum written by someone in Japan.

- O15
- S19 wiki main page
- T20
- U21
- 22
- W23 Three Derby articles on the French Wikipedias front page for 3 rd Sept And the Russian, Esperanto and English
- X214 Listen to my words – its not on the slide Have you looked on Google maps .... Imagine you are abroad and you are using your phone to find a museum on a rainy day. Your son wants one with a crane that runs on wheels like the he saw in Transformers .... Where is the nearest to Bristol? Where does Google gets its data from? Your web site? I don’t think so The point here is that Slide 25 – again know what you mean (chance to elbow in Wikibooks) – also cannot see why Joe Public would want to ‘make a book’ so wondering whether there’s any point in this slide at all.... Joe Public does nt make books ..... New publishing Inc makes books and they need a picture of a museum. Lovely one from Bristol ... Shall I write and get permission from their permissions officer, negotiate the small print and pay their fee, insert an acknowledgement, remember who I bought it from when I resell the rights .... Or use this OK one from Derby?
- Z26 Conclusions
- Banksy’s Wikipedia page av.’d between 1.5k & 3.5K hits a day in first half of 2009 His page had 80,500 hits during his six ‘Bristol Exhibition Days’ 12-16 June 2009 His total in June (157,019 hits); July (87,232 hits) and August (90,984 hits) That’s 325,335 people viewing the Banksy page inside 3 months 120,000 people ‘queued’ to view Banksy in month1 – more viewed his Wikipedia page Thousands took photographs, the exhibition at Bristol Museum was reviewed and written about everywhere in the UK Local paper spoke about a 25% jump in tourist trade during exhibition Would that have persisted longer if the whole exhibition had been QR Coded too? Would the Banksy-buzz have lasted longer, travelled around the world & made news in every major newspaper in the world? What impact might that have had for Foreign Direct Investment into the city?
