What's the Weekly Wiki?
It's an informal meeting/workshop/get-together, in which we can (once a week) expect to be able to interact with other Citizens in something closer to real-time. So you can announce your new articles; request help with articles; ask questions about policy or the software; introduce proposals; generally chat; etc.
When?
Wednesdays when there's no Write-a-Thon, at:
- Wednesday UTC 0900 (= 7 PM Sydney)
- Wednesday UTC 1800 (= 7 PM London, 8 PM Paris)
- Thursday UTC 0100 (= Wednesday 6 PM California, 9 PM New York)
We'll say that the Weekly Wiki happens for two hours beginning at each of those times, but anytime Wednesday, you can write on the Weekly Wiki page.

Metadata
Just a thought - if we're going to be using the Metadata template widely for the subpages project and as an eventual replacement for the Article Checklist - are there additional things we should be recording or including from the start. Offhand, I can think of two things:
- Under-referenced? A yes/no parameter, indicating whether the article has enough referenced sources.
- Needs image(s)? A yes/no parameter, indicating whether the article has enough (or any) photos, diagrams or other images included. Anton Sweeney 09:07, 29 August 2007 (CDT)

You're right. This is something we've got to get on top of soon, before doing the Big Subpagination. Re the status of catalogs, this is something we've discussed on the forums before.

Help with the Unionist article
Hi,
I could do with all the help I can find on the Ulster Unionism article. Thanks. Denis Cavanagh 09:29, 29 August 2007 (CDT)
