# Go to ] and edit it to add {{tlx|di-replaceable fair use disputed}}, '''without deleting the original replaceable fair use template'''.
# On ], write the reason why this image is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, ], or by taking a picture of it yourself.

== Invitation to Misplaced Pages meetup in London ==

]

'''Date:''' 13:00 ''onwards'', Sunday 10 August 2008

'''Venue:''' Penderel's Oak pub, Holborn WC1

'''More information:''' ]


Hello,

I noticed that you have listed yourself as a ], so I thought you might like to come to one of our monthly ]. The next one is going to be on Sunday 10 August, which might well be rather short notice, but if you can't come this time, we try to have one every second Sunday of the month.

If you haven't been before, these meetups are mainly casual social events for Misplaced Pages enthusiasts in which we chat about Misplaced Pages and any other topics we fancy. It's a great way to meet some very keen Wikipedians, but we'd also love for you to come along if you're interested in finding out more about Misplaced Pages, other Wikimedia projects, or other collaborative wiki projects too.

The location is a pub that is quite quiet and family friendly on a Sunday lunchtime, so hopefully younger Wikipedians will also feel welcome and safe. Alcohol consumption is certainly not required!

Although the meetups are popular, many UK-based editors still don't know about them. It would be great to welcome some fresh faces, so I hope you can come along.

Yours,

] (]) 09:27, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
