Your input is needed on the SOPA initiative

Hi David Gerard,

You are receiving this message either because you expressed an opinion about the proposed SOPA blackout before full blackout and soft blackout were adequately differentiated, or because you expressed general support without specifying a preference. Please ensure that your voice is heard by clarifying your position accordingly.

Thank you.

Hey kid, wanna be a press volunteer?

I added a note to my SOPA blackout post-mortem blog post. As with most jobs on Misplaced Pages, the way to get the job is to do it.

If you’re an experienced UK Wikipedian who thinks they could acquit themselves reasonably well and have no problem with being a very minor public figure, please make yourself known on the wikimediauk-l mailing list and/or local meetups and you may get lined up for next time stuff explodes, the press want a random Wikipedian, etc. And feel free to casually talk to your local media about Misplaced Pages as the occasion arises.

That last is a very good way. - David Gerard (talk) 17:34, 20 January 2012 (UTC)

You still around?

Just poking around the place since the SOPA/PIPA craziness. Just saying hi to a few random people that I remember from years past. Linuxbeak (The cake is a lie!) 20:12, 20 January 2012 (UTC)
