Talk:Bristol Festival of Ideas

Bristol Wiki Meetup
You are invited to the Bristol Wiki Meetup which will take place at The Commercial Rooms, 43-45 Corn Street, Bristol BS1 1HT on Sunday 28 July 2013 from 1.00 pm. If you have never been to one, this is an opportunity to meet other Wikipedians in an informal atmosphere for Wiki and non-Wiki related chat and for beer or food if you like. Experienced and new contributors are all welcome. This event is definitely not restricted just to discussion of Bristol topics. Bring your laptop if you like and use the free Wifi or just bring yourself. Even better, bring a friend! Click the link for full details. Looking forward to seeing you.

abandoned annual fest
The trouble with documenting something in excruciating detail - EVERY person who EVER appeared EVERY year, it seems - is that you're committing Wikipedia to continued documentation of same, e.g. every episode of every season of a TV show. BFoI since 2011 essentially abandoned, looks stupid. If you're not willing to own something, please don't sign us up for the work.Doug Grinbergs (talk) 05:37, 24 October 2023 (UTC)


 * FWIW, of umpteen hundred Wikipedia entries listed for all those years, this U.S. Wikipedian recognized maybe half a dozen names. just sayin' - not universal household names all worth sharing. Doug Grinbergs (talk) 06:03, 24 October 2023 (UTC)
