Wikipedia’sBritish Museum project created

100 Articles ... So what?

In 2010 Wikipedia and the British Museum collaborated and made 100 new articles. But, can Wikimedia change something?

Derby Museums and Wikimedia UK have been working together since January. They

have organised a Wikipedia event and experimented with using QR codes for

labelling artefacts. As a result of the collaboration Bamkin and Eden have

designed Qrpedia.org which allow multi lingual access to exhibits. The Wright

challenge has created multilingual wiki articles.

Dealing With Other Languages

25% - 50% of visitors to UK museums are foreigners*

Not every museum is in the UK

English is not the “most important” language on

Wikipedia.

QR Code usage has risen by 1200% in a year in UK

Why use QRpedia codes?

If you have a limitless budget to continually update

the information on your 100,000 plus artefacts then

you don't need QR codes.

If you can supply most of your information in 5 or 6

languages and occasionally in 150 languages then

you don't need QRWP codes

If your alternative is more accessible then the law will

not oblige you to use other external sources
