This page has been created to act as a focal point for contributors improving articles related to the British Library. From May 2012 to April 2013, the BL hosted a Wikipedian in Residence, Andrew Gray (talk · contribs).
The page about the more recent residency can be found here. |
 | This task force, an open group of Wikipedia editors, is believed to be semi-active. Although there may be fewer editors here than in the past, anyone is welcome to participate in the group or to leave a message for us. Remove the
|Semi-active parameter from this template if activity resumes or if this tag was changed in error. If almost no activity occurs in this task force, consider replacing this tag with {{WikiProject status|Inactive}}. |
