Wikimedia UK v1.0: Difference between revisions

Set up as Wiki Educational Resources Limited, a company limited by guarantee, on 28 August 2008 it was announced that the Company was to be wound up immediately as it had not got as far as it had hoped. As such, the chapter 'Wikimedia UK' will now need to be re-started by a new group of editors and others; see Wikimedia UK v2.0.
