 Done I took the liberty of expanding the location to entire Manitoba so people in Brandon and Thompson will also see the notice. OhanaUnitedTalk page 07:06, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Misc info:

  • Reason for requesting: To engage Wikipedia readers and editors from Hong Kong to take part in the discussions for the Wikipedia 15 celebrations in Hong Kong. The left sign is at present only available in Chinese, an English version should come within a week. Someone previously blamed that my English proficiency is not very good, so maybe it needs a copyedit before being posted. Another doubt is that if complicated codes (HTML, wikicodes) are allowed.

@Jhayward001: I don't think that we can target ISO3166 regions smaller than a whole country. We certainly can't set up a single message to target more than one area - however that area is defined. Also, geolocation within the UK is ropy, to say the least - see User:Redrose64#Where am I? - at present, my IP address geolocates to 51°30′N 0°08′W / 51.50°N 0.13°W / 51.50; -0.13, more than fifty miles off. It might be best to specify the diagonally opposite corners of a rectangle. --Redrose64 (talk) 20:06, 12 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Andrew! The Netherlands is a small country, but still... usually people from the ('far') North/East/South rarely go to events in the Randstad area.

@Lirazelf: As a UK meetup, it qualifies for the general UK entry, so I added it there. I also added it to all the other meetup lists: Template:Meetup/June 2015; Template:UK Wikipedia meetups; Template:Meetup-UK; Wikipedia:Meetup/UK#Glasgow; m:Meetup/UK/Footer list; and m:Template:Meetup list. --Redrose64 (talk) 17:18, 4 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]
