We discussed Wikipedia Takes Philadelphia at local universities with Nicholas, and at University City High School with 1st LeadingEdge, and set a provisional date of October 4. We also discussed a longer-term project for photography and article-writing at University City High School over the next school year, and much of this discussion will appear in a upcoming Wikivoices podcast.
