Wadewitz tribute event

I've just added a request to the geonotice page. I apologise for the rush, but all the tributes to User:Wadewitz are supposed to be in May, and no one else was doing anything in London, so I took it upon myself. Your help in ecpediting this would be much appreciated -- the tribute is this Saturday 31 May. (No, I don't know what I've let myself in for.) Carbon Caryatid (talk) 16:43, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
