Wikimedia in Scotland

About Wikimedia in Scotland Welcome! to the page for Wikimedia in Scotland, a sub-group of Wikimedia UK working to improve the quality of Scotland-related content across all Wikimedia Foundation projects, and outreach to appropriate cultural institutions within Scotland. If you share our objectives, please think about getting involved! You can come along to one of our events, join the UK-wide email discussion list, and even become a member for just £5. Wikimedia UK is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee. We are supported entirely by voluntary donations – principally through the annual Wikimedia fundraiser. Please note that we are a distinct organization from the US-based Wikimedia Foundation, and have no control over Wikipedia or other Wikimedia Foundation projects.
