Wikimedia UK is working together with the [http://royalsociety.org/ Royal Society] and the [http://www.nimr.mrc.ac.uk/ Medical Research Council's National Institute for Medical Research (NIMR)] to celebrate the birthday of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosalind_Franklin Rosalind Franklin], the scientist whose work laid the foundations for the discovery of the structure of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA DNA].


Pleser o’r mwyaf yw cyhoeddi penodiad Robin Owain, ein Rheolwr cyntaf yng Nghymru.
This special event on Thursday 25 July in Mill Hill, London, features an opportunity to learn how to edit Wikipedia with a focus on articles about women in science. There is also a panel discussion led by eminent female scientists including [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Athene_Donald Professor Dame Athene Donald] of Cambridge University and a presentation on the life and work of Rosalind Franklin.  


Dechreuodd Robin ar y gwaith heddiw, a bydd yn arwain y [[Llwybrau Byw - Living Paths Project Recruitment|prosiect Llwybrau Byw]]! Bydd hefyd yn arwain ein hymgais i ehangu’r Wicipedia Cymraeg a’r Wikipedia Saesneg yng Nghymru.
This event is part of a series that is planned to celebrate the centenary of the [http://www.centenary.mrc.ac.uk/ Medical Research Council] and all are welcome. Attendees will have access to a variety of excellent sources from, amongst others, the MRC, The Royal Society and the Wellcome Trust. We will have trainers available to take you through editing Wikipedia, and librarians able to explain more about the collection.  


Bydd ei swydd yn para am 12 mis. Dywedodd Robin: “Mae mynd i fewn – i ganol y gweithgareddau – gan ddangos i werin Cymru be allant wneud yn rhoi byz anhygoel i mi: gall bawb fod yn awdur, yn gyhoeddwr ac yn addysgwr drwy gyfrwng Wicipedia, a rhoi yn ôl rhywbeth gwerthfawr iawn i gymdeithas.
It's free to take part but pre-booking is required. You can reserve your space here (http://nimr-women-in-science.eventbrite.co.uk/). For more information please contact Daria Cybulska, Wikimedia UK's Programme Manager – daria.cybulska@wikimedia.org.uk


“Mae bod yn rhan o Wikimedia UK a Wici Cymru (dau griw bendigedig) yn sylfaen gadarn yn fy ngwaith o gerdded y Llwybrau Byw.”

Dywedodd Jon Davies, Prif Weithredwr Wikimedia UK, “Mae penodiad Robin fel ein Rheolwr yng Nghymru yn rhan hanfodol o’n strategath ”outreach”. Wicipedia Cymraeg ydy’r wefan Gymraeg fwyaf boblogaidd yn y byd ac rydym yn ymfalchio ein bod yn medru cefnogi’r Gymrag.
 
“Er gwaetha’r ffaith fy mod yn hanner Cymro fy hun, mae fy ngwybodaeth o’r Gymraeg yn fach, ond dw i’n falch iawn fy mod yn medru cynorthwyo i’w bywiogi fel hyn, er mor fychan yw’r cyfraniad hwnnw.”

Wikimedia UK and Wici Cymru are delighted to announce the appointment of Robin Owain as our very first Wales Manager.
Robin will be taking a lead on our [[Llwybrau_Byw_-_Living_Paths_Project_Recruitment|Llwybrau Byw – Living Paths Project]]. He will also be leading our efforts to expand both Wicipedia Cymraeg and the English language Wikipedia in Wales.
 
Robin began work yesterday and his post will run for 12 months. Robin said: “Getting in there – into the thick of it – to show ordinary people what they can do gives me a buzz: everyone can be a writer, a publisher, a teacher and give something good back, through Wikipedia, to society.
 
“Being part of Wikimedia UK and Wici Cymru (two wonderful groups of people!) is the granite foundation on which I walk the living paths.”
 
Jon Davies, Chief Executive of Wikimedia UK, said: “Robin’s appointment as our Wales Manager is a vital part of our outreach strategy. Wicipedia Cymraeg is the world’s most popular Welsh language website and we are proud to support the Welsh language.
 
“Despite being half-Welsh my knowledge of the Welsh language is far too limited. I am pleased to be doing my small bit to help it thrive.” <span class="plainlinks">[http://blog.wikimedia.org.uk/2013/07/wikimedia-uk-yn-penodi-rheolwr-i-gymru-wikimedia-uk-appoints-wales-manager/ <nowiki>[</nowiki>Continues...<nowiki>]</nowiki>]</span>

Open knowledge for all

Our website

If you'd like to see what Wikimedia UK is working on, our website is the best place for our community of volunteers, donors and members to stay up to date.

About Wikimedia UK

The Wikimedia projects are special: they are written and curated by thousands of volunteers. They are also supported by voluntary donations, through Wikimedia UK, the Wikimedia Foundation and other international chapters.

Wikimedia UK is a charity registered in England and Wales that supports and promotes Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects such as Wikimedia Commons. Our mission is to help people and organisations create and preserve open knowledge, and to help provide easy access for all. We do this by supporting volunteer editors and contributors ('Wikimedians'), by working in partnership with cultural and educational institutions, by hosting training sessions and editing events, and by acting to advocate the benefits of open knowledge generally.

There are several ways to get involved in the charity's work. You can become a member for just £5 per year. You can volunteer to work with us in a variety of ways, both online and offline. You can also make a donation (and if you're a UK taxpayer, we can claim Gift Aid). Subscribe to our Friends' Newsletter to stay in touch. Click the buttons below to learn more.
