Upcoming events

Get Involved

It's easy to get involved with Wikimedia activities in Scotland.

Get editing: Start editing today! There are 12 Wikimedia projects in all, from Wikipedia, a free Encyclopedia, to Wikinews, a free news source, or:

Upload your pictures: Wikimedia Commons is a repository of free (as in speech and as in beer) media. Upload your photos today and have them reach an audience of thousands.
Join Wikimedia UK: Membership of the UK-wide chapter is open to all and costs just £5 a year. While most members are editors of one (or more!) of the Wikimedia projects, you don't need to be.

Events: We organise dozens of events each year all across the UK, including meetups, Editathons, "Backstage Pass" events, workshops and conferences. Almost all of these events are free of charge and open to the public - why not come along and join in?
