About Wikimedia UK
|
Wikimedia UK (incorporated under the name "Wiki UK Limited") is the local Wikimedia chapter covering the United Kingdom.
Wikimedia UK is a separate organization from the Wikimedia Foundation, and has no control over the contents of Wikipedia or any other projects run by the Wikimedia Foundation. We exist to help collect, develop and distribute freely licensed knowledge (and other educational, cultural and historic content), which we do by supporting the charitable activities of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Our next Board Meeting will be on Tuesday 2nd March 2010 at 21:30-23:30 GMT. It will focus on the 2010 Budget and specific initiatives; a complete agenda is available here.
Our upcoming events are listed on the left-hand bar.
