About Wikimedia in Scotland
|
Welcome! to the page for Wikimedia in Scotland, a sub-group of Wikimedia UK working on improving the quality of content relating to Scotland on all Wikimedia projects and outreach to relevant cultural institutions within Scotland.
If you share our objectives, why not get involved? You can come along to one of our events, join the UK-wide email discussion list, and become a member for just £5.
Wikimedia UK is a not-for-profit Company Limited by Guarantee. They are supported entirely by voluntary donations (principally through the annual Wikimedia fundraiser). Please note that they are a separate organization from the Wikimedia Foundation, and have no control over Wikipedia or any other Wikimedia Foundation projects.

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, an 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, 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?
