Hi all,
Just to remind people that we're still holding a virtual "London" wiki
meetup on the second Sunday of every month. Of course being virtual means
that geography is no constraint, so do join us from wherever you are. This
is a purely social affair: come along to chat about what you've been
The virtual meetups we've had so far on Zoom have been pretty successful.
There's another one happening on Sunday 14 June (nominally the "London"
meetup, but open to all)

Thank you Richard for the huge amount you've done for Wikimedia UK and the

Best wishes to you and Fiona, and I hope to see you around on- and off-line.

It appears that the security certificate for wikimedia.org.uk expired
yesterday. Is someone from the chapter looking into this?
Thanks,

Happy New Year!
I've just added a few more to
https://wikimedia.org.uk/wiki/Anniversary_articles. If like me one of your
resolutions this year is to edit more articles, there's plenty of
inspiration there, from Magna Carta to the BT Tower.

Ditto. It's something I definitely want to learn more about, and having a
group event sounds fun.

Although afaik Wiki Loves Monuments has mainly focused on getting

related articles and lists too. For example compare the lovely

It only includes a few of the largest/most active WikiProjects so as
not to overwhelm the template, but I did also give the full list at
a new clue today; and we can hash out
training for trainers and implications.
It would be good to have anyone who finds the general area interesting
contributing. There was a big emphasis at Wikimania on support for
newbies, in particular, and Peter Coombe gave a presentation on his

This sounds good, and I'd be happy to help out. Will be at Wikimania
