*World Environment Day is fast approaching! We are calling upon our community to help build up and add to the information about climate change, the environment and Ireland’s natural heritage on Wikipedia, the world’s digital encyclopedia and Vicipéid. *
Each month, we will be hosting an online *Meitheal* <https://wikimedia.ie/2025/03/06/tionscadal-nua-meitheal-nua-ceardlann-meithealwiki-13u-marta-ar-line/> or* community editing event* in English and Irish to improve content related to a different theme. Then at our Community meetings, we can celebrate how much we accomplished together, share any challenges or new snippets of knowledge we came across while editing! We will also be able to help each other out and share skills. You can find this month’s task list here <https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16r-LHcmDM2m9qrV-4xg54t1vkrm3J3SL967d5POtvZ8/edit?usp=sharing>. It has pages that need more content in both languages, and also red links, or pages that are missing from Wikipedia. These articles present opportunities for contributors to enhance Wikipedia’s coverage of Ireland’s environmental landscape by adding detailed information, reliable sources, and relevant images. If you’re interested in contributing, consider exploring these topics further and enriching the content for the benefit of all readers. You can also contribute to the monthly MeithealWiki by adding images (don’t forget to enter the Wiki Loves Earth photo contest <https://wikimedia.ie/2025/05/01/the-wiki-loves-earth-2025-photo-contest-opens-may-1st-july-31st/> if you do!), fixing typos, adding references and citations, anything you have time to do is valid and helpful! June’s Theme is Wiki Loves Earth Participating in *Wiki Loves Earth* is a wonderful way to contribute to the documentation and appreciation of Ireland’s natural heritage. Building upon the previous list, here are additional Wikipedia articles related to Irish natural heritage, protected landscapes, geoparks, biodiversity, climate activism, and environmental science that are either stubs needing expansion, lack citations, or could benefit from additional images. How to get involved: 1. Register with your Wikipedia username on the Dashboard here. <https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Wikimedia_Community_Ireland/Meitheal_Wiki_Wiki_Loves_Earth_Ireland_Community_Editathon_2025_(June_1st_2025)?enroll=> 2.

Come along to our Community Meeting on June 24th at 6 pm to discuss and chat with like-minded individuals.
