Hello everyone, Happy New Year! I hope you all had a lovely break and are settling into 2026 well.
Wikimedia UK is kicking off 2026 with an Online Public Edit-a-thon on* Thursday 5th February 6pm - 8.30pm. *The event will focus on *enhancing the coverage on Wikipedia of Women involved in the Sustainable Development Goals <https://sdgs.un.org/goals> of Climate Action, Life Under Water and Life on Land. * If you are new to editing Wikipedia this is the perfect place to come and learn how you can contribute to the largest free online encyclopedia and have an opportunity to practice your first edits in a structured learning environment. If you already edit, you can come along to brush up on your editing skills and ask any Wikipedia editing related questions you may have. The first half of the session will include an Introduction to Wikipedia Editing Presentation and then there will be some time to make some edits and ask questions along the way! You can book your tickets using the link below. https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1977498554409?aff=oddtdtcreator <https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/1977498554409?aff=oddtdtcreator> Further details about the session, including Zoom link, will be sent to all participants who sign up.
