Wiki Loves Pride!

You are invited to participate in Wiki Loves Pride!

  • What? Wiki Loves Pride, a campaign to document and photograph LGBT culture and history, including pride events
  • When? June 2015
  • How can you help?
    1.) Create or improve LGBT-related articles and showcase the results of your work here
    2.) Upload photographs or other media related to LGBT culture and history, including pride events, and add images to relevant Wikipedia articles; feel free to create a subpage with a gallery of your images (see examples from last year)
    3.) Contribute to an LGBT-related task force at another Wikimedia project (Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons, Wikivoyage, etc.)

Or, view or update the current list of Tasks. This campaign is supported by the Wikimedia LGBT+ User Group, an officially recognized affiliate of the Wikimedia Foundation. Visit the group's page at Meta-Wiki for more information, or follow Wikimedia LGBT+ on Facebook. Remember, Wiki Loves Pride is about creating and improving LGBT-related content at Wikimedia projects, and content should have a neutral point of view. One does not need to identify as LGBT or any other gender or sexual minority to participate. This campaign is about adding accurate, reliable information to Wikipedia, plain and simple, and all are welcome!

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the campaign's main talk page.


Thanks, and happy editing!

Editathon, 8 August 2015

You are invited to an editathon in Widnes (handy for North Wales!) on Saturday 8 August. Though the focus is chemistry, non-scientists are welcome to attend; there will be plenty for you to do, on articles like biographies and company histories.

Racist comments

I wonder whether other contributors would agree with me that this comment borders on racism? Deb (talk) 13:17, 12 November 2015 (UTC)

Whether racist or not, it is blatant WP:Canvassing, which resulted in this. Notification (relating to both editors) should be made at WP:AN/I and the closing admin advised that the CfD was subject to inappropriate canvassing. Daicaregos (talk) 14:10, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
Some of us are too busy burning holiday cottages to reply, sorry. Martinevans123 (talk) 14:16, 12 November 2015 (UTC)
