Senior Wikipedians
WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older has been inactive for some time. The following three proposals may help invigorate this project.


 * 1) Change the name of this project to WikiProject Senior Wikipedians.
 * 2) Open membership in this project to users who are at least 60 years of age and have made at least 50 edits in the past year.
 * 3) Open supporting membership in this project to users who are less than 60 years old but have made at least 50 edits in the past year and support the goals of this project.

Suggested goals for this project:


 * 1) To support collaboration and communication among members for the advancement and improvement of Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
 * 2) To encourage older people, retired people, and soon-to-be-retired people to participate in Wikipedia both for the advancement of the encyclopedia and for their own personal enjoyment.
 * 3) To encourage older people to share their experience and expertise for the improvement of Wikipedia.
 * 4) To encourage older users to use their experience and expertise to help younger and less experienced users.
 * 5) To encourage participation in local and regional Wikimedia events.
 * 6) To sponsor Wikipedia meetings and classes at places where older people gather.
 * 7) To advocate for the elimination of ageism and sexism in Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement.
