 @WikimediaDC Mastercard Volunteer Day @ Home: PRIDE Wikipedia Edit-a-thon

In (virtual) celebration of Pride Month, Arlington PRIDE is partnering with Wikimedia DC to host a Pride Edit-a-thon. We’ll be writing and improving articles about the LGBTQ community.

It’s a great way to learn more about the LGBTQ community and give back by making information more accessible to others! No prior editing experience required!

Wikimedia Affiliates

 * Wikimedia movement affiliates model


 * Chapters
 * Wikimedia chapters are independent organizations founded to support and promote the Wikimedia projects in a specified geographical region (in most cases, a country). Like the Wikimedia Foundation, they aim to "empower and engage people around the world to collect and develop educational content under a free license or in the public domain, and to disseminate it effectively and globally". There are currently 39 chapters, with at least one on every inhabited continent., i.e. Wikimedia DC


 * Wikimedia thematic organizations
 * Thematic organizations are incorporated independent non-profits representing the Wikimedia movement and supporting work focused on a specific theme, topic, subject or issue within or across countries and regions. i.e., Wikimedia Medicine.


 * User groups
 * Wikimedia user groups are intended to be simple and flexible affiliates that are an alternative to chapters and thematic organizations - which require more formal requirements. User groups are highly valued as equal players in the Wikimedia movement, i.e., Art+Feminism
