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

 * I made this article. It's just a stub but it's better than nothing. Her daughter Elizabeth Otey was also quite an interesting woman so I may try to work on that next but off-wiki work is going to get in the way for the next few days. MarylandGeoffrey (talk) 01:49, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
