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 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
