Hi everyone!
I'm very happy to announce that the Affiliations Committee has recognized [1] Wiki Cemeteries User Group [2] as a Wikimedia User Group. The group aims to collaborate around the scope of cemeteries with existing Affiliates; connect with new partners and editors, especially in the field of traditional genealogy; understand cultural sensitivities around the theme of cemeteries; understand cemetery culture, including the role of caretakers, specialty items (e.g. flags for veterans, flower wreaths), and so forth.
Please join me in congratulating the members of this new user group!
Regards,
Rosie Stephenson-Goodknight
Chair, Affiliations Committee
