Hello fellow Wikimedians!
I wanted to invite you and your communities to participate in the second
webinar in a series of two that the Wikimedia Foundation is hosting in
collaboration with the International Science Council. This series examines
the combatting of online disinformation around scientific issues and how
the Wikimedia model can be a tool to share accurate scientific knowledge
with the global community.
This second webinar, Building Special Projects on Wikipedia: The Covid Case
Study
<https://council.science/events/building-special-projects-on-wikipedia/>,
will take place on 30 March at 12:00 UTC. This webinar will be an intimate
conversation with Wikimedian Dr. Netha Hussain and will explore how editors
and researchers can mobilize to create content around special themes on
Wikipedia, focusing on the Wikimedia community’s response to the COVID
pandemic as a case study. You can register and find more information about
these webinars at the link above.
If you were unable to participate in the first webinar, Managing Knowledge
Integrity on Information Platforms, a recording is now available here
<https://council.science/events/managing-knowledge-integrity/>.
Please feel free to share this invitation widely within your communities
and networks.
Thank you!

Hi Folks,
We encourage each and everyone of you to create a program submission. You can submit an interactive workshop or panel, a lecture, a short lighting talk or a poster for our dedicated poster session. Submissions are catered to both onsite and online (live or pre-recorded) or a hybrid combination. We would love to see submissions from all over the world, and this year there is a 'Research, Science and Medicine' track for projects relating to Wikimedia online activities that contribute valuable content on public health and wellness initiatives.
The theme for this year's Wikimania is Diversity, Collaboration, Future. Topics that strengthen collaboration and also the future are topics we like to see this year.
Session submissions for Wikimania 2023 are open until 28 March.
