Dear Wikimedians of Colorado UG,
We invite your community to participate in the 6th edition of the Wikipedia
Pages Wanting Photos Campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2025>, a
global campaign taking place from July 1 to August 31, 2025.
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a
suitable photo from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia
Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves
Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
More than 60 Wikimedia affiliates have participated since the campaign was
launched in 2020 and have added images to more than 400,000 Wikipedia
articles in over 245 Wikipedia languages. Thanks to the volunteer
contributors!
We now invite your affiliate to organize and lead the campaign within your
community. As a local organizer, you may:
- Encourage individual members to take part by adding images to
Wikipedia articles.
- Host edit-a-thons focused on improving visual content.
- Organize training workshops to teach contributors how to correctly
integrate images into Wikipedia.
These activities will help build local capacity and increase visual content
across Wikipedia.
Please note that for participants to be eligible to participate in the
campaign, they need to have registered an account for at least a year
before the official start date of the contest. That is, for the 2025
edition, they must have registered an account on or before July 1, 2025.
The account can be from any Wikimedia project wikis.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP
participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically
or thematically) or for a language Wikipedia.
We would be glad for you to reply to this email, or sign up directly at WPWP
