Event Announcement: OUT of the Archive + Into the Record - Wiki Loves Pride 2026 at the NLI & IQA
by Amy O'Riordan 19 May '26

19 May '26

A chairde, We are delighted to share details of an exciting collaboration we have been working on; our upcoming Wiki Loves Pride 2026 event and we would love to see you there. On Friday 19 June, Wikimedia Community Ireland is hosting OUT of the Archive + Into the Record at the National Library of Ireland <https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/out-of-the-archive-into-the-record-wiki-loves-p…>, on Kildare Street Dublin 2 in partnership with the NLI and the Irish Queer Archive. This is a free, full-day public event bringing people together to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Irish LGBTQ+ history. Irish queer history is still missing on Wikipedia. This day is about changing that. The day includes talks from historians and archivists on Irish LGBT history, access to selected NLI special collections, lunch provided, a hands-on Wikipedia editing workshop, and a community meitheal editing marathon with live impact tracking. There is also an optional Dublin queer history photo walk and scavenger hunt, with photos entered into the Wiki Loves Pride 2026 Photo Competition running June through August. No Wikipedia editing experience needed. Everyone is welcome. For our community and the NLI team registration opens early, and you can do so with the details below. Register here: https://www.eventbrite.ie/e/out-of-the-archive-into-the-record-wiki-loves-p… Use code WLPDUBLIN2026 to access early registration before the event opens to the general public on 22 May. Spaces are limited - book early to avoid FOMO <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_of_missing_out>. Please review the accessibility information and FAQs on the Eventbrite listing before registering as part of the event is unfortunately not wheelcahir accessible.

Nuacht na Seachtaine | This Week's News: Wiki Loves Earth, Togra Vicipéide nua & For Tech Sake Pod Interview!
by Amy O'Riordan 08 May '26

08 May '26

A chairde, Hope the week has treated you well - checking in on a Friday evening with a few things worth knowing about while we wind the week down. *🌿 Wiki Loves Earth Ireland 2026 is open* Just in case you missed the mention in our April newsletter <https://wikimedia.ie/2026/04/30/nuachtlitir-aibrean-2026-athbhreithniu-ar-a…>, the 7th annual Wiki Loves Earth photography competition opened on 1 May and runs until 30 June 2026. If you're out and about this month - walking, hiking, or just passing through somewhere interesting - you're eligible to enter. Photograph any natural protected area on the island of Ireland (National Parks, Special Areas of Conservation, Ramsar Sites) and upload to Wikimedia Commons under a free licence. Full details: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2026_in_Ireland *🌱 Is Breá le Vicí an Domhan 2026: Tionscadal eagarthóireachta ar Vicipéid* Ag rith in éineacht leis an gcomórtas grianghrafadóireachta, tá tionscadal eagarthóireachta ar siúl againn ar Vicipéid. Tháinig an smaoineamh ó Chonan Wolff ag cruinniú mhí an Mhárta - chuir sé chun suntais go bhfuil bearna mhór ar Vicipéid na Gaeilge maidir le plandaí dúchasacha agus ionracha na hÉireann. Buíochas le Conan as an moladh sin. Is féidir leat alt nua a chruthú, alt atá ann cheana a fheabhsú, nó tagairtí, catagóirí, nó íomhánna a chur leis. Níl ort a bheith i d'eagarthóir taithíoch - tá liosta speiceas agus acmhainní úsáideacha ar fáil ar leathanach an tionscadail. Running alongside the photography competition, we are running an editorial project on Irish Wikipedia. The idea came from Conan Wolff at the March meeting - he highlighted that there is a big gap in the Irish Wikipedia regarding native and invasive plants of Ireland. Thanks to Conan for that. You can create a new article, improve an existing article, or add references, categories, or images. You don't have to be an experienced editor - there is a list of species and useful resources available on the project page. << Leathanach an tionscadail / Project page >> <https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vicip%C3%A9id:Is_Bre%C3%A1_le_Vic%C3%AD_an_Do…> > *🎙️ For Tech's Sake Podcast* This week I was a guest on the For Tech's Sake podcast , <https://shows.acast.com/for-techs-sake> recorded a few weeks ago with Elaine. We had a lovely chat about Wikipedia - the rabbit holes, the content gaps, new AI policy decisions, vandalism, reliable sources, and the volunteers who keep it all going. It was a really enjoyable conversation and a good one to share with anyone who's curious about how Wikipedia works. https://podfollow.com/for-techs-sake/episode/3d91c08d0f483850a2afa60b91ebbd… That's all from me for this week. As always, if you have any questions or want to get involved in anything above, reply here or reach me at community.manager(a)wikimedia.ie. Deireadh seachtaine deas agaibh go léir, Hope everyone has a lovely weekend! ~~~~Amy <https://ga.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9As%C3%A1ideoir:Amy_U%C3%AD_R%C3%ADord%C3…> Bainisteoir Pobail | Community Manager Pobal Éireann Wikimedia wikimedia.ie
