Twitch Wikipedia editing at lunchtime

Rebecca is continuing her twice weekly Twitch Wikipedia editing live stream every Monday and Wednesday at lunchtime, exploring the wider world of Wikipedia. As always, if you have anything you'd like covered during the streams, or have any questions or queries, let her know!

Get involved!

If you, your group, or organisation want to run a virtual Wikimedia workshop, we can provide a Zoom space in which we can hold an editing or other workshop for you and your colleagues.

Or if you would like to attend our monthly online meetings, one the second Tuesday of the month from 7pm, get in touch at wikimediaireland[at]gmail.com
