Wiki Science 2021

The photo and image competition, Wiki Science, is now open for uploads! This year there are 7 categories: People in science, Microscopy images, Non-photographic media, Image sets, Wildlife and nature, Astronomy, and a General category. In Ireland we also award an 8th prize for an image depicting Women in STEM. The competition is open until 15 December, and as Science Week is in full swing – why not take some photos and be in with a chance of winning prizes? Here you can see the winning images from 2019, 2018 and 2017. Upload here!

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
