Dear MoveCom members,
I hope that you are all well and keeping healthy and safe. As you know,
Wikipedia's 20th birthday (aka Wikipedia 20) is coming up in January! We
wanted to get the information out to you so you can join our discussions.
We have created a Meta-Wiki hub as a central place for coordination around
the 20th birthday.[1] It is set up similarly to Wikipedia 15 pages. It is
designed to help coordinate community efforts and will have resources to
support outreach, events, and other forms of celebration throughout 2021.
An overview of the Foundation’s planned activities (work in progress) can
be found here [2] and at the bottom of this email. If your affiliate or
other organized group already has a plan (or the beginnings of a plan), we
invite you to share it on this page as well, or use the Talk page for
discussions.[3]
Looking forward to hearing from you about all the exciting things you are
planning for Wikipedia 20!
All the best,
Lena

What is the Wikimedia Foundation doing for the 20th birthday?
We want to use this anniversary as a celebration of the 20 years that have
brought us here, and share in the anticipation of what’s to come. We are
celebrating how humans made Wikipedia what it is, and only humans can help
sustain and grow it. We are celebrating *20 years human*!
When is this taking place?
The 20th birthday celebrations will begin in January 2021 and continue
throughout the year 2021 with different activities and a single, unifying
theme: “20 Years Human”.
What is the objective?
Increase the public’s support for our movement by changing the perception
of Wikipedia from being seen as a website, to a part of the larger
movement, and celebrate how humans made Wikipedia what it is.
What is being developed and when? (work in progress)
