I'm really pleased to announce that our first World War I - themed Editathon will be held on June 16th.
We're running this event in partnership with JISC, the UK Government's expert body on digital technologies for education and research. It will be a great opportunity to work closely with experts on military history from academia to improve Wikipedia articles on this really important topic, and I hope it will be a really successful start to Wikimedia UK's World War I Centenary outreach work.
I'd encourage anyone with an interest in World War I and military history in general to sign up, and please spread the word to anyone you know who's interested in the subject!

Many thanks,

Chris, I would anticipate major international interest in this, will there be opportunities for remote participation?
