Dear all,
Please fill out this form if you want to take advantage of the Wikimedia South Africa Bookshelf service. This service allows Wikipedia editors who are editing on Southern African subjects to Membership of the Wikimedia South Africa chapter is not necessary to take advantage of this program but members are prioritised.
A requirement is that the books will be used in the editing of Wikipedia. Participants in this program recognise that the books procured through this process are the property of Wikimedia South Africa and as such beneficiaries of this program agree to share these books with other Wikipedia editors upon request. A new form will need to be filled out for each book you wish to get.
You can take advantage of this program by either requesting that the Chapter purchase the book on your behalf and send it to you or you can purchase the book and then request reimbursement once you have submitted proof of purchase. If you want reimbursement then please contact the chapter at info@wikimedia.org.za
Wikimedia South Africa has a limited budget for this project so we can only purchase or issue reimbursements if the books are not too expensive (generally below R600). Special consideration might be made in exceptional circumstances but that will need to be discussed with the chapter beforehand.
