Brixton Wikimedia Meetup Number 8
[edit]6pm-8pm Monday 28th April 2025
Brixton Library, Brixton Oval, Brixton, London SW2 1JQ
This will be the eighth monthly meetup at Brixton Library led by the librarians with Wikimedia editing experience. It is open to all editors established, slightly confident and even the very new.
Location
[edit]
Brixton Library is on Windrush Square, in central Brixton, 2 minutes walk from Brixton tube station (Victoria line), Brixton mainline train line and also served by many buses.
We will meet on the ground floor of the library, near computers 5-8 and very close to the graphic novels.
How it works
[edit]If you've never been to a Wikimedia Meetup before, it's just a very friendly, casual get-together where we can talk about our shared hobby. If you're a total newcomer to the wiki world, or just curious, you're welcome to come and talk to experienced wiki contributors.
Themes
[edit]Two things we want to focus on this month:
- Music
- #wmuk mini edits - find out how
- Translations (see below)
Mini work list
- w:Guerilla gig - needs to be made more encyclopaedic
- Translate articles, see w:Karl Marx Alee for translation tag, we could similarly use same instructions to translate:
What to bring
[edit]You can bring your own laptop if you wish but we also will have library computers. Join the library ahead of your visit and pick up your library card at the desk.
Future meetups
[edit]We will generally have a Wikipedia meetup at the library on the last Monday of the month. As the last Monday of May falls on a bank holiday and the library will be closed, our next meetup will be Monday 30th June 2025.
Promotion
[edit]Can you help us promote the meetup? Download and share the poster above, pick up flyers from the library or please share on your social media or on your user page.
