The GLAM-Wiki Revolution is a short documentary about the GLAM programme in the United Kingdom. The GLAM programme is a series of partnerships between Wikimedia UK, a charity which supports Wikipedia and its editors in the UK, and cultural institutions, known collectively as GLAMs (an acronym for Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). Many choose to play host to a Wikimedian-in-Residence, who acts as a liaison between the institution and the Wikimedia community and works to open up the resources held by the institution through Wikipedia and its sister projects. This documentary gives an overview of the GLAM project in the UK by visiting Wikimedians-in-Residence around the country to learn more about the projects they have run and their experiences in the role.

The Celtic Knot Wikipedia languages conference is now in its third year.

Wikipedia is an example of open knowledge - content that is openly licensed so anyone can use it for free as long as they credit the source. We think open knowledge is important, because everyone should be able to learn about the world for free. Here we take a look at the history of copyright which helps to explain where the open knowledge movement came from. Website: 🤍 Blog: 🤍 Twitter: 🤍 Facebook: 🤍

Wikimedia UK in partnership with Coventry University held an event on Wikimedia for educators. This one-day event explored the potential of editing Wikipedia (and other Wikimedia platforms) for learning, teaching, assessment, and outreach in Higher Education. The programme hosted keynotes from Prof. Allison Littlejohn (Director of UCL Knowledge Lab) and Lorna Campbell (Senior Service Manager – Learning Technology, University of Edinburgh), and included presentations by experienced practitioners on the use of Wikipedia and its sister projects in higher education, research insights, hands-on workshops and unconference-style sessions. This was a satellite event of OER20, and participants here registered for that event to carry on the conversation from Coventry. It builds on previous work in the education sector, including a summit at Middlesex University in 2017 and the Wikimedia UK Education Meetup in 2016.

Wikimedia UK is the national chapter for the global Wikimedia movement which supports Wikipedia and its sister sites. This video showcases the work of Wikimedia UK and the community of Wikimedians in the UK as they try to address gender bias and a lack of content on Wikipedia about women. Over the last few years, many articles have been written about the #GenderGap on Wikipedia, with only a small proportion of Wikipedia editors being female, and less than 1/5th of biographical articles on the English Wikipedia being about women. Wikimedia UK aims to show what we have been doing to tackle this issue, and to encourage more people to get involved in reducing inequality and bias on Wikipedia and the broader internet.

With 55 million articles in more than 300 languages, Wikipedia attracts 1.7 billion visitors every month. The freely editable content project is supported by the Wikimedia Foundation. As of 2020, the foundation employs more than 300 people and has annual revenues of more than $100m. But at a time when truth is under assault like never before, what role does Wikipedia play in the media ecosystem? What steps is it taking to counter misinformation? And when it comes to hate speech online - should technology giants and social media platforms be the ones to moderate that?
