Introduction to Wikipedia Editing

Wikimedia UKbelieves that open access to knowledge is a fundamental right, and a driver for social and economic development. A registered charity, we work with the Wikimedia Projects such as Wikipedia to enable people and organisations to contribute to a shared understanding of the world through the democratic creation, distribution and consumption of knowledge. We are committed to the ideal of a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge, and believe that here in the UK, we can play a unique and important role in realising that vision.Wikimedia UKis supported entirely by voluntary donations and welcome new members and supporters. Visit our website https://wikimedia.org.uk/about/donate/ or email fundraising@wikimedia.org.uk or call 020 3372 0760.Please note that we are a separate organisation from the Wikimedia Foundation, and have no legal control over Wikipedia.
