Dear African Wikimedians, We are excited to announce the launch of *WIKI LOVES PRIDE 2025 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Event:Wiki_Loves_Pride/2025>. *is a global campaign to expand and improve LGBT-related content across all Wikimedia projects, organized by Wikimedia LGBT+. It takes place throughout the entire month of June in celebration of the International
This year, the focus is "*Write Us In*" and we are calling on Wikimedians who are LGBTQI+ or interested in LGBTQI+ stories and contents across the world to join us in writing in LGBTQI+ histories, perspectives, and advocacy efforts for justice and inclusion on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. This challenge is an opportunity to: - Improve and create articles related to historical injustices, reparations, and African resilience. - Upload images and media to Wikimedia Commons to visually represent key moments in African history. - Translate content into African languages to ensure wider accessibility. - Engage in edit-a-thons and training sessionsto collaborate with fellow Wikimedians. As part of the event this year, we have a call for NODES with financial support for any group planning to organise events. We are actually keen to work with regions and groups around the world that have limited representation of content on LGBTQI+ issues. If you wish to organise a NODE and apply for support, please kindly visit this page and fill out the form <https://queeringwiki.limesurvey.net/wikilovespridenodes?lang=en> If you have further questions, please do reach out to me. -- Bisi Alimi <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Bisi_Alimi_(WMLGBT)> Executive Director WMLGBT+ <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_LGBT%2B/Portal> *"The notion of collective contribution, like the Wikipedia, is a very powerful one."- Nicholas Negroponte* *NB- I only work Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday*
