Meetup/UK virtual/7

You can expect to meet some very keen Wikimedians, and complete newbies are also welcome, as is anyone interested in finding out more about Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. We typically chat about goings-on in the Wiki-verse and life in general, and sometimes will work together on some editing. If you have suggestions for topics, please add them below.

Suggested topics

• Working through a cleanup category seemed popular last time. Maybe we could work on w:Category:United Kingdom articles missing geocoordinate data and subcategories? Or open to any other suggestions! the wub "?!" 17:20, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

If so, remind people to add "|region:GB" so that clicking on the coords through to GeoHack offers GB-specific maps like OS. I asked a very experienced UK editor recently why he didn't use this, and he didn't know about it. PamD (talk) 21:53, 29 November 2021 (UTC)
