Wikimedia New York City is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization and local Wikimedia chapter that brings New York together to share in a richer and more representative free knowledge ecosystem.

We are committed to the vision of a Wikipedia as democratic and diverse as the New York City Subway. We seek to join with our city's cultural, educational, and community organizations in expanding access to free knowledge.

History

edit

Wikimedia New York City began as a grassroots community of Wikipedians, information professionals, and activists committed to connecting the peoples and institutions of the New York Metropolitan area with Wikipedia and the larger free-culture movement. Wikimedia NYC was recognized as an official chapter in 2009 with its members distinguishing themselves through their commitment to the larger free-culture movement and the recognition that Wikipedia exists as part of a greater information ecosystem. The realization of this early vision for the Chapter is evidenced in its partnerships, its edit-a-thons and monthly meetups, and its role in the early development and growth of projects such as AfroCROWD, Art + Feminism, "Wiki Loves …" initiatives, and other catalyzing, replicable, global efforts growing from a diverse local context.
