Wikimedia Community User Group Sri Lanka (officially abbreviated as UG-LK) is a non-profit community with an aim of unifying, empowering, and growing the Wikimedian community in Sri Lanka. The initial objectives of this community includes increasing awareness of Wikimedia and its projects, introducing more people to the editing environment, and scaling-up the coverage on Sri Lankan history, geography, and other key topics. Future plans include holding edit-a-thons and collaborating with the local government to digitize and upload historic documents, photographs, and other information.

Past[edit]

Photowalks covering tallest structures in Colombo[edit]

Obtaining of new/updated photos of the tallest structures in Colombo, for uploading on Commons. The photowalk was conducted over a span of two days (March 9th and March 21st) by User:Rehman and User:Azeez, with the intention of being a sample photowalk for the UGLK community, and hopefully to encourage for more members to organize and/or participate in offline events.

Day 2 of 2[edit]
Day 1 of 2[edit]

Usergroup assets[edit]

WMF-funded photographic equipment is available for use by members of usergroup who are established at one or more Wikimedia projects. The equipment (consisting of a Nikon P900 and various accessories) can be used by members of the usergroup to add or improve topics across the Wikimedia projects. Please click here for more information.

Future plans[edit]

  • Notify existing local editors, and hold first meetup and edit-a-thon to get the group together
  • Introduce professionals from the Department of Archives, National Museums, and more...
  • Introduce the Wikipedias to undergrads/university students at places like National Youth Service Centre
