Adelaide Meetup Next: 9 October 2026 Last: 4 September 2026

Adelaide Meetup is a periodic gathering of Wikipedians and other Wikimedians from Adelaide, surrounding areas, and occasionally interstate, to discuss their experiences with the project and foster collegiality between local editors. It is organised by participants of WikiProject Adelaide. The inaugural meeting was held on 21 August 2006, and the list below provides a list of past events and a summary of their outcomes.

In 2014 a series of monthly meetings were held, with guest speakers invited to present their views on how Wikipedia articles on South Australian topics could be improved. One edit-a-thon was held, but due to low attendance, meetings since that time have been held at irregular intervals.

Commencing in March 2026, a series of monthly edit-a-thons are being held with hybrid in-person and Zoom participation.

NEXT: Edit-a-thon 10 - 9 October 2026

Further information: Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Edit-a-thon 10

A basic workshop on Wikipedia editing and uploading images to Commons will be held on 9 October 2026. It will be aimed at new editors and lead by Wikimedia Australia staff members AlphaLemur and BindiS, assisted by other local editors.
