Feminist Magazine #SpareRib published a pattern for a handknitted jumper in 1982. As volunteer Becky knitted one up for our collection, the more there was to learn about the jumper & its position in the history of knitting & feminism 🧶🪡 https://t.co/PcNH2uNfAP

It's Wikipedia Day! 23 years young. Pretty incredible when you think about it. We all owe a huge debt of gratitude to the volunteers who have spent hours/days/weeks/months/years/DECADES making this amazing thing #WikipediaDay #Wikipedia
On this day in 2001 Wikipedia was made! The Internet would be a very different place without this encyclopaedia, and it's free for everyone, forever. What's your favourite article? #WikipediaDay

Over this past year the UK editing community has been as determined as ever to advance open knowledge online. An encyclopaedia is most valuable when it represents us all, and our community strives to make the Wikimedia projects do just that. Find out how: https://t.co/eg4t5Xz3H3

Did you know that Wikipedia doesn’t accurately reflect women’s histories? Wikipedia is the 7th most visited website in the world but currently only 1 in 5 of Wikipedia’s biographies are about women.
I'm really proud to volunteer to edit Wikipedia - along with 100,000s others around the world - I'm not paid, none of us are. We put the time in because we fundamentally believe that access to knowledge is a human right.
