What is the Wiki Global Check In?
We are living in complicated times. In moments like these, the Wikimedia movement is more important than ever.
The Wiki Global Check-In is a chance to check up on members of the Global Wikimedia community and gather snapshots of life during this historical moment we are all witnessing world-wide.
How do I participate?
We invite you to join the check-in by:
- Finding your timezone! Help us show the check-in around the world!
- Saying hello! We want to hear from you too!
Yes! That's it!
While you're at it, we want you to leave a time-capsule of edits; to document the movement's actions in this unprecedented time.
Here's how you can help.
- Upload a photo to Wikimedia Commons that captures something related to life in your context or part of the world during the pandemic.
- Show something you are editing that captures this moment whether it be an edit adding a reference about the news, a translation of a key topic on Wikipedia, connecting a WikiData item, transcribing a Wikisource. Share with us an edit that captures what you are working on now as a time capsule for future generations. How are you responding to this moment?
- Check in on fellow Wikimedians! Wikimedia only works when we do it as a community. Join us at 0600, 1200, 1800, 2359 GMT (+00) for our Check-In stream, live on Jitsi.
Link to follow shortly.
If you can't do more than say hello? That's okay! Just add yourself below and let us know you are there.

How to prepare:
- Add your username to the Check In Dashboard and (optional) add or translate a Wikipedia, WikiSource or WikiData entry.
- Add an image that represents your world right now during the COVID-19 Pandemic to Wiki Commons (tag: Wiki Check In 2020). This is what we are calling your "pandemic snapshot." It speaks to your context during this historic time. You do not have to be in the photo. The photo is a way to show the world what this time looks like to you where you currently are.
- Check in with 3 Wikimedians you think might also be interested in helping to represent their region by sending them this page's link: Wiki Global Check In link for your invitation to friends!
