Description

Hello everyone!

I have a confession; my name is Kirsty and I am a Wiki contributor!

One of my favourite things to do is upload photos of monuments, plants, and landscapes to Wikimedia Commons. It's like Pokemon Go for grown ups! The pictures are then used by other contributors to improve articles about said items. 

Is this something you'd like to try? If so, sign up for a Wiki account and then log into our dashboard. All I ask in return is that you upload one image over the Weekend of Celebration (4-6 October). Obviously I am hoping that you might upload many more! You don't need any fancy equipment; the camera on your phone is definitely good enough.
