Commons:Wiki Loves Africa 2025
Out of the millions of subjects you can read about on Wikipedia, those that relate to Africa have the least coverage. This is due to a number of reasons, but some are linked to the fact that many people do not know that they can have the knowledge of their continent and cultures reflected on Wikipedia by donating their images, videos and audio to Wikimedia. The richness, diversity and beauty of Africa deserves to be visually celebrated on Wikipedia.
YOU can help to do this. It's super simple and everyone is welcome to participate!
What should YOU contribute? Pictures! Audio! Videos!
The theme Farm to Plate calls for the submission of media (photos, audio, video) that portrays fields, agricultural practices, farm products, farm machines, people farming, food transformation and processing, cooking, restaurants, dressing on plates, cooking material and the entire process (or a segment of it) that in consists of transforming farm produce into food.
