History

[edit source]

The group was founded in August 2010 by student MichChemGSI as the Wikipedians of the University of Michigan. It was the first student Wikipedia club in the United States.[1] In Fall 2010 the group was visited by Frank Schulenburg, head of public outreach for the Wikimedia Foundation.[3]

In July 2011, the group changed its name to Michigan Wikipedians. The most recent in-person meeting of the Michigan Wikipedians was held on April 17, 2014.
