Welcome to the World's First Wikipedia City Chart to show number of new articles created by the GibraltarpediA project by January 1st 2013 A colour coded map to show the number of new articles created by the GibraltarpediA project in the official languages of each country by January 1st, 2013 Our rather shy winner - Bill William Compton who wrote most of his articles in Hindi link=http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?la=en&uselang=en&lon=-5.354&lat=36.141&rang=50&map=1 Geocoded articles on Openstreetmap - Compare this with the picture and see what we have achieved Local Volunteer Guide Robert Wheeler talks about the Garrison Library Video address to announce the project at Wikimania 2012 (after John Cummings presented in person). Where the project is interested in covering John talking to ICT teachers in Gibraltar about how to use and contribute to Wiki projects in schools. Tyson Lee Holmes tries out a new plaque design at The Convent Guard Room . John talks about being Wikipedian in Residence in Gibraltar
“ Bringing a whole town to life on Wikipedia is something new and is a testament to the forward-thinking people of Monmouth, all of the volunteers and the Wiki UK team. I’m looking forward to seeing other towns and cities doing the same thing. - Jimmy Wales , co-founder of Wiki English. ”
GibraltarpediA is the first Wiki project to not only embrace a whole city, but also aspires to bridge two continents. The project aims to cover every single notable place , person, artefact, plant and animal in Gibraltar in as many languages as possible. This is a large WikiProject ; it's at least three times the size of MonmouthpediA . The area of interest includes the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, the Strait of Gibraltar , the Spanish municipalities along the coast of the Bay of Gibraltar , the northernmost coast of Morocco and Ceuta .
GibraltarpediA uses QRpedia codes, a type of bar code a smartphone can read through its camera (using one of the many free QR readers available) that takes you to a Wikipedia article in your language. QR codes are extremely useful, as physical signs have no way of displaying the same amount of information and in a potentially huge number of languages.
Articles have coordinates (geotags ) to allow a virtual tour of the town using Wiki's mobile apps (or the Wikipedia layer on Google Streetview ) and are available in augmented reality software including Layar . GibraltarpediA does not use standard black and white QR codes, in order to differentiate between our codes and other schemes and individual's codes.
There are different kinds of QR code—plaques and labels—all put up with the permission of the Government of Gibraltar and/or building owner:
Larger ceramic, metal or glass plaques for places exposed to the elements for articles specific to Gibraltar. Smaller plastic, ceramic or metal plaques for labelling objects non specific to Gibraltar, e.g. for use in the flora and fauna guide. Labels for use inside buildings, e.g. for objects within the Gibraltar Museum . Glass stickers in the windows of shops to give information on their professions In addition there will be information posters, signs, notice boards and leaflets to help people contribute and stay informed.

collapsible table of planned plaques The following is a table listing the sites which already have Wikipedia articles on or relating to them and are therefore ready to have a GibraltarpediA plaque installed. The plan is to have each QRpedia code labelled in English and one other language. We are keen to get as many languages as possible on display to show that this project (and Wikipedia) is interested in all languages:
