{{Meetup}}
'''Adelaide Meetup''' is a periodic gathering of Wikipedians and other Wikimedians from [[Adelaide]] and surrounding areas to discuss their experiences with the project and foster collegiality between local editors. It is organised by participants of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Adelaide|WikiProject Adelaide]]. The [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 1|inaugural meeting]] was held on [[21 August]] [[2006]], and the list below provides a list of past events and a summary of their outcomes.

In 2014 a series of monthly meetings were held, with guest speakers invited to present their views on how Wikipedia articles on South Australian topics could be improved. One edit-a-thon was held, but due to low attendance, meetings since that time have been held at irregular intervals. 

(''For a '''list of future Adelaide Meetups''', see [[Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Future meetings]]. This page includes a section:'' A "how to" guide for setting up a Meeting.)

==Meetup 4 - 15 January 2011 - WP10 ==

[[Image:WP Adelaide meetup 4.jpg|240px|thumb|right|Everyone quickly giving a smile for one of the many cameras present]]

== Meetup 5 - 12 June 2011==
{{Main|Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 5}}
As [[User:Wittylama|Liam Wyatt]] was in Adelaide for a short time, we thought it would be nice to see if we could run a short-notice meetup, as it should be fun. Thus we're meeting at 6pm, Sunday 12 June 2011 at Bruneli's on Rundle Street (down the Rundle Mall end, just past the entrance to the big car park that has Hungry Jacks under it). There are some suggestions of beer afterwards, which would be a good thing. 

==Meetup 6 - 18 February 2012==
{{Main|Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 6}}

The first proposed date for Meetup #6 in November 2011 attracted no interest, so February 2012 was chosen instead. Very few editors attended, possibly because 11 am on Saturday is not a very convenient time.

==Meetup 7 - 22 November 2012 / 27 January 2013==
{{Main|Wikipedia:Meetup/Adelaide/Meetup 7}}

The Meetup was originally scheduled for 22 November 2012, but this turned out to be another poorly attended event. It seems that holding impromptu meetings at short notice is not likely to attract many editors. 

Despite this the Meetup was rescheduled for 27 January 2013, and this time the event attracted more participants, established editors with a broad spectrum of common interests. [[User:Bahudhara|Bahudhara]] ([[User talk:Bahudhara|talk]]) 05:38, 4 June 2014 (UTC)
