Further participation

Here are a few ways you could help The Wikipedia Library effectively leverage this partnership:

• Add {{Wikipedia:Royal Pharmaceutical Society/Userbox}} to your user boxes if you have access to this database. This helps us share our project with other experienced users.
• TWL is interested in having guest bloggers. Guest blogging gives the opportunity for both The Wikipedia Library and RSC to profile our partnership, and it gives the guest bloggers a new platform to share their editing experience with others (which is good for the Wikimedia community).
