“
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 Wikimedia UK team. I’m looking forward to seeing other towns and cities doing the same thing. -Jimmy Wales ,co-founder of Wikipedia.[1]
”
GibraltarpediA is the firstWikipedia project to not only embrace a whole city, but also aspires to bridge two continents. The project aims to cover every singlenotable place ,person, artefact, plant and animal inGibraltar in as many languages as possible. This is a largeWikiProject ;it's at least three times the size ofMonmouthpediA .The area of interest includes theBritish Overseas Territory of Gibraltar, theStrait of Gibraltar ,theSpanish municipalities along the coast of theBay of Gibraltar ,the northernmost coast ofMorocco andCeuta .
GibraltarpediA usesQRpedia codes, a type of bar code asmartphone 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 usingWikipedia's mobile apps (or the Wikipedia layer onGoogle Streetview ) and are available in augmented reality software includingLayar .
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 theGovernment 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 theGibraltar 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 aGibraltarpediA 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:
