The Fifteen Year Society is an informal grouping of editors who have been contributing to the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more (from {{Years before now|15}} or earlier). It exists so that editors can celebrate a decade-plus of contributing to a project they are passionate about, to help form connections between long-term participants in the encyclopedia, and to allow the sharing of perspectives and expertise. It is not intended as a form of [[one-upmanship]], but as a good-natured recognition of enthusiasm and dedication.

What is the Society?[edit]

The Fifteen Year Society is an informal grouping of editors who have been contributing to the Wikipedia project for fifteen years or more (from 15 June 2009 or earlier). It exists so that editors can celebrate a decade-plus of contributing to a project they are passionate about, to help form connections between long-term participants in the encyclopedia, and to allow the sharing of perspectives and expertise. It is not intended as a form of one-upmanship, but as a good-natured recognition of enthusiasm and dedication. The Society currently has roughly 778 members. [update]

Membership[edit]
