Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedians aged 70 and older

Welcome to the the Senescent Order of Wikipedians. The purpose of this project is to gather Wikipedians over 70 years of age for mutual support and encouragement in the editing and improvement of our encyclopedia: our enduring legacy. All members and supporters are urged to propose collaborations that we can undertake on our project talk page. If you want to receive information about future project activities, please add your name to our {{nobreak|notice list}}.
