Iranian Wikimedians User Group
The Iranian Wikimedians User Group is an independent group of Wikimedians, which is serving as the regional affiliate for Iran. We plan to use Wikimedia Iran as our main name and our would-be chapter. We are working on the chapter and hope to finish it within the next years.
