 Hi, all!

 The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in

 from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the

 For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested
 to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel

 We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag #wikinobel

 The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is

 spread this invitation to your community.

Hi Jon, thank you so much for your efforts in having Malala and Kailash
Satyarthi's pages updated. I was over the moon to see the announcements
this morning and really proud of the Norwegian Wikipedia community for
updating the pages today! I for one would love to hear about everyone's
experience being there.

(I'd also love to hear anyone's experiences about edit conflicts while
updating the pages).

I'm not sure when you were notified of the invitation, but do know that the
Foundation wants to find ways of supporting community activities like this,
so if there are any ideas on how to do that please say so.

Cheers,
Rachel

Hi Rachel,

I'd like to suggest someone in change of WMF communication to write a blog
post about this great initiative from Norwegian volunteers. Talk to those
taking the lead. :)

Such initiative should be highlighted very much, mainly after to see those
great Nobel Prizes (different from some years ago).

Hopefully I'll try to find some time next October 12, Children's Day in
Brazil, to contribute with Malala's article in the Portuguese Wikipedia.
I'm trying to spread the word among Open Knowledge Brasil community because
we were thinking to do some thing for children and teachers aligned with
our mission.

There is a short blog post about the event that went up yesterday, thanks
to the speedy turnaround of Astrid and Jon! We reached out to them right
after seeing this announcement, and they provided a quick background just a
few hours later.

http://blog.wikimedia.org/2014/10/09/wikinobel/

I agree that it would be wonderful to have another post with more details
about how this all came to together, the event itself, and what the
organizers felt were the best learning and outcomes of this new
collaboration.

Good question, Nemo. I don't know if it has been brought up, but we should
probably look into that. :-)

I tried to get a photo of Alice Munro (2013 winner of the Nobel Prize in
Literature) for her English Wikipedia article and the experience was both
difficult and disheartening. I'd personally be much more appreciative of
freely donated images of the winners over biography text. The latter is a
lot easier to create than the former, in my experience. :-)

This is an excellent event idea, congratulations to Wikimedia Norway for
organising it.
It is also a brilliant example of how Chapters and other groups around the
world can take responsability for topics that have particular
local relevance to them, and take a leadership role in the worldwide
movement in the process. In this case (an announcement of global interest,
but made in a particular building in a particular city) it also highlights
wikimedia as not just a virtual community, but a physical one, and that the
two work in tandem.

I do agree. In Amical we regularly organize small one-week long online

get in touch with new organisations, reach to new communities and get quite
a lot of press atention with relatively small organizing effort and one
small prize.
