Hi everyone, Recently, we organised a Wikipedia editathon on Indian women boxers to commemorate the Women's World Boxing Championship 2018 being held in New Delhi this month.
The editathon was successful, although we had only 5 editors, we were able to create new articles for many Indian women boxers. You can read the report here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FII_Wiki_Project/Edit-a-thons/Indian_Women_Boxers Also, Outlook Magazine did a video feature on our editathon and I wanted to share it with all of you. Please do watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-knUOsh7cT0 Thanks, Japleen On Sat, 13 Oct 2018 at 12:45, Japleen Pasricha <japleenpasri...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hello, > > I recently saw an email from Odia Wikimedia that they are organising month > long editathons for Men's Hockey World Cup.
