Dear all, I hope you are doing well. The Open Knowledge Initiatives (OKI) team is pleased to announce WikiRefine<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IIITH-OKI/Edit-a-thon/WikiRefine>, a 15-day article improvement campaign taking place from 7 to 21 November 2026. We invite community members from all participating language communities to take part. WikiRefine aims to encourage editors to improve the overall quality of Wikipedia articles, going beyond article creation and focusing on areas such as references, structure, readability, images, internal links and other aspects of content development. For this campaign, we have prepared lists based on the 100 most-read articles from the last five years for the participating language Wikipedias. You can find the article lists and other campaign information here<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IIITH-OKI/Edit-a-thon/WikiRefine/List_of_Articles>. We will be using the WikiEval tool<https://wikieval.toolforge.org/>, recently developed to support the Wikimedia community in evaluating Wikipedia content during campaigns. The tool will help assess article quality and track improvements made throughout WikiRefine. What happens after the campaign? WikiRefine will also serve as a preparatory activity for a follow-up in-person event focused on qualitative improvements to local-language Wikipedias. We aim to bring together the top two participants from each participating community. Their contributions will be assessed by a jury of experienced Wikimedians with knowledge of the respective languages, based on the quality of their work during the campaign. We encourage communities to identify up to three organisers for the campaign, ensuring diversity in gender and representation of both new and experienced Wikimedians. Jury members, on the other hand, should be experienced contributors with a good understanding of their respective language Wikipedias. (Community Sign-up<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/IIITH-OKI/Edit-a-thon/WikiRefine/Community_Sign-up>) We look forward to your participation and to working together towards improving the quality of knowledge available in our languages. Note: A few language Wikipedia article lists have not yet been added to the dedicated page due to a technical issue with the tool. We are working to resolve this and aim to add them before the campaign begins. Regards, Nitesh Open Knowledge Initiatives (OKI)
