Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Save the date: WikiGap Challenge

Dear all,

A quick save the date:

On *Sunday 8 March*, the International Women's Day, we are launching
the WikiGap
Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> [1] for the
second year in a row.

The aim of the challenge, which will run until 8 April, is to create and
improve articles to strengthen Wikipedia's coverage of women and related
topics in as many languages as possible.

This year, we are teaming up with UN Human Rights Office. A set of articles
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/List> [2] on women
active in human rights will give bonus points, and the winner of the
challenge will get an opportunity to participate for a couple of days in
some events organised by UN Human Rights on the margins of the June session
of the Human Rights Council in Geneva.

The challenge is a part of the *WikiGap campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap>*, [3] co-organized by the Swedish
Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Wikimedia Sverige, Swedish embassies and
Wikimedia affiliates and volunteers across the world.

Sign up <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/Participants> as
a participant already now! We look forward to seeing you in the competition
:-)

Best,
*Eric Luth*

Hi all,

Now, the WikiGap Challenge is live, running until 8 April!
37 participants are already signed up, creating, improving and referencing
articles about women. After one day, about 60 articles have been created in
a dozen languages, and many more improved upon.
Last year, in total 86 editors participated. Can we beat that this year?

Would be great to see many of you join!
