CEE/Newsletter/Newsroom/International Roma Day Editathon in Albania and Kosovo, 2024
- By: Vyolltsa
Albania and Kosovo joined the initiative of International Roma Day that Wikimedia Serbia and Wikimedia CEE Hub have organized in 2024 with the aim of writing and improving articles on the Roma community.
On April 13th, Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group planned one editathon in Tirana and one in Prishtina. For this editathon, Prishtina collaborated with Çikat n’STEM Hub, that closely works with the Roma community in Kosovo. A group of young Roma girls translated and improved articles for the Roma women in Kosovo.
14 contributors worked on several Wikipedia articles focusing on the Roma community. They translated 10 articles and edited 60 articles. This year, the participants made 82 total revisions on Wikidata, further enriching the knowledge available about the Roma community in Albanian. These revisions are crucial steps toward ensuring that accurate about the Roma community is accessible to all.
