Wikidata birthday in Albania, 2024

Author: Vyolltsa

Summary: In celebration of Wikidata's birthday, the Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group organized a special Wikidata editathon in Elbasan, Albania. In this event, 17 students from different schools joined us for 6 hours to celebrate and enrich Wikidata in Albanian.

Social Media channels or hashtags: Telegram (language used mostly Albanian), Facebook page, X and Instagram

At the end editathon, all the participants made 1130 total revisions by adding data about people, villages, cities, Albania, Kosovo, and more.

Once again, this editathon showed the importance of how much a community can contribute to open data and free knowledge.

It was a meaningful experience to see everyone working together, building something useful that others can learn from and add to in the future.

Below are some pictures from the editathon.
