Event:Wikipedia 25/Manila/Quiz articles

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki
The full slide deck, with the quiz questions included.

This is a list of articles mentioned during the Wikipedia 25 in Manila quiz. Many of these articles are for improvement, though many also feature the achievements of many editors and writers of the Tambayan Philippines WikiProject, the Philippines' WikiProject on the English Wikipedia, whether Filipino or not.

Most of these questions are English Wikipedia-centric, as we determined that the English Wikipedia was by far the most active wiki that most registered attendees edited on. Some questions about the Tagalog Wikipedia were included as well, for those who edited primarily on the Tagalog Wikipedia.

Quiz statistics are from stats.wikimedia.org and the Pageviews Tool. Assessments and page sizes were extracted using Petscan, some taken directly from Wikipedia.
