Hi Braveheart and Spiritia. Thank you for this midpoint report and apologies for the delayed response! It sounds like this year's CEE Spring was a huge success! I know you don't have all the final statistics as there are challenges with the bots (I hope this can be sorted out!), but with at least 5,000 articles and so many contributors from all over the world (29 languages writing about 31 countries or regions), this is a huge contribution to the Wikimedia projects. Congrats also on having a challenge focused on notable women in the CEE region and creating over 300 articles on this topic! I personally really enjoyed reading the CEE Spring blog and following the contest on Facebook -- it gave me a much fuller picture of the participants, content and connections in the community. Beyond the content produced, the increased connections and cultural understanding is so very important. We're looking forward to updates in your final report. Thank you for all your work on this great project! Cheers, Alex Wang (WMF) (talk) 20:29, 17 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Thank you, Alex! We're motivated to complete all the statistics and have our final report submitted by the end of August. :) Spiritia 20:14, 18 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
