Maithili Wikimedians User Group/Events/Promotion of Maithili Wikipedia
Promotion of Maithili Wikipedia is an awareness campaign to promote Maithili Wikipedia to the students, writers and peoples of different backgrounds of Rajbiraj. The main aim of the campaign is to engage and make new readers of Maithili Wikipedia. The campaign started in May 2018 and ended in October 2018.
Activities
[edit]To engage new readers for Maithili Wikipedia, the members of MWUG initiated Rickshaw announcement to inform the local people of Rajbiraj about Maithili Wikipedia. The announcement was done in all the 16 wards of Rajbiraj in 4 successful stages. Apart from the Rickshaw announcement, we have fixed the Maithili Wikipedia Content's related Hoarding boards at the most important places of Rajbiraj as well as in 7 e-rickshaw to promote the campaign. We also arranged an orientation class at Galaxy Higher Secondary School to give our Wiki related knowledge to students of 10+2 of science and management stream. At last, we arranged meetup with interested people of Rajbiraj which includes students, writers, journalists and socially aware people.
