Cardiff Welsh Language Editathon Number 1
[edit]Date and time: Saturday 30th June 2012 — 09:30 onwards

Hashtag: #cywiki

About the editathon
[edit]A social gathering for Welsh language Wicipedwyr. We have 14 computers ready for action, or you may bring your own laptop as the library also offers free wi-fi. There's free lunch too for those staying the day. Our theme will be Cardiff itself, its history and its people.
Here is a page about the editathon.
Non welsh speakers are also welcome to help work on the Welsh Language Wicipedia. Here are a few ideas:
- Here are a few articles with dead links / references which need amending. Solid refs are the backbone of every article. A very laborious task, but is a crucial one!
- Copy / paste Infoboxes (eg towns, weather) from en to cy.
- Search for databases of English and Scottish towns (and villages!) which have a few simple fields eg population, percentage of adults out of work, percentage not born in that town.... We can then mail merge this data and try and create a bot to upload.
- Counties of England. I've uploaded the "Infobox England county" to cy. I've tested it on one County: Swydd Gaerlŷr (Leicestershire). We now need to copy / paste from the rest, which you can find here.
- Correct basic WP mistakes by using the Pages:Special
And that's only a start!
Post mortem
[edit]Nearly 20 wikipedians turned up to this event - the first of it's kind in Wales, mostly through the Welsh language.
