Wikimedia France/NCO

Activities[edit]

WP 10 « Wikipédia dans Rennes »[edit]

In Rennes, from Monday, May 23 to Monday, May 30, twenty Wikipedia articles went out of the encyclopedia: they were displayed on ten panels in the city. The chosen articles had a link with the city of Rennes: either it was a building, either an historical person, or an historical fact. The point is that these panels didn’t display the usual picture at the beginning of the article, but a window was made to see directly the real monument or subject behind the panel.

During this week, many interviews and recordings were given. It was also a week of meetings: inauguration on Monday, a conference was held on Wednesday, and finally Saturday a workshop was opened during the whole day.

A presentation was made during Wikimania 2011 (Video on YouTube). The 2011 WMF report picturing « Wikipédia dans Rennes ».
