We celebrated Arabic Wikipedia's anniversary

In a new kind of experience, Wikimedia Levant helped facilitate organized teams of contributors to collaboratively create high-quality featured content on Arabic Wikipedia's 16th anniversary (July 11th). The teams were set up a few weeks in advance, so that less-experienced users would have the to learn basic editing and prepare the required content. This year's participation to the anniversary was unique in its high focus on quality, as well as in including a very significant percentage of new users. Overall, Wikimedia Levant members contributed to and nominated 4 featured articles (examples: Binary search algorithm, Leonardo da Vinci and May Ziadeh), 6 good articles (example: Guillain–Barré syndrome, Salfit and Khalil al-Wazir) and 2 featured lists (List of Syrian banknotes and List of medical schools in the United Kingdom), all of which were successfully promoted. Additionally, several images were translated and several other articles improved or created.
