Wiki Explores Sikkim - Phase II
Wiki Explores Sikkim - Phase II is a nine day event to document some areas in and adjacent of State of Sikkim, India. This event has been planned to explore the northern part of state of Sikkim and its various important places and monuments and heritage structures. This is the second time that Sikkim will be included in the Wiki exploration project. The monuments are not explored as much as they should be and there are not sufficient related media in Commons too. Hence a detailed exploration is needed to gather more related media in Wikimedia commons. This will help in providing supporting media while writing related articles in Wikipedia.
