Two participants got involved in this quarter of which one was an University professor who previously was part in the WikiExperiments Projects and also once he was a member of the WikiScience Competition 2021 regional level jury. Thus, 13.33% of the total participants annual quota is achieved. There were no new participants among these two men. According to our total pages quota, in 2022 at least 40 pages in total should be covered. So far, 4 content pages were covered and that is 10% progress.
