This month our first 24 hour project was on July 1 and was named "Works of George Bernard Shaw". Two people joined and created five articles about works of the writer. On 6th was "Raions of Moldova" which had five created pages by two participants. Then, on 8th, we held the "Archaeological sites at region of Kumanovo" and had 10 new articles by one participant. On 13th, our users' group organised the "Channel Islands" day and it was attended by two persons who contributed in four created articles. Then, on 15th, there was "World Heritage of UNESCO in Eastern Europe". That time, six articles got created and one being improved out of three people.

Five days later, there was "Macedonian Folk Songs (Ž & Z)" that scored three created articles by one user. The second last editing day, on June 22, was named "Paintings by Edgar Degas" and in that occasion three men were included and created six articles and one template. The final was called "Ethnic peoples in China" which produced two brand new articles by one participant.

Photohunt in Galičnik[edit]

On 20th of the month, three Wikipedians headed to the village of Galičnik, which is 110 km away by road from the capital city. The goal of this photohunt was to photograph the houses that are listed as Cultural Heritage of Macedonia. 30 houses, out of 31, were located and were photographed. Alongside the houses, several other local buildings got covered, such as the St. Paraskeva of the Balkans Church and the Villa Dosta. A total of 43 images were uploaded on Commons.
