I think I side with Enock we can use this opportunity to organise and edit-a-thon and work on all political related posts about the elections and a possible create new accounts for notable politicians. And during the edit session we can do a little celebration if we have the means.
Also we can start a social media campaign where everyone who is part of WMGH preaches why they are grateful to Wikipedia and recommend same to others with the hashtag #Wikipedia16. We can be a bit creative about it by using influencers online who are part of WMGH.
