Hi again, A few further WikiGap updates!
- We are launching the global campaign and the WikiGap Challenge with a virtual event on 8 March. Find out more on the page on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap/2021/Global_kickoff> or in the Facebook event <https://www.facebook.com/events/109257844426064>, and register here <https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikigap-kicking-off-the-global-campaign-tickets-141801918355?ref=estw> . - We have now published some guidance on how to organize a successful WikiGap event virtually. As with all things Wikip/median, it is not finished – and I would love to have your thoughts and input, either here or on the talk page. You find the guidance here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap/Virtual_WikiGap>. - We will run a WikiGap Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> this year too, of course. Like last year, women human rights defenders will be an important focus. We are also, with input from many previous attendees, re-doing the points system a bit. It is not fully established yet – so feel free to reach out with feedback and input also now. - Do you want to organize a WikiGap event but don't know how? Reach out to me and my colleagues and I will do our best to help!
