Afrika is in opkomst maar is op de nl.wikipedia niet rijk bedeeld. Daarom gaan we dinsdagmiddag 17 december werken aan Afrika-artikelen en afbeeldingen. Plaats: Afrika-Studiecentrum op 3 minuten lopen van het Centraal Station, Leiden, PC-zaal 1A26 . Tijd: 14-17 uur . We nodigen liefhebbers en experts van harte uit mee te komen schrijven. Het gaat tevens om de Engels-, Frans- en anderstalige wikipedia's (bijvoorbeeld w:am:ዋናው_ገጽ ). Deze editathon maakt deel uit van het project Wikipedians in special residence van de Werkgroep Speciale Wetenschappelijke Bibliotheken. Zie Wikipedia:GLAM en Wikipedia:GLAM/Wikipedians in Special Residence/Afrika-Studiecentrum . Daar staan suggesties voor artikelen en kun je je desgewenst opgeven. Tot ziens op 17 december!
