- Abstract
Though I created my user account in February 2007, I could contribute more to Wikipedia only after accepting the #100wikidays challenge on August 14, 2016. I completed my first challenge successfully - 200 articles in 100 wikidays- on November 21, and immediately started the second run of the challenge on the next day, without missing a single day. After 21 days, I also undertook the 100WikiCommonsDays challenge in parallel. With this lightning talk I would like to explain how #100wikidays transformed an ordinary user of Wikimedia to an active contributor. And I have a lot of risky and funny experience I can present: internet connectivity problems, family and job-related journey issues and sleepless nights... etc. I would like to use this opportunity to explain what is #100wikidays for me and how it magically influenced the increase of number of articles in Wikipedia. Again I strongly believe that through this presentation I can advise others how to prepare before taking up #100wikidays challenge, the hurdles, uncertainties, difficulties and happiness I faced on accepting the challenge and the ways and means I had chosen to overcome those hurdles, and the factors that helped me in that.
