Anything else

Anything else you want to share about your project?

I was expecting 8 participants but I ended up having 13 editors that registered to participate. However 12 of them actually did the edits. Therefore I had to increase the Wikidata T Shirts from the 8 that was budgeted for to 12. I used the money in miscellaneous to do this.
