Goals

in short, our goals:

Recruit new editors: 8 new editors participated
Increase skills for existing editors: already existing 8 participants took part, which we suppose to have increased our experience in Wikipedia.
Create new articles about Natural Sciences: 297 new articles were created.
Popularization of Georgian Wikipedia: we assume that with the help of this competition we were able to increase the recognition of Wikipedia and Wikimedia projects in Georgia.
Improve Wikipedia content on natural sciences: the importance of the articles has been increased.
