Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

We will invite UniStu Love Wiki participants (from previous programs) to join the program by posting invitations on their user talk pages. We will send emails about the contest to our mailing list which includes anyone who has RSVP'd or attended UniStu Love Wiki event in the past. We will also use geolocated banners to advertise the contest to local Wikipedia readers, and promote it on our Facebook page, moreover we will use the Wikimedia Community User Group Tanzania meta page to notify the Wikimedia Community Members.

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

We will have many participants who have participated in the last three events so many have the skills to edit, however we are expecting to have new editors, due to this we will provide training and support to all the participants before, while and after the events.

6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

We will be conducting online meetings each week and setting goals for each participant weekly. This will help all the participants to be active always.
