Outcome

[edit]

Wikimania 2018 was my second Wikimania. It's always a pleasure to meet and interact Wikim(p)edians around the globe and learn the skills. This was first time that I participated in a panel discussion and talk about the New Readers Campaign in Nepal.

I shared my experience with my community both Online and Offline
Nepali Wikipedia
Maithili Wikipedia
I have shared my Wikimania experience and learning with my local community members at Rajbiraj Meetup.


We discussed about planning for ESEAP conference 2019 and proposal for Wikimedia SAARC 2020 conference.

I talk about the ongoing promotional campaign of Maithili Wikipedia in Nepal. It was a great experience for me to be a part of the panel participant.

For the development of the small wiki, I attend a session to learn how to use Wikidata as a tool to increase the content and quality of a small wiki.

How to fulfill the gap of rural area (both textually and photographically) in compared to urban context.
