User:Humetheresa/Wiki Loves Afrikaans
Background
[edit]One of the objectives for the Chapter in 2015 is to increase contributions by the Afrikaans Wiki-community. We want to focus on this language specifically as one of the larger languages currently in South Africa. We feel that it is very important to have an Afrikaans specific project in order to achieve our goal of increased participation.
Goal
[edit]Through the introduction of an Afrikaans specific competition, we aim to increase the number of contributors / editors to the Wikipedia community and to establish a relationship with existing editors. As a Chapter, we have never had the capacity to do this before.
