[edit]#100wikidays
[edit]- Project: 100wikidays
- Idea: Write an article in 100 days in a row.
- Necessary preparation:
Project "Birthdays"
[edit]- Project: bg:Уикипедия:Рожденици
- Idea: Promote writing articles for encyclopaedically notable people born on the day.
- Necessary preparation:
- Create and regularly maintain templates for all 366 days in the year, following the "MM-DD" convention for easy sorting and navigation. In each template add red links to unwritten bio-articles with very short explanation / teaser giving the nationality, occupation and the argument of notability of each person. Articles that already exist in different languages can be linked.
- Maintain monthly archive of what has and has not been written in the current month. Follow the YYYY-MM convention. Here is the aggregated view bg:Уикипедия:Рожденици/Архив. This helps for creating statistics
