Wiki Re-Imagine Lagos Project/Edit-a-Thon

On February 22, 2025, we hosted a two-day writing contest at the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria's (WUGN) office in Lagos, bringing together WUGN’s experienced community leaders and staff from across the 36 states in Nigeria. The goal of the event was to improve existing Wikipedia Wikipedia on tourist sites in Lagos and create new ones. A total of 20 participants attended the event, contributing to the growth of content related to Lagos tourism. By the end of the Edit-a-Thon, 13 new unique articles were created, while existing articles were translated into Yoruba and Hausa to enhance accessibility for local language speakers. Also, Wikidata items were created for topics that previously did not have entries, enriching the Wikimedia ecosystem and ensuring broader information availability.
