Wikiskatch with the other wiki volunteer

At this month, we continued the collaboration with the two Wikipedians of the previous two months. The first one improved two pages and created six articles. The second, student at Archaeology, created articles about 161 archaeological sites. Due to the current situation with COVID19, we continued to conduct Wikiskatch by Team Viewer from home.

"Calendars", which was on 9th to 10th, had attendance of five participants who created 16 articles. Themed by the Eurovision Song Contest, that is organised this period of year, we dedicated a editing weekend to it, with results of 12 created articles by two men. The last editing weekend we chose to be "Macedonian literature", occuring during the Saints Cyril and Methodius Day (24th). This was productive one, with 34 new articles by four Wikipedians.

High School Students Editing Competition

In collaboration with the user group GLAM Macedonia, we organized an editing competition for persons from 15 to 18 years old. No certain theme was chosen and the title was "Necessary Articles". This means that participants were guided by a specific article that enlists which articles should and can be created. The results of the youth editors, which were eleven of them, are 123 new articles.
