WikiTours

On October 7, in the seat of the Sveti Nikole Municipality, we held the second WikiTour Sveti Nikole. That workshop involved writing articles generally related to the town of Sveti Nikole. Along with the writing, encyclopedic photographs were also taken by the activists of SK. Eight articles were created and two were improved (one of the two improved ones was already being improved in April during WikiStands project, so in statistical point of view the article is counted in WikiStands). Five images of encyclopedic use were uploaded on Commons. In addition, with correlation to the images for encyclopedic use, two articles were created and one was improved on October 13 and 14.

The end results are ten created articles and two improved ones.

Skopje Zoo WikiProject

On October 28, the finalization of the 2021's activity i.e. installation of the QR-coded plates in the Skopje Zoo was done. The engagement consisted of replacing the old plates already placed by us in 2015, but also placing plates of new animals in the zoo. Each plate is placed in front of the animal's residence, and contains the names of the animal in Macedonian, Albanian, English and Latin (scientific name). In addition, there are three QR codes on the plate which, by scanning them, leads to the animal's respective article on Macedonian, Albanian and English Wikipedia.
