in a nutshell: this year we could bring our Wikipedia For Peace project to a new level, working with many more partner organisations and communities from four countries (Armenia, Austria, Germany and Spain). Thanks to a an external grant of 13,000 EUR via Erasmus+ we could support people from other Wikimedia organisations as well as like-minded communities and organisations to make women*, trans and non-binary people more visible on Wikipedia during a 10 day editing camp in Austria. From August 2-10 2019, the group met in a simple hostel in Kötschach-Mauthen, a small mountain village in the Austrian Alps, writing a new record number of new and improved articles.
content pages without media files and pages using media files: 142 new or improved Wikipedia articles (133 new articles in arwiki, arzwiki, cawiki, dewiki, enwiki, eswiki, hywiki; 9 improved articles in arwiki, cawiki, dewiki, enwiki, hywiki)
