Description | Africa Wiki Challenge is an online campaign that calls on Africans all over the world, to contribute to African-related content online. Every year, we select a specific theme /topic for participants to contribute their quota. The very first edition of the contest was themed "Landmarks in Africa" and the second edition themed " Projecting African Culture"
Many times, most African-related article(s) do not have videos or photos to help visualise the topic and add to the credibility. Inadvertently, this reduces the interest in reading existing African-related articles on Wikipedia. We are willing to contribute with User groups, Communities, Hubs , Individuals etc on the next edition of the campaign. |
