You are receiving this message because you participated in the Wikipedia Asian Month 2022 as an organizer or editor.

Dear all,

The Wikipedia Asian Month 2023[1] is coming ! The campaign start within a flexible 30 days from November to December. Following with the changes of the rules made by last year, the wish to have more people get to know Asia and Asian related topic is the same! Click "Here" to Organize/Join a WAM Event.

1. Propose "Focus Theme" related to Asia !

If you are based somewhere in Asia, or have specific passion on an Asian topic, please propose your "Focus Theme" by October 25th. The WAM international team will select 5 themes. Please propose your focus theme through this link[2].

2. Enhancing existing articles can also count as part of campaign contribution.

Any edits, including creating new articles or adding new content to existing articles, over 3000 bytes in total would be able to get a reward. Last year, due to this change of rules, the Programs & Events Dashboard was suggested. However, according to community survey of 2022, Fountain Tool is still the best platform for tracking edit and points. You don’t need to create any Dashboard. For the tracking of editing existing article, the international team is currently designing a form. Will soon publish to the main page of WAM 2023.

3. More flexible campaign time

The contribution duration would remain 30days, but we extended the overall campaign timeline to 2 months. All organizers can decide when to start their WAM as long as the whole duration is within November 1st to December 31th. It means that you can participate in WAM based on the needs of your local community.

Timetable

• October 1st, 2023 : Publish International Campaign Page of the Year
• October 5th to 25th, 2023 : Call for focus themes of WAM 2023.

	The month isn't over yet, but I'm so impressed by your long list of new articles created as part of this month's Cascading Women event. Thank you for your inspirational efforts to improve the coverage of women on Wikipedia! Chocmilk03 (talk) 23:44, 19 April 2026 (UTC)

Thank you! The snowball method is kinda how I choose article subjects anyway, so this event is right in my groove.Penny Richards (talk) 02:36, 20 April 2026 (UTC)

Nice to meet you. I’ve been following the work you’re doing on Pinterest, where you’re adding the biographies we created for the Women in Red initiative, and I noticed that the most recent ones created for the March 2026 initiative “Countries starting with C” are missing. Just in case you might have overlooked them. Thanks, and have a great day! _-_Alsor (talk) 17:16, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Aha! Okay, I'll go include them. I just got busy at the end of March. The Pinterest boards aren't meant to be exhaustive, just a representative outreach. (Also they're fun to do.) I'll go see what I can add to the March board from that C event. Penny Richards (talk) 20:26, 21 April 2026 (UTC)

Thanks for uploading File:HannahPaulSolomon1970.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of non-free use. However, the image is currently not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described in section F5 of the criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. --B-bot (talk) 05:06, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

As it should be! Thanks for the heads up. Penny Richards (talk) 14:13, 22 April 2026 (UTC)

Hello! I think you might have accidentally placed the icon on an article I created in this list. Just double-checking to let you place it on the correct article if it was in fact a a mistake. Cheers! JTtheOG (talk) 21:13, 23 April 2026 (UTC)

No accident, but thanks for checking! It just means that the Alaís Perea article is linked at the WiR pinterest board for April 2026, because it has a picture of the subject. Penny Richards (talk) 21:41, 23 April 2026 (UTC)
