Hello everyone,
Last week's episode of euronews' show Learning World was about the open
sources of information and it's use in education. One of the episode's
segment was about Wikipedia Education Program in Egypt. They filmed the
footage in one of our editathons in Cairo last month.
Unfortunately, the segment has some mistakes. The most prominent of them
are: The number of articles on Wikipedia which is 34.5 million articles not
only 4 millions as they said. 'May be they meant the En Wiki'. Also the
number of active editors is ~80K and the titles of the speakers were all
written wrong!
We are very sorry for the mistakes. We have sent them many emails and files
to get the information from during the preparation time, so that we make
sure everything they share is accurate, but what is done is done!
Enjoy watching:

Best,
