A kind suggestion:
Can you break down the proper dates for Wikimania on the front page of the
Wikimania wiki?
https://wikimania2016.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page
Right now it looks like an eight day conference as it specifies June 21-28,
but that’s inaccurate.
You should probably break it down like this:
Pre-conference - June 22-23, 2016
Main conference - June 24-26, 2016
There is a “Post conference” of June 27-28 with no specifics, so either
specify what goes on for those dates, or just eliminate it completely from
the front page. Thanks.
