In total, almost 100 participants registered, and created or improved 2,940 articles! We got help from the UN Human Rights office to propose a list of 29 women human rights defenders that yielded bonus points. The WikiGap Challenge resulted in 337 articles about these women, in 30 different languages! 

Thanks to all the participants, for making a substantial impact on Wikipedia, and congratulations to the winners!

Best,
