I agree this is a cool story, focused on personal achievement.
Victor, thanks for reaching out to Spiritia. Please keep us posted on what she says.
I have tentatively added this story idea to our content calendar for May:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Calendar#May_2015 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Blog/Calendar#May_2015
I also included the Nepal Earthquake idea we have been investigating, in case we decide we can pull it off for a quick update at the end of the week.
Speaking of which, let’s discuss our plans for the many story ideas now in the ‘development' and ‘future’ sections of our calendar: which of these do we think are likely to happen? which should be weeded out for now? are we missing any important stories that should be there?
Comments welcome,
Fabrice

This is a really cool project that we might want to highlight on social: 100wikidays https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/100wikidays.
Spiritia, a Bulgarian Wikipedian, committed to writing a new Wikipedia article a day for 100 days. She started to promote it on social media and her friends joined in, so now there have been more than 700 new articles created through this project. Spiritia completed her 100th article this past weekend: 04-25 Spiritia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Spiritia 100 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Face-smile.svg bg:Най-дългият годеж https://bg.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9D%D0%B0%D0%B9-%D0%B4%D1%8A%D0%BB%D0%B3%D0%B8%D1%8F%D1%82_%D0%B3%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%B6 en:A Very Long Engagement https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Very_Long_Engagement, French WWI romantic movie, directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet d:Q936425 https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q936425 742 Thoughts on congratulating her on the 100th article and/or sharing the link to the project?
It could also be a great blog post -- Haitham said he's encouraged Spiritia to submit a draft.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention, Haitham!
