Excellent.

We will schedule your post for the week of March 16, then.

I also wanted to let you know that we are inviting Wikipedia users to help find high-quality articles that celebrate women and gender diversity on Wikipedia:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Women_and_gender_diversity_on_Wikimedia

So if some of your participants are not interested in editing but would like to make an easier kind of contribution, you could invite them to recommend some of their favorite women biographies or articles on gender diversity, to help surface some of our best content on these topics. Then post them on the page above.

Ivan, thanks again for all that you and your team are doing to increase diversity in our projects!

Be well,


Fabrice

Nice, Michael and Fabrice! I will ask to the Iberocoop guys about this, due we don't will have only events, but an Iberoamerican contest for improve and create articles about women on Spanish, Italian and Portuguese Wikipedias.

So, we can focus on the contest, not only in the events.

Hi Ivan,

If you need more time, we can publish your post a week later.

I would rather publish a high-quality post the week of March 16, instead of a lower-quality post the week of March 9.

Also, please leave enough time to write some of the lessons you learned from those events. That is the most interesting part!

Be well,


Fabrice

Hi Ivan,

If Fabrice is unable to add them, we can also share them to our Spanish speaking followers via Facebook targeting in Spanish.

Hi Fabrice! I don't know if it is possible to add some initiatives to the post that we will have in Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Italia, Mexico, Peru and Spain!

Most of the events will hold on March 7th, 14 and 21:
