Hoi, Jon a great initiative. I hope many people will consider updating Wikidata as well. As you know, Wikidata serves many languages with results when there is no article available. It is done especially well when people choose the "Reasonator" icon or when they choose a Wikipedia article in another language.
Of particular interest are the commonalities like other awards, their alma mater, where they are employed. When people who are in the public eye are known for other awards as well, we find that these connections are important and make people find the associated people and places of interest as well. Thanks, Gerard

Hi, all!
The winner of the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced this Friday, and in cooperation with Wikimedia Norge, the Nobel Peace Center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nobel_Peace_Center has invited Wikipedians from the Norwegian Wikipedia community to an editathon to improve the article about the winner(s?) as soon as possible. We'll be sitting practically in the next room from where the announcement is made, updating relevant articles as fast as we can.
For this to be a global event, I'd like to invite anyone who's interested to join us in the IRC channel #wikipedia-nobel irc://freenode/#wikipedia-nobel, where we'll be talking and coordinating. We'll also try to livetweet the event using the hashtag #wikinobel https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel, probably mainly from the account @WikimediaNorge https://twitter.com/WikimediaNorge.
The press conference will be start around 10:30 Norwegian time, which is *08:30 UTC*, like I said on *Friday, 10th of October*. Please join us, and help spread this invitation to your community.
