Hi, Justice. Your suggestion and Enock's was put on the Whatsapp platform and reception was just as it is in the mailing list. We'll be moving forward with what we have received so far. Good morning, all.
Regards, Georgina.

I guess our main goal is to get more people interested in editing Wikipedia so that should be the main purpose driving any action we take with regards to the anniversary.
Also Georgina did you put my suggestion across in the mailing list and what has the response been so far.
Thank You

Thanks, Richie. What you've suggested sounds (reads) a lot like the editathon, which is already on the table; i.e., we hold a meeting where we teach interested people about Wikipedia - its importance and how to edit, and thereafter sign on interested participants. Please expatiate on your suggestion if that is not what you mean, for clarity's sake. Thanks again.

I have been thinking.. If we could set that day apart to teach people about Wikipedia edits, the importance and get volunteers who are willing to be a part of this community. Afterwards, we could have some small celebration like we did last year.

Good afternoon, all.
This is the last call for suggestions on how to celebrate this year's Wikipedia Day. Please let us know your thoughts. This will help us to tune the celebration to everyone's specifications. The only suggestions so far have been those from Enock and Justice. If we hear nothing from anyone else, they will effectively be the only suggestions we work with. Thanks.
Regards, Georgina.

Good morning.
Thanks, Enoch and Justice for your suggestion(s). Since not all group members seem to be on the mailing list, I will post your suggestions on the Whatsapp group page and see if anyone else has any other suggestions. Thereafter, I guess we'll come to a consensus as to the way forward. Enjoy the rest of your day, guys.
Regards, Georgina.

For me, in celebration, I visit the ak.wikipedia.org project, and do some translations i.e medical articles etc.
I did one about Malaria some time back. I hope to continue.
