Hi Rachel,
I'd like to suggest someone in change of WMF communication to write a blog post about this great initiative from Norwegian volunteers. Talk to those taking the lead. :)
Such initiative should be highlighted very much, mainly after to see those great Nobel Prizes (different from some years ago).
Hopefully I'll try to find some time next October 12, Children's Day in Brazil, to contribute with Malala's article in the Portuguese Wikipedia. I'm trying to spread the word among Open Knowledge Brasil community because we were thinking to do some thing for children and teachers aligned with our mission.
Cheers,
Tom

Hi Jon, thank you so much for your efforts in having Malala and Kailash Satyarthi's pages updated. I was over the moon to see the announcements this morning and really proud of the Norwegian Wikipedia community for updating the pages today! I for one would love to hear about everyone's experience being there.
(I'd also love to hear anyone's experiences about edit conflicts while updating the pages).
I'm not sure when you were notified of the invitation, but do know that the Foundation wants to find ways of supporting community activities like this, so if there are any ideas on how to do that please say so.
Cheers, Rachel
