On the great things:
- There are so many forms of volunteer contribution, you don't need to be
an expert to be able to contribute to English Wikipedia (how can I
contribute, everything is there already). You can fight vandalism, you can
take pictures, you can write code, you can help other languages.
- In less developed countries, in depth-reading of Wikipedia is more
prevalent, the likely explanation is that in lack of resources we take for
granted in Europe/US, people turn to Wikipedia to learn and develop
This is not great fact but it's sorta funny how extensively we cover
everything. Last week I learned Wikipedia even has list of people who died
on the toilet:

Bonjour et merci du message
J'aimerais vivement que les pays du sud ont plus de moyens financiers pour
réaliser des projets concrètement.
Le financement des concours baisse, mais la couverture des objectifs de
ces
concours reste quasiment incomplet en Afrique.
Exemple Wiki Loves Monuments, en Guinée 99% des sites sont ni illustré sur
Wikipédia en articles, ni en image sur commons mais qu'on supprime le
financement pour les longues voyages diminuer nos forces d'améliorer
qualitativement les articles Wikipédia vue qu'on a moins de bénévoles
encore.
Vivement une relativisation des ressources en fonction de l'avancée des
projets et plus de douceur dans l'obtention des subventions.
