Hi everybody,
You may have seen the blog post https://blog.wikimedia.org/2015/10/05/join-wikinobel-2015/ already, but I'd like to remind you that the Nobel Peace Prize will be announced tomorrow, and like last year, Wikimedia Norge and the Nobel Peace Center are hosting an editathon as the prize is announced, aiming to update Wikipedias in various languages as soon as possible, and provide sources about the winner(s).
We will meet in the Nobel Peace Center at 10:00 local time (09:00 UTC), and the prize will be announced one hour later. Like last year, we will use the IRC channel #wikinobel (webchat link https://webchat.freenode.net/), and will also tweet from the event using the hashtag #wikinobel https://twitter.com/hashtag/wikinobel (also on Instagram at #wikinobel https://instagram.com/explore/tags/wikinobel/).
Please join us, and feel free to spread this message to your local community.
Very good news, Hopefully we might be able to do same in fawiki

Hi Jon,
Is this just for the Peace Prize, or will the editathon also work on articles on the winners of the other nobel prizes? I've been doing some wikignoming on the enwp articles on the physics prize winners [1] [2], but they still need more work on the content - although there are now quite a few versions in other languages now that weren't there a few days ago!
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Takaaki_Kajita - a new article created on the day of the announcement. Could really do with a picture. [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_B._McDonald - the article already existed, so this hasn't seen as much change as the other one.
Thanks, Mike

Hi Michael,
This one is just focusing on the peace prize. As you may know, the rest of the Nobel prizes are awarded by Swedish institutes, while the peace prize is handled by the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Our cooperation is with the Nobel Peace Center, which is sort of like a museum about the peace prize, and since they're only focussed on the peace prize I don't think it would be practical to include the other prizes here. However, it would be great if Wikimedia Sverige could try to get something similar going in Sweden.
