Dear all

In Wikimedia Conference 2016, in Berlin, we talked with Wikimedia Italia about promoting some joint activity. At that time it was commented that for example a common theme could be something as simple as ancient Roman thermae.

Months later, in Wikimania Esino Lario, we talked about this idea to many people from other Wikimedia groups and chapters, from Europe, North Africa and Middle East, and in general we verified a good acceptance as a simple activity that we could share a large number of people.

We keep working on this and we have important news. From Wikimedia España we are going to organize an editathon on October 7 at the National Archaeological Museum, in Madrid. The goal will be to improve and create articles on Roman thermae, for which we are working on a list of items.

Also, during Wiki Loves Monuments, which is held in September, we will create a special category of prizes only for Roman thermae; those photos obtained during the contest could be used later in Wikipedia articles.

Therefore, we encourage you to promote some activity related to this topic between your community and work, and have fun!, with an architectural heritage that we all share.

For any doubt or suggestion, do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
