Hi everyone, 

Recently, we organised a Wikipedia editathon on Indian women boxers to commemorate the Women's World Boxing Championship 2018 being held in New Delhi this month. 

The editathon was successful, although we had only 5 editors, we were able to create new articles for many Indian women boxers. You can read the report here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/FII_Wiki_Project/Edit-a-thons/Indian_Women_Boxers

Also, Outlook Magazine did a video feature on our editathon and I wanted to share it with all of you. Please do watch the video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-knUOsh7cT0

Thanks,
Japleen

Hello, 

I recently saw an email from Odia Wikimedia that they are organising month long editathons for Men's Hockey World Cup. This is a great initiative! 

And also gave me the idea to do something similar in November. As many of you may know Delhi will host the Women's World Boxing Championship from 15 - 24 November. 

Could we all hold online and offline events around this topic editing and creating pages of women boxers etc across several Indic languages. 

I will definitely organise one Wikipedia editathon in Delhi in November on this topic and would love if other people can join us and/or organise their own in their language communities. 

Tito/CIS, can we get some help for this? 

Let me know your thoughts. 

Best,
Japleen
