I have 3 questions for everyone who hosted a local Wikipedia day event, and
I thought it might be a fun group sharing experience if people shared their
experiences on this thread:
1. How was attendance?
- About how many people came? How did it compare to your past events? Who
came, were they from nearby or from farther away, and how was the mix of
experienced editors and new participants?
2. What was exciting?
- What did you do for the first time at a wiki event? What amazing thing
happened? Who spoke or made a presentation that really impressed you?
What unexpected connection did you make?
3. What next?
- What would you do differently next year? What other potential plans do
you have locally, that may have sprouted or solidified from everyone coming
together for Wikipedia Day?
OK, and a bonus question:
4. How was the cake?
- What flavors did you get? Was it too dry, or just right? Did everyone
get a slice, did everyone get two slices? Would you like to get more cake
next time? Would you like to get more cake today? Can you recommend a
good 24 hour baker? How did you decorate it, and what made your cake
special through the words or image glazed on it?
Also, I heartily encourage everyone to upload your Wikipedia Day cake and
other event photos here, and in appropriate subcategories:
