I am presently working on a video to celebrate 5 million articles on ENWP
when that happens. I'm sharing drafts of the video with WMF Comms. If it's
well received, it could be adapted for use next year as well.

FYI, another theme that came up during Wikimania with
folks involved with
movement communications is to make 2016 a year-long celebration of
Wikipedia/Wikimedia, and that this might have an ability to tie in with the
2016 Wikipedia Year of Science that the Wiki Education Foundation is
pushing.
Just something to keep in mind. I'll be proposing a workshop for
Wikiconference USA to help strategize around the theme of 2016 Year of
Science, so perhaps we could wrap both of these into one.

Hi Wiki-Americans,
We would like to do something special in NYC for next year's Wikipedia
Day, to help kick off the year celebrating the 15th anniversary, on January
15 or thereabouts, and would welcome collaboration with North American and
other cities by video link for that day.
for context, last year's Wikipedia Day in NYC-
Wiki page:

Videos page:

(especially see lightning talks, etc, which could be spread globally in
bitesize chunks)
Besides NYC, I think WMDC is hosting a Diversity Conference about the
same time that could be a part of this, and Cascadia was also I think
considering an event in Vancouver.
Thanks,
Pharos
