Greetings!
The Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-thon was concluded on 30 November 2020,[1] and we want to send a big thank you to all the participants who helped make it a success! Over 3,200 articles were created across 19 language Wikipedias, surpassing all expectations and placing the contest firmly as one of the most successful article-writing contests on Wikipedia.
We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who volunteered to be part of the jury team. It was very complicated trying to assess the quality of 3,000 articles, but we did it! All our winners have now been announced and you can check the complete list here.<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfroCine/Months_of_Afri…>[2]
Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your participation in future AfroCine events and activities. Please remember to sign up on the main WikiProject participants’ page,[3] and on the meta page[4] to get updated with these activities.
Thanks,
Sam,
On behalf of The AfroCine Project team.
