That was the original idea behind Wikipedia Day, as far as I know! I see no reason why we wouldn't revisit the event annually on this day.

It's been so awesome seeing the hundreds of events held to commemorate Wikipedia Day around the world this year.
Wouldn't it be great if we made this an annual thing, as a decentralized global counterpoint event on the opposite end of the calendar to Wikimania?
I've been thinking about that too. More than 350 people showed up for the birthday party in Berlin, many of them readers, rathern than active contributors. How great would it be if we could do something like that annually to celebrate and recognize what Wikipedia has achieved thus far?
