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?
In NYC we actually started live celebrations of Wikipedia Day last year (along with Bangalore and Tel Aviv), and look forward to repeating in 2012 along with whatever other global events would like to join again.
Thanks, Richard (User:Pharos)

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?

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.

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.
In addition to having a "big day" once a year, I generally love the idea of having more "event kits" for different kinds of purposes that we can ship throughout the year (together with continually improving best practices, repositories of visualizations and outreach materials, etc.). We'll need to do some internal post-morteming on this experience to see if this is a habit we can get into more regularly. But I for one certainly see ten.wikipedia.org as a great pilot for supporting distributed events around the world.
Throwing in some general comments: Thanks to Steven and all who helped with it, and all who organized, attended or supported celebrations. The event in SF was awesome, and the photos from the world-wide events show the incredible energy and strength of Wikimedia in the year 2011. Please, folks, upload more images to Commons :-)

And it's not over! We're doing our event in Washington DC this Saturday [1] (so the NYC folks, Phoebe, and others can attend).
We already have learned a lot from organizing this event, and hope to build upon this experience to do more events on a more regular basis including something each January.

Echo the sentiments of doing widespread events on the Anniversary day every year. We at Bangalore did one last year. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/WPDay2010 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Meetup/Bangalore/WPDay2010It brings everyone together and reminds the public of the vaue wikipedia and wikimedia are creating in very day lives.
I do think there is an opportunity to do a standard event kit - standard banners, publicity material, possibly an exhibition kit that could be used globally. Organizations like Rotary and PMI do this very well to reach out to the public.
A big thanks to Steven and Barry for all the support.

From my perspective (low-overhead, successful event in the US) the biggest hassle was my use of a wiki other than en.wikipedia for the event page itself (which I put on ten.wikipedia - either because it was suggested that I do so or because I didn't think very clearly when I did - I forget).
But local folks didn't have an account on ten, didn't leave contact info when they edited, didn't have their account preferences set up nicely to edit, didn't have it integrated with their watchlist, didn't know how to refer to pages on en, didn't check their user talk notifications, etc.
I also fear that with inactivity, the ten site will get spammy, or require extra overhead to fight it.
So next time I'd suggest overall organizing on meta (a useful site to be on anyway), and suggesting that folks like me actually put their event page on a local language wikipedia site if that makes sense. Places with multiple languages used by likely participants might need a different solution.
Thanks again, folks!

In NYC we actually started live celebrations of Wikipedia Day last year (along with Bangalore and Tel Aviv), and look forward to repeating in 2012 along with whatever other global events would like to join again.
In Poznań we are celebrating Wikipedia Day since 2008 ;-)

I'm totally agree. We had on Mexico City the attendance of 350 people, and big interest of press. It would be nice we have in the future a similar support of Wikimedia Foundation. Thanks,

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?
