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.

2011/1/18 Jay Walsh <jwalsh(a)wikimedia.org>rg>: 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 :-) Cheers, Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate _______________________________________________ WikiX-l mailing list WikiX-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l

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 It 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. regards Arun On Wed, Jan 19, 2011 at 5:49 AM, Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> wrote: _______________________________________________ WikiX-l mailing list WikiX-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikix-l

what about event.wikipedia.org ? wouldn't that make more sense? 2011/1/24 Pharos <pharosofalexandria(a)gmail.com> I also feel ten.wikipedia.org has been an excellent global coordination resource for this year's events, and as that is archived, we should think about the domains or subdomains to be used for Wikipedia Day activities in future years.

The future of tenwiki isn't nailed down yet, but I think it would be fine to use it to seed a new event namespace or page network on Meta.
