Hello Isaac,

I've some exciting news to share with you.

1. Our local chapter, Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD) has joined us as the organizer. They'll take care of the prizes and help to organize the campaign in Bangladesh. Tanvir bhaiya (User:Wikitanvir) will collaborate with us from WMBD. We're planning to arrange weekly discussion sessions on zoom where the participants will be able to interact with us directly. We've found this technique useful in our previous editathons.

2. I invited Notre Dame English Club (NDEC) to encourage their members to participate in this campaign and they agreed. This Notre Dame College(NDC)-based extra-curricular organization is the oldest and the largest English club in Bangladesh as I know. Nafis Sadiq is collaborating from their side. We're trying to arrange training sessions for them as early as possible. I would like to thank the hon'ble moderator of NDEC, Suranjita Barua madam (Senior Lecturer, English Dept., Notre Dame College) for her kind cooperation. Our monitoring tool is saying that NDEC member Tazim ( User:Your Poltergeist O3) is in the 4th position right now. Best wishes to him!  It's amazing to see them signing up for Wikipedia with little or no training and jumping to the top of the list within hours. They've also shown interest to help enriching NDC, Dhaka related articles in Bangla, English and Simple English Wikipedia in the upcoming days.

If the inclusion of NDEC in this campaign shows a notable impact on our campaign, we'll try to include similar educational institutions or co-curricular organizations in our next campaigns.

3. Our review team is experiencing some problems using the hashtag monitoring tool. They've reported the tool to be slow. It takes time to be updated. Besides the reverted "wrong edits" are also being shown in the tool. So our reviewers can't get the exact metrics after reviewing. I'll grateful if you help us with these issues.

Best,

Mrb Rafi.
