Hoi,
Jura1 created a list using the latest software by Magnus of people who died
in Brazil this year. Magnus added functionality to the template so that it
is really easy to add images that are missing. This list makes use of
Wikidata and it gets updated by a bot. It may live on any Wikipedia.
Thanks,
GerardM

I did a Wikipedia editing workshop in the University of South Africa in
Pretoria yesterday. As far as I know, it was the first one ever that
focused on using the recently enabled ContentTranslation beta feature. It
was six hours long and had nine participants, only two of whom had any
editing experience. It produced *fourteen* complete articles in Zulu,
Xhosa, Sotho, Tswana, Afrikaans and French. Except the latter two, the
Wikipedias in these languages are barely active.
I conducted dozens of editing workshops, and this one was, by far, the most
productive ever by the amount of content created, considering the time and
the participants' experience. Time will tell how well can it be replicated
and improved upon and how many participants will stick, but I'm optimistic.
I'll write a more detailed post later today.

I need a break from thinking about things going
wrong. And so per Milos'
observation that discussion here is falling off, I thought I'd start an
open discussion thread about things going right.
What's a cool thing you just discovered or are involved in that is
happening in the Wikimedia world?
My contribution: the SF Wikimedia list just had an announcement about an
edit-a-thon (organized by Jake Orlowitz at the wmf office) that is
happening during the American Libraries Conference, which is in SF this
year. 30,000 librarians attend ALA! I'm super pleased we are infiltrating
library conferences :)
What's happening over in your part of the project?
Phoebe
