Wikipedia:Meetup/Cameroon/Wikithon/1

Join us for an edit-a-thon (wikithon) centered on “space” and “place” in Cameroon which will be hosted by the [http://www.goethe.de/ins/cm/en/yao/ver.cfm?fuseaction=events.detail&event_id=20562082 Goethe-Institut Kamerun]. Given that Cameroon is a bilingual country, the main languages spoken during the edit-a-thon will be English and French. The articles to be edited and created will be grouped in these two language categories. The most outstanding content-creator will receive a prize.

The event will start with a brief presentation on Wikipedia’s various activities in Cameroon, followed by a crash course on creating as well as editing content for Wikipedia before the session proper. Persons wishing to participate should register on the event’s [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/wikithon-cameroon-tickets-16958149281 Eventbrite] page.

Cameroon is made up of spaces and places. Spaces full of unique places, which each have a particular history. Filled with forests, mountains, rivers, villages, town, savannahs, lakes, monuments and shores, this mixture calls for a better description.

[http://www.geonames.org/search.html?q=&country=CM GeoNames.org] consist of more than 22.000 named locations in Cameroon. Only few of them have a Wikipedia entry, and these aren’t perfect. The challenge is to create as well as edit content related to place and space in Cameroon.
