- By: Vyolltsa
Wikimedians of Albanian Language User Group organized the Summer of Wikivoyage Editathon 2024 in Kruja, Albania, on May 4th and 5th.
Kruja is located in North Central Albania and has a long list of attractions to offer tourists from the ancient castle nestled in the craggy rocks, two museums, stunning views, a nearby national park, sacred temples, natural springs, the ancient city ruins of Albanopolis, and the old bazaar.
Over the course of 2 days, 19 people participated to contribute to enriching the travel guide on Wikivoyage, Wikidata, Wikipedia, and Wikimedia Commons.
This year, we invited high school students from the nearby area of Kruja. A group of students from Shote Galica High School of Fushë-Kruja joined us. We wanted the local community to engage and become familiar with the Wikimedia Movement.
Throughout the editathon, we updated and improved articles on various destinations, attractions, and travel tips regarding Albania and Kosovo.
Overall we made:
- Wikivoyage and Wikipedia: 22 pages created and 120 pages edited
- Wikidata: 47 total revisions
- Wikimedia Commons: 76 uploads
- Gallery
- Social media
- We have a public Telegram channel (language used mostly Albanian) if you want to join and discuss Wikimedia projects.
