80 000 Wikipedia articles

The biggest event during November was local Wikipedia reaching 80 000 articles.

Wiki Loves Monuments winners published

This year it was run without prizes, so a less impressive number of images were uploaded, however numerous previously not covered monuments had images uploaded. One of participants uploaded plenty of castle mound pictures, helping to illustrate multiple articles without images. These 10 images were selected for international round:
