Learning edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

Everything went easy and very well, even beyond our expectations.


  • What did not work so well?

Nothing as mentionned before, that was a great first experience.


  • What would you do differently next time?


Everything went well. But for the next times we will widen the participation to a bigger number of people because of the interest shown by the participants for this project.

Anything else edit

Anything else you want to share about your project?

This project was very instructive for us and will certainly be for all wikiquote users who now have more than 300 new quotes and 21 new authors. This project has shown us how important it is to close the gender gap on foundation projects.

That's why we plan to organize other activities in Benin to continue to close this gap.

We also wanted to thank Mr. User:Ross.Patrick for his availability and leadership throughout this project.
