About the editathon

A social gathering for Welsh language Wicipedwyr. We have 14 computers ready for action, or you may bring your own laptop as the library also offers free wi-fi. There's free lunch too for those staying the day. Our theme will be Cardiff itself, its history and its people.

Here is a page about the editathon.

Non welsh speakers are also welcome to help work on the Welsh Language Wicipedia. Here are a few ideas:

Here are a few articles with dead links / references which need amending. Solid refs are the backbone of every article. A very laborious task, but is a crucial one!
Copy / paste Infoboxes (eg towns, weather) from en to cy.
Search for databases of English and Scottish towns (and villages!) which have a few simple fields eg population, percentage of adults out of work, percentage not born in that town.... We can then mail merge this data and try and create a bot to upload.
Counties of England. I've uploaded the "Infobox England county" to cy. I've tested it on one County: Swydd Gaerlŷr (Leicestershire). We now need to copy / paste from the rest, which you can find here.
Correct basic WP mistakes by using the Pages:Special

And that's only a start!

Post mortem
