List of Participants (WikiGap 2022) edit

To participate your username has to be in two places. Please ensure you have it in both places because if it is missing from one of these places, you are not enrolled in the competition. Please write your name and the language Wikipedia you will edit below. Please also add your name to the Dashboard.

Note: If you are a new editor, please practice editing on an existing article first before you create new articles.
Please do not assign yourself articles through Dashboard, because when you publish it goes to your sandbox which is not part of Wikipedia. Articles from it take 3 months or more to be reviewed and added to the main encyclopedia.
