Why? edit
Wikimedia and Wikipedia have deep content gaps based on gender, linguistic and ethnic minorities etc. The contest was ideated in 2019 and it is organized by WikiDonne User Group: our goal is to improve the free knowledge about sport (with a special focus on women, LGBT+ communities, para athletics, minorities and underrepresented groups), in all languages. For organizations or institutions that want to collaborate during this contest, please contact us on the discussion page or send an email to camelia.boban
