Notes edit
- The ethnic composition of the regions of the North Causas - Etnical map.
- What did we get at this competition? They have eleven Wikipedia editions, but many of them are not active. There are many political difficulties in these areas so during the competition they included a few different groups like Armenia, Russia, Lezgki...
- They made articles of GLAM topics. It had a few problems, they had difficulties in deciding will they include people or only monuments.
- This contest can be very motivating for encouraging a more active approach. This contest started on October 1st.
