The first editing weekend was titled "Technology". This topic accumulated eight created articles and two improved ones, written by three users. Next weekend was "Linguistics" and that 9th to 10th October, attracted two men who contributed with 18 new articles. Themed after our local elections, we had the "Elections" EW on 16th-17th. This topic attracted three users that created 14 articles. Setting our eyes on culture, we had "Operas" as a topic. That weekend had presence of five people and they achieved 24 newly established pages. Something of a 'fresh' topic was "Arabic Cuisine". Those two days (30 and 31) were attended by four people who created 10 articles.

Editing days

Returning at Macedonian Archaeology, we opened this month with "Archaeological sites in Radoviš region" which two people joined and created 16 articles. Continuing the political geography thematic, "Provinces of Thailand" was held on the seventh day of the month. That day three people participated and they created four articles. Later, on 12th, there was "World Heritage Sites in East Asia" comprised of three participants and with results of four new articles. Two days later one man participated, this time at "Holy Roman Emperors", with score of four creations. On October 19, "Macedonian Folk Songs (K)" was arranged and was joined by two users who created five articles. Again with a history editing day, we had "Kings of Israel and Judea" which was participated by three men and they covered five new articles. Selecting again an art topic, we had "Paintings by Gustav Klimt" ED on 26th. That time, nine new articles and one new template were covered by three participants. The last editing day was again dedicated to geography, this time about "Governorates of Egypt". So, on October 28, six articles have been created about these administrative divisions of this Northern African country.

WikiVillage

On Sunday, October 24, we installed the 31 QR code plaques and the map of the Galičnik bulletin board. The village of Galičnik itself is listed as cultural as Cultural Heritage of Macedonia, but also 60 houses, built in traditional Galičnik style. Hence only 31 houses survived the test of time, we made 31 plaques with QR codes leading to an article of a certain house. The houses have QR codes of the Macedonian and the English article. In the center of the village, we installed the bulletin board that shows the map of Galičnik indicating the locations of the houses of cultural heritage. With our engagement, the houses now are highlighted and we brought the dwellers of Galičnik and tourists closer to Wikipedia.
