Book fair

Wikimedia Sverige attended on the largest book fair in Scandinavia with almost 100 000 visitors. This was the third time we were there and we managed to have around eight volunteers every day. Over 300 pictures of writers have been uploaded and more is to come. [1] We took contact with many institutions in the GLAM sector, especially archives. The first result is that the Nordic African Institute released 65 author biographies under CC-BY-SA. [2]

Photo hunt

On the photohunt in Scania late August, 193 images has now been uploaded and 4 has so far been promoted to Quality Images. [3]

Board meeting

We had one boardmeting in September, minutes are available in Swedish. [4]

Numbers

Wikipedias in two of the five official minority languages in Sweden passed milestones in September. The Finnish Wikipedia passed 250 000 articles and the Romani Wikipedia passed 500 articles.
