Qu'est-ce que le Mois asiatique Wikipédia ?
Wikipedia Asian Month (WAM) is an annual online campaign, running since 2015 by the Wikipedia Asian Month User Group, designed to boost Asian content on Wikipedia each November. This initiative extends beyond Asian communities, involving various language-specific Wikipedias and Wikimedia Foundation project websites. It also encourages local organizers to hold associated events. Wikipedians who create the most articles on each Wikipedia will be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Month Ambassadors". Where there are local partners, they can decide to organize (or not) judging and local prizes for their communities at their discretion.

- Asia/Asian is a very wide region! It has the biggest land in the world as well as maritime space that many islands are located. It is not easy to understand the multi-diversity of the natural scenes and cultural of this huge area. At Wikipedia Asian Month, we hope to select focus theme for each years campaign, and encourage participant to get to know more about one piece of this area. Please join and propose the theme you wish to introduce to the world the most!
| Theme | Military of Asia | Science and Technology in Japan | Settlement History and Biography in Middle East | Hindu Temples | Rainforest in South Asia |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Description | Asia has extensive military coverage, including past numorious military actions, the figures involved in those events, and military facilities such as buildings, ships, and aircraft constructed by various countries for military purposes. | Japan's pursuit of high-end technology is well-known worldwide, nurturing many renowned scientists and inventors. Japanese technological products are also globally recognized for their high-quality and attention to design details. | The Middle East region has historically overlapped with West Asia in boundary areas, including many countries such as the Arabian Peninsula, the Levant, Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, and more. These countries contain countless settlement, and the history of these settlement and their figures deserves more attention. | Hinduism is currently prevalent in India, Bangladesh, Bali, and other regions, leading to the construction of numerous Hindu temples. In other major international cities, such as New York City, there are also Hindu temples due to immigration. In the Odia Wikipedia, there are currently fewer articles about Hindu temples, and we invite editors to contribute and enrich articles about Hindu temples in different languages. | Tropical rainforests are vital environmental resources on Earth. Their rich ecological environments serve as habitats for numerous species of flora and fauna. Human activities in these areas can either harm the rainforest or aim to restore it. Most of the rainforests in South Asia are distributed in the surrounding regions of Indonesia, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. Let's come together to focus on the conservation of South Asian rainforests! |
