Wikipedia in Versailles: 24 hours for an article
During the partnership between Wikimedia projects and the
This challenge is global and fairly simple: to work on one article related to the palace and improve it as much as possible over the course of 24 hours. On a specified day I will indicate the selected article. In order to make participation easy for everyone, from everywhere in the world, the article will be selected for the availability of on-line resources or books that can be easily found in a majority of well-stocked libraries, in French and/or English. (We are lucky in this respect: the palace of Versailles has a great bibliography in the English language!)
The challenge will be shared by several people in the castle who are trained to contribute to Wikipedia. These specialists currently contribute (when they have time), and of course they will be notified so they can participate in the adventure. During this challenge, I'll also be there as a resource person.
This 24 hour challenge is a good way to promote the collaborative work and the characteristic ability to synthesize which defines the Wikipedians. I hope this project will inspire you! Trizek here or on wpfr 10:09, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
