Indonesian Featured Article award
ByKhalili Foundation
Most of this month's work has been on adding content to the Interfaith Explorers site, creating 51 new pages and adding content and links to others. Hence there has been relatively little wiki editing.
Indonesian Wikipedia has given a Featured Article award to their translation of the Hajj: Journey to the Heart of Islam article. This resulted from a long review process involving four users, and is a rare honour; Indonesian Wikipedia only has 394 Featured Articles out of 700,000 total articles. This is the fourth Featured Article award achieved by this project: two in English, one in Urdu and now one in Indonesian.
The article Mihrab (painting), created by a volunteer at one of our edit-a-thons, has been translated into Spanish.
I attended Wikimania 2024 at Katowice, Poland, including the GLAM Wiki Global Meetup, where I met with cultural Wikipedians from many different countries. This was covered in a news item on the Khalili Foundation web site. A proposed session for the Museums Computer Group conference in Birmingham was rejected.
