Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign 2025 in Albania and Kosovo
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign 2025 in Albania and Kosovo
From August 1 to 31, 2025, the Wikimedians of the Albanian Language User Group (WoALUG) participated in the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) campaign to contribute to illustrating Albanian language Wikipedia articles with images from Wikimedia Commons.
On August 23, our community gathered online for a 3-hour editathon, and the contributors focused on adding photos and illustrating articles with images that reflected Albanian and Kosovar culture, natural heritage, people, etc. The photos we used came from the contributions of our community over the years through our contests like Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves Earth, Traditional Albanian Food Contests, and Photowalks organized locally.
By bringing different images into 136 Wikipedia articles, we helped make knowledge in Albanian more visual and accessible. This editathon highlighted the power of online collaboration within our community one more time. Even in a virtual format, participants shared knowledge, exchanged ideas, and worked together to make Albanian Wikipedia richer.
