Wiki Loves Earth

For the second time, Wikimedia Spain organized Wiki Loves Earth, a public contest focused, in the Spanish case, on natural areas catalogued as Sites of Community Importance. There were 217 participants and they uploaded 3822 free images of 374 different sites. See complete stats about the contest.

Free pictures and music

In May we covered four events for obtaining pictures and upload them to Wikimedia Commons under a free license. They were the following events: concerts of Abraham Mateo and Andrés Calamaro, the Rally Eurocidade and the Rally of Portugal. Also we recorded 7 more audios of classical music at the Museum of Romanticism, in Madrid. The works are from Claude Debussy and they were performed by the pianist Patrizia Prati.

I Pentathlon Wikimedia

On May 21 the first Pentathlon Wikimedia was organized. It was an activity promoted by Wikimedia Spain, the University of Valencia and the Valencia City Council. The purposes of the organization of the event were:

Celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Spanish language Wikipedia.
Celebrate the International Day for Cultural Diversity for Dialogue and Development, since within our chapter and within the projects promote a great diversity, cultural, ethnic, linguistic, functional...
Reduce the gender gap in the content of Wikipedia.

The event was held at the library Joan Reglà of the University of Valencia and we edited on Wikipedia, Commons, Wikiquote, Wikivoyage and Wikidata.
