Project Goal

edit

I am one of the coordinators of the Wikimedians of Romania and Moldova User Group (WMROMD). In our plan for 2018 we have a commemorative project - „Centenar Romania”, dedicated to 100 years anniversary of the Romanian state. The project main goals are:

  • to add or improve a significant numbers of articles related to this very important event in the history of Romania
  • to alleviate the ”geographic gap” regarding distribution of the editors across the Romanian territory (there are no significant presence of the editors from this university center)
  • to raise awareness about Wikimedia projects and WMROMD projects

I am the coordinator of this project from the WMROMD side. After a series of preliminary discussions we have identified the University of Cluj as a possible partner for developing a common project. (Coordinator from the university professor Vlad Popovici - vlad.popovici[at]ubbcluj.ro)

In order to do so, we agree to have a preliminary meeting,at Cluj, for one day (between 16-25 April 2018).
