Wikimédia Québec/en/2009

(English) Wikimédia Québec is intended to be the Québec local chapter of the Wikimedia Foundation. We are currently in the preliminary stages, and this page will contain mostly information on this process. For any questions or suggestions, you are welcome to use this page or the talk page. For French speakers, you can also follow the discussions on fr:Projet:Québec/Wikimédia Québec.

We're working with pioneering neighbors throughout the Canada, and hope to cooperate with them and other Canadian chapters in future through a Wikimedia Canada Chapters Council.

Contest

In order to promote the collaborative nature of the Wikimedia projects, Wikimédia Québec organizes different contests in association with other Quebec organizations. The raised funds for these contests come from private or corporate donations.

Quebec Literature

The article littérature québécoise (french) is checked out by 1,000 to 1,500 times per month during a school year.. This article is only, mainly, an authors list distributed by the currents.

Wikimédia Québec, in collaboration with teachers of languages and literature from the Cégep de Chicoutimi, organizes a contest targeting to expand the article "littérature québécoise". The contest will be open to the Cégep de Chicoutimi students (especially to those attending the Quebec literature course). A reading committee will designate the student who has written the best collaboration. Khayman will edit this collaboration and the student will put it online.
