Editing Days

Again we continued the series about editing about music. That's why the first day of the month was named Operas and Arias by Giacomo Puccini, which accumulated five new articles and one new template by three participants. After that, Cultural Heritage in Mavrovo and Rostuše Municipality was on, and attracted one man who was able to make 11 new pages and two improved Wikipedia pages about their respective cultural heritage sites. Turning again towards music, on 8th, the topic was Macedonian Songs, a day that gathered one user who wanted to be part of it and created one article on the Macedonia's Independence Day. Five days later, the accent was put on art. This time it was about Paintings by Jacques-Louis David Editing Day that have produced ten new articles and one new template by volunteering of three Wikipedians. Then on 15th, Works by William Faulkner ED was scheduled and was comprised of three men and the result was nine created Wikipedia pages and one created template. The 20th day of the month was dedicated for Cultural Heritage in Centar Municipality that gave five articles out of one participant. Two days later, Punctuation ED occurred and one man edited four new articles, three new templates and one new module. On 27th, the history themed ED titled European Ottoman Sanjaks had an outcome of five new articles by two men. On the second last day of this month, a cuisine topic was chosen - Food Preparation Utensils. That day one Wikipedian participated and created one article.

The outcome in September was 51 new articles, two improved articles, six new templates and one created module.
