Hello, Wikimedia Norge members and other contributors, here's our newsletter with activities for the upcoming weeks.
- Wiki Loves Monuments 2017 has started! The world's largest photo contest runs from September 1 through September 30, where the goal is to upload photos of monuments in Norway. There will also be a concurrent writing competition on the Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk and Northern Sami Wikipedias during weeks 37 and 38.
- September 12: There will be a wiki meetup about references, with Ole Bjørn Rekdal as guest lecturer. The meetup will be held at the House of Literature in Oslo, and starts at 17:00.
- September 15: This is the deadline to apply for this round of wikigrants from Wikimedia Norge. Everyone can apply (you don't have to be a member), so if you have a project or an idea that you would like to see through, but could use some money to achieve it, apply now!
- September 16: Wiki-LAN , an editathon to increase the coverage of–and participation from–women in Wikipedia, will be organized at Musikkonservatoriet in Tromsø. Even though there's a focus on women, everyone is welcome!
- September 21: During the Oslo Science Days Wikimedia Norge invites you to the event Writing women into history , where the Director of research and dissemination at the National Library of Norway, Hege Høsøien, and artist and curator, Merete Røstad, will introduce the subject, followed by a conversation with Jorid Martinsen from Wikimedia Norge.
- October 6: During the announcement of who will be this year's Nobel Peace Prize laureate, a group of Wikipedians will be present at the Nobel Peace Center for #wikinobel in order to cover the prize and the laureate(s) in a good way. Get in touch with Jon Harald if you want to participate!
