Wikipedia Asian Month 2019

Wikipedia Asian Month 2019 is an online Edit-a-thon. Its purpose is to increase understanding among Asian Wikipedia communities. It takes place through November 2019. The purpose of Asian Month at Simple English Wikipedia is to have more quality articles about Asian countries.

As a symbol of friendship, each person who creates at least 4 articles that meet the requirements will receive a specially designed Wikipedia postcard. The postcard will come from another country that joined in.
