Wikip dia Asian Monaþ

The Wikip dia Asian Monaþ is an online multilingual edit-a-thon aimed at building understanding among Asian Wikipedia communities. Taking place throughout November 2015, the purpose of the Asian Month on the English Wikipedia is to improve the quantity and quality of articles about Asian countries and regions.

As a symbol of friendship between Asian Wikimedia communities, each participant who contributes at least five articles that fulfill the criteria will receive a specially-designed Wikipedia postcard from the other participating countries. Countries and regions sending postcards for this project are Mainland China, India, Indonesia, Japan, the Philippines, Taiwan and Thailand.

The Wikipedian who contributes the most qualified articles on each version of Wikipedia will also be honored as "Wikipedia Asian Ambassador".
