Abstract (up to 300 words to describe your proposal)

Wikimedia Norge participated at the last Celtic Knot Conference with a workshop on How to kickstart a dead Wikipedia? At that point The Northern Sami Wikipedia had no active contributors, and Wikimedia Norge was looking into building a project to revitalize it.

One year into the project on Northern Sami Wikipedia we would like to present how we have used the input we gathered at last year’s conference workshop, what we have learned and achived after one year and what our plans are for the future.

What will attendees take away from this session?

Attendes will learn about working to support a minority language Wikipedia and how to build partnerships for such a project
