Sometimes we can predict when an article is going to be in the news, and as we learned with 2014's en:Battle of Clontarf, getting a group of articles up to scratch in advance of an anniversary is a great way to keep Wikipedia ahead of the curve. It can also be something that engages with experts. There are of course far more anniversaries than we have capacity to hold editathons, but there are other ways to plan improvement of articles, including buying reference books for editors keen to work on particular anniversary events. So we'd like to use this page to discuss what the forthcoming anniversaries are that people are interested in working on, and what hot topics we are likely to see in 2015 and explore what the interest level is.
