Attendance stats for 2015 and 2016?

Is anyone aware of sourcing to verify attendance figures for 2015 and 2016? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:00, 17 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

2017

@X1\: I appreciate your preference to separate the 2017 and 2018 subsections, but I'm curious, do you know if really much more information to add for 2017? I haven't found much coverage, hence why I merged the sections for now. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 22:57, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Another Believer: I haven't looked for 2017 info, but even if sparse, wouldn't 2018 be separate as the other years are? Maybe 2018 will have more info. X1\ (talk) 23:07, 27 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I've merged the 2017, 2018, and 2019 sections, which had one sentence each, until more detail is added. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:53, 4 November 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Update for 2020 and/or 2021?

Are there any appropriate sources we could use to add 2020 and 2021 updates? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 20:42, 25 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I've just added lines about both conferences, with reference to the official WikiConference NA website. I couldn't find any other sources (i.e. news articles), but will keep looking. Patr2016 (talk) 20:33, 13 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Basically a convention

CycoMa, What are you suggesting should be done to the article? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 21:13, 26 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Minh Ming from vi wiki

hi, i have translated this post to viwiki but i don't know if this event will still happen in the future? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Minh Ming (talk • contribs) 10:23, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Minh Ming: Hi, yes, WikiConference North America will occur later this year, probably in autumn. The URL, https://wikiconference.org, currently redirects to the 2021 conference, but that will change once planning starts.

BTW, during our last WikiConference NA, I did a presentation, File:How Do the Top Ten Languages in North America Fare on Their Wikipedias.pdf that you might want to glance at, since Vietnamese is the sixth most spoken language in North America. Peaceray (talk) 18:34, 21 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
