Azerbaijan to be represented at Wikimania forum in Hong Kong
Azerbaijan has been invited for the first time for Wikimania forum to be held in Hong Kong, August 7-11 2013.
At the forum, the country will be represented by coordinators of the national segment of Wikipedia Rovshan Ramizoglu and Elgun Ataliyev.

As stated, in the Azerbaijani part of Wikipedia there are more than 95,000 articles in different directions. azWiki is numbering about 50 active editors – no one newspaper of Azerbaijan has such a large editorial staff.

“Although Wikipedia is the fifth largest website in the world, in Azerbaijan it is not widely known and needs promotion by the media,” Elgun Ataliyev said.

Wikimania has been conducted since 2005 and Azerbaijan will be represented at the conference for the first time.
