Twenty-five years ago, a radical idea was born: a free, collaborative encyclopedia written by volunteers, for humanity. Today, Wikipedia is a global beacon of shared knowledge. Here at Hausa Wikimedians UserGroup and the general Hausa Wikimedians community, we didn’t just watch this historic milestone pass by; we celebrated it by organizing writing contest to make its Hausa edition even better.
Now we are proud to announce the successful conclusion of the Wikipedia@25
