Description

• Why this event or project? (Please explain the objectives or purpose behind this activity)

Of all Indian languages, Tamil has the second-highest number of articles. Since quality is more essential than quantity, we are cleaning the article every three months in order to edit and improve it. We improved 60 Google articles with 10 users in our first iteration. We are now working to improve articles which was created in 2017 by school teachers. We hope that the quality of Tamil Wikipedia will increase through this project.

• What are the Proposed activities? (Give the detailed plan of action with timeline)

• to organize an online event to clean up and improve the articles.
