WikiSnap challenge
 Hello Gowthamsubramaniam:

Wikipedia is holding a contest called the WikiSnap Challenge The goal of this drive is to eliminate poor stub articles with not so much as a picture or info box. The contest starts on the 3rd of April and continues until a winner is declared.

Awards will be given out for all participating in the drive in the form of barnstars at the end of the contest. Thanks. Fremantle99 (talk) 06:58, 18 March 2014 (UTC)
