That would also be a good topic for a Wikinews article. BilboBeggins (talk) 19:29, 28 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Hawkeye7: Thanks for sharing your story! It reminds me a lot of our experiences at the Youth Olympic Games 2018 and 2020. The first one is covered a bit in this and that presentation. Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 16:26, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Cool Thing and very good, that this gained attention. A bit sad, that as we were with all in all 6 Wikimedians in an mixed argentinian-german project at the 2018 Youth Olympics, noboday cared. -- Marcus Cyron (talk) 16:36, 7 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I did try to generate international interest in the Paralympic Project at Wikimania 2013 in Hong Kong, but without luck. There was some cooperation in Sochi 2016 from Russia and Ukraine. There will be a Winter Paralympics in Italy in 2026, but while we can secure accreditation, Australia is a country of summer sports and backing is unlikely. Next up is Los Angeles 2028 and there is no US chapter to coordinate with. Then comes 2032 on home soil in Brisbane. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 00:01, 8 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Hawkeye7: I believe there's the Wikimedians of Los Angeles User Group that you can reach out to to coordinate with US Paralympic Committee. I am interested in covering for 2028 Los Angeles, as I have done something similar for 2015 Parapan American Games in Toronto in my volunteer capacity. I will check with Wikimedia Canada to see if they have some sort of contacts with Canadian Paralympic Committee. Overall, good work! OhanaUnited^{Talk page} 15:50, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
