Wikipedia:WikiProject Latin America/The 10,000 Challenge

Thought it was worth setting up a page and seeing if some editors who are active for some Latin American countries might be interested in some sort of ambitious challenge to aim for long term with 10,000 article improvements or creations for South America, Central America and the Caribbean. The idea is based on Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge for the UK and The 10,000 Challenge (Africa), but with people adding entries for different countries with flags much like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic), so we can see which countries are being worked on.

The idea is not to document every minor edit or improvement, but to create a momentum by displaying the diversity of content being improved or created for each country and make it more visible regionally, and in turn attempt to inspire and motivate people to work on countries they might not normally work on or reinforce existing national WikiProject efforts to improve content. With that in place, eventually there might be some contests in the format of Wales's Awaken the Dragon, The Africa Destubathon or regional/national contests held for Latin American countries with prizes, contests for Asian women etc to help fuel the drive but we'll see.

Some countries like Brazil, Mexico or Argentina might be more interested in smaller 1000 Challenges like Nordic and Turkey, not sure, but it's possible we could work something out where people work on smaller regional challenges and feed them into a list for the entire continent.
