Lift IP rate limit - Workshop - 2017-04-06
Closed, ResolvedPublic

Description

Wikimedia Chile, the local chapter in Chile, will host an outreach event at Santiago on April 6th.

This event is a Workshop in an University. This event is linked with our local project Wikipedia in the U (Wikipedia en la Universidad). The editors will work together to learn or improve their editing skills, and then they could improve some articles in Spanish Wikipedia.

We are expecting about 25 people to attend. One of the things we'd like to do is encourage potential newbie participants to create their own accounts during the session and learn editing, guided by their teacher and veteran volunteers from Wikimedia Chile chapter.

So, I request lift the IP rate limit around 3 hours (between 11:00 UTC - 14:00 UTC ; 08:00 CLST - 11:00 CLST)

Wikis: es.wikipedia.org
IP address: 190.96.91.202
Timeframe: April 6 2017 11:00 UTC to April 6 2017 15:00
Wikipage of the event: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Chile/Wikipedia_en_la_Universidad
Attendees: 25

Thanks in advance

You're welcome. Nothing happened, there is some deploy window which I can use so you don't need to worry this time :).
