What is the typical format of the event?	These decentralized campaigns rely heavily on a network of local event organizers. When working with new event organizers, regional training for new organizers is important.
How long do the campaigns last?	At least 1 month, sometimes longer to accommodate the complexity of scheduling local events.
How do the organizers target the audience?	Organizers target existing organizers through partners or activist networks. The central organizers focus on encouraging local events, which then have local audiences.
What is the typical impact of these events?	Content gaps --  Art+Feminism and WikiGap have had a partial success at filling knowledge gaps, with less content being produced at events mostly focused on newcomers. The bulk of new content comes from more experienced editors. Contributor gaps - These campaigns are very effective at activating local organizers and helping them introduce Wikimedia to local potential editor communities. Art+Feminism for example, has created whole new networks of organizers and event participants previously unreached by the movement. Reader gaps - These campaigns tend to create awareness about content gaps on Wikipedia, and strong conversations with activist networks and communities about those gaps in a local context.
Challenges	Event organizing in the Wikimedia context can be challenging especially when working on larger language Wikipedias. Meta-organizers spend considerable time mentoring and coaching local event organizers.  Newcomer events can be hard to support, especially on hard topic areas, without experienced organizers and contributors
