Microgrants/Elections in Europe/Report

No, there are still plenty of new articles to be created or existing ones improved.

Activities and lessons learned

Activities

To date, I've used the book to create over 550 articles and improved over 650 by adding more details or referencing – a total of over 1,200 articles. I'm still nowhere near finished – after the last few Swiss referendum articles, I can get to work on political parties, which could yield a couple of hundred more articles plus improvements to many more.

The book has also been helpful in a long-running project with a German editor on compiling a complete list of elections and referendums in all countries.
