Wikipedia Singapore Meetup X

The Wikipedia Singapore meetup X was held on:

It was an impromptu meetup called by Exec8 upon request of Andrew Lih (User:Fuzheado) of Wikimedia US Consortium. Andrew was on a holiday and was expected to present at the the 2018 World Library and Information Congress (WLIC 2018) and host a Meetup in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur.

It was named Singapore X due to two reasons:

  • 10th organized meetup
  • Extraordinary (special, impromptu and not regular) meetup
