Collaboration of the Week

Help edit Burundi, Misplaced Pages's current Collaboration of the week! Please help to improve it to featured article standard.

The Republika y'u Burundi (formerly Urundi) is a small landlocked nation in the Great Lakes region of Africa. It is bordered by Rwanda on the north, Tanzania on the south and west, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the east. Although the country is land-locked, much of its western border is adjacent to Lake Tanganyika where it enjoys access to the port of Dar es Salaam

You can still help with last week's article History of the Balkans (how it improved), look at previous collaborations, or help pick next week's article.

Wikimedia Collaboration of the Week

The Wikimedia Collaboration of the Week is an attempt to get the Wikimedia community to join forces in tackling problems that affect all our projects. The current COTW is to create a standard multilingual manual for the MediaWiki software. The help pages should be linked from Help:Contents on Meta, our Wikimedia-wide coordination wiki. Please see the instructions for this COTW and help to make it happen!
