The first edition of the Science Month on Wikipedia challenge and contest took place from May 19 to June 30, 2025. Thanks to this new initiative organized by Wikimedia Czech Republic, 43 editors successfully improved a total of 405 articles about scientific figures, concepts, and institutions, 219 of which were newly created.
The challenge served as a reminder that Wikipedia is a powerful tool for science outreach – and that anyone can contribute, even those just starting out with editing. Science is a key pillar of our society, yet hundreds of notable figures and topics from the natural, technical, social, and humanities fields are still missing from Wikipedia.
