<div dir="ltr">Hoi,<div><br></div><div>At this time in between Christmas and the new year, it is also a time for fun things to do. So I prepared a challenge for you in the hope that you will like it.</div><div><br></div><div>
The Gallaudet university awards yearly the Laurent Clerc award [1]. So far there have been 43 recipients. Only three of them have a Wikipedia article on the English Wikipedia.</div><div><br></div><div>The objective of this challenge is to show deaf people who are winners. To make a start for you I have added all 43 Laurent Clerc award winners in Wikidata [2]. You can take part in this challenge by:</div>
<div><ul><li>write a Wikipedia article about these people</li><li>add information about these people in Wikidata</li><li>providing us with freely licensed images about these people</li><li>check if there are other awards for deaf people or awards won by deaf people</li>
</ul></div><div>Wikipedia has a new feature called "draft". I know it exists but I do not know the finer details. There is a draft article about Valerie [3], this article can also do with some TLC.</div><div><br>
</div><div>I hope you like this challenge of mine. If there is an award, it is that deaf people and deaf culture will get more positive attention.</div><div>Thanks,</div><div> Gerard</div><div><br></div><div>[1] <a href="http://www.gallaudet.edu/development_and_alumni_relations/alumni_relations/alumni_association_(guaa)/awards/clerc_award.html">http://www.gallaudet.edu/development_and_alumni_relations/alumni_relations/alumni_association_(guaa)/awards/clerc_award.html</a></div>
