Anne of Green Gables Wiki:Projects/100 Years of Anne of the Island

Anne of the Island  is the third book in the Anne of Green Gables series, first published in July 1915. It covers four years of Anne's life -- the four years she spends studying at Redmond College, in fact -- and it celebrates its centenary in July! How awesome is that?

So, to celebrate, we at the wiki have decided to hold a celebration, called 100 Years of Anne of the Island. Here's the deal: You edit any article relating to Anne of the Island during the month of July (denoted by this template at the top), and you can earn a fun set of badges and make your way up the user leaderboard! It's going to be lots of fun, but we need your help to make this work.

And, for those of you out there who watch Green Gables Fables ... Season 2 will be based on Anne of the Island, as well you know. What better way to help out others wanting to know how the season will compare to the book than by adding information about the book? (Also, we hope you'll stick around to edit the GGF articles once Season 2 premiers.)

Another thing: I am aware that the GGF Book Club over at alpine-path have finished the first two books and are in the midst of reading Anne of the Island! What a splendid coincidence! There's nothing like seeing the little Anne communities bonding over the same subject.

Now, the full list of pages that are part of this project (and will therefore get you badges) can be viewed at Category:100 Years of Anne of the Island. The "100 Years of Anne of the Island" badges will only be available during July, so get editing to make sure you don't miss out! (You can still carry out ordinary edits, of course, but only ones belonging to that category will count towards your badges.) Badges earn points, and the points are tallyed on the user leaderboard. But remember, badges aren't everything -- what's important is that we work together to create a fabulous resource for everything Anne.

So ... are you ready to participate in the 100 Years of Anne of the Island project this July? No need to sign up, just jump right in. Are you with us?
