On the 4th of July 2022, our team met with Mr. Macaroni’s Entertainment team for a second meeting to discuss the production of a comic skit to promote the Yoruba Wikipedia.
The shooting arrangement, releasing, and other agreements were finalized and a draft of the script was sent to us on the 15th of July 2022 for review and corrections. The final version of the script was returned to Mr. Macaroni’s team on the 17th of July 2022. The shooting was done on the 20th of July 2022. On the 28th of July 2022, we received the final version of the video. It was uploaded to Wikimedia Commons on the 30th of July 2022. Mr. Macaroni planned to post it on all social media platforms on the 1st of August 2022.
Mr. Macaroni is a multi-award-winning Nigerian comic skit maker and actor with millions of followers on various social media.
This effort is part of our awareness strategy, and campaign to promote the Yoruba language Wikipedia.
