Wikimedia user groups, chapters, global conferences and regional conferences
Financial source of Wikipedia and its resources usage since its early year

Using the structure of Wikipedia (not the content of an article) for research purpose in the education of electrical engineering (as an example) and other discipline of knowledge
The unawareness of the meetup attendees that how far and how big Wikipedia (and the other projects of Wikimedia Commons) can go, which is way beyond their initial expectation
The introduction of Wikipedia's official cosplay character, the Wikipe-tan :)

Articles created

Improvements

The allocated 5 hours time was barely enough to cover all of the basic aspect of Wikipedia editing
Not enough time to demonstrate photo uploading process in Wikimedia Commons
Should have a set of example for any case study, so it's fast to show any given existing example
Should know the background of each participant beforehand to have a more focused discussion to suit each needs
Should have the most commonly used sets of coding in writing Wikipedia articles, so people can just simply copy and paste (I forgot to introduce the Cheatsheet to the participant)
