Activities

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

No

2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

I carried out the process in which the community will be involved, through the user group on social media, group on WhatsApp and Facebook.

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

I will try to inform the college's management before the time of event and highlight them about what the event is all about.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:Kaizenify

2. Sufie Alyaryasie
3. Ibrahim Sani Mustapha

5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

The participants may not necessarily have the skills because they are new but I believed that most of them will come with their smartphone, laptops and other supportive devices that will help in carrying out this project.

6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

WhatsApp group and facebook page will be created after the event and add whose have an interest about Wikipedia for the responding to their questions and guidance on how to contribute to the Wikipedia.

7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

Yes, Wikipedia awareness have never take place at Aminu Kano College of Education and Legal Studies, Kano, while this college is among the most biggest colleges in Kano State and the 95% of the students are using Hausa language and most of them don't know on how to make a research and contribute to the Hausa Wikipedia. Therefore, through this project I will use this opportunity to bring a changes by recruiting the new editors for the Hausa Wikipedia. In advance, the less improved articles that are related to the college and the areas that are surrounded the college will be improved through this project.
