Project Plan[edit]

Activities[edit]

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?

I am doing a series of editathons. These editathons are meant to improve the skills of volunteers who are joined the Wikimedia Movement in the Workshop I will conduct together with other three experienced editors. The editathons will lead to more experienced volunteers who will help in training the new volunteers.

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.

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.

social media usage include whatsapp,Face book,Twitter and telegram.

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

There are four experienced Wikimedia Editors including myself that are ready to lead the event. These editors supported the last Wikimedia Workshop in kaduna in which it was a success.
user:umar a usman
user:Hamxo
user:itzedubaba

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

Not all the volunteers have the equipment needed to participate and contribute and therefore I am planning to get a venue where there are enough computers that these participants will use them. Also not all the volunteers have the skills to contribute high quality content but through trainings these volunteers will be able to grasp the skills.

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

The contacts of all the participants in the project will be taken. Through having their contacts it would be easy to have them all in one WhatsApp group in which they will be motivated to edit more and check on the articles that have been edited by others so as they could improve them or learn from them.

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

The project is of great importance as the new volunteers recruits during the Workshop conduct on 5th july were motivated and had the energy to participate more in contributing to the Wikimedia projects. For them to become good contributors that single workshop is not worthy it as they would probably forget some of the things that they learned that day and also there is a lot to learn that was not covered in that single day.

Impact[edit]

How will you know if the project is successful and you've met your goals? Please include the following targets:

  1. Number of events:2
  2. Number of participants:20
  3. Number of new editors:15
  4. Number of of articles created or improved:50
  5. Number of repeat participants (for projects that include a series of events):20
I will know if the project is successful after the series of 2 events. The number of targeted participants per each event is 20. In each event, if the number of the targeted participants has reached that would mean success. In katsina, the habit of volunteering is not common to many and therefore I believe that some of the volunteers will come on one event and they wont attend on the other one. To replace the number of these types of volunteers in each event we will invite new volunteers who will meet with the other volunteers who have attended the other events, these volunteers will be helping out the new volunteers with the skills on how to contribute and all this would mean success in a way that there would be new volunteers and repeat participants who would help one another. In each event, we expect each volunteer to contribute to at least a single article, therefore by the end of the project we expect at maximum 30 articles created and improved.

Metrics tracking[edit]

How do you plan to track your project metrics?

Events dashboard will be created to track participants contributions.
