Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

• What worked well? The target was to add 50 images on the Wiki Commons but the overall total edits was 61. Therefore, the aim of the project was successfully achieved. The dashboard for the event was created to track the contribution s of the editors and progress made. See link: https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/University_of_Ibadan/Training_Wikimedia_Commons_at_the_University_of_Ibadan_Community_(September_-_October_2022)?enroll=
• What did not work so well? The participants were unable to add large number of quality images that of free liscence too.
• What would you do differently next time?

I will organize more trainings in my community contributing to Wikipedia and Wiki Data projects of Wikimedia.
