Goal[edit]
The goal of this project is to provide freely licensed photos of at least 1000 - 1200 Nigeria municipalities, castles, nature reserves, rivers, creeks and other landmarks that were not available before. We also aimed to use at least 500 of these images on articles that lack these images on Wikipedia and create at least 50 new articles for at least 50 of the images.
Plan[edit]
Activities[edit]
Nigeria is divided into six geopolitical zones and federal capital territory. The Six geopolitical zones consists of South-West, South-East, North-Central, South-South, North-East, North-West. The first stage of this project will focus on Lagos and Oyo State. Our team of volunteer photographers will visit these states using commercial buses between 25 March 2016 and 24 June 2016. During these trips, we will take images of Nigeria municipalities, castles, nature reserves, rivers, creeks and other landmarks that could be used for various purposes on Wikimedia projects. The images obtained will be described, uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and categorized. On the weekends when people are not traveling, the participants and the user group will work on uploading images, adding them to articles and creating new articles. However, volunteers can work for 5 hours per day but based on our past experience, an average Nigerian Wikimedian/Volunteer can only upload a maximum of 50 high quality images per day/session. This is due to several factors including poor internet connection service in Nigeria. With 10 Wikimedians/Volunteers we can upload 500 - 600 images per uploading session. We will sponsor their local travel cost to the uploading venue. We will also provide breakfast and lunch for them.
Impact[edit]
Target readership[edit]
- Wikimedia Common
- English Wikipedia
- Yoruba Wikipedia
Fit with strategy[edit]
What crucial thing will the project try to change or benefit in the Wikimedia movement? Please select the Wikimedia strategic priority(ies) that your project most directly aims to impact and explain how your project fits. Most projects fit all strategic priorities. However, we would like project managers to focus their efforts on impacting 1–2 strategic priorities. Examples of strategic priorities can be found here.
The project will provide new photographs to support Wikipedia articles about Nigeria, thus increasing their quality, as well as other projects that benefit from freely available media.
Measures of success[edit]
Please provide a list of both quantitative and qualitative criteria that will be used to determine how successful the project is. You will need to report on the success of the project according to these measures after the project is completed. See the PEG program resources for suggested measures of success.
We will consider this project a success if we
- Upload at least 1000 - 1200 images on common
- Use at least 500 images on at least 500 articles on Wikipedia
- Create at least 50 new articles for at least 50 of the images that have no existing articles on Wikipedia
Note: In addition to your project-specific measures of success, you will also be asked to report on some global metrics at the end of your final report. Please keep this in mind as you plan, and we'll support you as you begin your project.
