- B. Strategies
For promotion, we use various means to engage our audience and participants. For Wikimedians, we will use the Central Notice, Watchlist Notice, village pump announcement, mailing list and individual talk pages of previous participants. For Non Wikimedians and all and sundry, we will leverage our social media channels, Facebook,Twitter and Instagram as well as WhatsApp groups of interested participants. We will also collaborate with usergroups and affiliates to promote the campaign during local Wikimedia events. For affiliate, national and group organizers, we additionally use the mailing lists of the project and wikimedia-wide mailing lists as well as affiliates’ publicly-provided contact emails. For contribution quality, we have been experimenting limiting participation to experinced editors, who have clear grasps of photo addition rules and local conventions as recommmended by our evaluation report in 2021 and the result has been continually impressive since then. We are developing resources and documentation on how to implement the campaign in local communities to further support participating affiliates and groups. We use surverys to gather feedback and improve. We are designing post-campaign surveys for both participating affiliates and individual participants for areas needing improvements in the campaign implementation.
- C. Challenges being addressed
Lack of adequate utilization of Wikimedia Commons media files on Wikipedia is one of the major challenges being addressed by this campaign. Our campaign encourages and facilitates, through structured campaign process, the proper utilzation of Commons media files on Wikipedias.
A large numbers of photos and other medias generated from the numerous Wikimedia photo- uploading campaigns most of which have specific focus in addressing content gap and Knowledge inequality (for instance WikiLoves Africa) end up not actually being used on Wikipedias despite the fact that they’re needed in the vast number of Wikipedia articles. All the photos-uploading campaigns were never designed with intention of seeing the media uploaded being put to use where needeed. So there works end on Commons. Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos is bridging that content gap by ensuring the optimal utilization of these media files to Wikipedia and other projects beyond Wikimedia Commons. We have posted more details on this challenged in this Diff blog post: https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/07/05/wikipedia-pages-wanting-photos-contest-2023-making-use-of-photos-to-improve-wikipedia-pages/
