Fulfulde Wikipedia up to now didn't have more active Users moreover 60% of existing editors in Fulfulde Wikipedia have no experience in editing and citations some of them didn't know that references is required to any article created especially articles regarding biography of notable people also lots of Fulfulde Wikipedia articles have no references. The existing editors need to be trained on how to edit and add references and differentiate between reliable source and unreliable. The absence of adequate active contributors in Fulfulde Wikipedia, this brings obstacle and detained impact contributions in Fulfulde Language in fact there's no any awareness or any event regarding Fulfulde Wikipedia was done in Kaduna and in the whole North West some people used to ask us why there's no fulfulde Wikipedia? And we tell them that there's fulfulde on Wikipedia, but the activities of Fulfulde Wikipedia is very low due to the lack of more users as many as required. Many people want to join fulfulde Wikipedia but the absence of awareness and training hindered them in joining Wikimedia movement, compare to Kaduna is the second-largest city in northern Nigeria, also center of learning, there is lots of Native Fulani people in Kaduna, especially in schools, this is the reason we plan to carryout 10 days trips for awareness this is to promote sulfured Wikipedia in Kaduna Metropolis we will be walking all over the Kaduna city for 10 days including the visiting of some major schools which includes tertiary institutions, colleges and secondary schools we will be sharing fliers and pamphlets during the trips to the students and common people, and we will select some students from each school we have visited to create an account for them and train them. Furthermore, we will post 8 billboards to the main roads and junctions within the city We will also invite media agent to cover the event s there's also radio awareness and 2 days training.
- 2. Describe your main approaches or strategies to achieve these changes and why you think they will be effective.
The strategies that we are hoping to achieve is to make sure that we provide the good references to more than 300 articles in Fulfulde Wikipedia especially articles that are related to the Biography of notable people and also to make sure that our existing editors have gotten a huge experience and skills in editing Wikipedia and adding genuine references and teach them on how to differentiate between reliable sources of references and unreliable.
- 3. What are the activities you will be developing and delivering as part of these approaches or strategies?
Our activities during the event will be focused on Awareness, 10 days trips, 2 days training and Edit-a-thon, adding genuine references to the existing articles, creating an account for the new users and strengthening the skills of our existing editors.
