Part 1 Understanding your work[edit]
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
As long-time organizers of edit-a-thons and campaigns here in the Philippines, we have always followed the structure we devised to implement the projects. This would always start with discussing the rapid grant request posted in meta, explaining each item from objectives, targets, strategies, people involved, and finances. For delegating the tasks of each member, it will be upon their availability as volunteers. Transportation expenses and data allowances are always covered to ensure full participation. We are only composed of a small team, and some of the members will have dual roles, such as sending invites to newbies while also handling the training sessions; others will cover logistics and finances, while those that have minimal availability will be helping with what little effort they can offer. At the end of the session, an open forum and evaluation will be conducted to ensure that all needs are met. While we have followed the overall plan for the duration of the program, we will always try to adjust details and strategies to align with what is needed by the newly invited editors.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
One approach we have tried is not to instantly teach the newbies how to edit but to understand their needs and perspective regarding Wikipedia, which is famous for all the wikiprojects. From there, we have aligned their needs and enthusiasm to get them involved in editing. This activity includes the informal sharing of ideas, photo walks, and testimonies from the organizers and other old members of the group.

4. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.
| A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups | Strongly agree |
| B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community | Strongly agree |
| C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups | Strongly agree |
| D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives | Strongly agree |
| E. Encourage the retention of editors | Strongly agree |
| F. Encourage the retention of organizers | Strongly agree |
5. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?
Most of our participants are college students, and we plan to build a small group of volunteers handling those interested participants from their schools. This will be in the form of a Wiki club. The usual orientation pattern will be followed, such as explaining the people involved in our group, what projects we are working on, and what are Wikimedia projects until those interested students will be dedicated editors or will be part of organizers for future activities.
Part 2: Your main learning[edit]
6. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?
Editor sustainability has been a priority year after year of running campaigns. One thing we were not able to fully maximize this year is partnering with the main organizer of the event (Wiki Loves Women) through online meetings. We see it as something that would add enthusiasm to newbie editors if they were able to meet some Wikimedians from other parts of the world. Perceiving this as a global advocacy for the gender gap may have added to their enthusiasm in joining the campaign until the last sessions.
Also, it was observable that some of the created articles have only been edited at least every campaign period. There was no history of editing for the months that are not on the scope of the campaign. We suggested for some of the volunteers devote some extra time to editing these stagnant articles. They can even apply as stewards for the project so they can have experience in administering a wikiproject.
We have noticed a need on reviewing the local language in terms of orthography, grammar, and syntax. This will be addressed during the Language Preservation projects we have such as the Wiktionary Edit-a-thon, through a series of training on these specific topics.
7. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?This can include both positive and negative situations. What did you learn from those experiences?
Venue - One of our edit-a-thon is scheduled to be conducted in a University Library, however, due to a conflict in schedule, it was canceled. It would be practical next time to schedule at a much earlier date to secure availability.
The number of newbie participants - We are targeting 45 participants for the duration of the activity but we were only able to gather at least half of it.
Edit and new article count - What we are not able to achieve in inviting newbies, we were able to compensate in editing activities. Tagalog counter 1120 (https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/69376) and Central Bikol has 183 (https://quarry.wmcloud.org/query/69369).
8. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?
There is a lot of priority in recruiting newbie editors and sustaining their efforts. Lesser tasks will be given so they would not be overwhelmed with a lot of new things. We are looking into incorporating in doing minor edits such as Wiki interlinking or utilization of the ISA tool (https://isa.toolforge.org/) as a form of a game while adding metadata to images uploaded on Wikimedia Commons. We are also building a system of networking editors. This will be for those who have failed to attend the actual events. Trained organizers will gather in much smaller groups to train 2 or 3 participants.
9. Documentation of resources: Use this space to upload any documents that would be useful to share with others (e.g. communications material, training material, presentations).

Part 3: Metrics[edit]
10a. Open Metrics reporting
In your application, you defined some open metrics and targets (goals). You will see a table like the one below with your metric in the title and the target you set in your proposal automatically filled in. Use the tables to report the result. Use the comments column to describe any aspects of this result that you find relevant. If the results were different from the initial target (goals) then you can explain why and what you learned from this. You can also provide any qualitative analysis regarding these results. In the last column please describe the tools and methodology used to collect this data and any difficulties you might have had.
| Open Metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Editor sustainability | This measures the number of editors present in the duration of the campaign and also includes the repeat participants for each event. | 25 | 15 | During the entire campaign, there was a sustained effort of editing Wikiquote entries in both Central Bikol and Tagalog Wikiquote. During the evaluation period, newbie participants have expressed interest in being invited again for this year’s A+F Campaign in the Philippines so they could continue contributing both to Wikiquote and Wikipedia. The lack of devices and means for data connection are two major obstructions to why they cannot do regular editing. | Open Forum, Evaluation, and Attendance Checking |
| Article views and Edits | This refers to how articles are being viewed by users and being developed by different editors. | 100 | 4334 | Many of the created entries are being constantly edited, either through the addition of quotations, fixing typographical errors and grammar syntax, or adding pictures. However, there was slow progress on editing activity just after the end of the campaign. There are 4334 revisions, 2287 pages created or improved, 25 users, and 5 projects being recorded by the Hashtag Tracker tool.

Manually checking the "View History" of created articles |
| Local Language Expertise | This measures how fluent or comfortable the editors are with using the local language for creating pages in Wikiquote. | 20 | 15 | We made use of the OpusMT for translations and a lot of words being generated there are from Central Bikol Wikipedia. There are a lot of mistranslations and only a few of the participants are quite mindful that some words and phrases in English are not to be directly translated as it would change the thought of the quote. There is a lot to work on the familiarity with the language, especially in areas of orthography, vocabulary, and grammar. For the Tagalog Wikiquote, the Google Translate tool was suggested to be used but as much as possible, participants are advised to manually translate their articles for their own mastery of the language. The tool should be used just for double-checking or if a word or phrase is too hard to translate. | Open Forum and Evaluation |
| Future Campaign Organizers | This refers to co-organizers who have shown interests to run their own campaigns in the future. | 3 | 7 | The organizers for the SheSaid Campaign in the Philippines 2023 will be part of the Art+Feminism Campaign this year. There is a sustained enthusiasm for organizing and facilitating edit-a-thons and a lot of them are now experienced in training newbies in editing several Wikiprojects. | Open Forum and Evaluation |

10b. Core Metrics reporting
In your application, you defined targets for some core metrics and targets (goals). You will see a table like the one below with each core metric in the title and the target you set in your proposal automatically filled in. Use the tables to report the result. Use the comments column to describe any aspects of this result that you find relevant. If the results were different from the initial target (goals) then you can explain why and what you learned from this. You can also provide any qualitative analysis regarding these results. In the last column please describe the tools and methodology used to collect this data and any difficulties you might have had. Note: a table will appear for each Wikimedia project content contribution you defined in your proposal.
| Core metrics | Description | Target | Results | Comments | Methodology |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of participants | There will be two categories of participants, new and repeat participants. We target higher number of new participants for each event. | 45 | 15 | This includes both the organizers and the newbie participants. There are 4 sessions being organized and mostly would attend only one-time sessions and other organizers would not be able to complete the sessions due to conflicts in school schedules. | Attendance Sheets |
| Number of editors | All participants are invited to engage in editing, at least to add an image, a quotation, reference, or create a user account on Wikiquote. | 45 | 25 | There are 25 editors being tracked by the Wikimedia Hashtag tracker tool. 23 participants were able to list their usernames on our event page in Metawiki. | Wikimedia Hashtag Tracker tool
