Project Plan[edit]
Activities[edit]
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?
- I plan to organize two series of training sessions to introduce the target audience to Wikipedia
2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.
- I have posted notification in the discussion page of Wikimedia user group Nigeria to notify the community about this project and to seek for help.
3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.
4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:I JethroBT
- I have contacted the executives of Wikimedia Nigeria Foundation and they have agreed to support this training.
5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?
- The students have equipments for participating at the training to contribute high quality content. However, they are newbies to Wikipedia. Our plan is to provide experienced Wikimedians to support the training,.
6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?
- Whatsapp Channel is the most popular and accessible channel among the youths in Nigeria. So, I plan to create Whatsapp chat to coordinate discussion after the training.
7. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
