Train existing editors on a specific skill

Project Plan[edit]

Activities[edit]

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. What will you and other organizers spend your time doing?

I hope I will have an opportunity to visit the Wiki-Conference 2018 in Saint Petersburg. I am glad that I was able to share my experience at the annual conference in Moscow and to train new editors last year. This year I want to tell other participants at the wiki-conference about my first visit to Wikimania. I think the participating in such events can attract more attention to editing Wikipedia and uploading photos on Commons, because the participation in Wikimania was very well covered by the media of my city.

Also I want to take some photos of the participants of the conference, among them there may be scientists or other famous personalities about whom Wikipedia articles have already exist.

How will you let others in your community know about your project (please provide links to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions)? Why are you targeting a specific audience?

I suggested the topic of my report on this page.

And I registered as a participant.

I am targeting a specific audience because there are many authors in the Russian language section of Wikipedia, they are actively developing this section, but the question of attracting new editors, especially women volunteers, is still actual. Cooperation with media is necessary, because this is the easiest way to distribute information widely, so more and more people will know about Wikipedia.

What will you have done at the end of your project? How will you follow-up with people that are involved with your project?

I want to share experience with other participants. After that, I want to create a booklet in the electronic form under a free license, where I'll tell about popularisation of Wikipedia through the media and attracting more people to edit Wikipedia through taking part in the international events.

Also, during the conference I want to take many photoes of the participants. I'm going to upload about 100 photos or more on Commons.

I'm available in social networks, and communicating with other wikimedians on Facebook. Anyone can contact me by email too.
