Project Plan[edit]
Activities[edit]
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?
WPWP contest will focus on adding images to the Wikipedia articles that lack them and looking at the Kinyarwanda Wikipedia it is noticeable that there are many articles that are missing and on Wikipedia pages in general, so it is very important to add them so that WP pages navigators can understand more the subject via the added photos.
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.
We have used our active WhatsApp group that we normally use for regular communication.
3. How will you let participants know about the contest? 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.
We have announced the WPWP campaign and its timeline on our meta page (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Meta:Wikimedia_User_Group_Rwanda#July)
4. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.
The judges will use the campaign tracking tool to assess the participants' contribution and select the winners.
