Project Goal[edit]

Choose one or more of the following goals. You can add or delete goals as needed. You can add details to each goal. For example, if you want to add content on a specific subject.

  • Within the project I will work in Georgian Wikipedia and Wikicommons. Also, I will add to Wikidata and teach all these other participants.
  • Training new editors.
  • I will attract new editors who know Georgian language and will like to fill Georgian Wikipedia with articles and involve them in this training.
  • Achieving the goals of Wikimedia Community User Group Georgia.

Project Plan[edit]

Activities[edit]

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content gaps will you be filling with the equipment?

I regularly conduct field trainings in different regions of Georgia and teach pupils and students the alphabet of Wikipedia. I conduct Wiki-lessons at camps and master-classes for the teachers of Georgian Association of History Educators. Also, I manage two Wiki-clubs at central libraries of Khashuri and Surami. Twice a year, together with the pupils, I am invited to the wiki-camps of Armenia. At my free time, I conduct online trainings and consultations for the interested ones from home. I supplement Wikicommons and Wikidata of Georgian Wikipedia as well.

2. What activities will you organize in the next 6 months to create content and use it on Wikimedia projects?

I plan to continue various meetings with pupils within summer schools and camps. I am going to conduct master-classes for the history educators of Georgia. Also, I will organize thematic competitions (such as Wiki-Ural, monthly Wiki-projects, cooperation with Armenian and Bashkir Wikipedias), I will translate and create at least 5-10 articles in Georgian Wikipedia and edit various articles (at least 20-30 changes per day).

3. How will the equipment be shared/tracked/cared for by members of your community?

I will take care of the equipment and save it. If needed, it will be transferred to other members in a temporary ownership. Its data will be included in the special accounting records of Wikimedia Community User Group Georgia.

4. How long will the equipment be used, and by whom?

I will use the equipment carefully and store it. The resource of work is about 5 years.

5. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

I regularly have to conduct field trainings in regions and teach pupils the basics of Wikipedia. I use the technique of the relevant schools and libraries. This is too inconvenient for me and them as well. I can’t take my service laptop to the trainings, because it contains service information.

Impact[edit]

How will you know if the project is successful and you've met your goals? Please include the following targets and feel free to add more:

  • During six months, I will create 30 articles (each one at least 15 000 bytes).
  • I will conduct two trainings at Wiki-club.
  • I will organize a Wiki-contest.
  • I will consult new users online.
  • I will teach the members of the camp.
  • I will conduct Wiki-lessons in one of the regions.
