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?

We are doing two edit-a-thons and series of trainings.

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

We are going to publicize the event at the University website (www.unn.edu.ng), library face book page (https://www.facebook.com/Nnamdi.Azikiwe.library/ ) , University radio (Lion FM) and Federal Radio Cooperation of Nigeria (FRCN), a federal radio station covering the whole of Eastern Nigeria where University of Nigeria is located. We will also publicize the program through posters, handbills and our existing edit-a-thon editors WhatsApp group platform.

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes. Our facilitators have acquired enough experience. Two of them have been facilitators since 2017 and the other two since 2018. Moreover experienced editors like Mohammed Sadat ( User: Masssly) happily joins us remotely through Skype. Ms Zita Ursula Zage and Mr Olaniyan Olusholu will also join us this time through the same means.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

Yes, participants have the equipment and skills needed to contribute high quality content. Our participants are graduate staff and students of public and private institutions in Enugu State. Most of them are University Lecturers who use computer technology every day for their research. So, they have the skill to work in online environment. The University Library also has three computer laboratories containing two thousand, three hundred and eighty computers. Both Local Area and Wide Area Internet Networks exist in the University. There is electricity and the University Library has a stand- by electric power generator. Furthermore, MTN Internet router, Projector screen and machine (Epson), Splinter, Public Address System, VGA cables belonging to Wikimedia Foundation but domiciled in the library for use during edit-a-thons are available

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

Already, there is an existing WhatsApp group platform for our participants. New members join the group as they come. Moreover, the library is planning to open a separate face book page for our editors.

6. 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:

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

Yes. There is need for remuneration for our participants. Most of our participants are University Lecturers and post graduate students who operate under tight schedule. A little remuneration will go a long way in encouraging them.
