Learning

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

• What worked well?

Most of the invitations we sent to our new users were answered, so our goals were achieved as we had a successful two days event. We made sure every new user have created and improved an article. Therefore, we call it a successful program.

• What did not work so well?

We had some technical issues in terms of carrying out the project due to little fault we had from the management of our program venue. Though we didn't expect that because we get the halls at a quite high rate, it went beyond our expectations. Also, we had difficulties transporting our fellow participants because of the increase of rate we had for transportation. We also noticed that some edits were not signed by our proposed hashtag (#HWWZ) despite lack of familiarity on how to make edits. Therefore, below is a link to the articles we worked on.. [2]

• What would you do differently next time?

We had all participants gathered in a WhatsApp group and we are working hard on explaining more about the features of Wikipedia, so there will be more efficiency next time we organise a project
