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?

It will be an editathon for both new and existing volunteers.

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.

I have made an announcement on the community discussion page. See link [1]

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?

We will use the common social media outlets to reach out for participants. The likes of WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.

There are experienced editors equiped and ready to give out support in carrying out this project. The likes of User: Uncle Bash007, User: Aliyu shaba and User: Musa Vacho77.

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

Most of the participants have smartphones and some computers, so the only assist they will need is that of data for internet and some rented computers for participants that didn't have access to it.

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

I will create a WhatsApp group for participants especially the new ones to keep in touch and ask questions about Wikipedia.

7. 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:
