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?

Immovable monuments of culture of national importance is Georgian churches, monasteries, fortresses, palaces, residential houses, bridges, towers and other monuments granted status of immovable monuments of culture of national importance. With the help of this contest, we want to increase the number of high-quality articles on cultural monuments of both Georgian and foreign language Wikipedia. This contest will also help increase the number of new editors on Wikipedia. The contest will contribute to the popularization of Georgian culture, which is very ancient and rich.

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 created a project page in Georgian Wikipedia and on Meta-Wiki, when the project begins we will, through the central notification, preempt all Wikipedia visitors about the project. Also, through our official accounts in social networks (kawiki Facebook, UG-GE Facebook, Twitter, Instagram), we will attract new members and warn them about our project. We will also send an invitation to participate in the competition via Wikipedia.

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

Yes.

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

Specifically: the editors of the Georgian Wikipedia have all the skills and abilities to work in Wikipedia and participate in the contest. We will help the new editors to the maximum extent possible both remotely and realistically. Also, if Georgian editors, who will not have technical adaptations: the Central Library of the Tbilisi State University makes it possible to use both the Internet and computers for free. As for foreign participants, we unfortunately cannot assess their level of skills and equipment, but we will help them as much as possible in all matters.

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

We try to hold many thematic contests, so the editors are free to take part in our projects.

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

This contest is a great chance to recruit new editors, as well as a great chance to bring together different communities around the same goal.
