Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
Number of participants: 100 Several people participated This metric is difficult to accurately measure because there is no tool available for measuring this metric. However, more than 10 people were involved with using the images on Wikipedia articles during our images-use-a-thon.
Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: 500+ More than 2000 photos were uploaded, from which more than 200 photos were properly categorized, and others uploaded directly. See our landing page for the contest We created (our campaign page) for monitoring and tracking contributions. This was promoted on our social media handles. More than 200 photos were uploaded via our page, and hundreds of photos were directly uploaded via the international contest page.
Number of photos used on Wikimedia projects (wikipedia, wikidata) 200 More than 50 photos were used on Yoruba Wikipedia Image uses were focused only on Yoruba Wikipedia. Many of the images collected were not relevant to the available articles.

Learning[edit]

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?

Just like the Wiki Loves Folklore campaigns, the following worked well for Wiki Loves Africa

  1. Our project page worked well.
  2. Timely disbursement of funds by the WMF
  3. The creation of new articles for quality images that are in scope
  • What did not work so well?
  1. The theme of "Home and habitas" does not work well, and many of the images may not be really useful as there exists less content relating to home and habitats, especially on small language Wikipedia.
  2. No effective tracking tools to monitor participants, and for tracking in cases where there are multiple organizers of the contest in the same country
  • What would you do differently next time?
  1. We will engage the international organizers on their plans for tracking the total number of participants, and effective plan for tracking in cases where there are multiple organizers of the contest in the same country
