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 will be doing a series of editathons and trainings.

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.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

We will invite UniStu Love Wiki participants (from previous programs) to join the program by posting invitations on their user talk pages. We will send emails about the contest to our mailing list which includes anyone who has RSVP'd or attended UniStu Love Wiki event in the past. We will also use geolocated banners to advertise the contest to local Wikipedia readers, and promote it on our Facebook page, moreover we will use the Wikimedia Community User Group Tanzania meta page to notify the Wikimedia Community Members.

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

We will post on different social media and on the meta page. We will communicate with participants via: Social media, Mailing lists, Online gathering (zoom), posters.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:I JethroBT

Yes we will have other experienced Wikimedians who will be supporting us during the events. We are planning on inviting the following users to our events ( Riccardo Riccioni, Magotech, Idd Ninga and Rwebogora).

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

So far we have many participants who have participated in the last three events so many have the skills to edit, however we are expecting to have new editors, due to this we will provide training and support to all the participants before, while and after the events.

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

We will be conducting online meetings each week and setting goals for each participant weekly. This will help all the participants to be active always.
