Project idea[edit]
What is the problem you're trying to solve?[edit]
Poor number and quality of articles about the top 50 notable Chadiens writers According to the associations of Chadian writers, there are a hundred Chadian writers. Some are notable enough to exist on Wikipedia On French Wikipedia, only 10 Chadian writers currently exist, including two women. Added to this is the poor quality of existing articles. Not to mention the virtual inexistence of images linked to these writers on Commons.
What is your solution to this problem?[edit]
Creating and improving the Wikipedia articles of the 50 top notable Chadians writers We provide 4-5 weeks Wikipedia training sessions to young people, under 35 years old, from two universities of Chad. During each training session, learners focus on creating and improving the Wikipedia articles of the 50 most notable Chadian writers. The course progression is inspired by the WikiEducation Syllabus and was experienced for more than 6 months in Abidjan and which Abdallahbigboy member of our usergroup participated.[1].
Project goals[edit]
- Recruit new Wikipedia editors or members of User Group Tchad
- Increase skills for existing editors who have less than 50 contributions
- Add or improve content on Wikimedia Website (Wikipedia, Commons)
- Involve advanced wikipedians in mentorship of newbies
