今年的亞洲月在COVID-19疫情之下,比我們想像中的具有挑戰。一些亞洲國家的社群因為缺乏能量而不參與今年的活動。儘管如此,我們還是在2021年11月如期完成了賽事。我們的工作包括:
Under the global pandemic of COVID-19, the challenging of running the program is much more than we thought. Some communities in Asian countries do not participate the project for lack of energy. However, we still finished the competition on time. Our works has been done includes:
- 宣傳
- 我們從10月6日起重新啟動了亞洲月的臉書粉絲專頁,到目前為止幾乎維持每日更新的頻率。帖子的主題是與亞洲國家相關的歷史上的這一天;在10月、11月間會偶爾發佈鼓勵參與的帖子。
- 除了少數系統限制的情況,大多數臉書的帖子都同步發佈於Instagram。
- 維基部分,我們申請了CentralNotice的橫幅在賽事期間播放;以及使用massmessage提醒過往的組織者再次加入支持社群。
- Promoting
- We made the fans page on Facebook active again on 6 October 2021, and keep almost a new post a day till today. The main theme of these posts is about the day in history of Asian countries. Some posts that encourage people to participate the competition were also posted during October and November.
- Most Facebook posts were published to Instagram synchronously, unless some system-limited situation.
- On Wikimedia platform, we applied CentralNotice banner to promote the program during the competition time; and reminded passed organizers to support us again via massmessage system.

Please use the below sections to describe what is working and what you plan to change for the second half of your project.
What are the challenges
[edit]What challenges or obstacles have you encountered? What will you do differently going forward? Please list these as short bullet points.
- 亞洲月已經成立了用戶組,在預備以新的身份持續這個活動時,今年有兩個情況讓我們感覺到擔憂,同時也在思考未來如何處理:
- 我們期待有兩個維基導遊社群加入,但是沒有獲得回應。也許針對導遊社群另外安排一個徵件時間,維基社群比較知道導遊計劃也是被邀請的目標,而不是只注意到維基百科。
- 疫情導致一些社群活躍度下降,也退出了我們的活動。這需要用戶組更積極地聯繫,鼓勵他們重新活躍。
- Wikipedia Asian Month has established an User Group. For preparing to continue the program in a new role, there are two points worried us and need to be thought about how to solve it in the future:
- We planed 2 communities of Wikivoyage participating but got no replying. Maybe we should plan a different competition time for Wikivoyage, than they will noticed that they are also invited, and the WAM team not focus Wikipedia only.
- Some communities became inactive and left our program. The user group should contact communities more positively, to encourage them be active again.
What is working well
[edit]What have you found works best so far? To help spread successful strategies so that they can be of use to others in the movement, rather than writing lots of text here, we'd like you to share your finding in the form of a link to a learning pattern.
- Hiring a Program Coordinator:今年團隊有遇到人力問題,雇用經驗應該有幫助。
- Slow and spacious: feminist practices of care during Covid-19:一篇關於如何因應受疫情影響社群的好分享。
- Hiring a Program Coordinator:As we facing the manpower problem this year, the experience of hiring can be helpful.
- Slow and spacious: feminist practices of care during Covid-19:A good sharing about how to support communities which were impacted by the Covid-19 global pandemic.
Next steps and opportunities
[edit]What are the next steps and opportunities you’ll be focusing on for the second half of your project? Please list these as short bullet points.
- 完成評選與獎勵發送的工作。
- 完成及發佈針對社群組織者及參與者的調查。
- 如果可能,還是找到兩個維基導遊社群舉辦額外但符合亞洲月目標的活動。
- Finish the work of reviewing and awarding.
- Finish and publish a survey for community's organizers and participants.
- If it's possible, found 2 Wikivoyage communities to hold some additional events that matches the goal of Wikipedia Asian Month.
Grantee reflection
[edit]We’d love to hear any thoughts you have on how the experience of being an grantee has been so far. What is one thing that surprised you, or that you particularly enjoyed from the past 3 months?
對於亞洲月團隊來說這是第一次以project grant的方式取得資金,選由WMTW協助做為贈款人。雖然立云在2021年底以前同時身為計劃主持人與WMTW理事會成員,但兩組織原本是各自獨立運行,台灣分會僅協助亞洲月活動在地方的推廣。後來雙方都在亞洲月團隊人力吃緊、需要協助完成報告的情況下,發現分會可以在本計劃中有更深度的參與。我們也會依據這樣的經驗思考未來與亞洲其他自治體組織的合作方式。
For the Wikipedia Asian Month team, this is the first time to obtain funds via project grant with WMTW as fiscal sponsorship. Though Li-Yun Lin is both the grantee of WAM and board member of WMTW till the end of 2021, but the two organizes worked independent, WMTW only support the local promotion of Wikipedia Asian Month. However, we both found that the chapter could have a deeper involvement in this plan when WAM team was under manpower and needed assistance in completing the report. Based on this experience, we will also think about ways to cooperate with other Asian self-government organizations in the future.
