Activities

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? I plan to do this project for two days, I will invite existing editors and order people to teach them how to create and improve articles of women

2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

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. Through social media platform; Whatsapp and Facebook

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead/assist the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals. (NOTE: all experienced Wikimedia editors MUST endorse and sign your proposal as proof of availability)
For example: User:Kaizenify Yes I have user:Sauderh2 and user:jidderh are all experience editors therefore, they will help in carrying out this project.

5. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them? Yes most participants are experience while others will need guidance and training.

6. How will you engage participants after the event(s)? participants will be engaged through mentorship and guidance on how they keep editing till become experience editors.

7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project? This project is a solution to the constant lost of women editors in Hausa projects as they are going to be guided and supported to actively participate and this will help increase women participation and inclusivity to Wikimedia projects as well as motivate other local women to contributing to open source projects
