Project Plan

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? I'll be carrying out a photo-walk and a photo upload session.

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.

I have notified the Wikimedia Nigeria community talk group about the proposed event.

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. I'll create a whatsapp community group for the participating photographers and editors.

4. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event? Please provide links to the usernames of these individuals.
For example: User:Kaizenify I'll be leading the group of photographers, to be assisted by @MediaMOF as a photographer and editor.

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

All participants are established photographers and therefore, have professional cameras.

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

Subsequent updates about the Wikipedia events will be communicated to the participants via the whatsapp group created.

7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

I believe that this is a project that will contribute immensely to free knowledge and also, encourage more photographers to start contributing to Wikimedia commons.

Metrics tracking

[edit]

How do you plan to track your project metrics? Photos will be uploaded under the category "Wiki Loves Earth 2023 Nigeria" for tracking. The outreach dashboard will monitor progress and impact, providing valuable insights and metrics. This tracking system optimizes outreach efforts and informs data-driven decisions.

Resources

[edit]

What resources do you have? Include information on who is organizing the project, what they will do, and if you will receive support from anywhere else (in-kind donations or additional funding).

I have unrestricted access to a group of photograghers who are readily available as valuable assets for the purpose of the event.
