Grants:Wikimedia UG Nigeria Grants/Wikimedia User Group Nigeria Community Support Fund/Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2023 At Imo State Network

Project summary

Briefly summarize your project proposal.

• Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photo at Wikimedia Nigeria Imo State Network rallies the Imo State community to participate in the global annual campaign to add photos to articles lacking images. This is to promote the use of digital media files collected from various WP photography contests, organized by the Wikimedia community on Wikipedia article pages. Without photos some articles might not be able to communicate the right information to the readers. Photos improve readers' experience, illustrate content, and make articles engaging. The campaign would also help sharpen the skills of new and existing editors.
