Comments from FDC staff[edit]

Dear Wikimedia Argentina Colleagues:

Thank you for submitting this complete report on time. This report includes a good level of detail as well as reflection, and we learned a lot about your progress from reading this report.

  • Congratulations on the new hires at WMAR! Welcome to Anna and Melina; we look forward to working together.
  • We look forward to learning more about the work of the Education coordinator, and how WMAR decides to focus its attention in the education sector. We also look forward to seeing more metrics shared in terms of your cultural and educational work next quarter.
  • We note that you are working to secure partnerships with new academic institutions. We’d love to learn more about the outcomes of this work in future reports.
  • We’re excited to see more about the partnership with the Unesco Argentina School Network, particularly since you are looking to target high school students and their participation on WikiVoyage, which is a new idea.
  • Based on your great results with similar activities last year, we’re following your work with the Buenos Aires City Legislature with interest.
  • Congratulations on your successful media campaign around Wikipedia’s birthday. We encourage you to submit a learning pattern if there are aspects of this success you think others would benefit from.
  • We appreciate that you are designing your new contests on the basis of what you have learned through implementing Wiki Loves Monuments. Using the lens of encouraging participants to “express their own view of culture” through these contests is a very interesting approach.
  • Thank you for sharing so many details about what worked well and what did not work well with respect to your first edit-a-thon. We appreciate that you are working to constantly refine this approach to achieve better results. If you have learning around these approaches to share with the broader movement, we encourage you to create some learning patterns related to edit-a-thons.

Thank you once again and best regards from FDC staff! Winifred Olliff (FDC Support Team) talk 23:14, 2 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
