Grants talk:Project/Rapid/Jwale2/Ghanaian Movies Goes Wiki

Hello Jwale2 thank you for your proposal request to add content about Ghanian movies. In reading your proposal I wanted to learn more about the pre-event training your team would like to do with newbies. It's not quite clear where the trainings for the newbies will be taking place. It also seems possible that you can add content on these thematic belts without traveling to the different areas, please let me know if I'm misunderstanding your proposal.

• Would it be possible to do a series of editathons in your current location before taking it on the road? Thus, scaling back the proposal.
• Can you describe in more detail how you plan to train newbies? For example, how many experienced wikimedians you have and how you hope to maintain engagement after the editathon?

Please let us know your answers to these questions and we can proceed with next steps. Best regards, WJifar (WMF) (talk) 20:52, 13 December 2017 (UTC)

ANSWERS

SOUTHERN BELT

• The pre-event training in the Southern Belt venue would be organized at AITI Case or hub Accra or Ispace.
• The middle belt would be organized at the Kumasi hub.
• And in the northern belt the event would be organized either in Tamale University or a hub in Tamale.

The event can’t be organized by organizing a series editathon in one thermatic area. Thermatic area in this project are various region that have been grouped as one in other for trainees from all other region around the country to benefit and also meet one of the object of Wikipedia thus everyone can edit so we as a team would not want to focus on one region but rather focus on others as well of which is very key and important.

The number of experience Wikipedians for the event are three (3) Jwale2, Enoch, Myraclara. There would be other experience Wikimedian who would be invited to the event as guest to also train the trainees and they are Flixtey and Rberchie who would also contribute their quota to event and also volunteer who would be part of team are Sampela1 and Leoney. The first training event would be in Accra and would start on Saturday(10th February,2018-17th February,2017),some edits would be done on Saturday through to Sunday before going to other region or thematic areas with the same format.

THE FORMAT FOR THE EVENT

• Training begins by me training them on how to edit articles, the key focus would be on movies and tv series and also introducing them to the policies of wikipedia and also some new advance of wikipedia like kiwix, wikizero and more

• Enock4seth would also present something on Wikimedia Commons.

• Myracla would be looking at how Wikipedia makes impact.

• Then next week Saturday flixtey and Rbeachie would also give their presentation on Wikipedia and it sister project and the opportunity its provides to make a difference, then I come in to continue editing the movie article I told you so and other movie edits. This would be made possible by watching the movie and getting a clear cut understanding.

• The rest of the week in the month of February we would be engaging them on various movie edits.

The other thermatic areas would also follow the same format as the first

THE MIDDLE BELT

The Middle Belt starts in the first week of March where much more content would be created on movie. The team would be going to Kumasi, where we can find more rich content of movies available, because it’s described as a basket of movie making in Ghana of late. Around this period is where Ghana would be having their independence celebration and I believe during these period we would get more content to provide on Wikipedia as in movies and tv series. When we are than with the training we would be editing one of the famous tricksters movies thus local people like to watch thus Kwaku Ananse.

THE NORTHERN BELT

The Northern Belt starts at the ending of March with following the same format which is dubbed the northern moments, we would be looking at northern movies in perspective

The team fills that the budget presented is ok for the up and coming proposed event Ghanaian Movies Goes Wiki if the Rapid grant team wants us to make any adjustment to the budget proposed we will gladly oblige (Jwale2 (talk) 11:02, 19 December 2017 (UTC))
