What is the problem you're trying to solve?[edit]

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this project? This problem should be small enough that you expect it to be completely or mostly resolved by the end of this project. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

in Tuscany We have a gap between the results of Wiki Loves Monument and the coverage of certain topic on wikipedia. On example is this year winner WLM winner.

In addition to that, we have also a very fragmented presence in the local authorities that we are trying to strengthen. Most of our interaction level, activities in the libraries or museums and events for Open Street Map and Wiki Loves Monuments are quite disperse.

This grant is a way to get a complete deep-level coverage in one specific area to show around.

Since we are a tourist region, we want to propose an approach focused on many different platforms and also language edition.

The photo of Verrucole Castle the has positioned in fifth place worldwide in the wiki loves monuments 2017 competition. Despite this placement the article on Wikipedia is still very poor. There are many articles related to the fortress and the municipality that can be expanded. It is quite difficult to find the sources and therefore we need a local bibliography. The page about Verrucole Castle and on the town of San Romano Garfagnana on Wikivoyage is totally missing.

What is your solution?[edit]

For the problem you identified in the previous section, briefly describe your how you would like to address this problem. We recognize that there are many ways to solve a problem. We’d like to understand why you chose this particular solution, and why you think it is worth pursuing. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

Organize an editathon on the place with expert Wikipedians to consult the sources directly and consult local guides who can help you to fill in the articles.

Project goals[edit]

What are your goals for this project? Your goals should describe the top two or three benefits that will come out of your project. These should be benefits to the Wikimedia projects or Wikimedia communities. They should not be benefits to you individually. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.

Avere una voce su Wikipedia della fortezza delle verrucole degna di essere tra le 5 finaliste a WLM. Rendere quindi blu tutti i link e le voci correlate al monumento. Creare una guida su Wikivoyage. Altro scopo è dare valore al concorso al fine che nei prossimi anni sulla spinta dell'impatto che Wikimedia ha avuto su questo comune, possano anche altri aderire con più entusiasmo.

Project impact[edit]

How will you know if you have met your goals?[edit]

For each of your goals, we’d like you to answer the following questions:

  1. During your project, what will you do to achieve this goal? (These are your outputs.)
  2. Once your project is over, how will it continue to positively impact the Wikimedia community or projects? (These are your outcomes.)

For each of your answers, think about how you will capture this information. Will you capture it with a survey? With a story? Will you measure it with a number? Remember, if you plan to measure a number, you will need to set a numeric target in your proposal (e.g. 45 people, 10 articles, 100 scanned documents). Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.


I will use Dashboard tool to measure the editors number, the created and improved articles, the words added, the number of file uploaded in Commons. Of course, a survey at the end of the event is a good way to hear the participants opinion, to know what works and what we can do better the next time.

Do you have any goals around participation or content?[edit]

Are any of your goals related to increasing participation within the Wikimedia movement, or increasing/improving the content on Wikimedia projects? If so, we ask that you look through these three metrics, and include any that are relevant to your project. Please set a numeric target against the metrics, if applicable. Remember to review the tutorial for tips on how to answer this question.


Our first goal is to improve articles in various wiki projects connected to our territory, that can be replicated for any other place/theme. Starting from the monument that wins the 5th place in the international WLM contest, we aim to create the whole history around: 10 new articles in Wikipedia about aristocratic families and the place history (military architecture, taxes etc), 3 articles about other monuments to improve, 3 articles in WikiVoyage, articles in WikiBooks. In more than one language. Our estimate is 15 participants. We are also prepared to present the wiki projects to schools, teaching them about free knowledge, free licenses and how to contribute to Wikimedia projects.
