subtitle-90-5700-1"Now for another theme in the final projects."
subtitle-6090-14400-2"Now some slides, some examples of the middle part of how we argue for the partnership, how"
subtitle-14400-19410-3"we express the idea that it is worth doing, that it will be impactful that there are"
subtitle-19410-21960-4"benefits to both partners."
subtitle-25440-32490-5"Here's a good slide: "Why would it be beneficial for us to collaborate?" Literally"
subtitle-32490-36510-6"naming the question that may be on the partner's mind!"
subtitle-36690-39330-7"Let's name it, and let's try to answer it."
subtitle-39990-45350-8""Thanks to our collaboration, we could achieve a greater dissemination of this topic"
subtitle-45360-47310-9"you care about on Wikipedia."
subtitle-47790-51840-10"That would help to promote the revitalization of the territory in which it"
subtitle-51840-57780-11"is located, as well as quality and diversified content and new Wikipedia"
subtitle-57780-63330-12"editors". New Wikipedia editors, of course, being the benefit to us, in the Wikimedia"
subtitle-63330-70770-13"movement. So as you can see, kind of an expression of the mutual benefit part of the"
subtitle-70770-77250-14"PVP. A slide that literally says, this is the win for you; this is the win for us."
subtitle-77460-79650-15"What is the benefit for both sides?"
subtitle-79680-88780-16"Good slide. And then the second part of the PVP, what we put in: "Wikimedia would provide"
subtitle-88780-90730-17"training and coordination, etc., etc."
subtitle-90730-92680-18"The partner would provide venues."
subtitle-92830-97390-19"We already partnered with..." This is the final part of the pitch."
subtitle-97870-99580-20"The persuasive part."
subtitle-99610-105340-21""We already partnered with the so and so institute and several state museums such as"
subtitle-105350-111490-22"this or that, through which images were uploaded and used in a multitude of Wikipedia"
subtitle-111490-114750-23"articles in different languages, improving the quality, etc..""
subtitle-115120-119020-24"That's the end of the elevator pitch of the short pitch."
subtitle-121200-122760-25"Here's another example."
subtitle-122760-127740-26"This one is again from the built heritage example."
subtitle-129600-132180-27"Making the point that "articles are important"."
subtitle-133890-135570-28"We've seen this idea already."
subtitle-135570-137070-29"We don't need to go into the details here."
subtitle-137070-138810-30"But again, Wikipedia is large."
subtitle-138810-148170-31"Wikipedia ranks high in search engines, and therefore it is in your interest that these"
subtitle-148170-152640-32"castles, these properties are well represented on Wikipedia because it is the"
subtitle-152640-154980-33"first stop for people looking for information."
subtitle-156090-161100-34"If the articles are good quality with good quality photos, people are more likely to be"
subtitle-161100-162870-35"interested in visiting the place."
subtitle-164330-165920-36"So that's a good slide."
subtitle-166460-174350-37"And this is also a good slide emphasizing for the partner why we want them as a"
subtitle-174350-179750-38"partner, why we need them as a partner, why we cannot just improve the articles on our"
subtitle-179750-182930-39"own. And of course, we can improve them to some degree."
subtitle-182930-184640-40"But here's why we're here."
subtitle-184670-187120-41"We're coming to partner with you."
subtitle-187120-191840-42"For instance, in this case, because there are photos only you have."
subtitle-192620-199700-43"High quality photos are important, and you have unique photos of how the restoration was"
subtitle-199700-201470-44"done of the castle."
subtitle-201500-206180-45"Nobody else can offer those photos because only you were there."
subtitle-206780-208150-46"It was closed for visitors."
subtitle-208160-214490-47"Only you could take those highly technical photos of the renovation and restoration"
subtitle-214490-217220-48"process. And those are the photos we want."
subtitle-220250-224030-49"And images can be used across wikis and across languages, etc., etc.."
subtitle-224030-229580-50"And we have a lot of examples, where we have already done this sort of thing, and we have"
subtitle-229580-234770-51"them from the British Library and the National Museum in all kinds of scales."
subtitle-234770-241310-52"You remember, that's a point we've already seen in a previous version of this slide."
subtitle-241550-247550-53"And of course, we demonstrate this with some specific statistics, that I've removed here."
subtitle-250170-254790-54"And here is again that table about the different castles and their state."
subtitle-254790-256770-55"We've seen this already in a previous section."
subtitle-258000-264090-56"So I'm showing you this is the state of the content about things you care about, about"
subtitle-264090-267210-57"those castles in our version of Wikipedia."
subtitle-267210-273840-58"And I'm helping you get a picture of how much we could improve things, if we partner."
subtitle-276930-282810-59"Moving on to a different example: Again, the slide from the Programs and Events Dashboard."
subtitle-282810-284310-60"We've encountered this in a previous section."
subtitle-285090-289290-61"These numbers are impressive, just showing impressive numbers."
subtitle-290840-300650-62"226 million words added, in 171 different programs, all run"
subtitle-300650-303130-63"by this user group that we speak for."
subtitle-303410-309320-64"So think about it: You're partnering with a group that is responsible for 170 different"
subtitle-309320-316480-65"programs that have together generated 226 million words on Wikipedia."
subtitle-316490-318500-66"That's amazing. That's a great number."
subtitle-318500-322580-67"And we have involved 6000 volunteer editors."
subtitle-322580-325130-68"These are great numbers, etc., etc.."
subtitle-325140-329660-69"I'm not going to go through all the numbers and we've discussed the importance of these"
subtitle-329660-332240-70"impressive statistics before."
subtitle-335480-340250-71"Another example of arguing for the partnership, which we remember from our"
subtitle-340250-342800-72"preparation. This is the stories."
subtitle-343040-345380-73"This is from our evidence toolkit."
subtitle-345500-347600-74"You remember that assignment, the evidence toolkit."
subtitle-348560-350990-75"Here we have a testimonial."
subtitle-351290-356900-76"Some statement from the deputy director of the National Archeological Museum."
subtitle-357140-358850-77"And what does this person say?"
subtitle-359300-364310-78""Wikipedia carries enormous weight in the digital environment, and the information it"
subtitle-364310-366770-79"offers is widely consulted"."
subtitle-367160-368450-80"And who says that?"
subtitle-368810-371690-81"You know, a traditional source of authority!"
subtitle-371720-373820-82"National Archeological Museum."
subtitle-373820-381200-83"The traditional authority is recognizing that the untraditional authority of Wikipedia"
subtitle-381200-384410-84"has importance and impact."
subtitle-384410-385970-85"It is widely consulted."
subtitle-386420-390740-86""We are interested in disseminating not only the knowledge directly related to the"
subtitle-390740-395870-87"institution itself, but also about our thematic area, archeology"."
subtitle-396200-400460-88"So they're not just interested in the article about their national museum being"
subtitle-400460-405470-89"improved. They're interested in improving articles about their material, what they deal"
subtitle-405470-406940-90"with, which is archeology."
subtitle-407980-414610-91"So that's a nice testimonial that we can bring if we're talking to another museum or"
subtitle-414850-418990-92"another institution in the field of archeology, maybe."
subtitle-419440-421990-93"And there's a photo here of this person that I've removed."
subtitle-421990-422650-94"Of course."
