subtitle-840-3770-1	"Feedback on assignment number six."
subtitle-3780-8850-2	"The assignment about Partnership Value Proposal the PVP."
subtitle-11560-14140-3	"Beyond the general comments."
subtitle-14140-18680-4	"Here are some examples, from past learners."
subtitle-19370-27500-5	"Here's an example of a PVP, a Partnership Value Proposal: "to help preserve and promote"
subtitle-27500-33800-6	"Examplian built heritage values, and allow people to access free knowledge about such"
subtitle-33800-39950-7	"heritage, while enriching Wikimedia content" – we have two goals here: Preserve and"
subtitle-39950-44120-8	"promote heritage values, and enriching Wikimedia content."
subtitle-44120-47080-9	"So we've already expressed two benefits."
subtitle-47080-53420-10	"– "Wikimedia Examplia would provide at no cost assistance to upload, categorize, and"
subtitle-53420-58130-11	"place images and articles provided by partner under a Creative Commons Attribution"
subtitle-58130-59620-12	"Share-Alike license."
subtitle-59620-65540-13	"Wikimedia Examplia will also organize an article writing and improving contest about"
subtitle-65540-70670-14	"heritage buildings managed or renovated by partner to supply more information to the"
subtitle-70670-76250-15	"general public, while partner would provide related information about the renovation"
subtitle-76250-84490-16	"process in data or text to be used as sources for the article in question." So it's"
subtitle-84490-87670-17	"a long paragraph, but it hits everything we need."
subtitle-88450-95830-18	"It expresses the value of the proposed partnership in terms of what each partner"
subtitle-95830-101110-19	"would do, invest, and also the benefit to each partner."
subtitle-101530-104710-20	"So this is a good Partnership Value Proposal."
subtitle-106990-114580-21	"Here are a couple of other examples, and this one demonstrates the difference between"
subtitle-114790-122560-22	"our private research findings that we discussed in a previous section and the"
subtitle-122560-127660-23	"Partnership Value Proposal that we actually express to the partner."
subtitle-127900-135160-24	"Remember that previously we've seen this example of a nonprofit that is Christian."
subtitle-135360-142360-25	"It's an ecological conservation nonprofit, but its first foremost value is that they are"
subtitle-142360-148090-26	"Christians and they believe that this conservation work is part of their religious"
subtitle-148090-150160-27	"duty and their worship."
subtitle-151720-157060-28	"So remember I said that this was an important thing to note in our research"
subtitle-157060-160330-29	"findings. It's an important thing to understand about the partner."
subtitle-160360-166840-30	"However, the learner that submitted this partnership proposal, let's read it: "We will"
subtitle-166840-174160-31	"train the partner on how to digitize the ecological system created by God through"
subtitle-174160-178630-32	"certain activities. When this is done, volunteers or community members would acquire"
subtitle-178630-185140-33	"the necessary skills to increase visibility of God's given ecology through advocacy on"
subtitle-185140-194960-34	"Wikipedia and its sister projects." So, I did tell you to use your partner's language"
subtitle-195410-199820-35	"to address your partner's priorities, etc.."
subtitle-200480-206490-36	"However, this partnership proposal is problematic."
subtitle-207210-208560-37	"Why is it problematic?"
subtitle-209040-213390-38	"I'm inviting you to ask yourselves in this box on the right."
subtitle-213810-218340-39	"What does this imply about you, when you tell your partner we will teach you how to"
subtitle-218340-221520-40	"increase the visibility of God's given ecology, etc.."
subtitle-222350-232100-41	"You are implying that you are on board with their Christian perspective on their work,"
subtitle-232100-234110-42	"which is fine. And maybe you are."
subtitle-235150-238960-43	"But it implies that your entire group is."
subtitle-239840-241880-44	"And that may not be the case."
subtitle-241880-245540-45	"And even if it is the case today, it may not be the case tomorrow."
subtitle-245630-251480-46	"Maybe some people join you and they don't share this particular Christian view."
subtitle-252440-260660-47	"And even more importantly, it implies this text implies that Wikipedia as a whole shares"
subtitle-260660-263420-48	"this view or even tolerates this view."
subtitle-263540-265400-49	"And that is not the case."
subtitle-266090-270940-50	"You would not be able to make such a statement stick on Wikipedia."
subtitle-271760-279650-51	"Wikipedia deals in facts and is neutral about faith, but it declines to describe"
subtitle-280100-283610-52	"factual matters in faith-based terms."
subtitle-284720-293060-53	"And so at most, Wikipedia will represent the fact that certain people or certain groups"
subtitle-293060-294860-54	"hold certain views."
subtitle-295100-302570-55	"But it would not describe the actual world, the actual ecological system in faith-based"
subtitle-302570-305450-56	"terms as facts."
subtitle-305780-310430-57	"Only as attributed beliefs to certain individuals or groups."
subtitle-310430-319130-58	"And so, creating this Partnership Value Proposal sets our partner up for failure, or"
subtitle-319130-324620-59	"for a misunderstanding, or for a nasty encounter with Wikipedia norms."
subtitle-324830-331640-60	"Because if they were to try to develop content on Wikipedia or even on Commons"
subtitle-332450-337160-61	"through this lens, they would meet resistance and they would be reverted, etc.."
subtitle-338330-345350-62	"So this is an example of how, even though our research finding should indeed have"
subtitle-346700-352490-63	"expressed very prominently, this organization is Christian, that's what"
subtitle-352490-353770-64	"matters to them, etc."
subtitle-353780-362420-65	"That's great. But if we are to partner with this organization, we have to find an"
subtitle-362420-369080-66	"overlap, an area where our goals, that are different, their goals are faith-based, their"
subtitle-369080-372680-67	"goals are to increase visibility of God's given ecology, etc."
subtitle-372860-379130-68	"and our goals are different, they are to collect neutral factual content and images,"
subtitle-379130-385940-69	"etc. If we can find the narrow overlap that is possible between these goals – and there"
subtitle-385940-387110-70	"is such an overlap."
subtitle-387110-394550-71	"For example, maybe this group does work in an area geographically that is under-covered"
subtitle-394550-399860-72	"on Commons and they can just take pictures of nature, of their conservation efforts,"
subtitle-400640-402410-73	"that we could use on Commons."
subtitle-402410-407990-74	"And it doesn't matter that they did this, from their perspective, as part of their"
subtitle-408560-410270-75	"faith, as part of their worship."
subtitle-410270-415580-76	"Doesn't matter. The images are perfectly usable for our encyclopedic needs."
subtitle-416270-423260-77	"So we can find a way to align our interests and our goals, at least in some narrow"
subtitle-423260-432230-78	"overlap. But something like this, like signing on to their faith-based view as a"
subtitle-432230-434360-79	"Wikimedia group, as distinct from as individuals."
subtitle-435290-440690-80	"I mean, you as an individual Wikipedian can certainly be a member of this of this group"
subtitle-440690-445640-81	"and share completely in their work, including their view of this work."
subtitle-446060-453710-82	"But as a Wikimedia organization, we would do well to be careful to create the partnership"
subtitle-453710-458750-83	"on a basis that's actually acceptable to Wikimedia as a whole."
subtitle-458750-461960-84	"And remember that, to your partner, you are Wikipedia."
subtitle-462830-467690-85	"They don't know, statistically, they probably don't know other Wikipedians."
subtitle-467690-472430-86	"From their perspective, you are Wikipedia, you speak for Wikipedia, even though we know"
subtitle-472430-473590-87	"that's not true."
subtitle-473590-481340-88	"And we need to give our partner the benefit of the best advice about Wikimedia and"
subtitle-481340-488450-89	"Wikipedia. The best advice about how to do well, how to succeed in contributing content"
subtitle-488450-490580-90	"and value to Wikipedia."
subtitle-490580-495290-91	"So this is not a good example of a Partnership Value Proposal."
subtitle-495290-505250-92	"It certainly discusses benefits, but it actually crosses a line in how much"
subtitle-505250-507620-93	"it identifies with the partner."
subtitle-508550-512570-94	"To the point that it is making promises that it cannot keep."
subtitle-513630-518170-95	"That's the problem. So I wanted to use this opportunity."
subtitle-518890-520750-96	"I had this example come up."
subtitle-521140-524920-97	"Use this opportunity to also give you a negative example."
subtitle-526030-531980-98	"The second example on this page, completely different PVP, of course."
subtitle-531980-536160-99	"Here it's a partner that is interested in Romanesque art."
subtitle-536170-542020-100	"So the PVP is "to disseminate and offer society better information about Romanesque"
subtitle-542020-544800-101	"art in the province of whatever."
subtitle-544800-548770-102	"Wikimedia Examplia would provide training and coordination for people interested in"
subtitle-548770-551620-103	"collaborating in the improvement of Wikipedia content."
subtitle-551950-558550-104	"And the Partner Foundation would provide venues for training sessions, heritage images"
subtitle-558550-567310-105	"and publicity." The benefit to the partner is not quite stated here explicitly, but"
subtitle-567580-574060-106	"ostensibly that foundation is interested in the improvement of Wikipedia content about"
subtitle-574060-577150-107	"Romanesque art, and so that's the benefit to them as well."
subtitle-578240-583250-108	"And of course we Wikimedia are interested in improving content about Romanesque art, just"
subtitle-583250-586940-109	"as we are interested in improving content about snails or airplanes."
subtitle-587150-588470-110	"We're interested in improving all the content."
subtitle-588920-592280-111	"So absolutely a benefit to us as well."
subtitle-593150-599960-112	"The third example here, "library will tie up with the Wikimedia Foundation to access the"
subtitle-599960-602090-113	"vast repository of knowledge."
subtitle-602210-609590-114	"The Foundation will hold frequent workshops." This is not a good Partnership Value Proposal"
subtitle-609860-613760-115	"because it is far too vague, and also incorrect."
subtitle-616460-620090-116	"This person who wrote this, the learner who wrote this, is representing a particular"
subtitle-620090-626120-117	"group. They are not representing the Wikimedia Foundation, and we must not mislead"
subtitle-626150-630530-118	"our prospective partners to think that they would be partnering with the Wikimedia"
subtitle-630530-635360-119	"Foundation, when in fact they will be partnering with our little user group or our"
subtitle-635360-637730-120	"big chapter, but not the Wikimedia Foundation."
subtitle-638720-642800-121	"Only the Wikimedia Foundation, people who actually work for the Wikimedia Foundation,"
subtitle-643580-646310-122	"can commit the Wikimedia Foundation to a partnership."
subtitle-647510-649610-123	"So that's the point."
subtitle-649610-653180-124	"I'm using this negative example to bring up that important point."
subtitle-653180-658400-125	"It's important to make sure your partner understands who you are, which is why we have"
subtitle-658400-661880-126	"self introductions and who they will be partnering with."
subtitle-661880-666110-127	"They're not partnering with the Wikimedia Foundation, nor are they partnering with"
subtitle-666110-670040-128	"Wikipedia. As we know, Wikipedia is a wiki site."
subtitle-670370-672050-129	"It cannot partner with anything."
subtitle-672350-676370-130	"They're partnering with you, with your group or affiliate or chapter, whether you are a"
subtitle-676370-677690-131	"legal entity or not."
subtitle-677690-679100-132	"They're partnering with you."
subtitle-685250-686870-133	"That's the other example here."
subtitle-687260-693860-134	"Here's another PVP "to help build more diverse, inclusive and plural online"
subtitle-693860-699410-135	"ecosystem and society, as well as enhance the content about minority groups on the"
subtitle-699410-702650-136	"Wikimedia platforms produced by minority groups."
subtitle-704180-711200-137	"The wiki group so-and-so would provide at no cost to the so-and-so Museum of Art, training"
subtitle-711200-716630-138	"for employees and register visitors, preferably from minority groups, interested"
subtitle-716630-721280-139	"in learning and improving Wikipedia articles as volunteers in a series of free training"
subtitle-721280-722410-140	"events, etc., etc."
subtitle-722450-726640-141	"focused on content about women, people of color and art."
subtitle-726650-731270-142	"The museum would provide the space, food, social media posts and equipment for the"
subtitle-731270-738320-143	"participants." So this is a good PVP; it lists benefits to the museum."
subtitle-738320-743300-144	"Presumably the museum cares about a more diverse, inclusive, and plural online"
subtitle-743300-744710-145	"ecosystem and society."
subtitle-744710-752450-146	"Presumably that's taken from somewhere in the museum's own goals or plans or mission"
subtitle-752720-756760-147	"and enhance the content about minority groups on the Wikimedia platforms."
subtitle-756770-759440-148	"That's, of course, something we care about."
subtitle-759440-765410-149	"And this group, this PVP also stresses "enhance the content about minority groups"
subtitle-765410-767570-150	"produced by minority groups"."
subtitle-767570-773750-151	"In other words, it seeks to address not just the content gap about minority groups, but"
subtitle-773750-776300-152	"also the participation gap."
subtitle-777080-779360-153	"The gap in who produces knowledge."
subtitle-779360-784160-154	"And we've already seen an example of this in an earlier section, where we said something"
subtitle-784160-789920-155	"like "most of the content about Examplia is not written by people from Examplia"."
subtitle-789920-790970-156	"Remember that example?"
subtitle-793320-799080-157	"And this PVP, of course, says very concretely what will happen, what each side"
subtitle-799080-804450-158	"will provide. The Wikimedia group will provide training and the museum will provide"
subtitle-804780-806910-159	"the space, the food facilities, equipment, etc.."
subtitle-807810-811380-160	"It's very clear and a good PVP."
