subtitle-1020-4470-1"So these were a few examples of the first kind of message, right?"
subtitle-4470-7200-2"The message that we intend to partner."
subtitle-7680-12300-3"And now some examples of the message that "okay, it's happening."
subtitle-12300-13940-4"We're going ahead."
subtitle-13950-22490-5"We are partnering with this partner." Here are some examples: "We would like to invite"
subtitle-22490-25330-6"you all to be involved." I've skipped a bit, yes?"
subtitle-26000-29390-7""You can find more information and opportunities here." Link to the project"
subtitle-29390-36560-8"page. "Specifically, we are looking for involvement from people who can: work with"
subtitle-36560-41630-9"Wikidata to identify gaps in information relating to specific designers, directors and"
subtitle-41630-46640-10"arts managers; Upload images in bulk to Wikimedia Commons and organize them"
subtitle-46640-51590-11"effectively; Help create a performing arts calendar for recurring event events in"
subtitle-51590-59690-12"Examplia to make keeping Wikimedia information current easier for us all; Attend"
subtitle-59690-64460-13"an editathon in this city in September; Attend an editathon in that city in November,"
subtitle-65210-70550-14"and work on specific events and overview pages, for example, Dance in Examplia,"
subtitle-70550-71930-15"Theatre in Examplia, etc.."
subtitle-72860-77510-16"We would also be keen to hear from any photographers out there who might be keen to"
subtitle-77510-84140-17"apply for a Wikimedia press pass to attend a major performing arts event to contribute new"
subtitle-84140-88220-18"images to Commons." So here's another opportunity that this partnership brings with"
subtitle-88220-91670-19"it. It's a very specific opportunity for a serious photographer."
subtitle-91670-95270-20"And if you're interested, here we are offering you this opportunity."
subtitle-95990-100760-21"And now that we're actually going ahead with the project, notice the part in yellow"
subtitle-101060-104150-22"describing how we're going to track and measure this."
subtitle-104330-108770-23""We will measure the success of our project by the number of new pages created, images"
subtitle-108770-113090-24"uploaded, pages improved, and through the creation of a calendar to assist ongoing"
subtitle-113090-116410-25"efforts of editing on the performing arts."
subtitle-116420-123420-26"You can see our specific measures on the project page here linked." Another example:"
subtitle-124080-129120-27""Hello. I'm happy to announce that we have agreed to cooperate with the ethnographic"
subtitle-129120-135180-28"Open Air Museum of Somewhere for a series of workshops, small image donations and some"
subtitle-135180-139680-29"additional activities I did not mention in the original post three weeks ago."
subtitle-140250-144900-30"We will start with a workshop at their premises on this particular date and another"
subtitle-144900-145910-31"one on that date."
subtitle-145920-150420-32"I and some other person will be there, but we need one more person to help with the"
subtitle-150420-156210-33"training." Again, a very concrete request right there is this date and that date and"
subtitle-156210-159720-34"there's two of us and we need a third person to help with the training."
subtitle-160770-165090-35""There will be a quality-based article contest with some small prizes during the"
subtitle-165090-169570-36"month of June. We will work with the museum to compile a list of needed topics."
subtitle-169590-174150-37"Add your suggestions on this page." I'm already inviting you to be part of the"
subtitle-174150-176730-38"compilation of needed topics."

subtitle-181890-186870-40"involved. "The museum will provide free entry for Wikimedia photographers to the arts"
subtitle-186870-188100-41"and crafts market."
subtitle-188130-189220-42"That's the biggest event."
subtitle-189240-191280-43"Please send me a message to be registered."
subtitle-191790-194330-44"Also ping to a specific user."
subtitle-194340-198390-45"We will need your input about the image donation process and tools to use."
subtitle-198390-203250-46"Help will be needed to add these images to articles, improve categorization."
subtitle-204330-208920-47"Also, is there anyone willing to help with our press releases after the milestones, and"
subtitle-208920-214860-48"social media content?" So I'm giving you a whole menu of ways to help and get involved"
subtitle-214860-220350-49"as I'm informing you that we are going ahead, with this partnership that I have"
subtitle-220350-225150-50"already told you about in the original post three weeks ago, "and for any further"
subtitle-225150-226870-51"information, see the project page"."
subtitle-226900-233830-52"This is a good, focused, concise, very substantive message about going ahead."
subtitle-233850-236130-53"Here are the current needs and opportunities."
subtitle-242200-244720-54"Another example: "Hello everyone."
subtitle-244720-246370-55"We have great news to announce."
subtitle-246370-250540-56"The so and so foundation has agreed to collaborate with Wikimedia whatever."
subtitle-250540-253300-57"So we are going to detail the next steps."
subtitle-253300-255550-58"The collaboration will last for six months."
subtitle-255550-260260-59"In the first month there will be three training sessions for the partners staff.""
subtitle-260680-264340-60"(It's not the Wikimedia Foundation.) "So that they can learn how to use Commons and"
subtitle-264340-265990-61"share images from their collection."
subtitle-266320-270220-62"During the following five months, three training sessions per month will be held for"
subtitle-270220-274090-63"interested people to acquire and improve their Wikipedia editing skills."
subtitle-274270-278650-64"The expected outcomes are at least 50 volunteers, of which blah blah blah, at least"
subtitle-278650-280210-65"100 articles created."
subtitle-280780-285310-66"We expect the foundation -- the partner -- to upload at least 200 images, etc., etc."
subtitle-285340-290590-67"For the good development of the project, we would need one more, one or more volunteers"
subtitle-290590-295720-68"to review the uploaded images to check that their description, category or license are"
subtitle-295720-300970-69"adequate. Likewise, we would need one or more people to review the new articles that"
subtitle-300970-305740-70"are published to warn us in case they present any problem and can be exposed in the"
subtitle-305740-311560-71"following sessions." I guess something like reviewed in the following sessions."
subtitle-312470-319010-72"(Many of these, of course, are not by native English speakers.) Another example "Technical"
subtitle-319010-325730-73"training on Mediawiki Development: User ABC User So-and-so will take the first day"
subtitle-325730-331220-74"introduction to Mediawiki session and user XYZ will help second day in conducting"
subtitle-331220-336080-75"workshop. We will record these sessions and make them available on Commons so that others"
subtitle-336080-337340-76"can also benefit."
subtitle-337490-342020-77"We have restricted this training for ten participants only so that we can deliver them"
subtitle-342020-343910-78"a quality learning experience."
subtitle-343910-349610-79"We hope at least 20% retain and contribute in wiki project, and within the next two"
subtitle-349610-352910-80"months of training they will be able to contribute at least two gadgets or user"
subtitle-353000-355790-81"scripts." This is a technical partnership."
subtitle-355970-360530-82""We would be needing some volunteers to help us design the flow of these training series"
subtitle-360530-362420-83"and to make it more interactive."
subtitle-362930-368630-84"It would be great if someone could volunteer to help mentoring, doubt solving." (that's"
subtitle-368930-373370-85"answering questions.) "of trainees during or after the workshop."
subtitle-373370-377690-86"Those who can help us in handling our social media channels to promote our activities are"
subtitle-377690-381350-87"requested to please sign up here." So it's not shaped as a list."
subtitle-381350-387050-88"But there is a list here of several needs, several ways you can help the partnership."
subtitle-389520-392190-89"And finally, here is this message."
subtitle-392190-396980-90"This is the again, the national heritage castles partnership."
subtitle-396990-401730-91"And you can see that again, it's a very structured message: "I'm pleased to announce"
subtitle-401730-405660-92"that we have signed a partnership in agreement with the national heritage partner,"
subtitle-405660-409850-93"which means we can launch our previously planned events as below."
subtitle-409860-413550-94"You can also find a detailed description at the project page with a link."
subtitle-414140-416360-95"First the article writing contest."
subtitle-416450-422240-96"The goal of the contest is to improve all articles in this category and that category,""
subtitle-422450-426650-97"So we're getting right to the substance of what needs to be done."
subtitle-426650-428270-98"And here are the categories and here are the articles."
subtitle-429620-433910-99""The partner will assist with providing documentation and data about these castles"
subtitle-433910-436150-100"which can be accessed through this link."
subtitle-436160-438200-101"You need to properly cite these sources."
subtitle-438200-440720-102"Additional sources are strongly advised, blah blah blah."
subtitle-441020-443180-103"All articles should have a Wikidata entry."
subtitle-443180-445940-104"We're aiming to have at least one good or featured article."
subtitle-445940-448040-105"Beginner participants are welcome too."
subtitle-448070-453080-106"We're happy to mentor you in your editing journey." Notice this: We're explicitly"
subtitle-453080-457430-107"inviting newbies who are already in the community seeing this message."
subtitle-457430-463490-108"Maybe they are secretly self selecting themselves out, saying, "Oh, this sounds,"
subtitle-463940-466010-109"maybe it's for the veterans."
subtitle-466010-470750-110"It's probably not for new people like us." So no, I'm telling you, beginner participants"
subtitle-470750-474710-111"are welcome and we will mentor you through it if you want to help with this contest."
subtitle-475790-478280-112""All articles should conform to all the rules, of course."
subtitle-478280-483850-113"And the submission timeline is this deadline." Next."
subtitle-483850-486120-114"That was the article contest."
subtitle-486120-491290-115""Photo walks: The partner agreed to provide a castle card to a maximum of ten volunteers"
subtitle-491290-493300-116"who can use it to take free license photos, etc."
subtitle-493960-495280-117"Please sign up below."
subtitle-495760-501460-118"The cards will be provided on a first come first served basis so whoever whoever signs"
subtitle-501460-502570-119"up will get cards."
subtitle-504360-509970-120"If you need financial support to travel, please visit our chapter page to apply for a"
subtitle-509970-515250-121"travel expense reimbursement." Again, very clear instructions on how to get involved."
subtitle-516090-520590-122"In this case, you even have expense reimbursement and this is the timeline that"
subtitle-520590-521880-123"it will take place in."
subtitle-521970-527410-124""Please categorize your images as best you can or ask for assistance on the Project Talk"
subtitle-527430-531720-125"page." So you notice there's a lot of information here on what you should do and"
subtitle-531720-533250-126"where you can get help."
subtitle-535450-539080-127"Then after the photo walk, we have photo organization work."
subtitle-539500-542170-128""The partner will be donating 1000 images."
subtitle-542260-544170-129"Among them rare historical photos."
subtitle-544170-549100-130"There will be a mass upload that will be done by us, by the chapter coordinated by this"
subtitle-549100-554200-131"user. And then we would need at least five volunteers who would help to organize the"
subtitle-554200-556810-132"images during the month of September."
subtitle-556840-563170-133"The task will be split as explained below" and there's a place to sign up, etc.."
subtitle-564100-569380-134"And finally, "the contest prizes are as follows", There would be this prize and that"
subtitle-569380-570700-135"prize and this prize."
subtitle-570700-574960-136"Wikimedians participating will receive a chapter gift package."
subtitle-575470-580030-137"Finally, "in case of any questions, please shoot an email to this address or drop a"
subtitle-580030-586240-138"message to the project coordinator at this user page." Again, a very structured, neat,"
subtitle-586600-588490-139"way to announce the partnership is happening."
subtitle-589060-593310-140"There are these different elements to the partnership or these different activities."
subtitle-593320-595600-141"Here's how to get involved in each of them."
subtitle-595630-601330-142"Here's how to get help. So these are good examples of communicating with the community"
subtitle-601340-607670-143"at both of these stages before we approach the partner, the prospective partner, and"
subtitle-607670-610100-144"once we have actually agreed on a partnership."
