Wikimedia MKD/Annual plan 2026
This is the annual plan of the activities of Wikimedia MKD for 2026.
Programmes
[edit]Education & Science
[edit]This programme means collaborations with educational and scientific institutions with the goal of promoting Wikipedia, getting students and academic staff involved in the Wikimedia movement, and producing open educational resources.
It is divided into two sub-programmes:
- Education (consists of the projects Teachers' conferences, Wiki Clubs, Editing contest for students, Wiki Camp, Workshops and Wikidata Workshop); and
- Science (consists of the project Wikiexperiments).
Education
[edit]This year we are going to continue with the activities with the underage students (secondary and high school) and teachers. We train and teach students how to edit Wikipedia, how to use Commons and how to contribute to the Wikipedia movement. We train teachers how to use Wikimedia projects as teaching tools, and sometimes if the teachers show interest in editing, we train them to edit Wikipedia. For teachers we organized a conferences. Students are educated mostly in the Wiki Clubs. We run Wiki Clubs in several cities in Macedonia, at the moment there are active Wiki Clubs in Skopje, Kumanovo, Demir Hisar, Veles, Ohrid and Shtip. Each club has an appointed coordinator. Almost all of the Wiki Clubs members are using Content Translation tool.
We organize four teachers' conferences yearly, and we plan to continue with that tempo: two in spring and two in autumn. Taking look at the past experience and success, we expect all conferences to be visited by at least 70 teachers which will be trained, theoretically and practically, on using Wikipedia in classroom and also editing and improving Wikipedia.
The strength of this project are Wikimedia MKD members, Wikimedians who are teachers at the same time. The big interest of teachers in Macedonia is giving us the strength also, as the great interest points that with such conferences we are on the right track to reach them. We teach the teachers on how to use Wikipedia in the classroom, and the opportunities are big for us: we can establish collaboration with the schools; we can start Wiki Club or Wiki section in their school; we can spread the word about Wikipedia, and involve the teachers and students into editing Wikipedia articles.
As a problem which may appear one day, we can list only the lack of our time to answer all interested schools. We have Education employee, and many volunteers who are happy to help organizing the conference. All the conferences are covered by the media.
Our strength in this project so far is the reputation of the Wiki Clubs. We have opportunity to educate many students about Wikipedia, and we hope that a good number of them will continue to edit Wikipedia. The first Wiki Club in Macedonia was establish in the Museum of Macedonian struggle in Skopje. First day of Wiki Club was 19th October 2016. At the international day of the Museums, 18 May 2017, the first Wiki Club in Macedonia received an award. It is a practice that on this day, once in a year, ICOM awards the best projects which are active in the Museums in Macedonia.
We run Wiki Clubs in several cities in Macedonia, at the moment there are 7 active Wiki Clubs in Skopje, Kumanovo, Demir Hisar, Veles, Radovish, Ohrid and Shtip, an there are 7 other Clubs which were active in the past, but not this days: Berovo, Struga, Gevgelija, Probishtip, Kocani, Negotino and Staro Nagoricane. Each club has an appointed coordinator. Almost all of the Wiki Clubs members are using Content Translation tool. We train students to create articles on Wikipedia, with total edits of over 2000 so far, and more than 1000 new created articles by Wiki Clubs members at the end of September 2025. The results could be found on Dashboard.
We organized several years in a row editing contest for high school students, and it was highly successful with over 100 created articles almost every time. Intended for persons from age 15 to 18, they are able to participate in a three weeks editing contest where they can create articles listed for creation. The topic for each editing contest is given in advance, and the awards are vouchers from technical shop or book store shop.
Good example is last year Editing contest, with the topic music, when 24 high school students participated in the competition and a total of 92 articles were published. The articles were reviewed by a jury, which was composed of three experienced Wikipedians. The jury made the final decision on the winners, after reviewing all the articles and scored each one individually with points from 1 to 10. Six prizes were given: for the three winners after the contest, and three awards for the each weekly winer.
Wiki Camp is a three-day camp for underage students and members of Wiki Clubs. We plan to organize one Wiki Camp for 35 Wiki Club active members and new participants, plus ~12 volunteers, teachers and Wikipedians. Adults have to be present in order to maintain the Wiki Camp. The first day, there is always a session for beginners on how to edit Wikipedia. All three days we will have edit-a-thons, workshops, one wiki expedition around the event place, workshop about Commons, etc. We already organized 6 Wiki Camps in a previous years.
Strength: Our big strength for this project are our volunteers, who are ready to participate in the organizing the Wiki Camp. We already have teachers ready to lead a group of students at the Wiki Camp, and also, the interest between the students is big for this kind of activity. The opportunity for us after this event is that we will be able to build connections between experienced and new participants, and also to engage new editors and future members of Wiki Clubs. The only problem we could faced with is not enough lap top computers for every student at the Wiki Camp. To avoid this, we plan to divide students into several groups while they will edit Wikipedia, using the available lap top computers.
Official page for the Wiki Camp: wikicamp.mk
Workshops are usually a few-hour event with Wiki Club's members. The Workshop start with a lecture on a specific topic, and then continue with editing Wikipedia articles on that same topic. Our students love these type of workshops, because they learn new information about the topic, make friends at the same time, and collaborate together while creating articles. Most often, we ask them to create a new article, rather than improving existing articles.
Including Wikidata Workshop as one of our Wikimedia projects for 2026 is an excellent way to expand the data-oriented platform such as Wikidata. The workshops we had in 2024 and 2025, started with a short introduction to Wikidata, explaining its significance as a free and collaborative knowledge base that can be edited by anyone. We plan for the workshop to have the same dynamics in 2026, and to continue with describing how data is organized in Wikidata; to conduct training lessons on how to add descriptions to Wikidata items.
Science
[edit]The science sub-programme is aimed at producing open educational resources and creating digital libraries, which will be made readily available for use in education through the Wikimedia projects. The main project included in this sub-programme is the following:
Continuing the Wikiexperiments project as a key and significant initiative in 2026 is a way to enrich Wikipedia's content with informative and engaging videos of scientific experiments. We are already collaborating with professors at the Institute of Chemistry in Skopje, but we plan to expand our collaboration with other faculties and scientific branches this year, in order to select a wide range of scientific experiments from various fields of natural sciences. These experiments should be visually appealing and have educational value. Based on the guidance from the experts, create new Wikipedia articles or improve existing ones to provide comprehensive information related to the experiments showcased in the videos.
Community
[edit]The Community programme includes a wide variety of projects with the goals of identifying topics of interest, filling content gaps, tackling the gender gap and improving content quality. It is divided into four sub-projects:
- Editing challenges (consists of the projects Editing days, Editing weekends, Editing competitions, CEE Spring, Editing weeks, #1Lib1Ref, Edit-a-thons, and Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos);
- Community support (consists of the project Photohunts);
- Expeditions (consists of the projects Wiki-, Geo-, Archaeo-, and Veloexpeditions; and
- Photo contests.
The community members usually have meetings in person at least once a month, in order to discuss the ongoing projects or projects we plan to organize in future. As community projects we include also workshops, media appearances and other public events.
In 2026 we plan to organize workshops (on various different topics, mostly concerned with creating new articles and improving the existing ones on Macedonian Wikipedia), edit-a-thons and an Assembly meeting.
Biggest strength on this project are our volunteers and a big number of Wiki Clubs members who are trained to edit Wikipedia. The collaboration with the GLAM institutions in Macedonia is very good, and that's why we hold events in collaboration with one of them: in order to get materials for articles, or to use their working room. Also collaboration with the Macedonian media is on high level.
Editing challenges
[edit]Editing Challenges encourage community members to actively contribute to Wikimedia projects by focusing on specific topics, themes, or content areas. These challenges are time-bound events where participants are invited to edit and improve Wikipedia articles. Editing challenges not only stimulate engagement but also help in enhancing content quality and addressing content gaps. The main projects included in this sub-project include:
The Editing Days (EDs) project is an initiative to encourage community participation and improve content on the Macedonian Wikipedia project. By holding 24-hour editing events focused on specific topics, EDs create an engaging and accessible environment for volunteers to contribute their knowledge and expertise. The fact that EDs are held twice a week, every Tuesday and Thursday, adds a sense of consistency and predictability to the project. This approach encourages people from diverse backgrounds to join and contribute to the enhancement of articles. Each ED is centered around a specific topic, which helps participants direct their efforts towards areas that need improvement or expansion. By selecting topics that have a low number of articles and are easier to edit, the EDs project ensures that participants can get involved without feeling overwhelmed. This approach promotes a sense of accomplishment and encourages newcomers to engage in editing activities. Choosing topics with minimal expert terminology makes the content more accessible to a broader audience, including those who may not be subject matter experts. The use of plain language facilitates understanding and encourages more people to participate. The variety of topic areas, such as art, literature, geography, history, culture, and music, attracts participants with different interests and expertise.
Like the Editing Days project, this Editing Weekends (EWs) explains by itself. By extending the editing period to cover the entire weekend (Saturday and Sunday), EWs provide more opportunities for volunteers to participate and contribute their expertise. By doubling the time period compared to Editing Days, EWs offer a longer and more flexible window for participants to edit articles. This extended period accommodates participants with different schedules, time zones, and availability. The extended duration of EWs can be particularly beneficial for complex or specialized topics that may require more in-depth research and expertise. It allows contributors to tackle challenging subjects with greater depth and accuracy.
However, we cannot say whether Editing Days or Editing Weekends have a higher level of editors involvement on Wikipedia, but we can confirm that if the given topic is interesting, a higher number of editors are involved.
The Editing Competitions (ECs) project is a valuable and motivating initiative to encourage active participation and content creation on Wikimedia projects. With each competition lasting for 30 days, participants have a significant timeframe to engage in editing activities and contribute valuable content. Holding three competitions in the first, third, and fourth quarters of the year, ensures regular opportunities for community members to participate throughout the year. Deciding the topics of each competition in the acting year ensures that the selected themes are relevant and align with areas where Wikimedia projects lack articles. Focusing on topics that are easy-to-edit encourages broader participation and content improvement. We have a jury of three members to evaluate articles quality and award prizes, which adds an element of competition and recognition for participants' efforts. Prizes usually motivate contributors to actively engage in the competition. The tradition of awarding additional prizes, such as a prize for the top-rated article and the best newcomer competitor, recognizes outstanding individual achievements and fosters a sense of friendly competition within the community. By providing a specific prize for the best newcomer competitor, the project encourages newcomers to get involved and contribute their knowledge and expertise.
CEE Spring 2026 is a 30 days editing competition that celebrates the culture and heritage of Central and Eastern Europe. With a focus on articles loosely related to the region, this competition offers a fantastic opportunity to showcase the diverse topics and richness of the area. The competition's focus on Central and Eastern Europe brings attention to the history, culture, and contributions of this diverse region, and this competition exists since 2015.
The Editing Weeks looks like an dynamic and time-limited version of the Editing Competitions, designed to align with specific Wikimedian international initiatives. With a shorter duration, these events provide an excellent opportunity for participants to contribute during targeted and focused periods. As the name suggests, Editing Weeks have a weekly duration, which means that participants can engage in editing activities and contribute throughout the week. We align the Editing Weeks with specific Wikimedian international initiatives, such as: International Roma Day, Women in Climate Change, Human Rights, etc.
1Lib1Ref is an international Wikimedia initiative that serves to enhance the credibility and reliability of Wikipedia articles by adding missing or insufficient references. By participating in this project since 2021, the Macedonian community has been actively contributing to the improvement of Wikipedia's content quality. The core objective of 1Lib1Ref is to enrich Wikipedia articles with references. By adding reliable sources to articles that lack or have minimal references, contributors bolster the credibility and verifiability of the content. Holding the initiative in January provides a focused and time-bound opportunity for participants to join forces and make a concentrated effort to improve Wikipedia articles. This synchronized time frame helps create a sense of unity and collective impact. The competitive aspect of 1Lib1Ref can serve as a motivating factor for contributors. By setting a friendly competition, participants are encouraged to be more active and productive during the initiative. As references are added to articles, Wikipedia gains credibility as a reliable and trustworthy source of information. The project's focus on verifiability aligns with Wikipedia's core principles of maintaining high-quality content. 1Lib1Ref encourages community participation by inviting editors, librarians, and anyone interested to collaborate and contribute to the improvement of Wikipedia's content. Recognizing the efforts of the top three productive participants with awards acknowledges their contributions and encourages continued engagement in future initiatives.
Organizing Edit-a-thons is an excellent way to engage the Wikimedian community and improve content on Wikimedia projects. We usually host several editions throughout the year, and we plan to continue with this tempo. Edit-a-thons attract participants from diverse backgrounds and skill levels. The main objective of Edit-a-thons is to improve content on Wikipedia. By focusing on specific topics or themes during each edition, contributors can target areas that require enhancement and create well-referenced and comprehensive articles. Edit-a-thons provide a structured and focused environment for participants to contribute. The clearly defined goals and topics can encourage more people to join and actively engage in editing.
Let's mention edit-a-thon from 2024 and 2025: Wikimedia MKD organized an edit-a-thon named 'Tea Party' in order to mark the International Tea Day on 21 May 2024; 'Jazz' on 30 April 2025; 'Film' on 18 August 2025, etc. We called all Macedonian Wikipedia Users and Wikimedia MKD members to take part in the Edit-a-thon. The goal was to improve the Wikipedia content on topic. The new thing that Wikimedia MKD introduced two years in a row, was granting an award to randomly select user that contributed on edit-a-thon. The granting of the award was broadcast life via the Instagram profile of Wikimedia MKD and the winner was randomly selected.
Another successful project from the past years that will be intergrated in 2026. This international initiative, created for inserting images at their respective articles if they are lacking images, was for the first time joined by us Macedonian user group because we saw a great potential and the participants covered more than 1800 articles.
Community support
[edit]Community Support sub programme plays a crucial role in fostering a healthy and collaborative Wikimedia community. This subprogram likely includes activities such as mentoring newcomers, organizing meetups, and facilitating microgrants, etc. Supporting the community helps to maintain a positive and inclusive atmosphere, ultimately leading to more productive collaborations and knowledge sharing. The main project included in this sub-programme is explained below:
Photohunts are an initiative that combines photography with Wikimedia content creation. The microgrant-based approach provides an opportunity for photographers to capture images of Musical Concerts and other live events, and contribute to Wikimedia Commons and related articles. The microgrant system allows participants to apply for funding by submitting proposals with specific details, such as the concert name, date, number of participants, and projected expenses. This structured approach ensures transparency and accountability in resource allocation. Photohunts encourage participants to engage in live events photography. The focus on contributing the images to Wikimedia Commons under the 4.0 License adds value to the broader Wikimedia community. The Photohunts are open to all individuals interested in photography and content creation. This inclusivity promotes diversity in perspectives and experiences captured through the photographs.
Expeditions
[edit]Expeditions are already 10 years project, which involve exploring and documenting specific topics, regions, or subjects of interest. Participants may embark on research trips or virtual expeditions to gather information and media related to their chosen themes. These expeditions can result in the creation of new articles, the improvement of existing content, and the addition of multimedia files to Wikimedia Commons, enriching the available resources for future readers and contributors. The main projects in this sub-programme include:
The Wikiexpeditions targeting rural areas of the Republic of Macedonia are a commendable effort to document and showcase the cultural heritage and notable sites in lesser-known villages and hamlets. By focusing on areas that may have limited photographic coverage and content on Wikipedia, this project ensures that rural regions receive the attention they deserve. The project specifically targets rural areas, ensuring that villages and hamlets, often overlooked in traditional media coverage, receive documentation and representation on Wikipedia. By focusing on non-photographed or poorly photographed locations, Wikiexpeditions help fill the visual gaps in Wikimedia Commons, enriching the visual content available for these areas. The Wikiexpeditions project covers a wide geographical range of notable sites in rural areas, including mosques, churches, monuments, schools, cultural institutions, and memorial museums. This documentation preserves and promotes their cultural significance. The Wikiexpeditions are conducted through two or three-day field trips involving four participants. This hands-on approach allows for comprehensive documentation and engagement with the local communities. In addition to photographs, the Wikiexpeditions engage in content coverage on Macedonian Wikipedia related to the sites and locations visited. This ensures that the information about these areas is well-documented and accessible to a broader audience. Wikiexpeditions in rural areas help showcase the cultural diversity and historical significance of these regions. The documentation and coverage contribute to the preservation and promotion of their unique heritage. The Wikiexpeditions project leaves a lasting impact by creating a comprehensive and diverse repository of images and information related to rural areas. This can be useful for researchers, travelers, and those interested in local history. Overall, the Wikiexpeditions in rural areas are a vital initiative that not only fills content gaps but also empowers local communities to actively engage in preserving and sharing their heritage. The combination of field trips, photography, and content coverage ensures a holistic approach to documenting and showcasing the cultural and historical significance of rural regions in the Republic of Macedonia.
Overall results during the years are in this category on commons.
The Geoexpeditions project is a valuable extension of the concept used in Wikiexpeditions, with a focus on notable geographical features within the territory of our country. By targeting landmarks that may have limited photographic coverage, the project aims to enrich Wikimedia Commons with visual documentation of these unique geographical sites. The project focuses on capturing and documenting notable geographical features within our country. These may include natural landmarks, landscapes, geographical formations, and other distinctive features. Similar to Wikiexpeditions, Geoexpeditions aim to fill the gaps in photographic coverage, ensuring that lesser-known geographical sites receive visual documentation on Wikimedia Commons. The one-day trip format allows for efficient and focused documentation of each geographical feature. Participants can visit multiple sites during different Geoexpeditions, maximizing coverage. Through Geoexpeditions, participants have the opportunity to engage with and explore the unique geography and natural beauty of various locations within our country. The project captures the natural beauty and diversity of geographical features, contributing to Wikimedia Commons' collection of images representing our country's landscapes. Geoexpeditions can also promote environmental awareness and appreciation for the natural heritage of our country. The visual documentation can highlight the need for preservation and conservation efforts. By uploading images to Wikimedia Commons, Geoexpeditions contribute to creating a comprehensive visual archive of our country's geographical features, making it accessible to a global audience.
The Archaeoexpeditions project is an initiative that combines outdoor exploration of archaeological sites with Wikipedia content improvement. Led by an archaeologist, the project allows participants to immerse themselves in the rich historical and cultural heritage of various municipalities. The project focuses on archaeological sites, allowing participants to learn about the history and cultural significance of these locations directly from an archaeologist. The one-day outdoor engagements provide a unique opportunity for participants to visit lesser-known archaeological sites within the municipalities or micro regions. This hands-on experience helps foster a deeper connection to the past. Having an archaeologist as a guide enhances the educational aspect of the Archaeoexpeditions. Participants can benefit from the expert's knowledge and expertise, gaining valuable insights into the historical context of the sites. Photographing the archaeological sites during the visit ensures visual documentation of these important historical landmarks. The images can later be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons to enrich related Wikipedia articles. By focusing on lesser-known archaeological sites, the project contributes to their visibility and recognition. Wikipedia articles improved through the project can provide valuable information to a wider audience. The second phase of the Archaeoexpeditions involves editing Wikipedia articles related to the respective sites. Participants can contribute to improving the content and accuracy of these articles, enriching them with new information gathered during the visit. The Archaeoexpeditions project creates a bridge between the field of archaeology and Wikimedia projects, encouraging collaboration and mutual support. The Archaeoexpeditions can attract participants from diverse backgrounds, including history enthusiasts, archaeology students, photographers, and Wikipedia editors. This fosters a sense of community and shared interest in preserving and promoting cultural heritage.
This type of expeditions proved to complement the Wikiexpeditions well in the past, especially in reaching places that are inaccessible by car. A total of two expeditions to regions with inaccessible places are planned during the year.
Photo contests
[edit]Photo Competitions incentivize community members to capture and contribute high-quality images to Wikimedia Commons. These competitions can focus on specific themes, events, or locations, encouraging photographers to document diverse subjects and aspects of the world. The photos uploaded through these competitions not only enrich Wikipedia articles but also contribute to the broader pool of freely licensed media available for public use. The plan is to organize one photo contest.
GLAM & Partnerships
[edit]This programme includes projects based on collaborations with public institutions with the goals of identifying new forms of knowledge, liberating copyrighted content and providing better access to free knowledge.
It is divided into four sub-programmes:
- GLAM (consists of the projects Wikipedian in Residence);
- Partnerships (consists of the projects QRpedia and Meet ... (name of the country)); and
- Open Government Data.
GLAM
[edit]Our GLAM activities and collaborations are quite successful. We have signed memorandum for collaboration with several important GLAM Institutions in Macedonia and the last one is with the Museum of North Macedonia.
During the course of the years, we maintained the strong collaboration with the institutions where we have sent WiR, which included regular visits, providing printed materials, etc. The GLAM employees have shown great interest in Wikipedia and the other Wikimedia projects and did not hesitate to provide Wikipedians with the needed materials. Some of the employees showed interest and willingness to be part of Wikipedia and Commons (as contributors). Since GLAM institutions in the Republic of Macedonia are closed ones and not easily accessible, this warm welcome and productive collaboration was more than satisfying for us. However, in order not to lose these good links and good collaboration ground, we have to send Wikipedian in Residence in order to maintain the connections and expand the possibilities for further collaboration.
The benefit of collaboration with GLAM institutions are many, including: strengthening the collaboration with GLAM Instituions in Macedonia in order to educate GLAM employees on Wikimedia projects; educating GLAM employees to add references into articles, and creating new articles or improving the existing ones as the GLAM employees are high educated professionals. The implementation of WIkimedia projects within WiR's work is giving us chance to organize special events in collaboration with GLAM institutions, such as edit-a-thons, workshops and Wikipedian tours, which will bring other Wikipedians on-site to work with staff on content creation and improvement of Wikimedia projects. The GLAM institutions collaboration with us is their opportunity to be more open to the public, understand the need of digitization, as well as the need of sharing the knowledge, documents, historic photos and materials with the general public.
The plans for the activities in 2026 is to engage at least 9 WiR, and send them in several GLAM institutions. The expectations are to have several productive months because the museum staff was glad to establish such cooperation with us and they are willing to provide us the needed help in order to digitize as much materials as possible which can be freely shared on Wikimedia projects.
Our strengths are experienced Wikipedian in Residence, and good established collaboration with the institutions so far.
We don't have a weakness in this area of activities, but the threat could be lack of interest of GLAM employees to edit Wikipedia in the future, or after WiR's task is done. To avoid this, we plan to engage the GLAM employees in edit-a-thons, in Wiki Tours, and most important, to engage them to provide for us the materials for articles.
Partnerships
[edit]The collaboration and cooperation with other organizations and institutions in this program adds a valuable dimension to the project. By working together, the program can leverage the expertise, resources, and networks of these organizations to enhance its impact and reach. Collaborating with other organizations and institutions opens up opportunities for partnerships that can extend the program's reach and effectiveness. By combining efforts, the program can achieve more significant outcomes than it could on its own. Visiting institutions and conducting photo sessions of their exhibits and facilities allows the program to document and preserve valuable cultural and historical artifacts. These photographs can be used to enrich Wikimedia Commons and Wikimedia projects, making them accessible to a global audience. Gathering existing photo archives owned by institutions can significantly expand the visual content available on Wikimedia Commons. These archives can be valuable sources of historical images that contribute to the documentation of cultural heritage. By collaborating with institutions and using their resources, the program can enrich articles on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. The content created or improved through this collaboration can enhance readers' understanding and appreciation of cultural and historical topics. The program's collaboration with institutions can support their own goals and missions, such as promoting cultural heritage, increasing public access to information, and fostering educational outreach. By documenting and preserving exhibits and facilities through photo sessions, the program contributes to the preservation of cultural heritage. Making these resources available on Wikimedia Commons ensures their accessibility and long-term digital preservation. Collaboration with other organizations allows for the exchange of expertise and knowledge. The program can learn from the experience of partner institutions and vice versa, leading to mutual learning and improvement. The collaborative nature of the program multiplies its impact, as each partner brings unique resources and strengths to the table. Together, they can achieve a more extensive and meaningful contribution to cultural heritage preservation and knowledge dissemination.
The WikiStreet project is a commendable initiative that combines cultural heritage informational preservation with Wikipedia content creation and promotion. By installing informational QR coded plaques in selected streets, the project aims to make valuable information about cultural heritage sites easily accessible to visitors and the general public. The images captured during the visits of the streets and objects which are cultural heritage, can be used on Wikipedia articles to enhance the visual representation of the sites. The editing phase involves creating new articles or improving existing ones on Macedonian and English Wikipedias. This step ensures that comprehensive and accurate information about the cultural heritage sites is available to a global audience. Promoting the QR-coded plaques ensures that visitors are aware of the availability of information through the codes.
Meet ... (name of the country) is a projects, editing competition, we started in 2019, and means collaboration with the Embassy of the named country. We already worked on this project with seven Embassies of seven countries. This editing competition is aimed only for Wiki Club's members: in 30 days, the students are asked to create articles about the certain country, and the 5 winners are selected as the best contributors, and they are awarded by the ambassador personally.
Open Government Data
[edit]The Open Government Data project is an initiative that focuses on collaboration with institutions to obtain structured data for uploading to Wikidata. By promoting open access to government data, the project contributes to transparency, accountability, and the free dissemination of information. The project's focus on open government data aligns with the principles of open knowledge sharing, encouraging institutions to make their data freely available to the public. Working closely with institutions allows the project to access a wide range of data sources and expand the scope of information available on Wikidata. The project's goal of uploading structured data to Wikidata enhances the completeness and accuracy of information on the platform. Collaborating with reputable institutions can help ensure the quality and reliability of the data, increasing its credibility on Wikidata. By making government data openly accessible on Wikidata, the project contributes to promoting transparency in governance and public decision-making. By converting government data into structured formats on Wikidata, the project makes the information more usable and accessible for diverse applications. Over time, the project's efforts in collaborating with institutions and uploading data contribute to building a valuable repository of government information on Wikidata. Access to open government data empowers citizens to be better informed and engaged in public affairs, fostering a participatory democratic culture.
