Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
Orientation of freshers and recruitment of new members into WikiClub LASU A total of 20 new editors/members were recruited within the period of the contest Before the physical meetup on the 10th December, 2022, recruiting had been ongoing
[1. https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/Lagos_State_University/WIKI_ETHNICITY_and_Tribe/students/overview]
Add or improve content 88 edited articles, over 100 total edits, 400+ reference added, 1 commons upload (see dashboard for full details) The event spanned two weeks from the 10th if December due to the fact that the festive period was approaching, most editors were new and with few facilitators, but regardless, it was a successful.


Learning[edit]

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?

Turn out was encouraging and support from volunteers was timely

  • What did not work so well?

We had IP blocks severally. We had issues with using the school's facilities because our registration was ongoing during the planning stage of the edit-a-thon, it stalled publicity to some extent because we didn't not have a venue for the physical event for some period. Also, some participants didn't have laptops so they made use of their mobile devices.

  • What would you do differently next time?

Next time, we would have the participants create their Wikipedia accounts and join the program's dashboard before the training, so as to prevent or minimize the multiple IP blocks.
