[Wikimedia-l] WikiForHumanRights: Help us Organize the Campaign, November 15-January 30

[Alex Stinson]

Hello all, and apologies for crossposting!

I hope you are doing well!

As you may have noticed when we announced the partnership in August [1]:
the Wikimedia Foundation is working with the UN Human Rights to help expand
the availability of knowledge about human rights online.

As one of our first collaborations, we are going to be running a campaign
from November 15 - January 30 to add and improve knowledge about human
rights on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. The initial focus of the
campaign will be on improving articles about topics related to the UN
Declaration of Human Rights and youth standing up for human rights.  More
information about the campaign is also available here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights


We would like to invite you to get involved in the campaign in one of
several ways:

Help us build the list!

   -

   We need your help identifying more topics related to youth involved in
   human rights that don’t have articles on Wikipedia or could use further
   improvement. We would like to represent many different languages and
   geographies in the campaign. To propose topics for the list, see
   instructions at:
   
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/List#Adding_a_topic_to_the_Youth_Lists



Organize an online or offline event!

We need your help finding community leaders from throughout the Wikimedia
to:

   -

   Host an online campaign on your language Wikipedia! To learn more about
   hosting a local topical campaign see the kit here:
   https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Campaign
   -

   Hold an in person editathon with local human rights organizations or
   partners! To learn more, check out the kit here:
   https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Editathon


Promote the campaign starting Dec. 10 for International Human Rights Day!

Help us amplify your efforts around the campaign and publicize it to wide
audiences. We’ll be sharing a communications toolkit (including graphics)
soon with suggestions on reaching out to folks about the campaign.

   -

  Reach out to local media and supporters: Journalists and the public
  can help add momentum to the campaign through storytelling and spreading
  the word.
  -

  Promote the campaign on social media: We’ll be using
  #WikiForHumanRights to promote the campaign on social media, when we
  increase the communication to the public on 10 December


If you want to help in other ways, let us know on the discuss space
#human-rights tag

or by emailing Alex Stinson 

If you are interested, let us know by indicating your interest to organize
in the Organize sections linked above!

Note: We are still updating the communications assets for the campaign! To
watch for those materials, add
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Share to your meta
watchlist.

Have questions?

If you have questions, we are going to be hosting an office hour next
Tuesday
,
or you can ask questions on the discuss space #human-rights tag

.

Looking forward to your engagement with the campaign!

[Wikimedia-l] Wikipedia Asian Month Edit-a-thon : November 1-30, 2019 --- Come and join us!

[Roman Bustria Jr.]

Hello Fellow Wikimedian,

We encourage you to participate in the 2019 Wikipedia Asian Month from 1
November to 30 November!

Wikipedia Asian Month is an annual Wikipedia contest focused on the
promotion of Asian content on various language-specific Wikipedias. Each
participating community runs a month-long online edit-a-thon every November
on their language's Wikipedia to create new content or improve existing
articles about Asian topics apart from their own country. Participation is
not limited to Asian communities.

As part of the friendship and cultural exchange of the Wikipedia Asian
Community, participants who create at least four articles will receive a
special Wikipedia Postcard from another participating community.

For further information, you may visit the Wikipedia Asian Month main page:

[Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia RU Report

[Vladimir Medeyko]

Dear colleagues,

We've just published reports
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_chapters/Reports/Wikimedia_Russia

I would like to mention that most finances are related to specific grants
for promotion and dissemination of information about free
content/licenses/culture among librarians and archives workers. Despite it
of course helps Wikimedia mission, it's only a specific area of our
activities, while other activities mostly suffer tight budgets.

Please write me if you are interested in any additional information.
