[Wikimedia-l] Recruiting movement organizers for pilot of geo-based metrics
TL;DR: The Global Data & Insights team is recruiting [1] Wikimedia movement researchers, organizers, grantees, and affiliates to partner in piloting and consulting on some new movement metrics in February and March 2022. The Global Data & Insights team will launch a pilot [2] beginning February 2022 for consultation on a new project mapping existing Wikimedia Movement engagement data by geography. The project intends to surface existing data to help our movement have a better understanding of diversity, equity, and inclusion across known pathways for engaging with Wikimedia, including reading and editing or organizing programs, grants, or affiliates. It will help us answer shared questions about who is in our movement, what voices may be missing, and where. They are looking for volunteers who are actively engaged in strategic planning, implementation, or research focused on the Wikimedia movement’s development along two specific use cases to which the pilot metrics are geared toward. * Use Case 1: Directing grant funds and resource opportunities to spaces ready for growth * Use Case 2: Directing non-monetary support and partnership opportunities to spaces ready for development and able to support the work.

The survey was a collaborative effort of the Wikimania Conference and Hackathon organizers and the WMF Learning and Evaluation team. Conferences and hackathons had been identified as key programs to develop evaluation insight. Given the opportunity to collaborate on an evaluation survey, WMF team members partnered with conference and hackathon organizers to provide the technical support to complete the survey project. This first survey offers a look into the processes and outcomes of the conference. It is intended as a means for participants to share what they got out of the conference and a platform to collect information on how we can improve future conferences and their evaluation.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Fwd: Bad usage of money in Brazil
Hello Lila, I wanted to answer your question regarding the bubbles in the bubble chart as that chart has been pulled from our *Program Evaluation (beta)* reports, this one from the Wiki Loves Monuments report, available at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/Library/WLM The bubble charts are intersecting data along three dimensions, an x- and y- axis as well as a z-axis illustrated by bubble size. That particular chart, Graph 2: Budget, participation, and photos added, illustrates the number of participants along the horizontal x-axis, budget along the vertical y-axis, and number of images uploaded along the vertical z-axis illustrated by bubble size and numeric label. The data represent 11 Wiki Loves Monuments implementations in 2012 for which we had all three points of data reported. The reviewed contests had budget inputs ranging from less than $1,000 USD to almost $17,000 USD. The number of participants ranging from 75 to 2,005, and the number of images added ranged from nearly 2,000 to more than 30,000. (The raw data are also available in the original report as appendix tables) The varying sizes of the bubbles — with larger bubbles representing more images uploaded — show that the number of photos increase significantly when events have over 500 participants. There does not seem to be a direct relationship between budget, participant count, or images uploaded. The bubble size doesn't get larger or smaller — meaning when more money is invested in an Wiki Loves Monuments implementation, that doesn't mean the event will have a higher participant count or a higher upload count. Hope that helps to clarify the chart. Please let me know if you have further questions!

[Wikimedia-l] RfC Let's Talk! Program Evaluation and Metrics
Greetings! With apologies for any cross-posting, we are contacting you all now as we are reaching out to the Wikimedia community and all program leaders, evaluators, volunteers, and others who hold a stake and/or interest in Wikimedia program evaluation and design. We present this request for comment (RfC) and a new community discussion page on the evaluation portal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Dialogue Let's Talk! Program Evaluation and Metrics As we come upon one year’s time since our Program Evaluation and Design team began on the initiative to build program evaluation capacity, we’d like to hear from the community of Wikimedia -- program leaders, evaluators, volunteers, and other stakeholders in program evaluation and design -- about your perspectives on those efforts. Background: The focus of the evaluation capacity building initiative is peer learning, practice sharing, and the adoption of shared language and approach to program evaluation across the movement. This initiative is to support the discoverability and innovation of programs that will achieve high impact. Importantly, the team is charged with developing learning resources and tools to support program leaders to self-evaluate their program efforts and impacts. Current RfC: Please visit the dialogue pages to share your perspective on: * How we should evaluate and report on the program evaluation and design capacity-building initiative. * The evaluation learning opportunities and resources made available. * Program metrics piloted in the beta reports. * How we should assess grantmaking to groups and individuals. Visit https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Parlor/Dialogue for all the details and to participate. Please be encouraged to also forward this announcement to any lists or individuals you think might be interested. On behalf of the Program Evaluation and Design team, thank you for your time and attention, we hope to hear from you in our portal.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] New Evaluation Report: Wikipedia Education Program
Hello Anne, Thank you for your interest. I have posted your question and the following response on the report's talk page https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs_talk:Evaluation_portal/Library/WEP Please continue with any further comments and dialogue there. Best regards, Jaime == For the overall WEP report could you please spell out on the Wiki page exactly what programs you are talking about, and link each to their specific report? I'm having a hard time figuring out exactly what is being reported as part of the WEP, what projects are affected, and which programs have more participants. == :Program leaders who self-reported were assured their data would be reported without their program name identifiers. With this low a report count, even without program names listed in line with the data, this is very difficult to do. The implementations reported here represent program activity in the Arab world program, Czech Republic, Mexico, Nepal, Quebec, and the US/Canada. The data reported at the bottom actually have unique Report ID numbers that can be matched across the last three tables so that you can actually regenerate the dataset missing only event names (See Appendix heading More Data for the complete input, output, and outcome data used in the report). Those data include the instructor classroom count, number of program weeks, and participant counts for each implementation reported. In the future we plan to ask program leaders what level of identifiability in this reporting they are comfortable with and include identifiers in cases in which reporters volunteer to share that information publicly. :However, as there is some expressed interest in possibly comparing programs, I must restate the need for caution, at this early stage in the reporting, with such small numbers of implementers reporting (less than 10% potentially), we are aware that the data do not represent all programming, and that the data are too variable to draw comparisons between programs statistically. Further, in the case where the count of classroom varies highly across implementations, aggregate reporting of more than one-hundred classrooms is not directly comparable to the reporting of a single classroom since summative statistics from an increased number of observations generates a ''regression to the mean'' and do not make for a one-to-one comparison. :These issues as well as any other comments and/or suggestions are welcome on this talk page. __ ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe
[Wikimedia-l] New Evaluation Report: Wikipedia Education Program
Greetings, (Please pardon any cross-posting) The final in our series of the Evaluation Reports (beta), the report on the Wikipedia Education Program, is now available on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/WEPhttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_portal/Library/WLM Highlights of the report include: ==Inputs== The average Wikipedia Education Program reported cost a total of almost $8,000 USD in total, and $275 each week to implement. The average Wikipedia Education Program invests a total of $67 US and 3 hours into recruiting each new editor participant. ==Participation== Program leaders reported participation rates ranging from 25 to 2,372, and programs lasted from two weeks to 21 months with an average of 37.5 weeks. ==Outputs== For the seven reported Wikipedia Education Program implementations, almost 3,000 different Wikimedia pages were created or improved. The average Wikipedia Education Program produces about 120 pages of content each week. The average program participant adds just under half a page of content to Wikipedia and creates or improves six wiki pages each week. ==Outcomes== Out of the 3,334 new editor participants in Wikipedia Education Program, 36 (1.2%) participants were active three months after the program ended; 33 (1.1%) were active six months after the programs ended. Questions are welcome and encouraged on the talk page.

The most interesting datum I've noticed so far is the rate of active editor (5+ edits/month) retention among new contributors after six months, which is about 0.4%. Is active editor retention a metric defined somewhere? It's not in https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:WMF_ standardized_editor_classes. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_ portal/Library/WLM#New_users Yes - https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Analytics/Metric_definitions#Active_editor Thank you for asking, and mentioning that it is not linked in the section. I will reference that link there. I would like to point out that the overview page to the set of reports does contain a lot of important information about how things were defined and are reported in each programs evaluation report. That (along with the easy-to-measure and already known sheer quanities of photos generated) seems to me to be the most robust number to use in evaluating WLM (and comparable) funding requests. 0.4% may be considered worthwhile or not enough, depending on local contexts, so I'm not drawing a universal conclusion from it, just noting it. I find the return rate for the next event even more interesting! Yes, it is important to remember that there are many other potential outcomes that have not been measured and are not included in this first round of evaluation reporting. See http://www.wikilovesmonuments.org/wiki-loves-monuments-footprint/ for more.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] [Wiki Loves Monuments] New Program Evaluation report: Wiki Loves Monuments
Hello Nemo, Sorry for the confusing in-line, I entered the conversation late, and appreciate your patience. I do not think I am understanding what definition information you are asking for. The definition of how we defined the windows for 3 and 6 month follow-up is written on the overview page in reference note number 1 and I have now added a second reference to the mediawiki reference page I shared as that is what the 5+/month is referenced from. The way the quarters are defined is also referenced in the main text of the report with some additional note references. As we are looking at retention of activeeditors at different follow-up points defined at 3 and 6 months (as indication of short and intermediate term outcomes) we have outlined how this was done as a more-or-less quarterly follow-up following the end of program events. So yes, the first quarter post event is October through December and the second January through March. Assessments are from Wikimetrics and based on a start day and time and end day and time, not on account creation as these other metrics do as we are evaluating outreach programs that have event dates and variable account creation dates. The goal of the metric that was was mainly to assess the number of active contributors that are actually recruited, survival has been included mostly for added understanding of the how this active requirement compares to survival (any activity in the window of interest). Still, I am not sure if this is answering you either. If you are simply suggesting we not look at retention at 3 and 6 month intervals but rather at 1 week, 2 months, and 6 months, as exampled on your page link, I must say that this is the first time for that suggestion and that would be something to discuss on the report talk page (or overview talk page). If you have additional questions or comments, please share them on the report talk pages where we would like these conversations to take place and be recorded.

I know what an active editor is, you'll see in the history that I contributed to the section you linked. I asked about the rate of active editor retention as Asaf called it, or... Six-month follow-up Active second quarter of retention follow-up (??) as mentioned in the page. Apart from the confusing terminology, you'll note that it doesn't match with the (draft?) definition https://meta.wikimedia.org/ wiki/Research:Surviving_new_editor even with non-standard n=1, m=15, t_2=90 days and t_1 0 unless you arbitrarily pose T = end of September. You may want to align definitions a bit. I would like to point out that the overview page to the set of reports does contain a lot of important information about how things were defined and are reported in each programs evaluation report. If you mean https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Programs:Evaluation_ portal/Library/Overview#Recruitment_and_retention, it doesn't contain any definition for the metric.
