[Wikimedia-l] The AfroCine Project: Update from the Team

2022-11-02 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
Dear Wikimedians,

The AfroCine Project team will once again like to thank everyone who has 
contributed towards ensuring the success of this initiative over the past few 
years. Due to your valued efforts, we have been able to add over 10,000 quality 
articles to Wikipedia in over 20 different languages. Over 15 countries have 
also been directly impacted through this project.

The team will also like to inform you of the leadership changes that the 
Afrocine project has gone through over the past couple of months. After more 
than 4 years of leading this project since its inception, I will be stepping 
down as the Project lead. I want to use this opportunity to thank the project 
team and the wider community for the trust bestowed on me to steer the project 
over the years and the support I have received all the way.

I am handing over the baton to Ayo Odedere and Eben Calist Mlay, as the Project 
Co-leads. These two long standing members of the Wikimedia community have been 
very crucial in steering the direction of this project over the past years and 
I trust that they are able to move the project forward with new perspectives 
and innovation, while I continue to support the project in other ways. I also 
implore the community to support them in the same way I have been supported.

While there won’t be a major contest this year, the new team is organising a 
brief stint in this month of November, which would be shared accordingly soon 
and we look forward to your participation! If you need any information or have 
any query regarding this contest or the project, feel free to contact the team 
on: i...@afrocineproject.org.

Thank you very much for your constant support in running this project with 
success.

With regards,
Sam Oyeyele
On behalf of the AfroCine Project team.

[Wikimedia-l] Afrocine: Conclusion of the 2020 Months of African Cinema Global Contest

2021-04-26 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
Greetings!


The Months of African Cinema Global 
Edit-a-thon
 was concluded on 30 November 2020,[1] and we want to send a big thank you to 
all the participants who helped make it a success! Over 3,200 articles were 
created across 19 language Wikipedias, surpassing all expectations and placing 
the contest firmly as one of the most successful article-writing contests on 
Wikipedia.



We also want to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all those who volunteered to 
be part of the jury team. It was very complicated trying to assess the quality 
of 3,000 articles, but we did it! All our winners have now been announced and 
you can check the complete list 
here.[2]



Thank you so much for being part of this global event! Thank you for helping to 
fix African content gaps on Wikipedia! We hope to see more of your 
participation in future AfroCine events and activities. Please remember to sign 
up on the main WikiProject participants’ page,[3] and on the meta page[4] to 
get updated with these activities.



Thanks,

Sam,

On behalf of The AfroCine Project team.

[Wikimedia-l] Afrocine: Participate in the Months of African Cinema

2020-08-07 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
[Apologies for cross-posting]

In so much excitement, after successful iterations of the Months of African 
Cinema global contest[1] for the past years, we are happy to announce that it 
will be happening again this year, starting from October to November. In the 
past editions of the contest, over 2,000 Wikimedia pages were created across 
different Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikimedia commons) and in 
more than 10 different languages.

The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called “The Afrocine Project” 
[2] , which is a Wikimedia project dedicated to improving the coverage of the 
history, works, people, places, events, etc, that are associated with the 
cinema, theatre and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the 
diaspora.

If you would love to join us in organizing this exciting event, through the 
coordination of local programmes around African cinema (independently or 
otherwise) in your community or local language Wiki, kindly list your 
organization or country as a participant on the organizer’s meta page.[3] If 
you would need some funding to run your planned programmes, the Wikimedia 
Foundation has a rapid grant programme in place for this purpose and the 
AfroCine Project team would guide you through the application process.



If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out 
to us personally or right here on the mailing list or the project talkpage.



Thank you!

Sam.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Yahoo/AOL warning

2019-11-17 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
Not just G-mails; I use hotmail (outlook), and all e-mails from Yahoo and AOL 
end up in my spam folder. I have tried everything possible to stop this from 
happening to no avail, but I see now that this isn't specific to just me, or 
the configuration of my mail.

Kindly,
Sam.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Yahoo/AOL warning

(I'm not the most technical person, so feel free to correct imprecisions or
add better suggestions)
It feels like a blast from the past, but it turns out there's still a fair
amount of Yahoo/AOL users that are part of our community.

Just a fair warning: as has been known for a while now (at least 2013
), yahoo (and AOL?) emails
through mailman lists are often treated as spam by gmail email recipients.

This has gotten worse: I understand Yahoo may have blacklisted
lists.wikimedia.org altogether, and emails are bouncing. I noticed for some
50-100 email Yahoo and AOL addresses on the Wiki Loves Monuments mailing
list that they bounced back, and eventually got automatically unsubscribed.

So if you or a friend has a Yahoo or AOL email address - you/they may be at
risk of being unsubscribed from (some?) Wikimedia mailing lists without
notification. The only 'fix' that you can do, that I'm aware of, is slowly
moving to a different provider, if you want to be active on these lists.

The issue is being tracked without much visible activity here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T232417 (there may be more relevant
tickets).

Best,
Lodewijk

[Wikimedia-l] Join the Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-Thon

2019-09-24 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
Greetings!

Apologies for cross-posting. After a successful first iteration of the “Months 
of African Cinema” last year, we are happy to announce that it will be 
happening again this year, starting from October 1! In the 2018 edition of the 
contest, about 600 Wikipedia articles were created in at least 8 languages. 
There were also contributions to Wikidata and Wikimedia commons, which brought 
the total number of wikimedia pages created during the contest to over 1,000. 
About 9 in-person events were also organised for the edit-a-thon in different 
parts of the world.

The contest is organized by a Wikimedia project called "The AfroCine 
Project",[1] which is dedicated to improving the coverage of the history, 
works, people, places, and events, that are associated with the cinema, theatre 
and arts of Africa, African countries, the Caribbean, and the diaspora.

If you would love to join this exciting event, please list your username as a 
participant on the English Wikipedia contest page.[2] If you would love to lead 
this contest for your country or community, please list your name in the 
coordinators page here.[3] The rapid grants team would be accepting proposals 
throughout October and November, in case you'd need funds to run local 
edit-a-thons or some other activities related to this event. Upon listing your 
name on the coordinators' page, you'd be contacted to talk about the resources 
you'd need to run the event in your community. You can also contact me directly 
for any clarifications.

Finally, We also need volunteers to handle some aspects of the AfroCine 
project. These aspects include:

1. Community Liaison: This role essentially involves closely engaging with 
local communities to support their activities within the scope of Afrocine.

2. Communications: This involves the communications aspects of the project. 
Sharing relevant information on mailing lists and social media would be the 
responsibility of this person.

3. MAC Jury: This role involves joining the jury of Months of African Cinema 
contest. We need as many people as we can get :).

4. Tools: Going forward, we would need relevant tools to better track the 
metrics and also analyse the general impact of these events. We are calling for 
Wikimedia volunteers who can navigate wikimedia tools that can be useful for 
the project.

If you would love to help with any of these roles, or some other roles that 
have not been mentioned, please contact me directly.

If you have further questions, complaints, suggestions, etc., please reach out 
to me personally or right here on the mailing list or the project talkpages.

Thank you!

Sam Oyeyele.

I'd definitely miss seeing you on the Wikimedia research showcase. However, I'm 
also happy that you get to move on to an area that's closer to your heart. 
Wishing you all the best in this new venture!

[Wikimedia-l] Afrocine: The Months of African Cinema Continues.....

2018-11-19 Thread Sam Oyeyele 
Greetings!


Thank you very much to those who have signed up to participate in the Months of 
African 
Cinema<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfroCine/Months_of_African_Cinema>
 global contest/edit-a-thon, and thank you for your contributions so far.


We are moving towards the conclusion of the contest and a lot have been 
achieved already! We have been able to get over about 300 articles created in 
over eight (8) languages! The figures soars to up to a thousand, if Wikidata 
entries are included. Furthermore, there have been about 6 in-person gatherings 
of Wikipedians in different countries across the world to create articles about 
African(a) cinema!


We are very excited about what has been achieved so far, but your contributions 
are still needed to further exceed all expectations! Let’s create more articles 
before the end of this contest, which is this November!!!

  *   Article suggestions can be found 
here<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfroCine/Article_Suggestions>.
 You can also add to this list.
  *   Some notable reliable sources for African cinema can be found 
here<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfroCine/Reliable_Sources>.
 Again, this list needs expansion.
  *   Interested in Wikidata translation? check out the Occupation 
Drive<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Wiki_Loves_Women/Occupations>,
 which is being led by Wiki Loves Women, in support of the contest and the 
project!
  *   Please remember to list articles you have created or improved in the 
Article 
Achievements<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AfroCine/Months_of_African_Cinema#Article_achievements>
 section of the contest page, so that they can be easily tracked.

Thank you once again for being part of this global event!


Kindly,

Sam Oyeyele.

Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Wikimedia Sverige receives $65k+ in funding for our 
Library Data project

*Hi everybody and sorry for crossposting,Wikimedia Sverige is proud to be
the recipient of $65,500 in support from the Swedish National Library for
our project Library Data.We will work in collaboration with the Swedish
National Library to include a number of datasets onto Wikidata, such as
data about authors, libraries and different special databases of
bibliographies[1]. This is a pilot project where we aim to discuss with the
community what to include and what to exclude. Based on the discussions and
the requests from the community we will design a continuation of this
project (if this first part is deemed successful continuous funding is
possible for 3-4 more years).We started investigating a possible long term
partnership with the National Library in 2017 when Wikimedia Sverige
delivered inputs to the new National Strategy for the Library Sector on how
Sweden's libraries can work with Wikimedia for mutual benefits.[2] The
National Library has just made history as the world's first national
library to fully transition to Linked Open Data (BIBFRAME 2.0),[3] so the
timing could not have been better; we are now in position to examine how
this move can benefit Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.Please contact
the project manager André Costa (andre.co...@wikimedia.se
) or the developer Alicia Fagerving
(alicia.fagerv...@wikimedia.se ) if you have
any questions. As always, you can find the full application on our wiki (in
Swedish):

I am sad to know this news about User:Bhadani's demise.

I knew him as a very wise person with an open mind.

That he chose to write his autobiography as a Wikipedian shows how much he
valued the movement.

My heartfelt condolences to his family.
