[Wikimediaau-l] Fwd: [Wikimedia-l] Fundraiser Launch Today
FYI -- Forwarded message -- From: Megan Hernandez mhernan...@wikimedia.org Date: Dec 3, 2013 6:22 AM Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Fundraiser Launch Today To: Wikimedia Mailing List wikimedi...@lists.wikimedia.org Cc: Hi all, The fundraising team is kicking off our year-end campaign in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand at midnight UTC on December 3, 2013. SF staff - banners are going up in a few minutes. Check out our latest banner. http://en.wikipedia.org/?banner=B13_1202_clr_blgs_enYYreset=1 Quick reminder: We have been running banners at a low-level since the start of the fiscal year in July. In that time, we have continuously tested new banners to find improvements that will allow us to reduce the number of banners people see each year. This is our first year experimenting with year-round fundraising. We've already raised over $13 million USD -- which is roughly equal to about how much we raised after our first full week of the 2012 fundraising campaign. During this year-end campaign, banners will be displayed to 100% of readers. *A few key facts:* - Amount raised in testing prior to the year-end campaign: Roughly $13.5 million USD - Campaign goal: $20 million USD - Banners will run to 100% of English readers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand - Previous donors will receive a reminder to donate email during the month of December - Mobile banners will be displayed in the US - We will run campaigns in other countries and languages in 2014 If you spot any errors, please let us know on the meta talk pagehttps://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:Fundraising_2013. Feel free to ask questions there as well. More background info on meta: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fundraising_2013 Thanks for your help!

Re: [Wikimediaau-l] WP training at NLA last week
HI Liam Can I take this to create the basis of a section on the event in https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM/Newsletter/November_2013/Contents/Australia_and_New_Zealand_reportwhich is due out in 3 days Cheers Gideon On 2 December 2013 12:20, Liam Wyatt liamwy...@gmail.com wrote: On Friday, user:Aliaretiree and user:Rubicon49bce (Mylee and Katherine from the State Library of NSW) and myself did a full-day training workshop at the National Library for representatives of each of the other State Libraries in Australia. This is part of the project to write articles about digitised newspapers in Trove. The event was under the auspices of the annual 'Australian Newspapers Plan' consortium meeting (a committee of all the state libraries to coordinate their newspaper collecting/preservation). WP event project page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia :GLAM/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales/NSLA_Training_November_2013 This training session was significant not only in terms of the fact that there are a couple of trained Wikipedia editors among the staff of each state/territory library now, but also because this was the culmination of the SLNSW Wikipedia project (which included the Wikipedian In Residence with user:Whiteghost.ink earlier in the year). The project was always hoping to be able to develop enough skill and confidence within the SLNSWthat editing WP became part of 'business as usual' for their staff, and that they could then train other state libraries too. So, to sit up the back of the room and watch two of my former 'students' deliver their own WP training day was brilliant! Thanks especially to user:99of9 (Toby, also one of the original SLNSWtrainers) for helping out remotely during the day and over the weekend in ensuring the articles we created were given the once-over and all our new users were welcomed. You can see the practical results of the day, in terms of new users and new articles created, here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia :GLAM/State_Library_of_New_South_Wales/NSLA _Training_November_2013#Trainees [note there are two articles currently sitting in the 'articles for creation' queue and one is currently being debated for deletion.

On a side note - here at the NLA we just had a public guest talk by user: edsu (Ed Summers) from the Library of Congress. He spent basically the entire time talking about how good wikipedia was and why GLAM-Wiki was really important, and showing off some of the visualisation tools he's created to demonstrate that - such as Linkypedia http://wikistream.wmflabs.org/ and Wikistream http://wikistream.wmflabs.org/ You don't often get a better endorsement than that! -Liam wittylama.com Peace, love metadata ___ Wikimediaau-l mailing list Wikimediaau-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaau-l -- GN.
