[Wikimedia-l] Evaluating ideal use of prizes or rewards for campaigns

2021-03-12 Thread Felix Nartey 
Dear Community,


(apologies for cross-posting!)

Prizes or awards are key to volunteer organisations such as Wikimedia. It's
one way of providing motivation or encouraging continuous participation.
Even so, it's often very hard to decide on what could be an ideal prize for
a campaign. We have been hearing lots of questions from organizers about
appropriate criteria, types and amounts as prizes for a campaign. The
Wikimedia Foundation Campaigns Team invites you to our next virtual office
hour on 25th March at 3:00pm UTC via zoom[1] to discuss this topic with
organizers experienced at using prizes as part of competitions.[2]



The Campaigns Office hour is an opportunity to learn about how others have
organized content campaigns, new or emerging tools and tactics, and ask
questions about how campaigns have been implemented by other organizers.

The goal of this office hour will be to evaluate organizer concerns and
challenges, with a particular focus on helping photography campaigns and
content writing campaigns in creating consistent prize philosophies within
the Wikimedia Movement. Our recent office hour explained the 2021
WikiForHumanRights Campaign dubbed “Right to a Healthy Environment” (watch
video).[3] We talked about decentralized activities around the theme and
how to access mentoring and rapid grants.



Join us for the next office hour:

[Wikimedia-l] Movement Strategy Global Conversations: Lessons Learned published!

2021-03-12 Thread Cornelius Kibelka 
Hi friends,

Over November, December and January, the Movement Strategy team at the
Wikimedia Foundation organized -- for the first time ever --  an virtual
events series in which the Wikimedia communities on a global level were
invited to prioritize initiatives from the Movement Strategy
recommendations for the upcoming 18 month. More than 600 people in total
participated in these events.

Kaarel already shared the content-related reports on what has happened at
these events. Today, I wanted to share some additional material: A report
that covers extensively on how we organized this event series, mostly from
a logistical, technical, and operational perspective:

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Strategy/Wikimedia_movement/2018-20/Transition/Global_Conversations/Lessons_Learned

>From what we know, these were the largest online events the Wikimedia
Foundation has organized so far, and we wanted to share as many lessons
learned as possible on how to organize virtual events, so that others can
pick up from what we did. Also, the pandemic is far from over and we all
will have to learn better on how to organize virtual and, especially,
hybrid events in the upcoming future.

Happy reading & sharing,
Cornelius

[Wikimedia-l] Help us organize for #WikiForHumanRights!

2021-03-12 Thread Alex Stinson 
Hello all,

We are excited for #WikiForHumanRights -- at the office hours and
afterwards community groups throughout the movement have already connected
with us about organizing. This year we are going to focus on the "right to
a healthy environment" and we need your help!

What can you do?

If you like to organize an event, we have created a list of ideas at:
https://w.wiki/33kh. You can also learn more about kinds of activities from
our last office hour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_QEE60hcFk  Keep in
mind that we are support rapid grants to help you go further by means of
financial support rapid grants will be available through April 15 -- please
apply any time during that window through the application process.


If you are organizing an event, please add it to the table at:
https://w.wiki/35gK

We will also have a content-writing challenge with prizes from April 15 -
May 15 you can learn more about the challenge and sign up for the challenge
at:  https://w.wiki/35gE

We also have developed a draft list of articles to be created or enriched
with UN Human Rights: https://w.wiki/33ki . We hope these inspire you to
think about what your community could do to fill the gaps on your wikis
about the right to  healthy environment: this could include topics related
to human rights, climate or environmental justice, communities impacted by
environmental health issues, or similar.


We encourage working on Wikipedia and on sister projects: Commons,
Wikidata, Wiktionary ... etc.

If you have a question, you can send us an email (Alex Stinson:
astin...@wikimedia.org, Michel Bakni: mbakni-...@wikimedia.org), or you can
attend the support and mentoring meeting we are organizing on Zoom on at 14:00
(GMT)  18 March 2021. [1]

Subject: WikiForHumanRights at Campaign Team Office Hours and upcoming
WMSusDev meeting
To: Wikimedia Mailing List 


Dear Community,

As we announced during December,[1] this year’s WikiForHumanRights campaign
will be arriving for Earth Day this year: April 15-May 15. The theme is
“Right to a Healthy Environment” -- connecting the 20th Birthday “Human”
theme with the global conversations about COVID-19, environmental crisis,
like climate change, and human rights.You can learn more about the theme at
our under-development home page. [2]

The campaign will have two parts: a challenge, like the WikiGap Challenge,
and decentralized digital and in-person events (where COVID-19 risk
assessments allow).

We need your help organizing the decentralized events -- and will be
supporting development of activities through mentoring and rapid grants.



Do you want to be part of organizing?  The Campaigns Team at the Wikimedia
Foundation invites you to:

   -

   the upcoming Wikimedians for Sustainable Development meeting on 21
   February at 11:00am UTC [3]
   -

   Our next virtual office hour on 25 February 2021 at 3:00pm UTC via
   zoom.[4]



If you are interested, but can’t attend the meeting: you can also join the
Wikimedians for Sustainable Development communication channels for general
updates [5] or the WikiForHumanRights telegram channel, where we will share
more updates for organizers [6].



Please forward this information to movement organizers who you think will
be interested.


Looking forward to talking with you soon!



Alex Stinson

[Wikimedia-l] WikiGap Challenge

2021-03-12 Thread Eric Luth 
Hi everyone,

On International Women's Day, we launched this year's edition of the
global WikiGap
Challenge . Anyone, who
wants to write articles about women on Wikipedia, is welcome to join.

This year, we teamed up with the UN Human Rights Office, which proposed a
list of women active within the field of human rights. These articles
 yield bonus points
in the challenge.

The challenge runs until 8 April. If you think of someone you think would
be interested in joining, feel free to forward the invitation.

The winner receives some really nice prizes
.

Wish you all a great weekend!

Best

[Wikimedia-l] Invitation for Wikimedia Research Office hours March 16, 2021

2021-03-12 Thread Martin Gerlach 
Hi all,

Join the Research Team at the Wikimedia Foundation [1] for their monthly
Office hours on 2021-03-16 at 16:00-17:00 UTC (9am PT/5pm CET).

To participate, join the video-call via this link [2]. There is no set
agenda - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad
[3] (You can do this after you join the meeting, too.), otherwise you are
welcome to also just hang out. More detailed information (e.g. about how to
attend) can be found here [4].

Through these office hours, we aim to make ourselves more available to
answer some of the research related questions that you as Wikimedia
volunteer editors, organizers, affiliates, staff, and researchers face in
your projects and initiatives. Some example cases we hope to be able to
support you in:

   -

   You have a specific research related question that you suspect you
   should be able to answer with the publicly available data and you don’t
   know how to find an answer for it, or you just need some more help with it.
   For example, how can I compute the ratio of anonymous to registered editors
   in my wiki?
   -

   You run into repetitive or very manual work as part of your Wikimedia
   contributions and you wish to find out if there are ways to use machines to
   improve your workflows. These types of conversations can sometimes be
   harder to find an answer for during an office hour, however, discussing
   them can help us understand your challenges better and we may find ways to
   work with each other to support you in addressing it in the future.
   -

   You want to learn what the Research team at the Wikimedia Foundation
   does and how we can potentially support you. Specifically for affiliates:
   if you are interested in building relationships with the academic
   institutions in your country, we would love to talk with you and learn
   more. We have a series of programs that aim to expand the network of
   Wikimedia researchers globally and we would love to collaborate with those
   of you interested more closely in this space.
   -

   You want to talk with us about one of our existing programs [5].


Hope to see many of you,
Martin (WMF Research Team)
