[Wikimedia-l] Episode 9 Inspiring Open Podcast episode is out : Helen Turvey

[Florence Devouard]

Hello everyone


I wanted to promote the episode #9 of the Wiki Loves Women Inspiring 
Open podcast.
It features Helen Turvey, who is the Executive Director of the 
Shuttleworth Foundation.


For those who do not know anything about this Foundation, it is an 
organisation set up in January 2001 (am I the only one to be amazed by 
the amount of cool projects and cool orgs set up in January 2001 ?) to 
provide funding for people engaged in social change. 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttleworth_Foundation. They use a 
fellowship model (rather than a more traditional grant system). Notable 
past and present fellows includeMarcin Jakubowski 
(who develops theOpen 
Source Ecology 
project),Rufus 
Pollock (co-founder of 
theOpen Knowledge Foundation 
) andMark 
Surman (now Executive 
Director ofMozilla Foundation 
).



In the podcast, Helen provides deep thoughts and super cool insights 
about philanthropy, which I think any person currently beneficiary of 
funding (or interesting into being) from the wikimedia ecosystem or 
seeking funding from non wikimedian grant makers, could be interested 
about.


Listen to her here :
https://podcast.wikiloveswomen.org/podcast-item/helen-turvey/

Summary keywords : women, philanthropy, open, funding, organisation, 
inequity, administrative justice



Cheers

Flo

[Wikimedia-l] Re: @Wikipedia losing opportunities in Twitter

[Galder Gonzalez Larrañaga]

Thanks Lauren, I have followed there, because I think we are measuring two very different things when talking about engagement.Have a good dayGalder 2022(e)ko uzt. 18(a) 19:48 erabiltzaileak hau idatzi du (Lauren Dickinson ):Hi Galder, I just left a more detailed reply on Meta-Wiki so we can continue the conversation there. In summary, we refer to a few different sources to benchmark our engagement rates on @Wikipedia. According to Rival IQ, the median Twitter engagement rate for brands across all industries is 0.037%; for nonprofits specifically, it is 0.054%. According to Adobe, "most would consider 0.5% to be a good engagement rate for Twitter, with anything above 1% great." @Wikipedia Twitter's engagement rate, according to the dashboard we access when logged-in to the account, over the last 28 day period is 2.7%. In May and June, it was 2.6% and 2.2%, respectively. I hope the resources shared are helpful for your management of @euwikipedia. It's difficult to draw direct comparisons between the @euwikipedia and @wikipedia accounts due to the difference in follower size and our more global focus, as well as the objectives we are prioritizing to support the movement but also build resonance among groups who can help us to push forward our knowledge equity goals. At the same time, a straight comparison—with the understanding that I cannot see the analytics for the @euwikipedia account—reveals more retweets, likes, and comments on the @Wikipedia account. I'd like to better understand however if we are defining engagement differently. Also, an overall higher engagement rate from Twitter's analytics could be a result of the low base effect (comparing two accounts of different sizes).  Please note that I am managing a family commitment this week. I am happy to continue this conversation on Meta-Wiki when I return. Also, Andy, we will follow up this week regarding your questions about the @WiktionaryUsers and @Wiktionary accounts. We do not currently have access but are exploring potential options via Twitter now. Thank you, all, for your comments.

I wanted to add that we very regularly refer to the ITN/DYK sections (and OTD, too) when planning out the content calendar and responding to current news and topics. These are great, natural sources of topic inspiration for the Wikipedia channels. As mentioned, we welcome other ideas for articles / topics to share. I understand that the form may not always be the best way to do this. So, I invite you to share ideas and feedback on Meta-Wiki (we just did a light clean up of the page). I am also a member of the Facebook group (Wikimedia social media hub) that Andy shared; I see most posts, but the form and Meta-Wiki are the best way to reach me. For additional perspective, based on the note from Galder, there are currently two staff, including myself working on digital communications strategy at the Foundation, which includes both the Wikimedia and Wikipedia social accounts, as well as our website and blogs. Across all, we prioritize showing up with a consistent voice and identity, so through association, people understand our work better. Our strategy is global and we try hard to give equal weight to topics that reflect the diversity of our world and movement—keeping track of movement happenings, edit-a-thons, user group initiatives, current events, and trends in places across the world. Rather than focusing on putting out a large quantity of content, our goal with each post is to make people understand the diverse work that the movement does and the diverse range of knowledge that can be discovered on Wikipedia. This fosters understanding with those who may not have deep knowledge of how the movement works and what we stand for, but who may want to join us if they did. In addition to our regular content, we must be constantly vigilant and address potential misunderstandings about our work and projects. We monitor social chatter closely and strive to ensure that our content and replies meet the standards that uphold movement values. We track the metrics and impact of our social media efforts and find that our strategy is working well. For example, over the last year, we saw a 7% increase in Wikipedia's Twitter following and a consistent

Hi Galder, I just left a more detailed reply on Meta-Wiki

so we can continue the conversation there. In summary, we refer to a few
different sources to benchmark our engagement rates on @Wikipedia.
According to Rival IQ
, the
median Twitter engagement rate for brands across all industries is 0.037%;
for nonprofits specifically, it is 0.054%. According to Adobe
,
"most would consider 0.5% to be a good engagement rate for Twitter, with
anything above 1% great." @Wikipedia Twitter's engagement rate, according
to the dashboard

we access when logged-in to the account, over the last 28 day period is
2.7%. In May and June, it was 2.6% and 2.2%, respectively. I hope the
resources shared are helpful for your management of @euwikipedia.

It's difficult to draw direct comparisons between the @euwikipedia and
@wikipedia accounts due to the difference in follower size and our more
global focus, as well as the objectives we are prioritizing to support the
movement but also build resonance among groups who can help us to push
forward our knowledge equity goals. At the same time, a straight
comparison—with the understanding that I cannot see the analytics for the
@euwikipedia account—reveals more retweets, likes, and comments on the
@Wikipedia account. I'd like to better understand however if we are
defining engagement differently. Also, an overall higher engagement rate
from Twitter's analytics could be a result of the low base effect
 (comparing two accounts of
different sizes).

Please note that I am managing a family commitment this week. I am happy to
continue this conversation on Meta-Wiki

when I return.

Also, Andy, we will follow up this week regarding your questions
 about the
@WiktionaryUsers and @Wiktionary accounts. We do not currently have access
but are exploring potential options via Twitter now.

Thank you, all, for your comments.
