Hi all, I'm excited to share this blog post <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2023/11/20/3000-new-medical-illustrations-on-wikimedia-commons-this-is-how-you-can-contribute/> [1] about the first larger project that the Helpdesk <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Helpdesk> of the Content Partnerships Hub initiative has carried out, in close collaboration with Netha Hussain: “In receiving help for doing this project, I will be able to acquire the skill sets required for batch uploading similar images from medical repositories. I maintain a list of open access medical repositories here <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Netha_Hussain/Medical_Images?wprov=wppw2>, and the skills I learn from doing the SMART SERVIER project will eventually be helpful for other content partnership programs, particularly those of which I have named in the repository.” In this project, 3,000 medical illustrations from the laboratory Smart Servier have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons. The blog post explains how you can make use of the images. Netha explains that the value of these illustrations is that they can help illustrate complex biological processes and concepts in a better way, especially where actual photographs would be hard/impossible to create (such as things happening on the molecular level), where actual photographs would be disturbing or offensive (genital organs or obesity, e.g.), of where simple representations are preferred rather than complex diagrams/photos, such as on Simple Wikipedia or Wiktionary. If you want to help add these images to Wikipedia pages, the illustrations have been added to galleries, which makes them easier to browse <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:SMART-Servier_Medical_Art/Galleries>. You can also help improve the metadata of the images, to add more structured data! All files in the category that have a depict statement can be accessed at this link: https://w.wiki/7eZ4 And all files in the category without a depict statement can be found at this link: https://w.wiki/7eY$ Best, *Eric Luth* Projektledare engagemang och påverkan | Project Manager, Involvement and Advocacy Wikimedia Sverige eric.l...@wikimedia.se +46 (0) 765 55 50 95 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige.

[Wikimedia-l] The launch of the Content Partnerships Helpdesk
Hi everyone, A while back, Wikimedia Sverige announced the upcoming Helpdesk of the Content Partnerships Hub, a service to support Wikimedians that want to work with partners to share content on the Wikimedia platforms. Now, when the Helpdesk is finally up and running, the next thing needed are your requests for help! I just published a blog post on Diff <https://diff.wikimedia.org/2022/09/02/do-you-want-support-with-content-partnerships-the-helpdesk-is-here-to-help/> [1] where I try to outline the process. A lot is still under development, but you can already now read more on the Helpdesk portal on Meta <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Content_Partnerships_Hub/Helpdesk> [2]. The basic idea, however, is that anyone that wants support with a project sends an email to *helpd...@wikimedia.se *. Describe what you want to do and what you want to achieve, and in what way it contributes to filling a gap on the platforms, and the Helpdesk will do what it can to help. The support can be anything from technical and batch uploads to policy-making or advocacy. We look forward to getting your proposals! We also want to invite Wikimedians to join the work. We plan to establish working groups to support with anything from communication to advocacy and actual uploads. If you are a volunteer or an affiliate that wants to support, please reach out as well!

[Wikimedia-l] Re: Reflections about Visa situation for Wikimedians
I agree with the others that you are raising a really important point, Anass. Thanks for that. I have tried to support visa applicants to two international Wikimedia events in Stockholm, the Wikimedia Diversity Conference in 2017 and Wikimania in 2019. It was frustrating even for me as organizer, and I can't even imagine how frustrating and disheartening it must be for the visa applicants. After these two occasions, I have made a few simple conclusions. - If it is of high priority that visa applications are accepted, more funding for supporting the applications than one might think is needed. It is time consuming to support visa applications, but it does make a difference. - One reason why there needs to be plenty of funding for supporting the applications is that the embassies, at least the Swedish ones, work independently of each other. We tried to develop one process and timeline, but it failed because of all the embassies' own procedures and timelines. It is close to impossible to develop one structure or process, but support needs to be given to each applicant in their own process. If that is done, it does however increase the likelihood that the visa is approved. - For Wikimania, we were even more actively engaged in the visa processes as compared to the Diversity Conference – as we seemed to notice that it made a difference. We reached out to the embassies informing them about the upcoming conference, we were in close communication with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that organized a reception during Wikimania for WikiGap organizers, and even successfully appealed a rejection. All this took a lot of time, and not all applications were successful. But a higher proportion was successful as compared to the Diversity Conference. - We are not sure, but WikiGap *seems* to have made a difference in many embassies. That is, the Swedish embassy in a given country has after the WikiGap events a relationship to the Wikimedia movement, and might even know about the applicants, which in many cases *seems* to have led to more approvals. I am not sure if that is possible to repeat in more instances, but for us it shows at least that building relations might help. I don't think, however, that we will ever reach 100% approvals. I thus also wholeheartedly agree with the previous message that we need to explore successful person / remote integration. I also want to acknowledge the fact that I write this as a previous organizer. As the situation is of course much harder for all applicants, for me it is not about complaining, but trying to rase a few points that can perhaps increase the probability of approvals in more cases.

[Wikimedia-l] WikiGap Update
Hi all, We are at the moment working hard for the preparations for this year's WikiGap Campaign. As with most campaigns and events in the movement, we are working hard to adapt to a completely digital campaign. I wanted to give a few updates. First, we are working hard to develop some guidelines for a successful virtual WikiGap event. Our hope is that it can easily be modified to work for any digital editathon. The goal is to have it finalized and distributed by early next week. Secondly, we have started a Facebook group for WikiGap organizers, participants, and supporters. If you are interested in organizing or taking part in a WikiGap event, you can join the Facebook group. We will give more regular updates there. Here is the link: https://www.facebook.com/groups/858908041562951 Thirdly, we summarized the outcome from last year's campaign a few days back. In spite of Covid-19, which forced a large amount of the events to be either canceled or entirely digital, 1,500 editors created or improved more than 20,000 articles, articles that in 2020 had more than 42 million views. Well done to everyone who took part!

[Wikimedia-l] WikiGap 2021
Hi! 2020 is slowly drawing to a close. When we have now summarized the WikiGap Campaign in 2020, we see that – despite the ongoing pandemic! – you guys have gathered almost 1,500 editors, and 250 new ones, to edit 19,000 articles and create almost 2,000 new ones about women! The almost 30,000 edits (!) have been viewed by just short than 45 million times in 2020 alone. Several affiliates have held their first events, and we are happy to see that more and more people and organizations are interested in joining the campaign. We are, as always, completely astonished! Well done, all WikiGap organizers. WikiGap <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap> is an annual campaign starting with the International Women’s Day in March, to bridge the gender gap on Wikipedia. It is co-organized by Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Swedish embassies across the world, Wikimedia affiliates, and potentially other partners. With this email, we also want to announce that we are beginning preparations for the WikiGap Campaign in 2021. The world looks nothing like what we are used to, and we will do our best as global coordinators to find a model that can work for both digital and physical events. If you want to organize a WikiGap event in 2021, feel free to reach out to us! We will happily help you with the next steps. If you already have decided that you want to take part, you can list your event here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap/2021/Events We also plan to experiment with international partnerships and new concepts for international coordination next year. Stay tuned! In the meanwhile, we wish you happy holidays, a Merry Christmas for those who celebrate, and a happy new year.

[Wikimedia-l] Sharing experiences from Wikimedia Sverige's digital AGM
Hi all, One and a half week ago, Wikimedia Sverige held its annual meeting. Due to the circumstances, it was held entirely virtually for the first time. For this occasion – to make sure that everything worked out well and that all members and participants felt safe with the tools we used – we developed a set of material. We hope that this might be of use for other communities as well. Parts of it has been translated into English, and most of it is gathered on a new page we created here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Digital_Annual_General_Meeting. This material covers a range of topics, from an investigation of which video conference platform to choose, to procedural rules and division of roles during the meeting. Our experience is that this supporting material has been helpful in creating a well-hosted meeting. We are also eager to see what other communities have created that can be valuable to the community, so please, feel free to share your own material, as well as your experiences from your virtual and online AGMs. Best, *Eric Luth* Projektledare engagemang och påverkan | Project Manager, Involvement and Advocacy Wikimedia Sverige eric.l...@wikimedia.se +46 (0) 765 55 50 95 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige.

[Wikimedia-l] Winner of WikiGap Challenge 2020 announced
Dear all, From 8 March to 8 April, the second edition of the WikiGap Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge> took place. The WikiGap Challenge is a challenge aiming to create or improve articles about women on Wikipedia. It is a part of the WikiGap campaign, organized by Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Swedish embassies and Wikimedia affiliates across the world. This year, we teamed up with the UN Human Rights office, who proposed a list of 20 women human rights defenders <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/List> that had no Wikipedia articles (or in only a very few languages). These articles gave bonus points in the challenge. It took some extra time this year to finalize the results from the WikiGap Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge>, but now we’re done! And I must confess that we are quite happy with the results. General outcome - 72 competitors with actual edits (90 signed up) - 3,224 articles created or improved. - 461 Wikidata objects improved - Edits made in 38 languages. - Editors have contributed 61,591,425 bytes, or roughly 61,5 megabytes. Human Rights articles - There are 20 women in the list. - 338 articles were created about these women during the challenge. - The articles have in total been created in 32 different languages. - The article about Bogaletch Gebre <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bogaletch_Gebre> is available in the highest amount of languages, 24 languages. - Anna Sharyhina has the largest total size among all languages, with 192,918 bytes (192kb). - The largest individual article is the article about Anna Sharyhina in Ukrainian <https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A8%D0%B0%D1%80%D0%B8%D0%B3%D1%96%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%93%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BD%D0%B0_%D0%91%D0%BE%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%96%D0%B2%D0%BD%D0%B0> . We can now also announce that the winner of the WikiGap Challenge this year is Andriy Gritsenko – who also won last year! During the WikiGap Challenge 2020, Andriy wrote or improved 416 articles about women during the month. You can read more on his motivation and engagement in a piece on our blog: [link] Andriy gets to visit the UN Human Rights office in Geneva when the world so permits, as the first prize. Congrats, Andriy! His entries, and the rest of the top 10, can be found here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge/Results We also wrote a piece on the Wikimedia Sverige blog about it, which can be found here: https://wikimedia.se/2020/04/24/vem-blev-vinnare-i-wikigap-challenge-2020/ Best, *Eric Luth* Projektledare engagemang och påverkan | Project Manager, Involvement and Advocacy Wikimedia Sverige eric.l...@wikimedia.se +46 (0) 765 55 50 95 Stöd fri kunskap, bli medlem i Wikimedia Sverige.

Re: [Wikimedia-l] Halfway through the WikiGap Challenge
Hi all, I wanted to give a quick update around the WikiGap Challenge. The first prize of the challenge has been updated due to the Covid-19 pandemic, as it is unlikely that it will be possible to take part in any events in June. That doesn't mean that the prize won't be awarded! We have agreed with the UN Human Rights office of a new wording, that sounds: "The winner will receive the opportunity to participate in events in Geneva, Switzerland, organized by UN Human Rights. The precise time and occasion of the events will be announced later and depend on the evolving situation of the global COVID-19 pandemic, as we want to protect the safety and wellbeing of the winner and others." This means that the winner will take part in a similar event when the status of the world so permits. Good luck to those of you competing for the last 1,5 week!

Hi all, Now, the WikiGap Challenge is live, running until 8 April! 37 participants are already signed up, creating, improving and referencing articles about women. After one day, about 60 articles have been created in a dozen languages, and many more improved upon. Last year, in total 86 editors participated. Can we beat that this year?

[Wikimedia-l] WikiGap 2020
Hi all! As many of you probably know, WikiGap <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap> is organized annually around International Women's Day 8 March. It is an initiative aiming to close the gender gap in Wikipedia, and is organized as a cooperation between Wikimedia Sverige, the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs, Swedish embassies and Wikimedia affiliates and volunteers around the world. It was first organized in March 2018 and now we would like to do it for the third time! We are planning to organize several Wikipedia edit-a-thons around 8 March 2020. The purpose of the edit-a-thons is to create more articles about women, as a way of building a more gender-equal Internet and a more gender-equal world (a manual can be found here <http://www.swemfa.se/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/manual-2019.pdf>). At this point, we have started the preparations for WikiGap 2020 <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap>! I have reached out individually to previous organizers, but if there are affiliates or volunteers who haven't taken part in the initiative before but would like to – you still have the chance! Feel free to reach out to me for any questions. If there are previous organizers who I have missed to contact, feel free to reach out then too! If you have already decided upon a date and started the preparations, please fill in the Events <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap/2020/Events> list at Meta. In that way, we know if you are planning an event and can reach out to you with more information. WikiGap Challenge and Photo Exhibition As last year, we will also initiate a WikiGap Challenge, encouraging article creation on women throughout the Spring. Last year, the winner Andriy Hrytsenko <https://si.se/en/wikigap-has-brought-us-27-000-articles-closer-to-a-gender-equal-internet/> , from Ukrainian Wikipedia, got a Wikimania scholarship as a reward. The challenge will be online and coordinated on Meta, as last year <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiGap_Challenge>. For the first time this year, we are aiming to produce a photo exhibition, in digital and physical form, to highlight several of the great articles that have been written. Reach out to us if you have interest in hosting it! Our preliminary idea is to produce it with A4 photos to print and text in two languages, the original and English, besides.

[Wikimedia-l] COH Challenge
Dear Wikimedians, 1-31 July, Wikimedia Sverige and UNESCO co-arranges the second competition as part of the Connected Open Heritage <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage> project. The competition, called the COH Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage_Challenge>, will focus on adding great, new images to articles about cultural heritage uploaded as part of the project. As part of the COH project, more than 12,000 images have been uploaded on Commons <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Connected_Open_Heritage_Challenge/List>. The goal is thus to make sure that these images are used on Wikipedia. To ensure a qualitative approach, only 5 images per article (with image captions) will be awarded points. Twice the points are awarded if the article with the added image is also improved. Some of you may recall the previous competition, the UNESCO Challenge, where the focus was on improving articles! The results were great. 96 users registered, and more than 8 million bytes of data were created. We hope that many of you wish to take part in this competition as well. Just as last time, nice prizes are awarded to the winners.

[Wikimedia-l] UNESCO Challenge
Dear Wikimedians, On 18 April (today), the International Day for Monuments and Sites is celebrated. On the same day, the first edition of the UNESCO Challenge <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/UNESCO_Challenge> will also take place. The challenge will last for a full month. The UNESCO Challenge is a challenge co-arranged by UNESCO, the Swedish National Heritage Board and Wikimedia Sverige, with the purpose to improve Wikipedia articles on world heritage sites. UNESCO are going to release a couple of thousand images (they will be added in this category <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Images_from_UNESCO_2017-04>), and a lot of Open Access texts about the sites, which may be used in the challenge. Write in whatever language you like! You find the page for participation and points registration here <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/UNESCO_Challenge/Participants>. Please help us spread the word! *Eric Luth,* Wikimedia Sverige ___ Wikimedia-l mailing list, guidelines at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Mailing_lists/Guidelines and https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia-l New messages to: Wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Unsubscribe: https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimedia-l, <mailto:wikimedia-l-requ...@lists.wikimedia.org?subject=unsubscribe>
