Re: [Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

2021-05-09 Thread Yaroslav Blanter 
Hi Ciell,

thanks a lot.

I am using this for the new districts (raions)

https://www.minregion.gov.ua/press/news/novi-rajony-karty-sklad/

and this for hromadas (sub-district divisions)

https://gromada.info/ru/region/%D0%94%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%BF%D0%B5%D1%82%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F-%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB%D0%B0%D1%81%D1%82%D1%8C/%D0%9C%D0%B5%D0%B6%D0%B5%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B9%D0%BE%D0%BD/

(this is just an example, one would need to use dropdown menu to go to
other items).

but unfortunately none of these is in English, and I am not aware of the
English sources. Currently, on the English Wikipedia I have done Chernihiv,
Cherkasi, Chernovtsi, and Ternopil Oblasts (4 out of 24), everything
related to them should be up to date (I might have made typos, which is
inevitable with this number of edits, but I hope I did not introduce
serious errors). Currently I am doing Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. All pages on
raions should be up to date, there is still some work to do, but at least
they do not contain wrong information.

I will be happy to answer any questions. It is probably easier onwiki, my
username is Ymblanter.

Best regards
Yaroslav

Hi Yaroslav,

Is there a (online) source for the new administrative divisions we can base
our edits on?
I'm sure several people across different languages on this list would like
to help out with the updates.

2021-05-07 Thread Anton Protsiuk 
Thanks for your work, Yaroslav!

Although this challenge is obviously not focused on the specific problem
you mentioned, we do pay attention to improving articles in general. For
example, as noted in the announcement, we have prepared the list of most
important stubs for each CEE language edition:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021/Structure/Ukraine/Stubs

The contest in general is also not focused only on creating new articles,
though specifics might depend on each language edition. For example, in the
Ukrainian-language edition of the contest, which ran throughout April, we
were trying to incentivize improvement of existing articles in various
ways; we'll try to share lessons learned with the international community
once the results are ready.

Not to undermine an importance of creation of new articles, but to note
that after the reform of the administrative divisions of Ukraine in July
2020 dozens, if not hundreds of thousands of articles across many projects
now contain wrong information (well, not up-to-date information). In the
English Wikipedia, I was correcting it pretty much single-handedly since
the last year, and I will probably finish correcting it by the end of this
year (though occasionally I see people reverting me saying "information is
redundant" or smth similar). I see that on all other projects, including
Ukrainian and Russian Wikipedias which I would normally expect to take the
lead, the articles about Ukrainian localities still contain this outdated
information. I do not really expect to be acknowledged for this (looks like
almost nobody cares), but a bit of attention to already existing articles

[Wikimedia-l] Join “CEE Spring” on Wikipedia to help discover Ukraine to the world

2021-05-07 Thread Anton Protsiuk 
Hi everyone!

By the end of May, we at Wikimedia Ukraine invite everyone to join CEE
Spring (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_CEE_Spring_2021) to help
discover Ukraine to the world.

The contest is devoted to improving Wikipedia content about Central and
Eastern Europe across multiple languages; the Central & Eastern European
community of Wikimedians has organized it every year since 2015.

Of course, you can write about many different CEE countries and regions
within the contest, but we at Wikimedia Ukraine are planning to send
special souvenirs for most active contributors to articles about Ukraine
specifically ;)

For the first time, we prepared the top-10 most important articles about
Ukraine that are missing (red links) for each CEE Wikipedia (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313069) and the top-10 important
articles that are too short for each CEE Wikipedia (
https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=11313068).

And we also have the general top-100 list with important topics missing in
many Wikipedias: https://meta.wikimedia.org/?curid=10583331

You can read the full announcement (and share it to help us spread the
world) here:
