Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! == Global Metrics Review [1] ==
The Community Resources team, in conjunction with the Program Capacity & Learning team, are embarking on a retrospective and update of Global Metrics [1], which includes a comprehensive retrospective on the benefits and issues associated with Global Metrics and it's ecosystem (e.g. training, resources, tools). Participants are encouraged to provide their feedback, either publicly on the project talk page, or privately via survey. We look forward to hearing the different views on successes and challenges of these metrics as we work to develop efforts to understand movement impact [1]. == New Global Metrics Magic Button [2] == The Program Capacity and Learning team and the Analytics team at WMF have been working on making calculating Global Metrics easier. We’ve created a Global Metrics Magic Button* [2] that calculates four Global Metrics (newly registered editors, active editors, bytes added and removed, and articles created or improved.) Using this button, it should take only a minute or two to calculate these Global Metrics for a program. == Join the Historic Data Campaign for Education Programs! [3] == We are collecting historical data from all education programs to update our narrative and to better communicate our contributions to the Wikimedia Movement and the world. This campaign seeks to include each and every country that has participated in the Wikipedia Education Program. We are still waiting to hear from 50 programs. Join the campaign! Visit the campaign page on Outreach [3] to learn more. You can also follow the phabricator task to track the campaign’s progress [3]. == Help The Wikipedia Library reflect on #1lib1ref [4] == The Wikipedia Library Team ran a social media campaign from 15-23 January 2016, asking the libraries world to “Imagine a World where Every Librarian Added One More Reference to Wikipedia.” This campaign engaged librarians all over the world in a conversation about how librarianship can benefit and help the global audience of Wikipedia. By providing the libraries community targeted messaging with clear calls to actions to make a small edit to Wikipedia, adding a reference, we created a global campaign under the hashtag that continues to spread -- and be a reference point for future outreach to library communities. We have documented both the outcomes of the campaign and the experiments that we ran as part of the campaign [4]. We are looking for feedback on what we learned, please join the conversations. As always, stay up to date with upcoming news and events by following our events page [5]! *María Cruz * \\ Communications and Outreach Coordinator, L&E Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mc...@wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> [1] Global Metrics Review: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Global_metrics/Review [2] New Global Metrics Magic Button https://metrics.wmflabs.org/reports/program-global-metrics [3] Historic Data Campaign for Education Programs: * Campaing page: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/Education/Historic_data * Phabricator task: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T114069 [4] Help The Wikipedia Library reflect on #1lib1ref: * Lessons Learned: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons * Discussion: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Talk:The_Wikipedia_Library/1Lib1Ref/Lessons [5] Upcoming Events Section in Evaluation Portal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/News#upcoming-events
