[Wikimediaindia-l] How I told them: Answer about the outreach session
I simply told them : All the discussions and exercises of this particular session will be very boring, if you are not really interested to know more details about WP editing. Even if you don't attend, you can learn all these details later, gradually through experience or with a little help from an experienced editor. So, if your are not really interested plz don't attend this particular session to please me which will ultimately kill the excitement (for WP) within you. -- ଧନ୍ୟବାଦ ସହ ମୃତ୍ୟୁଞ୍ଜୟ କର http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:MKar ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
[Wikimediaindia-l] Odia Wikipedia Outreach Programs in Odisha (Mar-Apr)
Hi all Apologies for the delayed report. Odia Wikimedia Community had a very eventful, exciting and constructive weekend last week! i want to share with you a report of 3 (yes THREE!) outreach sessions and the community meet up held between March 30 and April 1. Odia Wikipedia Editing Workshop - Anugul - March 30 *Summary* An Editing Odia Wikipedia workshop was conducted on 30th March at the National Institute of Computer Education, Nalconagar, Anugul. It was attended by 14 newbies. Odia WikipedianMrutyunjay Karhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:MKar conducted the workshop by introducing Odia Wikipedia to the newbies. (In fact, Mrutyunjay single-handedly organized the session and most of the audience were his work colleagues who he had told about Odia Wikipedia.) He talked briefly about Wikipedia, five pillars and policies. Then there was a demonstration session on how to edit Odia Wikipedia. One of the attendees was called up to create his own account and then Mrutyunjaya demonstrated basics of editing by interacting with the audience. Once we had shown everyone this, we invited those who were interested to stay for a more detailed and hands-on editing to stay, and told everyone else they were free to leave. A few of the audience left the lab, and the remaining 9 created their user accounts. 4 of the new wikipedians have made small but significant edits. *Challenges Solutions* - An issue that was faced was that newbies initially had problems typing in Odia. We requested the newbies to check the *Typing Help*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:Help:Typing page to understand the key combination. Mrutyunjaya explained how they can improve by gradual exercise, using the Show Preview option and that making corrections is allowed on Wikipedia. *Next Steps* - Mrutyunjaya will personally interact with the new editors, either 1-on-1 or in groups to give them more support on editing and to address doubts - Mrutyunjaya could conduct more physical meetups in Anugul where help more newbies with editing *Lessons* - Mrutyunjaya's initiative to reach out to his colleagues and friends to introduce them to Odia Wikipedia and to encourage them to learn about editing by attending the session is really interesting because it increases the chances of like-minded folks attending outreach sessions. - When we do outreach sessions, it will be nice to share a small note about the session (with some useful links) beforehand - so that interested participants can read up and be more aware even before the session starts. - The idea of splitting the outreach session is very good because it allowed only the most committed to stay and allowed us to give them much better training. *Odia Wikipedia (Medical) Editing Workshop - Cuttack - March 31* *Summary* A outreach session was organized in SCB Medical College, Cuttack - to try and get newbies to join Odia Wikipedia community, and specifically to support the *WikiProject Medicine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:WP:MED* (where we are trying get the top 70-80 health related articles created in Odia Wikipedia. 21 Medical students attended the session which was attended by Odia Wikipedians Jnanaranjanhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:Jnanaranjan_sahu, Srikant Kedia, Kamalakanta Subha. Jnananranjan explained briefly about basics of Wikipedia. One of the student newbies was invited to create a username. Students were called for demonstration editing. 4[1] of them created usernames. Subha talked briefly about the *WikiProject Medicine*https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/or:WP:MED and aim of the project. Student participants had queries about authenticity of articles, automatic translations, etc. *Challenges Solutions* - Some of the medical students asked questions like How will editing Odia Wikipedia help for our career? or What I will gain from editing Wikipedia? These are standard questions that we all get and we answered them by telling them about how it will help their understanding of their subjects, will improve their writing skills, give them a larger audience for their work, improve their research skills and because it is so much fun! We also spoke about the social benefits of a project like medical articles on Odia Wikipedia and the social. - Lack of computers resulted in a more theoretical discussion rather than a practical editing. *Next Steps* - A proper editing workshop will be organized after the exams are over (in a month) where the students who have attended this session could learn more and do live editing. Local Odia Wikipedians will support them. This time, we will figure out how to make sure that everyone who attends has access to a computer. - Emails with quick instructions will be send on 4th April to the students with specific links to encourage working on various articles from the project page. - Welcome messages have been left on the
