Following the Wikipedia 101 Education Set for Beginners, which was created as a result of a partnership established in the Let's Connect program, the Wikipedia 201 project was implemented by User:Kurmanbek (Y. Caner Özyayıkçı). Within the scope of the project, Wikipedians who volunteered from Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey participated in the shootings at RGB Studios within the Faculty of Communication of Istanbul Bilgi University. The videos were uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and WMTR YouTube account.

Students from RGB Studio took part in the shooting and editing process of the videos (Ahmet Buğra Çelik, C. Alim Sarı and Taylan Ukşal). Alim (User:Oxorca) opened a Wikipedia account for himself during the project process because it caught his interest, and now he also produces content as a Wikipedian. He also serves as the vice president of Istanbul Bilgi University Wikipedia Student Club.

Topics

Wikipedians contributed to the project and a total of 12 videos were shot:

  • User:Kurmanbek - Introduction
  • User:Zafer - Flickr to Commons, Wikidata language connection, Create a Wikidata object, Navigation template, Fair Use, Tables
  • User:Kadı - User roles in Wikipedia, File renaming on Wikimedia Commons

Result

With this project, a education set was created where users who cannot attend face-to-face or online Wikipedia events can always find answers to their questions. Thus, knowledge equality, which is the main pillar of the Wikimedia Movement Strategy, was achieved. Together with Wikipedia 101, 201 has become a corpus about Wikipedia’s Turkish language. Also we are waiting with great excitement and happines for the Wikipedia 201 education set, consisting of a total of 12 videos, to be translated into other languages!
