Goals edit
Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
- During the 6 months project period, a team of 4 regularly met *(with a few guests joining from time to time) on a weekly basis to learn about editing Wikimedia platforms (Wikidata, Commons and Wikipedia), to plan and inspect content which will be added to these platforms. Meetings were led by WiR while other members of the team were mostly new editors without much editing experience. After this period we have a core group of people who understand the basics of each platform and a wider group of people (maybe 15-20) who are well informed about Wikimedia and our efforts *(another 150-200 people got the information via announcements and presentations). In the process we established a routine of using WM Chat, WM Meet and gained some insights of OpenRefine and Wikibase *(we hope to further pick up).
- Our content was based mostly on the Clubture Network archive (organizations in non-institutional culture in Croatia that exchange programmes throughout Clubture Network, but also about wider non-institutional culture in Croatia). We informed Clubture Network organizations about our work, and also gave presentations and opportunities to learn about editing. We expected and hoped for a bigger response and interest among organizations, than it was, but still we think that we have set some good base info and content about non-institutional culture in Croatia on Wikimedia platforms. We hope to further this in the future with other partners. We are content and optimistic over advancing this work with more resources in 2023.

Learning edit
Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
- What did not work so well?
- What would you do differently next time?
Part of the content that we wanted to publish on Wikipedia, for example about active cultural organizations, admins considered irrelevant and suggested to erase them. Also we encountered some problems with uploading photos about Clubture projects but hope we will solve it soon.
Because some of the content was questionable from notability point of view we now consider that before creating Wikipedia articles, we should have started with collecting info, references and media content in Wikispore. It is more flexible and easier to create and organize content in Wikispore, and after adapting it to move the content to Wikipedia.
