Improving the Wikimedia movement’s work with content partners

Policy-Making and Advocacy

What this means

The Helpdesk wants to support you on your way towards a successful content partnership. In many cases, the hurdle can be lack of freely licensed material, legislation that makes it hard for you to work or a lack of knowledge in your surroundings about free knowledge and the Wikimedia platforms.

If you want support with this kind of work, directly or with education material and information, you have come to the right place. This page explains how you can get support with advocacy and policy-making, in favor of more freely licensed content through partners on the Wikimedia platforms.

Our hope is that we, together, can build more common knowledge around policy-making and advocacy, so that in the end, the entire movement builds capacity for more free knowledge in the world.

How the Helpdesk can help

The Helpdesk can support in various ways:

By putting you in contact with people with previous experience or knowledge
By helping draft, compile or find material to support free knowledge-related advocacy
By helping you to crowdsource and brainstorm arguments to convince content partners to license freely
By putting you in contact with Wikimedians who have been in similar situations
By giving advice on copyright-related issues (note that it is not legal advice)
