Edit-a-thons edit
On 15 December 2016, an edit-a-thon was conducted in Shivaji University for students and professors of the Political Science Department. Dr. Prakash Pawar, Head of the Department was curating the sessions. In all, 22 new editors began contributing to Wikipedia. This effort is the first step towards building a long term institutional partnership with Shivaji University where many courses are taught entirely in the Marathi language. Upon the successful completion of this event, we were approached by the Department of Mass Communication and the Department of Environmental Science of the University for conducting edit-a-thons for the students and teachers of their department. A significant problem we faced during the event was opening more than six Wikipedia user accounts from a single IP address. The event received media coverage from a leading Marathi language newspaper as well.
Following the success of the first edit-a-thon at Shivaji University, another edit-a-thon was conducted for the students and faculty of the Department of Environment Science, on 23rd December, 2016. Head of the Department, Dr. Prakash Raut was present for the sessions. This edit-a-thon was aimed at creating and editing Wikipedia pages related to environmental issues. A focused effort was also made to create and edit pages related to women environmental activists in India. Extensive discussions were conducted to develop the theme and basic concepts related to these environmental issues. Participants were unaware of Marathi Wikipedia to begin with. During the event, they were trained in basic editing skills and on how to search for concerned articles, categorisations and translations from other language Wikipedias. Majority of the time was devoted to Marathi typing and editing skills. The challenge we faced during this event was the lack of preparation regarding the content on environmental issues. The problem of opening more than six accounts from a single IP address, however, was resolved this time round. A timely request was raised on Phabricator five days prior to the event which made it possible for us to open 25 new user accounts on Marathi Wikipedia.
Exploring new cities and Awareness generation events edit
- CIS-A2K & Jalbiradari shared Marathi Wikipedia demonstration stall at Maha-Agro, big agricultural exhibition organised by State Govt. of Maharashtra held at Aurangabad from 24-27 December 2016.

Resources edit
Resources to plan for measurement edit
- Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
- Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
- Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
