This is your chance to tell your story by using any additional metrics (beyond global metrics) that are relevant to your context, beyond the global metrics above. You should be reporting against the targets you set at the beginning of the year throughout the year. We have provided a template here below for you to report against your targets, but you are welcome to include this information in another way. Also, if you decided not to do a program that was included in your proposal or added a program not in the proposal, please explain this change. More resources for storytelling are at the end of this form. Here are some ways to tell your story.

We encourage you to share your successes and failures and what you are learning. Please also share why are these successes, failures, or learnings are important in your context. Reference learning patterns or other documentation.
Make clear connections between your offline activities and online results, as applicable. For example, explain how your education program activities is leading to quality content on Wikipedia.
We encourage you to tell your story in different ways by using videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, e.g.), compelling quotes, and by linking directly to work you produce. You may highlight outcomes, learning, or metrics this way.
We encourage you to continue using dashboards, progress bars, and scorecards that you have used to illustrate your progress in the past, and to report consistently over time.
You are welcome to use the table below to report on any metrics or measures relevant to your program. These may or may not include the global metrics you put in the overview section above. You can also share your progress in another way if you do not find a table like this useful.

Edit-a-thons edit

Telugu Wikipedia Workshop in JKCC, Guntur : As the first workshop held in Jagarlmudi Kuppuswamy Chowdary College (JKCC), Guntur, the event helped student participants create Wikipedia accounts and familiarized them with the guidelines and style of Wikipedia editing. The student Wikipedians later went on to improve Telugu Wikipedia quality by adding images to articles and fixing dead-end pages that do not have any inter-wiki links.
Approaching communities of interest : CIS-A2K has carried out a pilot project to conduct mini-workshops for individuals and groups of experts in various fields, including literature, films, science, and sports, as an approach to recruit new Wikipedians and improve the online content. The target experts, or the "communities of interest", contribute to Telugu Wikipedia by expanding content coverage, providing expertise and resources in various fields, as well as establishing inter-disciplinary and inter-regional networks for the Telugu Wikipedian community. Online and on-site mini-workshops both have been conducted for the communities of interest in Geology and Film Studies.
Expand topic coverage in Telugu Wikipedia : Online edit-a-thons are conducted along with local Wikipedians to improve and create articles in topics that are underrepresented in Telugu Wikipedia, such as tourist sites in Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. CIS-A2K also provides guidance and support to community's participation in nationwide edit-a-thons and global initiatives like Wikipedia Asian month. One of the community members observed that these activities help the community to come together and work more collaboratively.

Wikipedia Education Program edit

Telugu Wikipedia workshop in Andhra Loyola College, Vijayawada : From 16 to 18 August 2016, A2K organized a Telugu Wikipedia workshop for students in Andhra Loyola College, Vijayawada. During the event, most students registered accounts and learned the essential skills to contribute to Wikipedia as first-time editors. As many articles in Telugu Wikipedia didn't have images, the student Wikipedians helped improve 118 articles by adding at least one image for each page. The participants also learned to use the content translation tool to translate 31 articles into Telugu Wikipedia. Some also worked on Wikidata and improved 32 items.

Conducting Wikisource sprints edit

Content donation drive: Started in June 2016 and lasted two months, a donation drive was carried out by A2K to relicense 17 books into CC-BY-SA.
Scan-a-thon in Guntur : Andhra Loyola College lecturer and Wikimedian Kola Sekhara received training from CIS-A2K to scan books and clean up scanned images (that have problems with color, definition, etc.) during a three-day scan-a-thon. Nearly 12 books were scanned during the event and were later uploaded to Commons and digitized in Telugu Wikisource.
Telugu Wikisource Sprint in Andhra Loyola College, Vijayawada : The Telugu Wikisource proof reading sprint started with a workshop on 18-20 November 2016. In the event, students learned to OCR and to proofread the OCR-generated text in Telugu Wikisource. The student Wikipedians have devoted their spare time after school (after 3.30 pm) to helping improve Telugu Wikisource and have proof-read more than 2000 Pages.

Skill Building edit

Training sessions in Hyderabad Wikipedia Meetups: As per the request of the Telugu Wikipedia community, CIS-A2K began small-scale training sessions in the Monthly Meetups in Hyderabad. Participants were trained in the use of citation templates and Wikipedia tools such as Twinkle, Wiki To-do, and PrepBio that would make their editing on Wikimedia projects much easier in general. By introducing these training sessions, the meetups have encouraged more new users in the region to attend.

Community engagement edit

Resource Exchange Program : To improve resource availability for Telugu Wikipedians, CIS-A2K has served as a liaison between the Wikipedian community and e-Resource repositories. The resources have helped two Telugu Wikipedians (User:Pranayraj1985 and User:Meena gayathri.s) complete their 100 Wikidays challenge.

To complete my 100Wikidays these resources have been useful, apart from that I thoroughly enjoyed creating articles on History & Personalities of Drama in and around Tenali and I thank (you) for providing me the resource
— User:Pranayraj1985

Telugu Wikipedia stalls in book fairs : Initiated during the mini-TTT in Hyderabad, Telugu Wikipedians proposed the idea of a Wikipedia stall at major book fairs in Telugu-speaking regions. CIS-A2K has supported the community to set up a stalls in events, including Hyderabad Book Festival in late December, and Vijayawada Book Festival, which is considered as one of the largest in India. A similar stall was also set up in the Rajahmundry Book Fair but had a lower participation due to uncontrollable factors. As the events attract large crowds of Telugu-speaking book lovers and writers, community members used the stalls to raise awareness on Telugu Wikipedia by handing out pamphlets and making demonstrations. With the help of the community members, some event-goers had created accounts and learned about basic Wikipedia editing. A readers' survey was also handed out during the events to understand what people would like to read on Telugu Wikipedia.

Quality improvement efforts edit

Know how-Wikipedia content translation tool by Pavan

Machine translations clean up : From 2009 to 2011, Google ran their well-known presentation "Google Translate Project" in Indic Wikipedias. Third party vendors hired by Google had translated articles from English Wikipedia to Telugu Wikipedia (along with many other indic language Wikipedias) using Google's Translation tools. Despite its goal to improve Indic language Wikipedias, the project was considered as vandalization as the pages contain large amount of incomprehensible language, redlinks, template problems, broken file links, etc. With the requests from the Telugu Wikipedians, A2K has helped the community to learn the use of Wikipedia translation tool to rewrite the articles more efficiently. A video tutorial was also created for the purpose. As some Wikipedians reflected that Google Translation Project has created too many unnecessary and low quality articles, a framework has been developed to prioritize which articles to be rewritten, improved, or deleted during edit-a-thons.

Telugu Wikipedia village articles project : In collaboration with Madhav Gadgil, Subodh Kulkarni and Prashanth Pawar, CIS-A2K started a project to improve Telugu village stub articles into start class articles. In the project, the A2K team generates template articles with information gathered from Census of India for Telugu villages and holds interactive sessions with Telugu Wikipedians to follow an established writing style.
