Activities edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

  1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of edit-a-thons or trainings?

A preliminary training will be organized to acquaint new editors and brush up existing editors after which two edit-a-thons will follow to garner contributions from the community.

2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages. You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

A notice of this proposal has been published on the WUGN talk page. It will also be announced on the Wikimedia User Group Nigeria mailing list, and social media platforms.

3. How will you let participants know about the edit-a-thon? In what ways will you be communicating with them? For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings

New editors will be added to the WikiClub LASU whatsapp group after the event where we keep them  updated with latest information on the Wikimedia projects.

For the sub projects – WikiClub LASU Community registration and WikiClub LASU expansion project, the former is subject to the school’s policy and both may continue/spill over to the next administration depending on response from students in LASU Ojo campus for the latter and the student’s affairs response time for the registration.
