Audience

Who are the people you want to introduce Wikipedia to?

Try to be as specific as possible about this group.
Lecturers and students

In what languages do they search for information, online or otherwise?

Local languages or English.

In what ways does this group communicate with each other?

This can include services and apps in social media, mailing lists, physical spaces like conferences or lectures, or at specific institutions like at a library.
Social networks, messengers and more.

What are some reasons this group would use Wikipedia? How would they benefit from it, or what would they find useful?

Think about what they would be interested in reading and learning about; does Wikipedia provide better access to information this group cares about?
Because there is a lot of useful information to study different domains and in the era of multidisciplinary research it is really crucial to have wide view.

Project idea

What language Wikipedia projects will you promote to new readers?

English

How will you communicate with new readers? Will you be communicating with them online, in-person, or both?

In person during lectures.

Describe your idea to engage new readers. How might it be implemented? What will you tell people about Wikipedia?

Think about the steps that might involved to make this idea happen, and what you might teach people about your experience or others' experiences using Wikipedia.
1. Run webinars to lecturers and TAs to use the Wikipedia resources during study in university. 2. Ask them to explicitly reference Wikipedia resources in their lectures.

How will you know if this project is successful? What are some outcomes that you can share after the project is completed?

If you’re not certain about how to respond to this question when starting your idea, you do not need to answer it right now. Campaign participants and Wikimedia Foundation staff can help you consider some options.
Wikipedia could track the clicks coming from universities resources.

Do you think you can implement this idea? What support do you need?

Do you need people with specific skills or resources to complete this idea? Are there any financial needs for this project? Do you need advising from Wikimedia Foundation staff?
Well I'll review my lectures to explicitly mention Wikipedia as for the rest I guess there are better persons to do webinars.
