English, Hindi, Kannada

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

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.
To begin with I will request people to visit Wikipedia and learn about the meaning, definition about common terms, things that are used in their day to day life.Later I plan to open a discussion Forum with links to Wikipedia, where-in visitors can post their queries and get answers, redirecting them to Wikipedia resources.

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.
I will post surveys, voting or such kind of activities for visitors to give their feedback, that way enabling their interaction and inputs which could play a big role in improving Wikipedia with updated information and addition of new topics, sections too.

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?
This can be discussed later in detail along with project plan that shapes up as we take it forward.

Participants

• Advisor Hello, I'm a law student and I would love to join this idea. Being an Advisor, I can help a lot by bringing in new ideas, making sure that they reach people and for people to react positively to them.

Besides that, I can provide advises on how to attract new people and endorse it by aiming at the particular sections within the ambit provided to us. It would be a great pleasure to join this team. Regards. Valedante (talk) 15:08, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
