Activities

edit

Wikimedians of Korea user group (UG KO) and w:Seoul Museum of Art (SeMA) will hold an Edit-a-thon in the Main Building of SeMA, Seoul, South Korea on September 19, 2015. We will invite women who are interested in female painters and their work but hesitate to create new articles or edit existed articles in cooperation with Ewha Womans University Asian Center for Women Studies. Before the event, we hold a promotion event at w:Yonsei University to explain our event's goal and wikitext on August 20. Also, any people can apply for participation in the event via website that SeMA will build. We will create a project page on Korean Wikipedia, and write down a list of articles that we need to create or edit before the Edit-a-thon. In the event, we will deliver a short lecture on basic wikitext, and 3 to 5 Wikimedia project users and 2 curators from SeMA will help attendees to edit Wikipedia or search multi-media files in Wikimedia Commons.

Impact

edit

We expect to improve quality and quantity of articles about women painter and their works. By editing these articles, women attendees can naturally have skills to edit Wikipedia and use other sister projects. We can also contribute to weakening serious gender gap in Wikimedia projects.

Target readership

edit

Because we hold the event in South Korea, we will mainly contribute to Korean Wikipedia.

Fit with strategy

edit
  • Increasing participation - We will contact woman institutions to invite attendees. SeMA will create website and on-line banner to advertise this project. Also we will distribute media metarials to new companies.
  • Increasing quality - We will print very short and easy explanations about Wikitext on the papers. Skilled Wikimedia project users will help them to edit articles and keep the policies and guidelines of Wikimedia projects.
  • Increasing reach - There are very few articles about female artist and their works in Korean Wikipedia. By creating and improving the articles, we can give more chance that people who have an interest in women art contact to Korean Wikipedia.

Measures of success

edit

Please provide a list of both quantitative and qualitative criteria that will be used determine how successful the project is. You will need to report on the success of the project according to these measures after the project is completed. See the PEG Program Resources for suggested measures of success. Note: In addition to your project-specific measures of success, you will also be asked to report on some Global Metrics at the end of your final report. Please keep this in mind as you plan, and we'll support you as you begin your project.

We expect following results.

  • 120 70 participants (Maximum)
    • 100 50 new users (Expected)
    • 100 50 female participants (Expected)
  • 60 articles edited or created

Risks

edit
  • Too few participation
We will meet a staff of Ewha Womans University Asian Center for Women's Studies and other universities in Seoul to invite women students. SeMA will build a special website for the event and create an advertising web banner. This web banner will be distributed under CC BY-SA 3.0. UG KO will create a special project page and link the page to the user news section on Korean Wikipedia.
  • Low productivity
Because we think that most of participants are not used to editing Wikipedia, quality of articles edited in the event may be lower than we expect. We will upload some materials on the register web site to study basic concepts of Wikipedia in advance. We will deliver a short introduction on wikitext and distribute two page cheat sheets to attendees before the Edit-a-thon. Skilled Wikipedia users will help them to improve the quality of articles written by new users.
