Impact edit

In the sections below, please describe how the project is related to the Wikimedia mission and Wikimedia's strategic priorities.

Fit to strategy edit

How will this project support the key organizational objectives of
  • increasing reach (more people will access or contribute to Wikipedia or our other projects),
  • participation (more people actually contributing),
  • quality (more content, more useful content, or higher-quality content),
  • credibility (more trust in our projects),
  • organizational maturity and effectiveness (how it will move you or the Wikimedia community forward),
  • or financial sustainability (how it will help you achieve more in the long run)?
This statement should address at least one of the strategic priorities listed here specifically. See WMF Grants Program criteria for decisionmaking.
This project will:
  • increase reach and participation (as more people will contribute to Wikimedia Commons directly (the registration is required to take part) and to the other Wikiprojects via pictures uploaded),
  • quality (more free pictures to illustrate the articles with),
  • credibility (more trust in our projects, f. ex., Wikipedia and Wikivoyage),
  • organizational maturity and effectiveness (we have analyzed our previous mistakes),
  • financial sustainability (we are going to establish new business contacts that may be useful for us in general, and especially for WLM 2013).


Benefits edit

If the project will benefit a specific online community, please tell us.
Ukrainian Wikipedia, Wikinews and Wikivoyage directly. And all the other Wiki projects via Wikimedia Commons pictures


Please provide a brief statement about how the project is related to other work in the Wikimedia movement. For example, does the project fit into a work area such as GLAM, education, organizational development, editor retention, or outreach?
This project falls into Outreach program area since it will be aimed at recruiting and supporting new Wikimedians and building strong relationships with cultural and educational institutions.


If successful, will the project have the potential to be replicated successfully by other individuals, groups, or organizations? Please explain how in 1–2 sentences.
What activities are more to the liking in a specific community cannot be tracked by other means, than by trying and failing, or trying and succeeding. But we believe that our experience may be useful to other chapters that was to have support for their program activities.
