Part 1 Understanding your work edit
1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented
We discussed the challenges faced by participants during the previous training and we were able to provide solutions those challenges by Increasing the skills of the existing editors in contributing to Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wikicommons.
We also visited tourist centers, notable landmarks, and historical locations for Photowalk.
We were able to add and improve local content on English Wikipedia, Wikidata and Wiki Commons.
2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals? Please describe these strategies and approaches.
All of our approaches were effectives. We organized two (2) in-person events followed by virtual sessions on Zoom to keep in touch with all participants. In these events, we were able to train participants and also increase their skill on how to contribute to Wikipedia and its sister project. In this sessions, there was an hands-on keyboard training where the new editors were given the avenue to practice what they have learnt. We also had a photo walk to tourist centers and notable places in Osun state.
An outreach dashboard was created where we assigned articles to participants and also monitored their activities. A separate Whatsapp group was also created where participants are mentored after the events.
