Project Plan edit
Activities edit
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?
- This project aims to help and recruit fresh editors in developing contents on Nigerian women academics on Igbo Wikipedia. This contest would make efforts to bridge gender gap and would create room for informative articles relevant to the Igbo Wikipedia community and strive to fill non-existing contents of a good number of these significant women in Nigeria. The list of articles I intend to work with can be accessed here.
2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.
- I have announced to the community members on Igbo Wikipedia Nigeria at Nzọr ogbako. See here for the notice.
3. How will you let participants know about the contest? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.
- The contest will be announced on Igbo Wikipedia WhatsApp groups and other social media platforms to ensure participation.
4. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.
- The articles of the contest will be judged by a team comprising of experienced Wikipedians. The participant with the highest points will be awarded the first prize.
The scoring system for the winners would be as follows:
- 2.0 points would be awarded for every new Igbo Wikipedia article
- 0.5 points for every good source or reference used in the Igbo Wikipedia article.
5. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?
6. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
- No. It will be an online event.
