Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:

1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?

We are going to host an editathon, which will be an annual event. The marathon will be held at the same time in several Turkic Wikipedia (trwiki, azwiki, ttwiki, bawiki and etc.). With this marathon, we want to increase the number of new articles and the number of new users. The marathon will be held in June, during which a training on working in wikipedia will be held for interested persons (online).

2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.

We created a project page on Meta-Wiki and landing pages will also be created on local Wikipedias. When the project begins we will, through the SiteNotice, preempt all Wikipedia visitors about the project. Also, through official accounts of AzWikipedia and Wikimedia TR in social networks (azwiki Facebook, WMTR Facebook, WMTR Twitter, Bashkir WP group on Facebook), we will attract new members and warn them about our project.

3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?

Yes.

4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?

All existing Wikipedia participants have all the necessary skills and technical devices to participate in the competition. New participants if they do not have the necessary skills, we will help them to conduct lessons for them.

5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

As WM Turkic UG we try to hold many thematic contests, so the editors are free to take part in our projects. In addition, Turkic Wikipedias conduct other contests in which all participants can participate.

6. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?

This is the first joint contest of Turkic communities and Wikipedias, therefore its success is very important for us. This project is important for the development and improvement of Turkic Wikipedias.
