Project Plan edit
Activities edit
Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. How many walks/tours will you organize and how many people on each walk?
- There will be total of 27 walks, two walks in every city (except Istanbul and İzmir. There will be 16 walks for a total of 54+ cemeteries in Istanbul and 7 walks in İzmir), the walk will be started by 10:00 am to 3:00 pm for each and every day and there will be minimum of 5 participants on each Walk
2. What kind of content will the walks focus on? Why is this topic a priority?
- This project will enrich the articles of notable deceased people who do not have any image files. In addition, with a file archive will provide updates and corrections to the relevant parameters in the Wikidata and Wikimedia projects. One of the main reasons this topic is a priority is to dominate the constant interest of content providers for the title "her/his death" in Turkish Wikipedia articles and to increase the number of very limited grave photos.
3. 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.
- For now, I only gave information on the official telegram account of the Wikimedia Turkey User Group.
4. How will you let participants know about the photowalk? 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.
- We will let participants know through Village pump, we will contact with WMTR and TR WP official Telegram account group to communicate with them. Additionally, invitations will be send via e-mail, Wikipedia user message pages, WP banner, and traditional online WikiTuesday conversations.
5. What is the plan to ensure images will be used on Wikimedia projects?
- First, the images will be upload to Wikimedia Commons. All of these images we will be taking will focused cemeteries and most of these cemeteries related articles in Wikipedia doesn't have images. So the existing editors will work effectively to link those images to the related pages in Wikidata and Wiki's language versions.
6. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?
- Most of the editors doesn't have DSLR camera, only few does, so a few camera will be hired for the walks. For professional shoots, it is aimed to give a briefing in the group meeting before the photo walks and to include one participant with photography skills in each group.
7. Is there anything else you want to tell us about this project?
- It's the first photo-walk experience for Turkish Wikipedia community, therefore its success is very important for us. This project is important for the development and improvement of Wikimedia Commons and other Wikimedia projects.
8. 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:
- Yes, it will be a face-to-face meeting and a single training session in this meeting for two city. Before each meeting, all participants must pass an Antigen or PCR test before 24-48 hours, this will reduce the risk of infection with Covid-19.

Strong support I think this will be one of the first projects of this kind not only in Turkey, but also in the region. An excellent project for enriching Wikipedia content (in different languages) with images, as well as enriching Commons with new, free licensed images. – Mehman 97 13:57, 16 October 2021 (UTC)- Support - Dr.Wiki54 (talk) 22:16, 28 October 2021 (UTC)
