Project Plan
editActivities
editTell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What is your promotion plan?
You can do a campaign involving billboards or rickshaw announcements to promote a Wikimedia projects, such as Santali Wikipedia, at different places in a city. You can promote an online campaign such as Wiki Loves Monuments on Facebook, Twitter, etc using ads. You can also create gifs/slideshows or other easy to make multimedia files and use them to promote your project on social media.
- It is going to be a four-days program; in the first three days, I and other facilitators will meet to tour in Potiskum and other parts of Yobe State especially the Universities, Polytechnics and Colleges as well as some Secondary Schools in the state for Wikipedia promotions campaign and awareness. While on the fourth day, we will organize a workshop to teach how to edit Wikipedia for the participants.
2. How will you let your community know about the promotion campaign?
Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
- I will let them know via our social media handles and Hausa Wikipedia Discussion page and Hausa Wikimedians User Group Talk page on Meta-Wiki. I also made the announcement on Wikipedia User Group Talk page
3.Do you have any experience in promoting Wikimedia projects either online or offline?
Were you involved in a similar project in the past? Do you have any other experience related to online/offline promotion?
- I have been involved in Wikimania 2021, I also attend many Hausa Wikipedia meetings and programs virtually. Also there is an experience user Gwanki, who have been leading similar campaigns in Kano, he will help me to do it.
4. What is your post-promotion plan?
What do you plan to do after your campaign ends?
