Goals edit

Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?

Planned goals edit

  • Number of events : 5 festivals
  • Number of photos uploaded to Wikimedia Commons: More than 300
  • Number of photos used on Wikimedia projects: Photos used in more than 150 articles in more than 30 projects

Non-measurable impact

  • By covering Jazz på Jølst, increase the presence of musicians from Western Norway
  • Reduce the gender gap and underrepresentation of minorities. I achieve this by analysing the festival program and prioritize subjects that are underrepresented.

Learning edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
  1. I'm happy with the result. The number of photographs and the way they have been used.
  2. The festivals are very welcoming. More festivals than before accept photographers from the Wikimedia community.
  3. Several photographers have indicated interest in participating with Wikimedia on future concerts and music festivals.
  • What did not work so well?
  1. The number of festivals covered is more than one person can cover.
  2. I still have unprocessed photographs that need to be uploaded to Commons.
  • What would you do differently next time?
  1. Involve/recruit more photographers as contributors
