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?

The contest will focus on adding and improving content on topics that are related to the “Right to a Healthy Environment” which is the theme of WikiForHumanRights in 2022.Content will be mainly focused on the importance of human rights centered on environmental justice, climate justice, and human wellbeing especially in this era of health hazards due to environmental pollution and climate effects. This is important for the Dagbani Wikimedia user group because it will be an opportunity to create awareness in northern Ghana as this part of the country is always prone to injustices in issues regarding the environment and the climate. It is also an opportunity to create basic content related to the environment and human rights in the Dagbani language Wikipedia, and to enrich content about Ghana on Wikidata.

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.

Currently, I have added this project to the list of events on Wiki4HumanRights 2022
I am also on the Wiki4HumanRights discussion channel on Telegram where we stay updated with planning of this year's campaign Telegram

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.

I will invite all editors of the Dagbani Wikipedia to join the writing contest by posting flyers and information regarding the contest on our social media pages and mailing lists. Some of which includes:

Dagbani Wikipedia and Dagbani Wikimedians social media pages
Facebook: Dagbani Wikimedians
Telegram group
WhatsApp group: Dagbani Wikimedians

Targeting these groups will facilitate:

Recruiting people who speak at least one of the 16 Mole-Dagbani languages to participate in the project
Provide general Wikipedia and Wikimedia commons training for newly recruited editors and experience ones to sharpen their editing capabilities.

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.

I will be responsible for tracking the work via the project dashboard. Scoring will then be shown on the contest landing page.This is the scoring system the jury have agreed on:
one point will be given for each photo added to an article, two points for each new article created, and five points for each 2,000 bytes added.
Prizes in the form of shopping vouchers will be awarded to the top three scorers, while each participant will receive a certificate of participation

5. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

I will collaborate with Moore Wikimedia Community to contribute photos uploaded from the Wiki Loves Earth photo contest [1]
All articles must have an image depicting the topic before it will be marked as complete
