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? Getting new editors who were happy and excited to participate, In the sense that people wanted to participate actively to Wikidata.
  • What did not work so well? It was still difficult for new editors to understand Wikidata at first because few of them had never done in before hence making it difficult to grasp.
  • What would you do differently next time? I'll create and devote more time and teach them properly so that next time they will participate fast and actively.

Anything else

edit

Anything else you want to share about your project?

The project provided information about notable sport ambassadors in nigerian , like their birth name, language spoken, written or signed etc. Many of the wikidata pages of notable sport ambassadors had very little information. We also created new pages. I organized this project by texting participants on whatsapp and calling them to meet up in the place hired for the project. A few of them are friends and known editors to wikidata. The others are people that my friends introduced to wikidata , and they were happy to participate. We normally start by training participants, especially newcomers before we start editing. even when the editing is going on, we keep training each other. The 14 persons shown in the outreach dashboard of the program is the total number of editors that did the project. some of them came more than once. The 42 participants I wrote in this report is the total number of attendance of the different persons in the project. I ran the five meetings on five different days that were most suitable for all the participants to attend. I didn't take photos or videos of these meetings. I would have taken it if I knew it would be needed.
