As one of the pioneers and major contributor of Hausa Wikiquote, I feel there is great need for more contributions to this project. More especially due to few editors who contribute to the project and the project is still yet to be approved as a Wikimedia project (partly due to less number of participantion)

I was informed about this proposal and I believe it will bring about positive impact to Hausa Wikiquote and Hausa community at large - more especially with the idea of engaging aged participants which is a major gap more especially within Hausa Wikimedians (as most of the editors are young/youths). This project will fill this gap by introducing Wikiquote to the aged across Hausa community.

I will make some recommendations on how to achieve better outcomes.

i. the idea of engaging aged participants is a plus achievement, but you may encounter challenges in convincing them to keep editing Wikiquote, therefore there is need to include other age categories (as the case may be) and also include other genders (like women) to get more effective participation. There is also need to plan extensively on how to keep new editors (by adding them to groups and sharing Wikimedia information with them regularly, etc).

ii. to increase motivation among participants - state clearly the prizes and issue them immediately (as possible) after the contest).

iii. As for the learning questions, i think (Googleforms) is suitable for testing participants’ parception about Wikimedia (Wikiquote) Uncle Bash007 (talk) 09:06, 8 April 2024 (UTC)
