Hausa Wikimedians User Group/WikiHub Kaduna State Universty

The WikiHub Kaduna State University is a hub for undergraduate, postgraduate students and staff of Kaduna State University with the purpose of contributing to Wikipedia and her related projects. This hub is based on campus and run by the students with coordination from Hausa Wikimedians User Group (HaUG). The hub aims to promotes Wikimedia projects (Wikipedia, Hausa Wikipedia, Simple Wikipedia, and Commons) among the students through the execution of projects, like meet-ups, edit-a-thons, hack-a-thons as a way of exposing the students to the wikimedia movement.

The hub will be hosting regular edit-a-thons, workshops, photography events, and more that cater to and attract students, librarians, staff and other people on campus. We aim to reach and generate interest in members of the university who may not utilize and contribute to Wikimedia resources and to as well as create a community to support those who currently are involved with Wikipedia.

The success of this hub will primarily be to raise young Wikimedians across the diversity of disciplines and culture in the University community. It will help students know and contribute more to other Wikimedia projects asides from Wikipedia.

Present activity

Objectives

  • To promote the use of and contributions to Wikimedia projects by and among the students of the Kaduna State University
  • Providing a space for undergraduates who are/will engage(d) in Wikimedia to collaborate on projects, discuss strategies, and socialize with each other.
  • To facilitate programs that will achieve these.

Proposed Activities

  • Organizing Edit-a-thons for the English Wikipedia and Hausa at least twice in each semester where new editors are recruited and trained while others develop more as Wikipedians.
  • Wiki Meets Campus Photographers: An event in attempt to orient campus photographers on how to contribute to Commons; and why they should.
  • The Wikimedia Campus Survey, Kaduna State University : Finding out what lecturers and students know, feel, utilize, dislike, etc. about Wikimedia projects will help us get a true feedback about how the foundation's endeavors are viewed. We hope this survey results will serve as feedbacks and strategic maps for Wikimedia.

Special pages for the aforementioned programs will be created soon.
