Ogu traditional Festivals and Dances edit

Hello friends,

I will like to inform you on my plans to carry out a project on Ogu traditional Festivals and Dances. This will include a photowalk of shrines of the gods worshiped in these festivals, the associated dances followed by editathon on articles writings about these traditional Festivals and dances. What are your thoughts and suggestions on it. Please let me know who is also interested in joining me in this project. Thanks.--Pingponging (talk) 14:46, 17 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Hello @Pingponging, We are glad you plan to carry out this project. We think this documentation is great but should be for a longer grant term because of how spread the Ogu Festivals are in a year. Accessibility to the shrines where the deities are worshiped can be difficult during the rainy season. Please consider moving this to the dry season.--Gungbe Wikimedians (talk) 05:28, 18 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hello @Pingponging, it's a beautiful project but I'll suggest you make it a contest. This will make more people to register and upload pictures on Commons and thus recruit more users for the gungbe Wikimedians community. Thanks! Biowikician (talk) 09:43, 19 June 2022 (UTC)Reply
Beautiful idea. I also think it should be a photo contest since our community and the associated Wikipedia is still new and we need more contributots. Please consider making this a photo contest. Thanks. Samatics (talk) 08:51, 22 June 2022 (UTC)Reply

Propose statements for the 2022 Election Compass edit

Hi all,

Community members in the 2022 Board of Trustees election are invited to propose statements to use in the Election Compass.

An Election Compass is a tool to help voters select the candidates that best align with their beliefs and views. The community members will propose statements for the candidates to answer using a Lickert scale (agree/neutral/disagree). The candidates’ answers to the statements will be loaded into the Election Compass tool. Voters will use the tool by entering in their answer to the statements (agree/disagree/neutral). The results will show the candidates that best align with the voter’s beliefs and views.

Here is the timeline for the Election Compass:

July 8 - 20: Community members propose statements for the Election Compass

July 21 - 22: Elections Committee reviews statements for clarity and removes off-topic statements

July 23 - August 1: Volunteers vote on the statements

August 2 - 4: Elections Committee selects the top 15 statements

August 5 - 12: candidates align themselves with the statements

August 15: The Election Compass opens for voters to use to help guide their voting decision

The Elections Committee will select the top 15 statements at the beginning of August. The Elections Committee will oversee the process, supported by the Movement Strategy and Governance team. MSG will check that the questions are clear, there are no duplicates, no typos, and so on.

Best,

Movement Strategy and Governance

Introducing the Wikimedia photo library and a workshop invite edit

Dear Wikimedia affiliates communications leads,

We are so excited to share a new resource with you: The Wikimedia Photo Library. In it you will find high quality images that help to tell the story of free knowledge. We hope that this library will help you in the important work you do as a communication lead. Alongside this library, we’ve also updated guidelines on how to effectively use imagery to tell brand stories.

Curious to learn more about these resources?

We will be holding a short workshop for 45 minutes on Tuesday 3 October 2023, at 16:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) and again on Thursday 5 October at 7:00 UTC (add event to your calendar) to accommodate different time zones. During these workshops, we will walk you through some examples of images that align with the Movement Brand Guidelines, some basics of quality photography and answer any questions you may have about this topic.

The need for a Wikimedia Photo Library

Our research showed that there are lots of photos available from Wikimedia events, usually featuring people using computers. There were very few images showing mobile editing or reading, and even fewer showing people using the projects in their everyday lives.

These images are the first steps in creating a photo library that is representative of the whole movement. We have added images that are aligned with the Movement Brand Guidelines in this category on Wikimedia Commons. Photography is a powerful tool to create cohesion in Wikimedia communication. Our hope is that all of you will help to build this resource out with images from your region.

By continuing to add to this category, we will be helping one another tell more impactful stories of the free knowledge movement – learn how on the Brand portal on Meta-wiki.

Thank you so much and please let me know if you have any questions. We hope to see you at one of the workshops!

Wikimedia Foundation Affiliates Strategy: Summary and Report edit

Dear Wikimedia affiliate,

Last year, the Wikimedia Foundation Board announced they started the process with creating an Affiliates Strategy in collaboration with the Affiliations Committee, the affiliates, and the broader communities with the intention to develop a strategy that will help guide the Foundation’s immediate work in supporting affiliates for the next few years, with a primary focus on the recognition process, as a direct responsibility of the Board.

Over several months, the Wikimedia Foundation Board engaged with an outside consultant to drive a review process of what work the Foundation was doing to support affiliates. The end goal was to have several recommended actions.

You can read more about the findings and the recommendations on this Meta-Wiki page.
