Project information

edit
What is the main goal of your project?
  • The main mission is to take photographs of elements such as street signs, statues, busts, bus stops, etc., dedicated to notable people in Wikipedia, through a photo walk and upload these photographs to Commons with a free license. Our second goal of ours is to stimulate community spirit on the Turkish Wikipedia with this face-to-face meeting, reduce anonymity, network among users, and encourage users to move contributions forward.
Describe which activities you plan to implement
  • We made a two-day event plan for the weekend:
    • On the first day, photographs of street signs, statues, busts, bus stops will be taken in 5 groups within the determined route.
      • These five groups will then check the inventory of the street signs and other objects after the photo shoot to ensure there are no conflicts or duplications on the lunch.
      • After the lunch break, the remaining routes will be visited and the list will be tried to be completed and then we will go to dinner together.
    • We will upload the photos taken on the second day to Wikimedia Commons in the office in Kadıköy. We will also add them to relevant articles, if there are wikidata pages, we will add them there and place a valid description and category.
      • In addition, with this face-to-face meeting, we will create the opportunity to talk among ourselves about current problems and issues, future wiki plans and thoughts.
Describe your team
  • Adem (organizer), Caner/User:Kurmanbek (communication and design), OrkutMuratYilmaz (mapping and programming)
For which Wikimedia projects is the project relevant? For which communities is the project relevant? What is your target group?
