Wikimedia Fellowships/Project Ideas/The Wiki Column

The Wiki Column. A column in magazine or newspapers online or offline to stimulate reading and learning interest and enlarge our readership.

Rationale

The modern life is busy and fast paced. We can reach a wider readership if we feature our short information in magazines related to that reader group. People can read and learn anywhere online or offline.

Targeted - addresses strategic theme(s) or goals
Ask: How does the project fit with WMF goals and current fellowship program theme(s)?
Answer: Its target is all the readers from the community.

Actionable - has concrete deliverables and outcomes
Ask: What will the project drivers do, how will they do it, and what will change as a result?
Answer: The project drivers have to contact major magazines and ask for a column space and deliver content on time.

Impactful - can have impact on a large group of people, articles, projects
Ask: Does it serve the many or the few?
Answer: Its impact is global wide.

Sustainable - builds volunteer-driven continuity over time
Ask: After the fellowship is over, how could the initiative continue?
Answer: The project can continue after the fellowship is over with experienced editors tutoring new volunteers.

Scalable - has the potential to transfer knowledge or approaches to multiple languages or projects
Ask: How can the project model solutions to generate movement-wide value?
Answer: The project can be run in all languages.

Measurable - can demonstrate impact
Ask: How will we know if the outcome is successful?
Answer: We can have a survey asking people how they found this info, such as from which magazine or newspaper.

This is not a debate, vote, or poll, but it is a space for community members to describe in detail why they think a project idea is of value. Questions or concerns should go on the talk page. Endorsements by volunteers willing to work in collaboration with a fellowship recipient on a project are highly encouraged.
