Wikimedia Foundation/Communications/CoordinatedCommunicationOpportunities

During a talk on the Communications Meeting before Wikimedia Conference 2018, the idea came up to coordinate some communications internationally. This page was created to gather dates, international projects or other opportunities.

Dates

Let's collect here days we could coordinate some international communication around. Feel free to add and put some idea descriptions to it.

December 5: International Volunteers Day

Volunteers are the heart and backbone of all Wiki projects. Let's post some portraits, telling what drives the individuals to be part of the Wikiverse. Jan Apel (WMDE) (talk) 14:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Projects

International projects or marks we could create some buzz around should be collected here.

May: Wiki loves Earth

Why not showing great pictures from the past years on social media? We could crosspost pictures from other chapters to raise awareness of this international project. Jan Apel (WMDE) (talk) 14:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Will do that from WMES twitter account during this week. Quick link to Spanish 2017 winner images in case you want to do so, you can tag us at @wikimedia_es >> https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Earth_2017/Winners#Spain Virginia Díez (WMES) (talk) 10:50, 16 May 2018 (UTC)

September: Wiki loves Monuments

Worlds biggest picture contest -- let's make the world aware by sharing great pictures out of the past WLM contests and crospost them.Jan Apel (WMDE) (talk) 14:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

WMDE will ramp up its coverage of WLM on its social media accounts starting at the beginning of August with a workshop on 360 degree photography, posting old winner pics, and sharing a promo video we had created mostly from footage of a youth photography workshop earlier this year. Let's make sure to retweet and share each other's content. Lisa Dittmer (WMDE) (talk) 08:45, 18 July 2018 (UTC)

Picture of the Year

As soon as the picture of the year is selected, let's announce it big time and telling the world about the great Wikimedia Commons. Yes, you can use it, too. Jan Apel (WMDE) (talk) 14:56, 26 April 2018 (UTC)

Issues we could tackle together

Copyright reform in Europe

Should we coordinate a small social media campaign to raise awareness on how the new law would affect Wikipedia and its sister projects? Virginia Díez (WMES) (talk) 10:50, 16 May 2018 (UTC)
