What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?

Description - Wiki Loves Folklore, an annual international photography contest hosted on Wikimedia Commons from February 1st to March 31st, serves as a global initiative to amass a diverse collection of media. The primary objective is to contribute content to Wikipedia and other online platforms, all under free licenses. The contest focuses on capturing and showcasing unique images that represent and document the intangible cultural heritage of various communities worldwide.

Structured with both national coordinators and an International Team, the campaign ensures comprehensive coverage. National coordinators, responsible for organizing Wiki Loves Folklore within their respective countries, play a vital role in fostering local participation. Simultaneously, the International Team steps in to organize the contest in countries lacking designated national coordinators, thereby addressing the representation gap within the Wikimedia ecosystem.

Central Notice admin comments

• @Joris Darlington Quarshie:
  • Do you want to request one campaign for all participating countries and another one for all remaining countries again? For the former, it seems that c:Commons:Wiki Loves Folklore 2025/Organize has the most up-to-date list. But what are your expectations? Will many more show up? It would make more sense to create the campaigns when it's more clear.
  • Furthermore, do you plan separate campaigns again like the Bangladesh version last year? It would be helpful to have a list of such special campaigns in advance as well.
  • Last year, we have kindly asked the organizers to motivate a volunteer to help out with setting up the campaign. Could you find a volunteer CentralNotice admin? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 20:26, 2 January 2025 (UTC)

  Hello @DerHexer,

  Please we require 3 type of banners;

  • 1 for signed up countries.
  • 1 for all countries but which are not part of signed up countries.
  • 1 for anonymous users.

  The list of the organisers is not fully complete since we are still sign up stage. It's start as the list will be completed before 1st February 2025. These are the types of banners we are requesting for at the moment. We have also nominated a volunteer and our technical lead Nokib Sarkar for central notice adminship. If he is selected he can help in the tasks. Link to his nomation can be found here: Meta:Requests for CentralNotice adminship/Nokib Sarkar#Nokib Sarkar. –– Joris Darlington Quarshie (talk) 17:03, 4 January 2025 (UTC)

  @Joris Darlington Quarshie and Nokib Sarkar:

  • Thanks, I have prepared the campaigns as follows:
    1. countries campaign and banner (preview)
    2. non-countries campaign and banner (preview)
    3. anon campaign and banner (preview)
  • As of now, the anon campaign and non-anon campaigns only slightly differ in amount of display per days/weeks. Do you plan to have different landing pages for these groups? Because in previous years there was no difference for anonymous users. Please updates the accordingly or ping me for that
  • Furthermore, please update the list of countries (adding new participating countries to the country campaign and removing them from the non-country campaign) whenever possible and before February at the latest; I can also help with this, please ping me here as well.
  • All in all, does this look okay to you? Do you want me to enable the campaigns? Best, —DerHexer (Talk) 13:34, 6 January 2025 (UTC)

  @DerHexer, thanks for the work. We will like to request just a change of image for the banners as we are using same images from past few years now. The updated banner is below with the same dimensions and different images. Post image change we are good to go and enable the banners.
