Lessons learned

edit
What worked well?
I prepared with a curator from SeMA. She hadn't had any experience on Wikipedia, so I could know what I never thought as a skilled Wikipedian. We promoted our event at Yonsei Univ. to help student understand Wikimedia projects as we planned. We prepared a list of articles we needed to edit, and I checked them to reduce notability and citation problems. The list guided new users, and most of participants created or edited articles under the subject of our edit-a-thon. We asked to create accounts before the event, so we could avoid wasting time. We also requested to write drafts and prepare references, so many articles from this event could have at least a format of paragraphs.
SeMA created beautiful posters for the event, and distributed it under CC BY-SA 3.0. The institution displayed the poster on the front page of its website, and I created a project page on Korean Wikipedia, as we planned. SeMA wrote a press material and some news agencies reported our event. [1][2]
What didn't work?
I explained about Wikipedia and wiki mark-up simply before the edit-a-thon. I think I didn't explain rules and culture of Wikipedia enough. I expected participants to create or edit article in our list, but some of the attendees didn't do that. A few of their articles were deleted. I think I needed to explain about the notability policy more although it is difficult for new user to understand. I didn't expect that other Wikipedians doubted attendees of our event as a troll. A user of Wikipedia applied to delete articles created by the attendees although it did not have notability problem, so it made them confused.
What would you do differently if you planned a similar project?
To keep participants' attention, we need to hold serial edit-a-thons. Also, I will create a template to announce that this user is a participant of an edit-a-thon not a troll.

Outcomes and impact

Outcomes

edit
Provide the original project goal here.
  • We will educate basic wikitext to women who have no or few experience on Wikimedia Projects.
  • We will create and edit articles about female painters and their works in Korean Wikipedia.
  • We will Introduce a basic concept of free license and public domain.
Did you achieve your project goal? How do you know your goal was achieved? Please answer in 1 - 2 short paragraphs.
Yes. Most of new users created their own articles under our subject: Asia, women, and art, and most of participants were women. I listed articles created and edited in this event at w:ko:위키백과:에디터톤/판타시아 에디터톤#결과.

Project metrics

Project metrics Target outcome Achieved outcome Explanation
70 participants 50 participants Over 70 people applied for the event, but about 20 people were absent.

Global Metrics

edit

We are trying to understand the overall outcomes of the work being funded across our grantees. In addition to the measures of success for your specific program (in above section), please use the table below to let us know how your project contributed to the Global Metrics. We know that not all projects will have results for each type of metric, so feel free to put "0" where necessary.

  1. Next to each required metric, list the actual outcome achieved through this project.
  2. Where necessary, explain the context behind your outcome. For example, if you were funded for an edit-a-thon which resulted in 0 new images, your explanation might be "This project focused solely on participation and articles written/improved, the goal was not to collect images."

For more information and a sample, see Global Metrics.

Remaining funds

Remaining funds have been used or will be used for other approved mission-aligned activities. This use has been requested in writing and approved by WMF.
Are there any grant funds remaining?
Answer YES or NO.
YES
Please list the total amount (specify currency) remaining here. (This is the amount you did not use, or the amount you still have after completing your grant.)
18,800 KRW
If funds are remaining they must be returned to WMF, reallocated to mission-aligned activities, or applied to another approved grant.
Please state here if you intend to return unused funds to WMF, submit a request for reallocation, or submit a new grant request, and then follow the instructions on your approved grant submission.
The amount of funds remaining is too small to return, so we want to reallocate them.
