editActivities
editTell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. Are you doing one editathon or training or a series of editathons or trainings?
- We will be having two separate editathons in Federal University of Agriculture Abeokuta (FUNAAB), Ogun state and also at the University of Lagos (UNILAG), Lagos state. For FUNAAB the location will be the Nimbe Adedipe Library which will be held on January 22 and UNILAG session will be held at University of Lagos Library on January 29.
2. How will you let your community know about the event? Please paste links below to where relevant communities have been notified of your proposal, and to any other relevant community discussions.
- The project will be announced to Wikimedia User Group Nigeria mailing list, social media and each library will also post about the events in their social media handles.
3. Do you have experienced Wikimedia editors to lead the event?
- Yes, i personally have the required experience as i have led various editathons around Nigeria and also a member of the steering committee for the Wikimedia and Libraries User Group. Also will be assisted by other Nigerian experienced editors which include Olaniyan olushola, Mahveotm.
4. Do participants have the equipment or skills needed to participate and contribute high quality content? If not, how will you support them?
- The event will be held at the school library which has rows of computer stations, electricity and internet. Many of the participants will be librarians but though computer handling skills might vary, but we expect all participants to have at least basic computer knowledge. We will be using the Citation Hunt tool to make it easier to find citations and we will also provide a cheatsheet they can use when unsure.
5. How will you engage participants after the event(s)?

Endorsements

- I strongly support this grant proposal. FUNAAB, the library mentioned in this proposal, is our "sister library". Last year, after Kaizenify and others on his team learned that we were hosting an editathon at our library in the US, and that we have a "sister library" in FUNAAB, they quickly coordinated a two day workshop for librarians at FUNAAB. I was so impressed! And the library director reached out to tell us that it was a wonderful success and she hoped to work with Wikimedia and her staff in the future. I have no doubt these events will continue to cultivate long-term and prosperous relationships between librarians and Wikimedia in Nigeria. Bridges2Information (talk) 00:53, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
