Activities

edit

Tell us how you'll carry out your project. Be sure to answer the following questions:
1. What content will the contest focus on, and why is it important to your community?

The Wikimedia Community in Nigeria will focus on the creation of senate elections articles of all 36 States of Nigeria on the English Wikipedia. This content is very important to our community because only 0.2% of such articles exist on Wikipedia.

2. How have you let relevant Wikimedia communities know about this proposal? You are required to provide links to on-wiki pages to inform these communities about your proposed work. Examples of places where this can be done include community discussion pages, affiliate discussion pages, or relevant project talk pages.
You may also provide information about external social media channels you may be using.

Wikimedia User Group Nigeria has been notified here.

3. How will you let participants know about the contest? In what ways will you be communicating with them?
For example, these can include on-wiki spaces, social media channels, mailing lists, messaging apps, or physical/online gatherings.

Information about the contest will be sent through Wikimedia WhatsApp, Facebook and Telegram groups in Nigeria and related social media platforms. Targeted ads will also be placed on Nigeria most popular internet forum Nairaland and Facebook pages to attract new editors who would join the contest.

4. How will you judge the contest and award prizes?
Note: Grantees, judges, and other contest leaders are ineligible to receive prizes. Grantees who are serving as judges may not receive gifts through grant funding.

An unbiased and independent jury will be set up and their work is to judge all the articles submitted based on the rules of the contest.

  • 2 points for every new article created on the English Wikipedia and submitted on the contest page.
  • 1 point for every reliable source used on the created article.
