Learning

edit

Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:

  • What worked well?
    • Outreach tool, a useful tool.
    • Eventbrite's event management. Easy to manage the orders, emails, send email to all the list's participants to inform about how to prepare themselves to the event, easy to print the final list to use as attendance sheet.
    • Facebook event, Twitter account, Pinterest showcase to promote this on social media.
    • The wikifacilitator's help.
    • We had a list to start and all the articles were checked in advance in notability and sources.
    • The museum's collaboration (location, tables, chairs, wifi, social promotion).
    • The visibility on the museum site.
    • Is the first time we involve the city's authorities (Department of Culture and Department of simplification)
    • We created 2 guides in italian for beginners: How to registrate on Wikipedia and How to translate an article.
    • The graphics works kindly created for free.
    • Low fees for refreshments (this time we don't use the catering service and we retrieve the drinks from the previous event - A + F).
    • The response of the comunity
    • A great number of new and improved articles
    • We have remaining founds to use for the prizes for another contest online
    • Contacts with a school
    • Prizes in Amazon cards easy to manage
    • The winners satisfaction
  • What did not work so well?
    • Participation in WMCON has complicated the organization
    • This time we haven't the support of WMI association
    • For this reason we have not a Press officer and a Press campaign
    • Little time for communication
    • Half of people who was registered didn't come
    • Who came didn't edit, was only interested about the argument
    • We recruit only one new user
  • What would you do differently next time?
    • Communication to the outside has been our weak point, so we will do this differently (a dedicated person)
    • No knowledge on how works the municipal departments (now we have more experience)
