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 WPWP contest will be focused on adding as many relevant images as possible in Swahili Wikipedia articles. By adding images on the Swahili Wikipedia pages will help grasp the readers' attention better than a page with no image.

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.

I have let my community know about the proposal through the Arusha Wikimedians metapage [1]

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.

I will let the community about the event through social media in which the community is mostly involved. I have created a WhatsApp group, Facebook page, and Instagram page in order to reach a large number of the community members

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.

Using the general guideline for the campaign rules of the contest, contributions will be tracked using the Wikimedia Hashtag tool. Participants will be advised to label a specific #WPWP hashtag.

5. For photo contests, what is the strategy to get images used on projects?

It is not a photo contest

6. Are you running any in-person events or activities? If so, you will need to complete the steps outlined on the Risk Assessment protocol related to COVID-19. When you have completed these steps, please provide a link to your completed copy of the risk assessment tool below:
