Content

We continue organizing Public artworks and memorials of Finland project.

The aim of this ongoing project is to bring all public art pieces and memorials in Finland into Wikipedia and list them. Currently such a list does not exist; instead, there are multiple lists compiled by different instances, and information on public art pieces is not accessible. We aim to rectify the situation by photographing monuments and other public art pieces, collecting documentation and writing articles on them.

Public art and its accessibility is an important theme for Wikimedia Suomi, and with this project we strive to serve not only general public and experts, but the Wikimedia community as well. The project has - due to its multi-layered approach - an opportunity to make the project a shared experience for both Wikipedians and non-editors.

In 2018, the project will include photohunts, which we have already organized several times, and editathons. Target number of photohunts is 10 and number of photographed statues in the photohunts is 400. Themes for editathons include exporting information of current lists into Wikidata; using the information on Wikidata in Wikipedia; and marking statues on OpenStreetMap. We publish a showcase dataset of a list of statues in one selected city at a cultural Hackathon Hack4fi. Current number of cities with a public art list is 60, and we plan import 5 lists per month into Wikidata. Size of the showcase list is 50 - 100 works of art.

As other content support actions we will also continue in the Wikipedia Library (in English) initiative by obtaining licences for electronic publications and archives. We try to include three new publications to our library. We also try to obtain the right to use at least one data source in CC0 for Wikidata.

By the end of the next period, the number of Finnish Wikipedians taking part in Wikimedia projects (including international projects) will have increased, and the community will have been strengthened. We will achieve this through our work on content, which will engage and encourage community members.

Education

In 2017, our target was to develop a program that provides education in Wikipedia pedagogic activity and in 2018, our target is to begin implementing it.

The basic education system in Finland is advanced. The new curriculum in public schools offers wide scope of skills, transgressing all subjects and emphasizing media readership. The task of Wikimedia Suomi runs parallel to this: we will not educate only consumers, but also producers of media. Wikimedia offers good tools for this kind of activity.

In spring 2017, we ran two Education Program pilots that served as learning tools for setting up a broader Education Program. We plan to to create a hub where students and teachers get instructions to use Wikipedia in Education. Our goal is to launch a community consultation and make draft pages for the project in November 2017, and we expect 10–15 Wikipedians to take part in the discussion. We will look into utilizing Programs & Events dashboard. We will organize two workshops in the beginning of 2018 for teachers and EDU tutors. Concrete goal for this is to educate two teachers and two experienced Wikipedians engaged with tutoring who will have the skills to use the programs & events dashboard in their events.

Our flagship project in Education is the WikiLeap project, which aims to write elementary school learning materials into Wikibooks. In 2018, there is a follow-up WikiLeap project with the National Museum of Finland where they will update parts of their teaching material on Finnish prehistory that they have previously had online and re-publish them on WikiBooks in connection with their new exhibition on the subject. The National Museum staff will do the editing, and Wikimedia Finland will support them in this. This includes an editathon with the staff. We support this with templates, commons mass uploads and data uploads to Wikidata, if needed. The National Museum participates in Educa exhibition in January. Wikimedia Suomi will have a supporting role there too, and after Educa there will be an edithaton(s) for teachers as a follow-up event. Later next spring, as part of our own EDU program, we post workshop and presentation proposals for WikiLeap at ITK conference (Interactive Technology in Education).

Concrete target of WikiLeap for year 2018 is that the material created by the National Museum is successfully imported into Wikibooks, at least three edithatons have been held for teachers with at least 5 teacher in each, and the materials from the National Museum have been utilized in the teaching of a class. If possible, this teaching is supported by a student project where they photograph Finnish prehistory locations for WLM/WLE.

Outreach

The goal of our Outreach activities is to make Wikipedia and the Wikimedia movement more known to the general public, i.e. our outreach work is mostly targeted towards non-editors. We plan to reach the public through our partners who work in public service, organizing competitions and events that attract the public, and by increasing our presence online on our blog and social media pages. The reason for this is the decline of the number of editors in recent years; with active outreach work we hope to reverse the trend.

Next year, as in the past, we hope to organize an editing event for International Women’s Day. There are many feminist organizations we could partner with, and we’re currently searching for one with whom to implement some kind of an activity. This is an important project, aimed at a gender balance in Wikipedia and Wikimedia. Through this collaboration, our aim is to create more articles related to women and gender issues, gain new editors (specifically women), and create a dialogue between Wikimedia and feminist organizations in Finland.

In the next year, we plan to organize both Wiki Loves Monuments and Wiki Loves Earth competitions. In 2017, we organized WLM for the first time, and we noticed that it attracted mostly non-editors. We believe this will prove to be true in the future as well, and the contests are therefore an important part of our outreach strategy. Through them, we increase our visibility among Finns who might not be well acquainted with Wikipedia and Wikimedia. Our target is 2000 photos, 100 users and 50 new users for each competition.

Participating in large fairs is expensive and requires a lot of intensive work. For this reason, we hope to take part in smaller events focused on issues that we work on. We believe this will guarantee higher visibility and more concrete results. We hope to work with other organizations, for example OKFI (Open Knowledge Finland), and to participate together with other organizations in bigger events in order to optimize our use of resources and results. Book fairs have been important for us in the past, and we hope to participate in them also in the future. Therefore we’re looking into alternative means of participation, for example joining panel discussions and side events. Our target is for year 2018 is to participate three events using active, functional or alternative ways to participate.

We will track the results of the Women's day event using Programs & Events Dashboard. We will also track in WLM/WLE number of registered editors, how many of them have edits in multiple projects -i.e. not only to Wikimedia Commons - and how many of the registered accounts have continued editing after 3 months from the registration.

Partnerships

Our goal in this area is to collaborate with GLAM organizations to create a mutually beneficial relationship, where Wikipedia receives high-quality input from experts. The experts of these organizations in turn learn about the Wikimedia movement and the tools we offer, and they will be motivated to use them in the future. The larger objective of this program is to offer accessible, high-quality information and tools to the general public through cooperation with institutions, especially public institutions such as museums.

In 2018, we continue our work with GLAM edithatons, trying to concentrate in educating our target groups on how to conduct edithatons. In 2018, the following larger projects will take place:

A heraldry project with Finnish National Archive and Aalto university will create a machine readable database of European coats of arms and their elements for their AI research purposes. The core of the dataset would be coats of arms images in Wikimedia Commons in SVG format and their description texts. They have applied for two year funding from Koneen säätiö, but the grants haven't been decided yet (ETA December). If the grant proposal is accepted, Wikimedia Finland's part is to parse description information from Wikimedia Commons and create coat of arms items in Wikidata with the link to image, municipality and instance of information and this would be funded by Koneen säätiö grant. One active Finnish Wikipedian will be civilian service person at Finnish National Archive and it is likely that he will be included to the project. This would be an opportunity to make a Wikimedian in residency too. In point of global Wikimedian view project would result in a completely new open dataset for heraldry of Wikimedia Commons which could be used in Structured Commons program.

We will continue our work with the Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE by using their datasets to match Wikidata items to YSO (General Finnish ontology) and YSA (General Finnish keywords) so that we can create a match between Wikidata/Wikipedia, and in the future YSA/YSO can be used in content more easily. This year the National Board of Antiquities of Finland has archived a set of WLM photos in their collections. If they do so next year, this could be used for keywording of WLM/WLE photos. YSA/YSO is also a practical tool for linking content from Wikimedia projects to external content in Finland.

In November 2017, we organized an editathon with the National Audiovisual Institute (Kavi) staff, and they seem interested in other future collaborations. This edithathon will center around adding and improving articles on historical TV and radio programs, and there is still work to be done in this sector. Currently KAVI:s datasets are CC-BY and one clear discussion point is how we can use them with Wikidata. We have discussed a future project with Gallen-Kallela Museum in which we would upload photos of artworks to Wikimedia Commons and store related information to Wikidata. We continue our collaboration with Media Museum Rupriikki in Tampere to produce an exhibition of Wikipedia's 15 years in Finland.

International

We strengthen our collaboration with the international Wikimedia movement, especially in our neighboring Wikimedias of Estonia, Sweden and Russia. We participate in international meetings and organize contests and events. Wikimedia Suomi supports Wikimedia Nordic-Baltic formation, collaboration and organisation building, and we would like to take part in Nordic-Baltic meeting 2018.

We hope to find a suitable, preferably GLAM related project, to work together with Sweden or Estonia. Especially Estonia seems enthusiastic with museum-related collaboration. One strong possibility for this is to use Estonian Ajapaik rephotography application (example photo: Ajapaik, Wikimedia commons) as part of WLM. We tested it internally in this year's competition. We collaborate with OKFI to create a GLAM-related hackathon next year. We want at least one person from our community to attend the 2018 GLAM-Wiki Conference in Israel, due to the importance of GLAM in our programs.

Objectives:

• 1. Implementing successful, high-quality projects with Finnish public institutions that result in high-quality input from experts, through proactive work with Finnish partners.
  
• 2. Increased awareness of Wikimedia tools, and increased use of these tools through editathons targeted to specific audiences, improved internal and external communication, and collaboration with the National Museum to export material into WikiBooks.

Technical development

The tech program aims at institutionalizing Wikidata for all projects around Finnish Wikimedia.

The main reason for pushing this is that the current infobox system in Finnish Wikipedia is from 2008, and it should be renewed in any case. The most critical needs are better support for accessibility, and Wikidata. Fiwiki doesn’t have the will or technical manpower to implement it from scratch, and so we adapted infobox and Wikidata support from French Wikipedia, which is already very good. Wikidata, Lua, graph-extension and kartographer extension (mapframe maps) are technologies that enable processing the information in new ways. They are not adopted automatically, and we in Wikimedia Suomi are using them in different projects so it is vital for us to install them.

We will achieve this by localizing the Wikidata and infobox modules imported from French Wikipedia and keeping them up to date. Modules are then cloned into all Finnish sister projects.(list of currently synced modules and templates)

We will also import high quality data supporting Lakes and WikiLeap projects into Wikidata. Exact data is unknown because by default license used for data we plan to use in Finland is CC-BY, and we need to request a permit for use it as CC0 for Wikidata. However, the data that we try to get is something like Lake code, coordinates of the Lake, inflows, outflows, location in the administrative territorial entity, area, perimeter, catchment area, depth, environmental information etc. Total number of target lakes are all Finnish lakes currently in Wikidata (6000) and stretch goal is all Finnish language lakes which are in Swedish Wikipedia (17103).

Imported data can be used for creating info boxes and drawing maps and graphs. We will implement automatic daily comparison between data used in the Lakes -infobox and information from the authorities in order to point out a medium to the community for maintaining the accuracy of the info boxes. We will strive to teach the community members to export information to Wikidata by using the tools glampipe, quickstatements and pywikibot.

By updating into Wikipedia five geography infoboxes ( "lakes" (2461), "rivers" (1096), "mountains" (811), "islands" (1483) and "natural reserves" (272)), we will advance social learning. Wikidata will be used in these info boxes either as a sources of the visible value, or to search for errors, based on the views of the community. Instead of using old location maps, we will use mapframe maps in the info boxes. During creation of the info boxes, we will initiate a dialogue with the community on how Wikidata could and should be used.

For teachers involved in the WikiLeap Project, we will create a web based guide on the use of infoboxes, graphs and maps. This will include a manual in Finnish to use information boxes and Wikidata modules used in the French Wikipedia. When ready, the guide will be used in other Finnish sister projects too.

Timeframe for the steps in the plan is to do it during 2018. Work with the community dialogue, creating new guides, syncing the code with the French Wikipedia is ongoing project and it will continue beyond that.

Heikki Kastemaa gave a lecture about his Benin residence in Spring Meeting.

The first half of 2018 brought changes to the staff. Kimmo Virtanen began his work as a Wiki Technician in January. Tia Kangaspunta moved on to a full time job from the coordinator position in March and Susanna Ånäs was hired as a coordinator for the summer starting in May. The board was complemented with a new member, Anni Saisto In Spring meeting. Anni works as a curator at Pori Art Museum and is a Wiki activist. She will take on the duties of GLAM coordination starting next year.

Strategy work continued with two workshops where we carried out a SWOT analysis and analysed the current state and direction of the association. Strategy plan was opened to general discussion in Meta from May until Autumn meeting.

As the EU general data protection regulation statute came into force in May the association published its Data protection document to comply with it. We took part in meetings concerning GDPR together with Open Knowledge Finland. The document was amended in the Spring meeting by stating to gather less information about members than previously.

The board held nine meetings and the Spring meeting convened in May. The association rents a table office in Maria 01, Helsinki city center where we have organized meetings, appointments and workshops. Online work is organized using Trello, Slack and Hangout.

Content

In January we took part in Danish The Prime Minister's Office’s project which aims to open information about works of Danish painter L. A. Ring. We visited the residence of Danish ambassador in Helsinki to photograph two paintings (1, 2) in their collection for Wikimedia Commons.

The project to create lists of all public statues and memorials in Finland continues steadily. Between January and June 1,050 new public artworks and memorials were listed in Wikipedia. 1,150 were located using coordinates and 1,076 were photographed by 27 photographers. Lists of all 311 municipalities in Finland are now initiated. The progress of the project is followed by community members on a list in fiwiki project page. In first part of the year we imported our showcase city, Pori, to wikidata, but not to the Open Street Map.

The whole year’s target of 400 photographs of public art was exceeded already in the first half of the year by 650 photographs, thanks to very active participants who photographed statues on their own too. Our second metric was organised photohunts (10), of which none were organised in the first half of the year. We noticed that participants don’t necessarily need organised photohunts, which can be seen on the results too.

Importing data from the Wikipedia lists to Wikidata has been started using Pori as and example case. First grantee metric was "Number of added targets in our projects marked in Wikidata, Wikipedia and OSM"; this is 0 for the first half of the year, because the lists weren’t imported to OSM yet. Two lists were imported to Wikidata instead of planned 30, because we are still figuring out how to guide people to edit these lists through Wikidata instead of Wikipedia tables (the problem is that we would have had two separate lists that needed to be synced manually).

We maintain the Finnish Wikipedia Library with its resources. All of the partners have agreed to continue the donations until at least the end of 2018. Of the targeted three for the year we got one new partner this Spring, magazine Suomen Kuvalehti, but the donation program hasn’t started yet.

Wikimedia Suomi affirmed a letter of recommendation to accredit one Wikipedia photographer who covers sports events and rock festivals for Wikipedia articles.

The number of active and very active editors was slightly higher than last year during the same period.

Education

Wikileap

Teachers are solving Wikibooks puzzles at Coding challenge track at the Interactive Technology in Education conference

Our main education project for spring was Wikileap organised with The Finnish Information Processing Association Tivia, IT-teacher association IT-kouluttajat and CSC, Finnish IT center for science. Wikileap started last year and the project was successfully finished at end of April 2018. As an end result of the project 167 pages of over 1,000 characters were created to Wikibooks article namespace. 355 photos from Wikimedia Commons were used in the articles and 1,400 photos were uploaded from Finna to Wikimedia Commons. There were 8 users who edited Wikileap books over multiple days in 2018. The project also created a Facebook group Kirjoitetaan oppikirjat peruskouluun for teachers with over 1,000 members.

In first half of 2018 Wikileap organised three workshops with the National museum. The first one was for employees of National Museum and Finnish Heritage Agency in January; the second was a teachers’ evening at the National Museum in February; and third was a content creation workshop in March, where we copyedited already written content. Altogether there were 40 unique participants at these events. As a result of collaboration, we created the core for a book about Finland’s prehistory and nearly finished a Wikibook on theme The Time of Great Wars. Our collaboration with National Museum and the teachers will continue in autumn.

Wikileap participated main Finnish education fairs Educa in January 26–27 and in ITK (Interactive Technology in Education) on April 11–13. In the events, we also spread out WLM postcards and Wikileap leaflets. In Educa, Tero gave a presentation about Wikileap at National Museum’s booth, and one company tested content produced during Wikileap in their own platform. At the Interactive Technology in Education conference in Hämeenlinna Wikileap had a pre-conference webinar 2018-03-21 and gave a presentation about open collaboratively written schoolbooks. One of the materials presented was the Wikibook on The Time of Great Wars, which was topic of our workshop in March at the National Museum. Wikileap ran their Coding Challenge Track (Koodiesterata) workshop, a series of fun puzzles about different topics including Wikipedia/Wikibooks, Arduino, Python, and Scratch. After ITK there was a presentation about Wikileap at Kantokaski school in April 17 for 30 teachers.

Wikileap was presented at Open Knowledge Finland’s Open Data Day event in March 3 for 20 people and a Wikileap webinar in March 5, as part of the open education week. In June 1, a group of 6th grade students and their parents made a guided trip to the Suomenlinna. There were 20 participants on the trip and they tested rephotography. Code ABC Hachathons: teachers as tinkerers submission was accepted to ICEM 2018 conference. Wikileap content was used in the Code ABC in 2017-2018.

Wikileap participated in major Finnish educational events, it had very good visibility and teachers were generally interested in the Wikileap initiative. However, writing schoolbooks is long-term work and even with good visibility, it is hard to convert “likes” to actual editing. It is much better to implement events at schools for teachers than to try to get teachers to participate in edithatons. Technical support was needed for uploading existing open content to Commons, basic Wiki editing and making mobile reading experience better.

Other

We took part in the course “Art, Everyday Life and Society” held at Aalto University. The students used Wikipedia as a tool to affect their everyday life. We also made presentation on Wikibooks for Laurea University of Applied Sciences Yrityslabra (R&D Lab) students. As a result one of their students participated as part of his studies in a project that aims to re-publish a schoolbook under CC-BY licence.

Outreach

Flatlands wikiworkshop at Sibelius Museum 2018-05-16

Wikipedia Exhibition shown at Vapriikki Museum Centre, Tampere.

This year we organised several International Women’s Day events, where altogether 1,084 new articles were created. Starting with Women’s day editathon at Helsinki University and women-themed week contest on Wikipedia, we launched a one month competition in April called Punaisten linkkien naiset (PLN, ”Women of red links”, inspired by Women in Red). The culmination was the WikiGap event at Helsinki University’s Think Corner, co-organised with Embassy of Sweden in Helsinki. The community of Finnish Wikipedia was really active, as the PLN competition yielded over 950 of the new articles.

We got 42 new registered users through Punaisten linkkien naiset competition and WikiGap. Of the targeted 250 participants we reached 215 and of the targeted 5000 content pages 4460 were edited. The targets were almost reached already in the first half of the year because the Women's day events and competitions were more succesful than we had hoped for. Grantee metric of 3 content creation events was exceeded by 3 events.

For the Helsinki University editathon we utilised Programs & Events Dashboard. Although the tool is useful, it adds another layer of new software the participants have to get acquainted with. For our Women’s week competition and Punaisten linkkien naiset competition we used UKbot for tracking scores, on WikiGap we tracked the results manually. Events were also successful in media-wise, as many mainstream outlets covered them. More information about the events can be found in our blog post. After Wikigap event Heikki participated reception in Swedish Embassy on Sweden’s National Day, in June 6th.

In March 19 we participated in a All Digital Week fair event organised by Finnish Swedish speaking Bildningalliansen. We had a booth and gave a presentation on rephotography. The Helsinki event was chosen as one of the best ADW events in Europe. Bildningsalliansen helped us further to reach Swedish-speaking communities in Finland to promote WikiGap.

As part of Wikileap we participated in many educational events including Educa and ITK. We participated in OKFFI’s event Juniorihackathon, where we engaged with kids to add old photographs of Helsinki to Wikipedia articles. We took part in Open Data Days in an open democracy workshop, where Kimmo told about Vaalidatahack (Election data hack) in 2017 and Wikiproject Every Politician in Wikidata.

To promote Wikileap and Wiki Loves Monuments in different events we printed three WLM postcards with 3,000 copies in all. 1,500 postcards were distributed through The Finnish Heritage Agency channels and WMFI distributed 1,250–1,500 at various events. For example 250 postcards were given out in Educa. Wikileap made 2,500 copies of Wikileap leaflets and distributed the rest of the Creative commons copyright manuals.

On February 24–25 we ran a two-day editathon with Wikipedia presentations related to environment issues in central library in Oulu. On April 16 Heikki talked about Wikipedia to senior alumni of a high school, the Eslok club in Helsinki.

Due to time constraints last fall, the Wikipedia Exhibition project was finished this Spring. Titled “Tarkista se Wikipediasta – avoimen tietosanakirjan 17 vuotta” (“Check it on Wikipedia – 17 years of an open dictionary”), the exhibition was shown at Museokeskus Vapriikki in Tampere for two months. Vapriikki had over 200,000 visitors in 2017, so we can dare to say that the exhibition has reached a wide audience. We also participated in Museoiden yö (Night of the Museums) at Vapriikki, giving tours of the exhibition for visitors. After this the exhibition will start touring the country. The social media post promoting the exhibition has been our most viral yet in terms of engagement.

Organising Wiki Loves Earth was skipped this year due to focusing on the gender gap events and Wikileap, and due to preparations for WLM in May.

Partnerships

Lentokonefani at Sinebrychoff Art Museum Wikipedia evening on March 7. He was helping with the event and speaking about the WiR.

Susannaanas speaking at Uusimaa regional museums wikiworkshop at Helsinki city museum.

Our objective was to reach 100 participants, of which we reached 64. Of these only 3 were newly registered users, because the partnership events have been either planning meetings, presentations or non-editing events. Also, in some of the events the target group has been people who already have Wikimedia user accounts. Regarding the grantee metric #1, the numbers relate to WLM and will be calculated for the final report.

Heikki Kastemaa was a resident at The Finno-African culture center Villa Karo in Grand-Popo, Benin from December 4 2017 to January 20 2018 presenting and promoting Wikipedia. He gave a presentation about possibilities of Wikipedia in Africa at the WMFI spring meeting and on April 6 for Villa Karo’s support group of 25 people in Helsinki.

Starting this year we have the first Wikimedian in Residence at the Finnish National Archive, where a long time Wikipedist Lentokonefani works as a service person. This is a result of the heraldry project initiative, which didn’t receive funding, but National Archive decided to employ a WiR person nevertheless. The main tasks for WiR has been scraping the heraldry image information from Wikimedia Commons, updating Wikipedia pages related to National archive and teaching the employees of National archive about Wikipedia and open licensing. Lentokonefani made a presentation about his residency at WMFI spring meeting. There was article about WiR in local newspaper Suur-Jyväskylän lehti. Heraldy project continued with parsing heraldry image and description fields dataset from Wikimedia Commons for National archives internal use at Spring 2018. The analytics part didn’t go forward without external funding.

We continue working on Wiki Loves Monuments with Finnish Heritage Agency as our main partner. We are also collaborate with the National Library to add Finto YSA/YSO ontology id’s to Wikidata items for places, keywords and tags. The work includes the keywords which Finnish Broadcasting Company YLE uses too, and the main work method is to use the tool Mix’n’Match for matching ontologies and the items. We use the Finto links in WLM 2018 for listing the photograph targets in WLM lists, and translate the Finna keywords to Commons categories and wikidata items and afterwards commons information can be also translated back to format which can be stored to Finnish Heritage Agency’s database. At WLM 2018 we are doing the rephotography track and we are using Finna.fi as backend to search nearest historical photographs for rephotographing. We use Ajapaik Android Open source app by Estonian Photographic Heritage Society as mobile application for rephotography.

We have also collaborated with project Wikidocumentaries. We took part in one Wikidocumentaries technical workshop where we discussed Wikibase installations and API interfaces and using Ajapaik. With Estonian Photographic Heritage Society and Wikidocumentaries we participated in competition organised by City of Helsinki to promote new ideas of physical activity and hobbies. We were selected to second round which will allow us to use service designer to help us to refine our rephotography plans for WLM and second round of application. The partnership with Wikidocumentaries began already in 2017 with KONE grant application, and the project received funding from Kone in December 2017. In the project Wikimedia Suomi is in advisory role as the experts of the Wikimedia ecosystem. WMFI doesn’t have financial obligations in the project. We partner with Wikidocumentaries, because we are collaborating with the same institutions in Wiki Loves Monuments and because Wikidocumentaries implements Wikimedia projects. Cooperation is mutually beneficial.

May 14, we organised a Wikipedia workshop for museum employees in collaboration with museums in Uusimaa region. The topics included editing Wikipedia, Wikidata and uploading images to Wikimedia Commons with Pattypan. There were 20 participants.

In international front participated in Big Fat Brussels meeting and Wikimedia Conference in Berlin.

Some of the objectives stated in the application overlap with other programs, such as "implementing successful, high-quality projects with Finnish public institutions that result in high-quality input from experts, through proactive work with Finnish partners" and "Increased awareness of Wikimedia tools, and increased use of these tools through editathons targeted to specific audiences".

Technical Development

Wikidocumentaries technical workshop. The topic was OSM, Wikibase and Mediawiki API interfaces.

French Wikidata and infobox modules are copied to Finnish sister projects and they are in active use in Wikivoyage and Wikipedia. Wikibase is not enabled in Wiktionary. The lake, river and natural reserve infoboxes are converted to the new infobox system. 8 users are participating in workgroup discussions related to infoboxes and 4 users have actually edit them. Mapframe maps are in general use through the infoboxes and editors are using maps independently too.

Of the targeted 20 000 content pages only 1000 was achieved, partly because there are thousands of lakes and we didn't yet import all of them to Wikidata.

During the period, Wikidata, Petscan and SPARQL were widely used in women related contests and in doing gender gap background statistics. Nowiki user Danmichealo also added SPARQL support to his weekly contest bot.

There has been person to person tutorings, so that when a problem or question arises Kimmo has showed how it should be done or he has done an example code for it. For example Lentokonefani who is doing the WiR in National archive created a Toollabs account, was instructed on how to use it and learned how to use Pywikibot for scraping the template data from Wikimedia Commons.

For teachers involved in the WikiLeap Project we didn’t create a web based guide on the use of infoboxes, graphs and maps, bacause they didn’t have need for them. Instead we have given direct guidance in Wikimedia projects.

Helsinki City Museum Wikipedia workshop 2018-11-20 1252

Number of added photos per year (red), growth of the lists in bytes per year (orange) and number of photographers per year (blue) 2005-2018.

We established a working method for our public art photography project, to first gather information about the artworks in a usable format together. However, it was more straightforward just go and photograph the statues than to organize larger photosafaries. In the end, we had one 8 people photo safaris, two four-person safaris and rest of the photos was taken in 1-3 person trips. During the year tools for maps and statistics were developed by the project.

Overall during the year, 1500 works of art were added to lists. 1600 works had location data added and 1700 works were photographed. Number of photographers was 48 and 5 new registered users. Additionally, during 2018 we started to catalog the public art in all 311 municipalities in Finland. 75 new articles were created about these works of art.

We chose Pori and Hämeenlinna as potential showcase cities for the public art project and added their information to Wikidata. We postponed imports to Wikidata for other cities to 2019. The problem is that we would have had two separate lists that needed to be synced manually. It was partly solved in fall by the release of OpenRefine 3 tool that is able to read wikitables and update data into Wikidata. 2 users participated in OSM editing events (HotOSM and Open Data SW Finland mapathons) to learn OSM editing, but as there were no wikidata items for the statues yet adding these was postponed to 2019.

Hack4Fi event coincided with Wiki Loves Monuments and Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2018. So our participation in Hack4Fi was Wiki Loves Monuments rephotography track themed. Kulttuurinavigaattori took part in Wikimedia Northern Europe meeting and talked about our public art project there.

There was a new partner for the Wikipedia Library, Suomen Kuvalehti and old partners continued.

We advanced engagement by giving a user a letter of recommendation as a photographer.

Education

Lukion taulukot (Gymnasium table book) is a reference book used by gymnasium students.

The main portion of our education program took place during spring in the Wikileap project and has been covered in our midpoint report. Planned community consultation with 10 to 15 Wikipedians didn’t happen.

During the second half of the year, Wikileap started writing books for secondary school and received as a donation the copyright to the Lukion taulukot book on mathematical formulas published by WSOY. It was scanned and published at Wikimedia Commons and under CC-By license and there is a project in Wikisource to proofread the scanned content.

In the fall Wikileap held a presentation on Open textbooks for basic education at Dare To Learn event. They also had a presentation Wikidata as a tool for teachers and students in November. Next Wikidata presentation will be in IT-teachers spring meeting in 8.2. and 9.2. February 2019.

Outreach

The goal of our outreach program was to make the Wikimedia movement more widely known among the general public and to convert the slow decline in the number of editors into a slight increase. According to stats, the number of editors was stable in 2018.

In 2018 Wikimedia Finland took part in about 45 different events or competitions (in all programs) in order to publicize Wikipedia. The biggest outreach events during spring were series of equality-themed events which were started from Women's Day. We are also proud of the exhibition on Wikipedia at media museum Rupriikki. These events have been reported with greater detail in our midpoint report. Our activities in the fall were built around Wiki Loves Monuments. We also held events on copyright and personal data in cooperation with OKFi.

Our strategic goal was to take part in smaller events with functional activities, instead of having our own booths at big events. We implemented this successfully with Wikileap, Wiki Loves Monuments and our partnership with OKFi.

Wiki Loves Monuments

There were 102 participants in Wiki Loves Monuments, 72 of whom were new users, and 3500 pictures were taken.(stats) One of the photos received an honorary mention in the international competition. We organized a rephotography track for the Finnish competition with Estonian Photographic Heritage Society. One of the organizers, Susanna Ånäs, and one of the judges, Soile Tirilä, were on the national morning tv show to talk about WLM and rephotography. There was also other media coverage as the kulttuuristaperinnoksi.fi, Kamera-lehti, Savonmaa and Keskisuomalainen (paywall) wrote about the competition.

Wikidocumentaries advertised the competition during their events. As a concrete result of this Rauma city museum held a local WLM track with awards. We also took part in two valokuvaa vantaa photo walks organized by the Vantaa city museum to advertise the competition. After the competition ended the WLM team held a rephotography track in HACK4Fi cultural hackathon by OKFi. About 10 participants took part in creating gamification and social media plan for rephotography. After Hack4Fi the team continued onto follow up event Wide science hackathon to work on the ideas. On November 18 we had an awards ceremony in the National Museum.

The winner of the Finnish competition, Teuvo Salmenjoki, was announced at the award ceremony at the National Museum of Finland on 18 November. Julie Tsarfati got honorable Mention with 23rd Place International WLM 2018.

Collaboration with OKFI

We partnered with Open Knowledge Finland to hold an event on European Action Day on EU Article 13 and hosted a panel on Wikimedia at their MyData conference. We also had a joint fall meeting / Christmas party where WMFI hosted a 10 person discussion on copyright directive.

Partnerships

Wikidata 6-year and OpenRefine 3 workshop at Yle

IHME Contemporary Art Festival 2018 wiki presentation table

Vahur Puik demonstrates how Ajapaik Android app works at Helsinki City Museum.

We organised 11 editing workshops with GLAMs in 2018, with 110 participants in total. Number includes the Wikiloikka editing workshops. Some interesting events were: an editathon with photo volunteers at Helsinki City Museum where we also learned about their volunteer work involving the photo collections at the museum and we got Helsinki rephotography related collaboration in 2019. The editathon for IHME Contemporary Art Festival documented the history of the public artworks created by the festival and continued into their after party. In spring at Sibelius museum editing Wikipedia was part of the documentation of the experimental instruments of Flatlands art-project. .

Our long term strategy has been to encourage GLAMs to organise Wiki events independently. A doctoral thesis of Sinebrychoff Museum's Senior Citizen Club and its members published in 2019 also briefly covers their edithatons. Their 3 edithatons have been led by former WMFI board member Johanna Janhonen. The museum is part of the same organization as our long-time edithaton partner Kiasma.

We continued our cooperation with Yle by hosting a Wikidata’s 6th-anniversary event where different organisations talked about how they use Wikidata in their work and demonstrated the OpenRefine 3 tool. During Wiki Loves Monuments we used Finnish National Library Finna service and got help from them. Finnish Heritage Agency was our main WLM partner.

We assisted Gallen-Kallela museum in their events by uploading photos, statistics and with Wikidata. In December we had a workshop with Werstas museum for adding Sounds of Changes media files to Wikipedia. There were ~20 participants, and we uploaded 250 videos for commons and used 20 video files in the article content. Our event with the National Audiovisual Institute moved to January 28, 2019.

We widened our Nordic cooperation by taking part in the founding meeting of Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2018 in Stockholm. en:user:Yupik, an active editor of the Northern Sami Wikipedia, Yupik, was elected to Wikimedia Finland’s 2019 board. Yupik also participated to Celtic Knot 2018 -conference.

We participated Ajapaik four day dev camp in summer at Estonia and used their Ajapaik app in Wiki Loves Monuments. We also held a presentation on rephotography in CEE meeting and Glamwiki conference. Our longest reaching achievement during the year was securing funding from the city of Helsinki for a three-year Helsinki Rephotography project. The project aims to rephotograph and geotag old photos. We also took part in a workshop organized by WMEE on IIIF and Structured Data on Wikimedia Commons at the BAAC Conference 2018.

Wikimedia in residency

Finland's first wiki-residency ended in December. Miku Malinen (User:Lentokonefani) acted as a Wikimedian in Residence at the National Archives of Finland from February. The main project during the residency was the web service Heraldiikan ontologia (HERO, Ontology of heraldry), which remains under development. When released, the heraldic terms included in the service will be linked to corresponding Wikidata items, which will make it easier for users of the service to find additional information on the terms. In addition, the relations of heraldic terms in Wikidata were clarified and corrected using the ontology model of HERO as a basis. In 2018 Miku participated to Wikimania and Wikimedia Nordic meeting. Miku took part in Finnish Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? as a contestant and talked about HERO, Wikipedia and Wikimedia in Residency on air. 2019 Miku Malinen was selected to Wikimedia Finlands board.

Technical Development

French Wikidata and infobox modules are localized and copied to Finnish sister projects. They are in active use in Wikivoyage and Wikipedia. The lake, mountain, island and natural reserve infoboxes are converted to the new infobox system and in use as planned. River infobox was converted to Wikidata infobox by a community member and it is updated to articles at its own pace.

Because we didn’t participate to WLE it reduced the need for mass uploading the lake data related to it. In the end, we decided to focus on the wikidata item’s which were used in Finnish Wikipedia lake infoboxes. (ie. 5000 lakes.)

Mapframe is used in infoboxes and there is an ongoing dialogue with the community how Wikidata should could and should be used. We are trying to address problems how to track relevant Wikidata changes in Wikipedia. Also, there seems to be an issue on how to handle events where information in wikidata updates automatically and well-sourced older information in article text differs. The only solution so far is to show only sourced values from Wikidata in Wikipedia.

We continue tech program as part of a community program and started in 2019 weekly Wikipedia meetings in central library Oodi.
