List-building Support

Baluku, we were recently on a call with the Search Platform Team. I'm reaching out to gain insights on your experiences with locating missing Wikipedia articles and to see if I might be able to provide support to Wikipedia Uganda's list-building efforts.

I'm a contractor with the foundation who was brought in to pilot a topical list-building service for organizers and editors. My background is in academic librarianship, instructional design, and online instruction (read more here [1]). Through my conversations with a number of contributors, I've learned that most currently rely on a combination of tools and manual processes for topical list-building. Is this your experience as well?

I've offered support to communities who are building lists for campaigns. As a member of the Uganda user group, I'm curious if you've worked with anyone from the foundation in support of your campaigns. Perhaps you've collaborated with members of the content translation or movement communications teams?

If not, I'd like to offer my support in the remaining months of my contract to your group. Might I be able to assist your list-building efforts by locating relevant references for the upcoming Women in Wikisource campaign? Or, maybe you have other ideas!

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing back from you! CPickens-WMF (talk) 16:23, 19 February 2025 (UTC)
