New subject: FW: Creators and Wikipedia

16 Mar 2022

Hi Terry,

I understand your comments, and I agree that online workshops may not work
for senior participants. In this project, the workshops, apart from
training a relatively small group, are meant to provide feedback,
consultation, and networking.

However, the final product - the "text book" may suit a range of Wiki
education scenarios, and hopefully help people leading / teaching wiki
skills to diverse groups.

I also suppose that this particular project is directed mainly at young
people. I underlined the fact that in my country, no level of school or
university education includes media education, internet literacy, open vs
closed data and so on.

Most young people can use social media - but using reliable sources,
contributing to open access knowledge and visual documenation, knowing how
to use materials submitted by other people - is a different matter. The
goal of this particular project is to hopefully raise the awareness and
skill level there, and to prepare teaching and encouragement material that
can help.

Best regards,

Marta M Moraczewska

  Hi Jane

 Anything to help publicise Wikipedia training and we'd like to use it
 ourselves to tackle digital exclusion. The aim is to create incentives for
 55+ year-olds to attend local community-group digital training sessions
 across the Good Things Foundation Online Centres.Network
 <https://www.goodthingsfoundation.org/our-network/>.

 Having recently become a network member, I'm looking at new and innovative
 means of attracting new Wikipedia editors. For example, there are 279 Civil
 Parishes in Cambridgeshire.all of which have Wikipediia articles e.g.
 Cottenham <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cottenham>.

 Encouraging senior citizens with in-depth local knowledge to expand these
 articles through local Wikipedia "clubs" is something I'd like to
 pursue and I'm keen to know of any other enterprise like it in the UK.

 How might the CIG-E-Forum <https://jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/CIG-E-FORUM.html> be
 used to float this idea? Meanwhile, I'm working my way through

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczews…
and
 have Cc'd my colleague Andrew Zolnai for his thoughts.

 "The [Grants} project links a series of targeted workshops, prepared from
 the point of view of creative professionals, training them in a range of
 Wiki skills - combined with a plan to prepare an "all-in-one"
 textbook/manual, explaining licenses, OTRS (this may be especially useful),
 reuse and many other basics.".

 Essentially, our thoughts are with those who are digitally
 excluded through no fault of their own but still have much to contribute.
 @ online workshops at this stage would be counter-productive at this
 stage.

 Kind regards, Terry

  Hi,

 I would like to ask if you could post your messages to:

 https://jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/CIG-E-FORUM.html

 Here in the UK we are trying to raise awareness of all things
 Wikipedia/Media/Data amongst our cataloguing & metadata workforce as this
 gives us the perfect opportunity to create, share, enrich and maintain
 metadata outside of the restricted access MARC environment.

 It would be really great if these messages from your group could raise
 awareness of the possibilities.

 It might also engender a bit more support for structured training and
 workforce development.

 Many thanks,

 Jane

 Hi Everyone,

 I would like to interest those of you working with GLAM institutions, but
 also with individuals who are artists, photographers, filmmakers and other
 creators, in a project "Creators in Wikipedia".

 The project links a series of targeted workshops, prepared from the point
 of view of creative professionals, training them in a range of Wiki skills
 - combined with a plan to prepare an "all-in-one" textbook/manual,
 explaining licenses, OTRS (this may be especially useful), reuse and many
 other basics. This would have an English version and files letting people
 easily prepare translations into other languages/localise examples used.

 The idea is also to introduce and connect this group of users to existing
 Wikipedia initiatives - such as Art+Feminism, Women in Red, Wiki loves
 SDGs, Wiki For Human Rights and Documenting Ukraine's Cultural Heritage.

 Here is the project proposal:

 Please let me know if you have comments, ideas, or suggestions. If you
 consider the project worthwhile, please endorse here:

 Also do let me know if you would like to take part in the project - as a
 workshop guest (they will be partially run in English), to contribute to
 the "textbook"/manual material, or to participate in its review. The
 program is mainly addressed at audiences from CEE countries but hopefully
 is adaptable to other uses.

 Thanks for reading! Hope to hear your thoughts.

 Best wishes!

 Marta Malina Moraczewska
