Hi Maarten,
thanks for forwarding this to WLM list. I sent the announcement to both
lists two days ago, and I am in the know that is being held for moderation
on Wiki Loves Monuments list.
We do believe, however, that this event is relevant for GLAM-Wiki at large,
since it looks into all photo competitions, not just Wiki Loves Monuments.
Please consider posting that on GLAM-Wiki as well.
We do take the comments on Evaluation very seriously, and worked on a
response through the weekend, which was published last night. Hopefully,
most of you have read it by now, and might want to join the conversation on
the talk page, as well as this Wednesday at 1500 UTC.
Best,
María

TL;DR: The Learning and Evaluation team at Wikimedia Foundation has
released the first Programs Reports for Wiki Loves Monuments [1] and
Other Photo Events [2]. Learn more about how these programs deliver
against the set goals and comment on what next steps should be! Join the
event on Wed May 6 *[3]*
Hi all,
The Learning and Evaluation team at Wikimedia Foundation is happy to
launch the first two Wikimedia programs reports 2015: Wiki Loves Monuments
[1] and Other Photo Events [2]. As many of you know, the reports are the
result of a collaborative effort that brings together program leaders
across the movement and the L&E team, to better understand the impact
Wikimedia programs have online and offline.
Highlights of the first reports include that media uploaded to Wikimedia
Commons as part of the Wiki Loves Monuments and other photo events (from
September 2013 to September 2014) represent 14% of the media uploaded to
Commons and media uploaded are used in articles at five times the rate of
other media uploaded during the same time period. Read the reports to
understand how many new users are introduced to wiki projects through
these programs, to learn about user retention, and to see how effective
photo events are at expanding and improving content on Wikimedia
projects. Unlike the beta reports, these new deliveries includes a new
section: «How this info can apply to program planning», in the section
«Key Findings», to help program leaders make the most of these reports.
In addition to these two reports, we've published an overview report on
the state of program evaluation and reporting. Specifically, the section
Evaluation Initiative [4] will give readers a snapshot on the state of
learning and evaluation in the movement.
We have come a long way, and we want to thank everyone who has been
involved in different parts of this initiative and especially those who
shared data with us! We still have a lot of work to approach together. We
need program leaders ideas and views to explore possible next steps. Some
potential areas for further investigation of Other Photo Events and Wiki
Loves Monuments are:
-
Do different types of photo events attract different types of users?
-
How can we apply the successes of low-cost, low-scale events to other
contexts?
Join the conversation on the Talk Page of both reports. Additionally, we
will host an event to present the reports and discuss them on *Wednesday,
May 6, at 1500 UTC.* We have heard back from some program leaders that
will not be able to make it, but as many of you know, it is hard to find a
time that works across the movement. We are unable to move this virtual
event, but* it will be recorded and available for the public and
commenting afterwards. *Join the event here:
