Hello, everyone:<br>
<br>
Following up on the email we sent out last week, we have Phase I of the Community Communications Toolkit up: <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Communications_Kit" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Community_Communications_Kit</a><br>
<br>Phase I stresses two things for volunteers: telling your own story
NOW and helping to pull together background information on the history
of Wikipedia and the global magnitude of our work. <br><p>As discussed
in the last email, we understand that most people don’t fully realize
we’re a
mission-driven, non-profit movement run by real, everyday people who
care about providing a free public service to the world. Often,
Wikipedia is thought to be a static product or service, not a living,
breathing community of people who care. While some of us in the Wikimedia community are dedicated to
communications work, all of us can use this 10-year anniversary as an
opportunity to educate the world about who we are, the work that we do
and the mission that drives us. The first—and most
important—thing we can do RIGHT NOW is tell our own stories in our own
words and encourage others who care about our work to do the
same. Over the past 10 years, what has Wikipedia come to mean to the
world? What was it like before there was a Wikipedia in your language?
How will it impact the next ten years? We're encouraging all volunteers
and anyone who cares about our projects to publicly tell their personal
Wikipedia stories via letters to the editor, op-eds and personal or
chapter blog posts. If volunteers don't have a blog
or aren't comfortable sharing thoughts publicly, we've created a page to
post on wiki as well: <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Stories" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Our_Stories</a><br></p>
<p>Additionally, we need help curating all of the interesting information about Wikipedia including: <br></p>*Wikipedia's Historical Timeline: <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_timeline" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_timeline</a><br>
*Stats and information to help demonstrate the magnitude of Wikipedia: <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Share" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_by_the_numbers</a><br>*Wikipedia's top 10s: <a href="http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%27s_Top_Ten" target="_blank">http://ten.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia%27s_Top_Ten</a><br>
<br>There's
a wealth of interesting information out there, but hasn't been captured
and organized so that we can all access it easily. If you remember any
fun facts and Wikipedia trivia from the last ten years, please share! <br>
<br>We plan to send a variation of this email to Internal and Foundation. We'll likely post Phase II of the Toolkit on Friday which
should also include a draft media advisory we plan to send to press next
Tuesday. Until then, please provide any feedback you have. <br>
<br>Cheers,<br><font color="#888888"><font color="#888888"><br>Moka</font>
