Hi all

I'm working on a pilot project with UNESCO to use text from their open license publications on Wikipedia to create new articles and improve existing ones. I'm working with an expert from the education department to identify suitable text and would like to work with a couple of Wikimedians to add the text to Wikipedia. The subjects we will start with are Education for Sustainable Development and Prevention of Violent Extremism and we will expand to more subjects as we progress.

There is more information in the suggested text section of this https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiProject_UNESCO/UNESCO_text page, it is very much a work in progress so some things may not be clear. To the best of my knowledge no one has done this before so I had to make it up as I went along.

If anyone is interested in working on this please let me know :)

Thanks

John

Hi all

Thanks very much to everyone who is interested in taking part, to make things easier I've created a mini project workspace on the talk page so we can keep everything in one place and other people can join if they wish to. As I've said this is very much a work in progress so all feedback welcome.

Hi all

I've now added recommendations for creating articles using text from the 2016 UN World Water Development Report, Water and Jobs. http://unesdoc.unesco.org/images/0024/002439/243938e.pdf I created the 2000ish word Water in Africa https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_in_Africa article from a chapter of the publication as a test and it took around two hours in total.

I've also added step by step instructions for the process of creating articles, if you could try them out that would be great.

Thanks very much

John
