Dear Friends,
Wikimedia User Group Nigeria( WUGN) is exploring a partnership with a Nigerian technology company to develop an Election Monitoring and Information Integrity System. The proposed platform will leverage Wikipedia and Wikidata to help curb election-related misinformation, document verifiable electoral events, and track incidents of election-related violence in a neutral, transparent, and verifiable manner.
The initiative is conceived as a public-interest, non-partisan tool that strengthens access to reliable information during electoral processes, while aligning with Wikimedia’s core values of neutrality, verifiability, and free knowledge.
As part of our ongoing engagement with the technology partner, we are seeking insights from Wikimedia affiliates, movement partners, and practitioners who have prior experience working on elections, civic technology, misinformation response, open data, or human rights documentation within the Wikimedia ecosystem and beyond.
Specifically, we would welcome guidance on the following areas:
1. Ethical and Policy Considerations
Risks related to editor safety, privacy, and data protection
Neutrality, conflict sensitivity, and avoidance of political bias
Compliance with Wikimedia policies, including BLP, NOR, and verifiability
2. Key Challenges and Risk Factors
Misinformation, disinformation, and coordinated manipulation
Data reliability, sourcing, and real-time verification constraints
Legal, regulatory, and security challenges in electoral contexts
3. Lessons Learned and Success Stories
Examples of similar initiatives within the Wikimedia movement or allied open knowledge communities
What worked well, what failed, and why
Strategies for community engagement and sustainability
4. Potential Funding and Partnership Opportunities
Likely funding organizations, donors, or grant mechanisms
Opportunities for collaboration with civil society, election observers, or research institutions
5. Impact and Measurement (Optional Input)
Indicators for measuring impact on misinformation reduction and public trust
Long-term value for Wikipedia, Wikidata, and the broader free knowledge ecosystem.
The feedback from this consultation will inform our design choices, governance framework, and sustainability plan, ensuring the initiative is responsibly implemented and aligned with movement-wide best practices.

Amb. Olushola Olaniyan
Dear Amb. Olushola Olaniyan
We've been implementing DEM-Debate https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/Projects#DEM-Debate project as Wikimedia Europe https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Europe/, the University of Amsterdam and Eurecat – Centre Tecnològic de Catalunya and the Wikimedia communities in Europe.
The DEM-Debate project aims to explore whether, and how, the fact-checking and moderation practices used by Wikipedia during the 2024 European Parliament election have enhanced the reliability of the information ecosystem. You can read more on our blog https://wikimedia.brussels/building-an-enabling-environment-for-democratic-debate-the-dem-debate-project/, where you can find mapping of Policies and risk-mitigation measures on election disinformation by Wikipedia https://wikimedia.brussels/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/D2.3-Mapping-Report-Mapping-Wikipedia-policies-and-risk-mitigation-measures-on-election-disinformation.docx-1.pdf and more. Based on English language content, we also drafted this Wikipedia Editorial Model Flowchart https://wikimedia.brussels/wp-content/uploads/2025/10/DemDebate-Chart-Print-ready.pdf (our first public version that will be further improved and translated - anyone with feedback is welcomed to share it with us). Perhaps this could be useful.
Let me know if you'd like to learn more :) We are happy to connect with you and explore if there is room for collaboration and exchange on the topic.

Dear Van,
Apologies, your email went to my spam folder, and I just stumbled upon it.
Thank you very much for reaching out and for sharing insights into the DEM-Debate project. I appreciate the overview and the work being done by Wikimedia Europe, the University of Amsterdam, Eurecat, and the Wikimedia communities across Europe.
The focus on fact-checking, moderation practices, and risk-mitigation measures during the 2024 European Parliament elections is both timely and highly relevant, particularly in the context of strengthening information integrity and public trust in democratic processes. I also find the Wikipedia Editorial Model Flowchart especially useful as a practical framework for understanding editorial decision-making and safeguards against disinformation.
I would be glad to learn more about the project and explore possible areas for collaboration or knowledge exchange. There may be valuable opportunities to reflect on how these lessons and models could inform similar efforts beyond Europe, including in emerging democracies and different linguistic and cultural contexts.
Thank you once again for sharing this work. I look forward to continuing the conversation.
We can continue our conversation off the list.
Warm regards,
Amb. Olushola Olaniyan

Hey Shola,
What a fantastic and important project. I don’t have any direct Wikimedia-specific experience with election monitoring, however two things do immediately spring to mind.
I remember Wikimedia DE did an interesting collaboration a while back with various media houses during an election (From what I remember, Tim Moritz Hector led a program called ZDF? You’ll have to do more digging!) . Not sure if this link is the final result, but it might be of interest: https://tech-news.wikimedia.de/2021/09/21/wikimedia-deutschland-presents-too...
The other memory is an organisation that is also pivotal in East Africa with regards to election monitoring is Ushahidi: https://www.ushahidi.com// - we can try to get you an intro in 2026 if you are interested in pursuing a relationship. I remember them being open focused (not sure if that is still relevant).
So interested to see the results! Good luck - stay safe!
Hope you get time this break to spend time with and cherish those you hold dear. Happy holidays!
Warmest Isla

Hi Shola, hi all,
indeed an interesting project, wishing you best of luck! Adding some info that might be of interest:
You remember correctly, Isla :) WMDE took part in a public fact-checking experiment with ZDF, Germany's second-largest public broadcaster, ahead of the 2013 federal election to verify politicians' statements. Here is a documentation https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Deutschland/ZDFcheck (in German). The idea: Wikipedian Tim Moritz Hector served as Wikipedian in residence at ZDF, where he researched politicians' statements with a professional fact-checking team and in collaboration with Wikipedians. ZDF then made the graphics, interviews, and texts produced for this format available under a Creative Commons license. Important to note: We hoped that the format would raise awareness of the importance of fact-based political decision-making and appreciation for the work of Wikipedia volunteers, and generate a lot of free, high-quality content for Wikipedia. However, there was also significant criticism of this concept from community members, who primarily rejected the possibility of the community being co-opted and perceived as a “service provider.” I'm afraid I don't remember the long discussions and other points of criticism, please forgive me.
The page you linked to provides a brief description of two other WMDE projects in the context of state, federal, and European elections: With the tool Digital-O-Mat, voters could see which party best matched their own views on policies for a digital democracy. It's a tool we created with other digital rights organizations https://digitalomat25.de/about/to make digital policy positions more known, visible, and comparable between parties in the interest of free knowledge. The effect in brief: The tool was accepted, but mainly by a bubble that was already interested in digital policy. In Germany, there are now a large number of “-o-mats” for various areas of interest before elections, but in my opinion, interest in them has waned. Currently, we are no longer running the tool.
Face the Facts was an app that visualized all the important details about politicians right on the election campaign posters as an easy way for voters to get an overall picture of a candidate and to quickly identify who comes closest to their own political beliefs. The app was created as an open source tool in the WMDE project UNLOCK Accelerator https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/about-unlock/ (which also no longer exists).
Best regards Lilli

Hi Lille and Isla,
Thank you once again for your feedback and the helpful context you shared in your email. It was very insightful and greatly appreciated.
Our project aims to leverage Wikipedia and the Wikidata model to help manage misinformation and monitor election-related violence. This will be supported by a bot-driven fact-checking system and a user-friendly platform for reporting and sharing verified findings.
We have a clear strategy and outcomes in place. At this stage, we are seeking collaboration with both a technology company and a fact-checking organisation to support the design and development of the system.
Our goal is to launch a pilot ahead of the upcoming election in Benin. The insights gained from this pilot will then inform our implementation for the elections in The Gambia and Nigeria later in the year.
As mentioned in my previous email, we are actively exploring partnerships to strengthen areas where we currently lack capacity and welcome support from organisations or individuals interested in collaborating.
Warm regards, Olushola Olaniyan
The plan is on-going, and we appreciate all feedback and support.
Kind regards, Olushola Olaniyan

I remember Wikimedia DE did an interesting collaboration a while back with various media houses during an election (From what I remember, Tim Moritz Hector led a program called ZDF? You’ll have to do more digging!) . Not sure if this link is the final result, but it might be of interest:
https://tech-news.wikimedia.de/2021/09/21/wikimedia-deutschland-presents-too...
The other memory is an organisation that is also pivotal in East Africa with regards to election monitoring is Ushahidi: https://www.ushahidi.com// - we can try to get you an intro in 2026 if you are interested in pursuing a relationship. I remember them being open focused (not sure if that is still relevant).
So interested to see the results! Good luck - stay safe!
Hope you get time this break to spend time with and cherish those you hold dear. Happy holidays!
Warmest Isla

Dear Van,
Apologies, your email went to my spam folder, and I just stumbled upon it.
Thank you very much for reaching out and for sharing insights into the DEM-Debate project. I appreciate the overview and the work being done by Wikimedia Europe, the University of Amsterdam, Eurecat, and the Wikimedia communities across Europe.
The focus on fact-checking, moderation practices, and risk-mitigation measures during the 2024 European Parliament elections is both timely and highly relevant, particularly in the context of strengthening information integrity and public trust in democratic processes. I also find the Wikipedia Editorial Model Flowchart especially useful as a practical framework for understanding editorial decision-making and safeguards against disinformation.
I would be glad to learn more about the project and explore possible areas for collaboration or knowledge exchange. There may be valuable opportunities to reflect on how these lessons and models could inform similar efforts beyond Europe, including in emerging democracies and different linguistic and cultural contexts.
Thank you once again for sharing this work. I look forward to continuing the conversation.
We can continue our conversation off the list.
Warm regards,
Amb. Olushola Olaniyan

Dear Amb. Olushola Olaniyan
We've been implementing DEM-Debate project as Wikimedia Europe, the University of Amsterdam and Eurecat – Centre Tecnològic de Catalunya and the Wikimedia communities in Europe.
The DEM-Debate project aims to explore whether, and how, the fact-checking and moderation practices used by Wikipedia during the 2024 European Parliament election have enhanced the reliability of the information ecosystem. You can read more on our blog, where you can find mapping of Policies and risk-mitigation measures on election disinformation by Wikipedia and more. Based on English language content, we also drafted this Wikipedia Editorial Model Flowchart (our first public version that will be further improved and translated - anyone with feedback is welcomed to share it with us). Perhaps this could be useful.
Let me know if you'd like to learn more :) We are happy to connect with you and explore if there is room for collaboration and exchange on the topic.
Cheers,
Van Anh

Dear Friends,
Wikimedia User Group Nigeria( WUGN) is exploring a partnership with a Nigerian technology company to develop an Election Monitoring and Information Integrity System. The proposed platform will leverage Wikipedia and Wikidata to help curb election-related misinformation, document verifiable electoral events, and track incidents of election-related violence in a neutral, transparent, and verifiable manner.
The initiative is conceived as a public-interest, non-partisan tool that strengthens access to reliable information during electoral processes, while aligning with Wikimedia’s core values of neutrality, verifiability, and free knowledge.
As part of our ongoing engagement with the technology partner, we are seeking insights from Wikimedia affiliates, movement partners, and practitioners who have prior experience working on elections, civic technology, misinformation response, open data, or human rights documentation within the Wikimedia ecosystem and beyond.
Specifically, we would welcome guidance on the following areas:
- Ethical and Policy Considerations
Risks related to editor safety, privacy, and data protection
Neutrality, conflict sensitivity, and avoidance of political bias
Compliance with Wikimedia policies, including BLP, NOR, and verifiability
- Key Challenges and Risk Factors
Misinformation, disinformation, and coordinated manipulation
Data reliability, sourcing, and real-time verification constraints
Legal, regulatory, and security challenges in electoral contexts
- Lessons Learned and Success Stories
Examples of similar initiatives within the Wikimedia movement or allied open knowledge communities
What worked well, what failed, and why
Strategies for community engagement and sustainability
- Potential Funding and Partnership Opportunities
Likely funding organizations, donors, or grant mechanisms
Opportunities for collaboration with civil society, election observers, or research institutions
- Impact and Measurement (Optional Input)
Indicators for measuring impact on misinformation reduction and public trust
Long-term value for Wikipedia, Wikidata, and the broader free knowledge ecosystem.
The feedback from this consultation will inform our design choices, governance framework, and sustainability plan, ensuring the initiative is responsibly implemented and aligned with movement-wide best practices.
Best regards,
Amb. Olushola Olaniyan

Hi Shola,
What a great opportunity!
I encourage you to connect with @Jael Boateng jboateng@ofwafrica.org to learn more about the Information Integrity Workshop that they recently held, which builds directly on the 'Ghana Polls' election information integrity program. You can read more about the information integrity workshops they ran and the partnerships they forged to bring relevant expertise together in this blog post https://diff.wikimedia.org/2025/12/07/information-integrity-workshop-2025/. A prospective partner worth engaging in Nigeria is the *Media Foundation West Africa, *as Wikimedians in Ghana did.
Paradigm Initiative should also be on your radar as worth partnering with, particularly given their origins in Nigeria. They run a program called "DREAM": The Digital Rights and Elections in Africa Monitor. They bring together key election stakeholders to raise awareness and educate stakeholders on the importance of digital rights in the election process. You can learn more about Paradigm's DREAM program here. https://paradigmhq.org/programs/digital-rights/digital-rights-and-elections-in-africa-monitor/
Kind regards, Ziski

Hi Lille and Isla,
Thank you once again for your feedback and the helpful context you shared in your email. It was very insightful and greatly appreciated.
Our project aims to leverage Wikipedia and the Wikidata model to help manage misinformation and monitor election-related violence. This will be supported by a bot-driven fact-checking system and a user-friendly platform for reporting and sharing verified findings.
We have a clear strategy and outcomes in place. At this stage, we are seeking collaboration with both a technology company and a fact-checking organisation to support the design and development of the system.
Our goal is to launch a pilot ahead of the upcoming election in Benin. The insights gained from this pilot will then inform our implementation for the elections in The Gambia and Nigeria later in the year.
As mentioned in my previous email, we are actively exploring partnerships to strengthen areas where we currently lack capacity and welcome support from organisations or individuals interested in collaborating.
Warm regards, Olushola Olaniyan
The plan is on-going, and we appreciate all feedback and support.
Kind regards, Olushola Olaniyan

Hi Shola, hi all,
indeed an interesting project, wishing you best of luck! Adding some info that might be of interest:
You remember correctly, Isla :) WMDE took part in a public fact-checking experiment with ZDF, Germany's second-largest public broadcaster, ahead of the 2013 federal election to verify politicians' statements. Here is a documentation https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikimedia_Deutschland/ZDFcheck (in German). The idea: Wikipedian Tim Moritz Hector served as Wikipedian in residence at ZDF, where he researched politicians' statements with a professional fact-checking team and in collaboration with Wikipedians. ZDF then made the graphics, interviews, and texts produced for this format available under a Creative Commons license. Important to note: We hoped that the format would raise awareness of the importance of fact-based political decision-making and appreciation for the work of Wikipedia volunteers, and generate a lot of free, high-quality content for Wikipedia. However, there was also significant criticism of this concept from community members, who primarily rejected the possibility of the community being co-opted and perceived as a “service provider.” I'm afraid I don't remember the long discussions and other points of criticism, please forgive me.
The page you linked to provides a brief description of two other WMDE projects in the context of state, federal, and European elections: With the tool Digital-O-Mat, voters could see which party best matched their own views on policies for a digital democracy. It's a tool we created with other digital rights organizations https://digitalomat25.de/about/to make digital policy positions more known, visible, and comparable between parties in the interest of free knowledge. The effect in brief: The tool was accepted, but mainly by a bubble that was already interested in digital policy. In Germany, there are now a large number of “-o-mats” for various areas of interest before elections, but in my opinion, interest in them has waned. Currently, we are no longer running the tool.
Face the Facts was an app that visualized all the important details about politicians right on the election campaign posters as an easy way for voters to get an overall picture of a candidate and to quickly identify who comes closest to their own political beliefs. The app was created as an open source tool in the WMDE project UNLOCK Accelerator https://www.wikimedia.de/unlock/about-unlock/ (which also no longer exists).
Best regards Lilli
