Press List Update
by Mike Halterman 12 Jul '07

12 Jul '07

I'm emailing everyone to give them a press list update. I was able to find contact information for the Associated Press reporters in the state of Florida. Then I moved on to the Canada press list and called nearly every local news office the CBC has, and updated that information (it was largely absent from the list). Today, I also started a Haitian American tab and managed to contact two people (out of nine, all nine phone numbers are in the chart if anyone wants to call them yourselves). Sandy instructed me to start a Haitian American press list so when the time comes, we can find avenues to promote the fledgling Haitian Creole Wikipedia (http://ht.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paj_Prensipal), which has just over 7,000 articles at present. Hope everyone has a good weekend! -Mike ____________________________________________________________________________________ Choose the right car based on your needs. Check out Yahoo!

Comproj Advice - Need Academics Input
by Sandy Ordonez 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

Hey, we got a request from a reporter regarding how to apply our projects to local schools. Since this is something that we would like to start promoting more in the future, and since I know that there are some individuals on this list who are academics, I was hoping you guys could share some of your thoughts. I've posted the reporters questions here. However, whatever you post, will be used to create standard talking points about this issue. http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Template_Questions_for_Reporters best, sandy -- Sandy Ordonez Communications Manager Wikimedia Foundation, Inc.

Wikimania
by Sandy Ordonez 11 Jul '07

11 Jul '07

This is probably being discussed somewhere, but it would be nice if a team of Wikinews volunteers covered wikimania, and then, we could use their coverage to send to reporters/interested parties, etc. after the conference. (IE announce if it was a success, show highlights, etc.) Does anyone know is there is a group of Wikinews individuals who are planning on doing this. Ie, we can send out email to press list and then post on wikimedia foundation site. Is anyone interested in this project? Please email me, and I'll set up project page on ComProj Calendar.

Below is a DRAFT of the Wikimania Kit. The pages are not in order, and are only suggestions. More information may need to be added, such as schedule of Events, speakers bios etc. Please add/delete/edit. Wikimania Planning team needs this asap, so it would be great if all edits are done by Monday evening. (July 9). I placed on Meta, so everyone has access.

Master of the Obvious - Case Studies
by Sandy Ordonez 06 Jul '07

06 Jul '07

You guys probably seen this already, but you have seen the cool stories that were placed on the Case STudies page you guys created: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Success_Stories_-_How_has_Wikimedia_Changed_… ROCK ON! I'm taken some of the quotes to be included in Wikimania Press kit...However, I've not used the names, and simply put Wikipedian User and Teacher, Wikipedian User and Father, etc. This is awesome...sorry, when I went to the page, I had no idea it had grown so much! also, Would someone be willing to follow up with the following and actually try to contact and get a direct quote from Professor Isola and Prof. Adewole. Maybe conduct a short interview? this would be a cool case study to actual write...ie about a page. Let me know if someone wants to follow up with this. News about Yoruba wikipedia on Radio News about the Yoruba wikipedia was broadcast on Radio today (11th June, 2007) at Orisun FM Radio, Ile-Ife, Nigeria. Both Prof Isola and Prof Adewole who commented on the wikipedia were of the opinion that now that many Yoruba students are used to the internet, a wikipedia written in Yoruba will encourage them to develp more interest in the language.
