(Please excuse the cross-posting.) Hi outreach-focused people! In case you haven't seen Sage's blog post[1] or didn't see me at Wikimania, we have a new brochure that introduces newbies to contributing files to Wikimedia Commons, called "Illustrating Wikipedia: A guide to contributing content to Wikimedia Commons"[2]. Design files are available in both Scribus and InDesign, and the text is available for translation through the translatewiki extension[3]. I'm excited to see it's nearly complete in Spanish, and translations are underway in French, Polish, Swedish, and Turkish! I have some printed copies available in English. If you're doing an event and having printed copies of the brochure in English would be useful, please let me know offlist how many you need, what mailing address I should send them too, and when you need them by. This offer is also open for the Welcome to Wikipedia[4] brochure, the Evaluating Wikipedia[5] brochure, the Instructor Basics[6] brochure, the Case Studies[7] brochure, and the Syllabus[8] brochure. Of course, they're all also available on Commons if digital copies will suffice. I hope the new brochure is useful to your work!

Hello, I have previously reported about some of our activities in the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (Greece). I have generated some statistics based on a questionnaire we had given to the students, and wrote about this in OKFN Greece blog: http://gr.okfn.org/en/blog/ Konstantinos Stampoulis geraki(a)geraki.gr http://www.geraki.gr ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Οι παραπάνω απόψεις είναι προσωπικές και δεν εκφράζουν παρά μόνο εμένα.

Achievability of a Wikikids in english
by Mathias Damour 04 Sep '13

04 Sep '13

Hi, I wrote you a message a month ago about Wikikids/Vikidia: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids. I recently had a discussion on IRC about this proposal. Someone pointed out firstly a 2006 UK act that regulate internet moderators on children website, and require a vetting process for them. That's the UK Safeguarding Vulnerable Groups Act 2006: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Safeguarding_Vulnerable_Groups_Act_2006 It defines "regulated activities" among which: "moderating a public electronic interactive communication service which is likely to be used wholly or mainly by children;" then "a person moderates a public electronic interactive communication service if, for the purpose of protecting children, he has any function relating to—(a)monitoring the content of matter which forms any part of the service,(b)removing matter from, or preventing the addition of matter to, the service, or(c)controlling access to, or use of, the service." http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2006/47/schedule/4/paragraph/2/2006-11-… I'm afraid that's what the sysop do on Vikidia. This wiki is hosted in France for a content in french, but I wonder if it would prevent to run a similar wiki in english, be it hosted in the US or elsewhere. What do you think about it ? I was also told that they were a kind of unexpressed policy on the English Wikipedia that would be "Don't tell us you're a minor". As it would be likely extended to another Wikimedia project, it would make very tricky to make Wikimedians accept a Wikikids project, that aims to enable children and teenagers (though not only them) to write and to be involved in building the encyclopedia. I have to recognize that Simple English Wikipedia actually seems to me to follow this pattern, with a kind of similar principle that would be "don't say that it fits/it's for children"... The rest of the reasoning was about the "cultural climate surrounding kids in America", especially concerns about pedophiles. I responded that they were also legal standing for children empowerment which meet the project (especially referring to the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/Relation_to_the_Rights_of_the_Child ) I had quite an idea about these issues before, both knowing some specificities in the UK and the US, and because theses concerned have raised and evolved in similar period in France, certainly with some differences. But now I wonder if these concerned are too weighty to be oversteped. Then if a wikikids were unlikely to be launched in English, has the adoption of the project and opening in other languages (German...) any chance to be accepted and uphold by the Wikimedia community ? -- Mathias Damour 49 rue Carnot 74000 Annecy 04 57 09 10 56 06 27 13 65 51 mathias.damour(a)laposte.net

The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter, Edition 3, September 1, 2013
by Laura Hale 01 Sep '13

01 Sep '13

https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Newsletter/3 The Wikinewsie Group Newsletter Sharing news about the group's activities and things taking place on local Wikinews projects. Shortcut <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Meta:Shortcut>: WM:WIKINEWSIE <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WM:WIKINEWSIE> Key resources - Home <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group> - TWG Newsletter<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Newsletter> - #wikinewsie-group <irc://irc.freenode.net/wikinewsie-group>connect<http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=#wikinewsie-group> - The Wikinewsie Group IRC Channel - wikinewsie[image: at ]googlegroups.com - Email discussion list - join here! <https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups#!forum/wikinewsie> ------------------------------ The Wikinewsie Group News Edition 3, September 1, 2013Education and Research - On English Wikinews, there is work to make some educational videos to assist users in understanding how the review process works, and how to write an article using screencast. Videos created so far include: A review of an English Wikinews article to let people see how that looks.<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Reviewing_an_English_Wikinews_article.…> , A walk through of an article being written for English Wikinews to let people see how one person writes an article.<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Writing_a_Wikinews_article.oggtheora.o…> , A walk through of creating an article on English Wikinews with a Doctor Who related news story as an example.<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Writing_a_Wikinews_article_-_Doctor_Wh…> - A few of the provisional board members had intense discussions about the preferred research practices to inform key decision making in regards to developing the most effective programming with the goals of 1) working with educators to instill core journalistic values, 2) engage in quality original reporting that can be shared across projects, and 3) improve the diversity and quantity of the current contributor base to Wikinews projects. The ideal research often depends on context, but that in doing on project related work,action research<http://www.lab.brown.edu/pubs/themes_ed/act_research.pdf> is probably the ideal as it is an outcome improvement driven approach. - In further regards to research methodologies, three of the provisional board members read The art, science and mystery of nonprofit news assessment<http://investigativereportingworkshop.org/ilab/story/measuring-impact/> by the Investigative Reporting Workshop. This document discusses some of the challenges non-profit related journalism sites have in assessment as it pertains to their own reporting. A discussion was also held regarding the issue of information anonymization when it comes to any research being conducted by The Wikinewsie Group using on Wikinews publicly accessible information, content and data. Sources looked at and discussed included Researching the public web<http://eresearch-ethics.org/position/researching-the-public-web/> and Forum Guide to Data Ethics <http://nces.ed.gov/pubs2010/2010801.pdf>. There is a feeling by some of the provisional board members that the WMF, through the Grants programs and the Program Evaluation and Design group need to provide greater guidance regarding what sort of information collection and analysis is expected, what privacy guidelines will be expected, what will be publicly expected, what will be privately expected, if these match and how to handle any discrepancy between these guidelines. At the same time, documentation for the WMF as it pertains to outcomes needs to be clear as to the audience and objectives in conducting the research. These issues become vitally important as increasing contributor output research differs from research focused on providing an environment to encourage best practices for journalists, with a goal of bringing more educators to the project to assist in accomplishing this goal. - Brian Keegan talked about newswork on Wikipedia from a Wikipedia perspective (that ignores definitions of news) and failed to acknowledge the importance of original reporting and citizen driven journalism in his negative critique of Wikinews. At the same time, he failed to acknowledge the lack of investment by the Wikimedia Foundation in supporting Wikinews and other sister projects in strategically growing and supporting the Foundation's mission. Technology - Given the issues with spying on government listening to communications<https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/en:Listening_to_you_at_last:_EU_plans_to_tap_c…>, Scoop will be 'deprecated', and the recipients list trimmed back progressively have the membership list culled to make sure only reviewers and accredited reports have access to reporter notes for story verification. A new mailbox will be set up for incoming material that needs the attention of reviewers. [1]<https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews:Water_cooler/technical&c…> - On English Wikinews, a draft has been started at Wikinews:Visual Editor<https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/en:Wikinews:Visual_Editor> to let the Visual Editor team know some of the issues involved in working on bringing VE live to the project. This is vitally important to be done right and that VE works with the only main entrance point to writing new articles, because if done without considering the gateway, it would create massive technical problems that would like make it impossible for article review for publication to be completed. - On English Wikinews, efforts are underway to see about using DPL to sort images by date and to better highlight featured articles that appear in a category by calling them out seperately. This is likely to be a long term, wikignome type activity. [2]<https://en.wikinews.org/w/index.php?title=Wikinews%3AWater_cooler%2Ftechnic…> - A bug was fixed in wmtran <https://tools.wmflabs.org/wmtran/>, the translation helper tool, to correct URLs of preview wiki-links. Relevant contact information is now also available at the tool page header. Reporting - On English Wikinews, there has been a substantial amount of original reporting done in the past 18 months that involved the uploading both local multimedia and multimedia to Commons. An effort is underway to categorize these images locally better highlight the original reporting of the multimedia including type. It will also provide easier access for reporters to file photos for re-use in other articles. The major category work was done on 2012 Summer Paralympics<https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Category:2012_Summer_Paralympics> . - Following Jimmy Wales's speech at Wikimania, The Wikinewsie Group<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group> reached out to him via e-mail to see how we could work with to accomplish his stated aims in the context of our proposed organization. There are a number of shared goals, including making it possible for Wikinews contributors to do original reporting full time on the project. Susequently, he has been engaging in dialog with several English Wikinews reporters on his Wikinews talk page <https://en.wikinews.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales>. - A survey has been created<https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1kvLJYT8tKFmOoK-7mb8yWDc9yojT8b2nEElgwepCQh…> to better understand the existing original reporting costs associated with current Wikinews production. Reporters across all languages who have contributed to original reporting on any language Wikinews project reported on in our newsletter have been pinged on their talk pages asking them to complete the survey. Three different language projects have been notified of the survey on Facebook. The survey has also been linked to on Twitter. The goal of the survey is to be able to understand the value of original reporting, where money is currently being spent and by whom, and to have data that will better enable The Wikinewsie Group and project volunteer reporters to apply for grants related to conducting more original reporting. Survey results are currently being processed with a plan of having some research published for reference in the next newsletter. ------------------------------ Opinion pieces *For our next newsletter, we are encouraging Wikinewsies to define news and how Wikinews provides it.* - What news is not<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Newsletter/3/What_news…> by LauraHale <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:LauraHale> - The Tao of Wikinews<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/The_Wikinewsie_Group/Newsletter/3/The_Tao_o…> by Pi zero <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Pi_zero> ------------------------------ Original reporting The following is a list of all original reporting done on Wikinews projects from August 1, 2013 to August 31, 2013.

Extended deadline for EduWiki Call for Proposals
by Toni Sant 23 Aug '13

23 Aug '13

================== PLEASE DISTRIBUTE WIDELY ================== Kindly note that the deadline for Call for Proposals for the EduWiki Conference 2013 taking place in Wales this November has been extended to Friday 30 August 2013 at noon BST. One reason this has been necessary is that the announcement on the WMUK wiki carried a typo in the email address to which proposals should be sent. This has now been amended appropriately. The correct email address is education(a)wikimedia.org.uk Details available at http://uk.wikimedia.org/wiki/EduWiki_Conference_2013/Call_for_proposals I'm also more than happy to answer any personal queries directly.

Wikikids/Vikidia
by Mathias Damour 14 Aug '13

14 Aug '13

Hi, We've been refining some points of the Wikikids <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids> proposal for a new Wikimedia Foundation Sister Project<http://fr.vikidia.org>. We have fixed and added some points on Wikikids/For children or by children ? <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/For_children_or_by_children_%3F>‎ and Wikikids/Questions and answers <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids/Questions_and_answers> Current step must be to work on the Wikikids#Project plan and potential schedule for the proposal <http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikikids#Project_plan_and_potential_schedule…>, and within it, establishing the basic principles and rules for the wikis to open or adopt, and set up a requests for comment. Beside the "knowledge resource" benefit of such a project, it would certainly also expand the opportunities for the wiki education programs. I mean it can enable to reach younger pupils, that will learn not only from the content of such a Wikikids and about its functioning, but by the way about the functioning of a resource they will use extensively few years later: Wikipedia :-) . Indeed, this proposal critically needs your remarks, questions, criticisms, support (#People interested) and help/involvement if you think it deserves it! -- Mathias Damour 49 rue Carnot F-74000 Annecy 00 33 (0)4 57 09 10 56 00 33 (0)6 27 13 65 51 mathias.damour(a)laposte.net http://fr.vikidia.org/wiki/Utilisateur:Astirmays

*Please circulate widely...* ____________________ *============================================== EduWiki Conference 2013 - Call for proposals ==============================================* *Wikimedia UK's second annual EduWiki conference will take place in Cardiff on 1 and 2 November 2013. * A recent white paper from TurnItIn, the online plagiarism-prevention service used widely across higher education in the UK, claims that "Wikipedia has an outsized presence as a content source for student writing". [1] This study is based on an analysis of over 112 million content matches from 28 million student papers submitted to TurnItIn between July 2011 and June 2012. 11% of these content matches are from Wikipedia. However, the same report is quick to explain that Wikipedia has academic merit in terms of educational value. TurnItIn's recommendation is to "educate students that the true value of Wikipedia is to provide a curated summary on a topic, and that they should follow the sources and citations at the bottom of Wikipedia entries to verify the accuracy of the information and to uncover primary source material" [2]. Wikmedia UK is now inviting proposals for papers, presentation, provocations and/or posters, especially ones addressing the Wikipedia problem highlighted by the TurnItIn white paper. Proposal for panels and roundtable discussions from groups of three or four participants are also welcome. Indicative topics include, but are not limited to: * Wikipedia belongs in Education, including Higher Education * Wikipedia's academic merit and educational value * Examples of using Wikipedia in the high school, college or university classroom * Ways to deter university students from plagiarizing Wikipedia * Going beyond Wikipedia by engaging with any of the other major Wikimedia projects: Wikibooks, Wikispecies, Wikiquote, Wikinews, Wikisource, Wikiversity, Wikidata, and Wikimedia Commons, among others. *Email your proposal (including an abstract of up to 200 words) to education(a)wikimedia.org.uk by Monday 26 August 2013. All proposals should also include a brief bio (around 50 words). Queries about the conference or any other aspect of Wikimedia UK's Education activities can be sent directly to WMUK's Education Organiser toni.sant(a)wikimedia.org.uk* *Notes*: [1] TurnItIn White Paper.
