Re: [GLAM] [Wikimedia-l] Join the Months of African Cinema Global Edit-a-Thon

Hey Sam, Great timing on the questions about tools! I recently published a framework for organizing campaigns that describes the existing tools used for different stages in Campaigns: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework . [1] If you or your volunteers helping with metrics want to talk through the various metrics options and what you would like to measure, I would be happy to workshop those ideas with you. We are still piloting the framework -- so testing those parts with you would be great -- I would love to learn where you have other questions.

Help us improve a framework for supporting content campaigns!
by Alex Stinson 23 Sep '19

23 Sep '19

Hello everyone, Apologies for cross-posting, and please forward to communities who you think will be interested. In light of the movement’s increased focus on diversity and becoming essential infrastructure for diverse human knowledge, the Community Programs team at the WMF has begun investigating the use of content campaigns in the movement. Campaigns are some of the most reliable ways to create new content and introduce new contributors to the movement, but we have a lot of questions like: What are the different steps that our community organizers have to go through in order to organize campaigns and contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments, Wikipedia Asian Month, #1lib1ref Wikidata Menu Challenge etc.? What are the tools that are being used in organizing these campaigns and contests such as PetScan, Listeria, CitationHunt, Fountain, wscontest tool, Outreach Dashboard etc.? During some initial research into the space, we have developed a draft Organizer Framework <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework>[1] that highlights key stages in organizing any campaign/contest and the documentation that we could find supporting those stages. Now, we need your help us improve the framework so that we can help less experienced organizers understand how to better support content campaigns. Please join us in discussing the framework and provide feedback on the talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Campaigns/Organizer_Frame…>[2] or connect with us on the discuss forum.[3] If you want to reach out directly, feel free to email us at astinson(a)wikimedia.org or sgill(a)wikimedia.org.

Images on Commons stats
by Rebecca O'Neill 19 Sep '19

19 Sep '19

Hi all, So far in Ireland, we have only had one institution donate images to Commons, and that was the Hunt Museum with the Sybil Connolly images <https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Collections_of_the_Hunt_Museum>. I know how to find stats for individual files on Commons, but is there a way to get stats for a group or collection of images? Thanks so much!

Re: [GLAM] Wiki loves the Caribbean/El Caribe...
by Jenemann, Laura 18 Sep '19

18 Sep '19

Hi Wikipedians, Has Wikipedia ever done a Wiki loves the Caribbean, El Caribe, or a similar campaign? I know that the Caribbean encompasses a variety of Wikipedia geographical organizations – including the U.S.! – so I wondered how they have been represented in larger campaigns. Also thinking of this as WikiConference America approaches. Just a musing from me, loving learning about others work, too! Best wishes, Laura -- Laura Jenemann Communication, Media, & Film Librarian Boston University Libraries 617-353-9240 ljeneman(a)bu.edu<mailto:ljeneman@bu.edu>

Next LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group Call on Tuesday, September 10th
by Hilary K Thorsen 06 Sep '19

06 Sep '19

Greetings everyone, Our next biweekly LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group call is Tuesday, September 10th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST. We'll be discussing references in Wikidata and will take a closer look at the Cradle tool. The call details are below. To receive notification about upcoming calls and meeting notes you can subscribe to the ld4-wikidata Google Group<https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/ld4-wikidata>, and if you aren't able to attend, the meetings are recorded and meeting notes available on Google Drive<https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7bC-j4-n>. If you haven't joined one of our calls before, the LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group is associated with the Linked Data for Production project<https://wiki.duraspace.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=104568167>. One of the goals of the project is understanding how libraries can contribute to and better integrate library metadata with Wikidata to improve access to library resources on the web. Wikidata offers exciting possibilities for libraries to become a part of the linked data landscape, share and reuse data, and discover new relationships and connections. The Affinity Group calls provide an informal space to share information and learn more about Wikidata. Call Details: Date and Time: Tuesday, September 10th at 9am PDT / 12pm EDT / 16:00 UTC / 6pm CEST (Time zone converter<https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/converter.html?iso=20190910T160000&p…>) Zoom link to join meeting: https://stanford.zoom.us/j/204437188 Agenda: https://docs.google.com/document/d/14oW7DoEMRQ8hy2Rj7V1kjbeNiL2chGTsPrqf239… Communication: Ld4-wikidata Google group: https://groups.google.com/d/forum/ld4-wikidata #wikidata channel on LD4 Slack: http://bit.ly/joinld4slack Notes in public LD4 Wikidata Affinity Group folder: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1JwTulCABs0TkGQDVSnYbIYEb7bC-j4-n Website: https://wiki.duraspace.org/display/LD4P2/LD4-Wikidata+Affinity+Group Cheers, Hilary Hilary Thorsen Wikimedian in Residence Linked Data for Production Project Digital Library Systems and Services Stanford Libraries Stanford, CA 94305 thorsenh(a)stanford.edu 650-285-9429
