Hi,

I would like to ask if you could post your messages to:

https://jiscmail.ac.uk/lists/CIG-E-FORUM.html

Here in the UK we are trying to raise awareness of all things Wikipedia/Media/Data amongst our cataloguing & metadata workforce as this gives us the perfect opportunity to create, share, enrich and maintain metadata outside of the restricted access MARC environment.

It would be really great if these messages from your group could raise awareness of the possibilities.

It might also engender a bit more support for structured training and workforce development.

Many thanks,

Jane

Hi Everyone,

I would like to interest those of you working with GLAM institutions, but also with individuals who are artists, photographers, filmmakers and other creators, in a project "Creators in Wikipedia".

The project links a series of targeted workshops, prepared from the point of view of creative professionals, training them in a range of Wiki skills - combined with a plan to prepare an "all-in-one" textbook/manual, explaining licenses, OTRS (this may be especially useful), reuse and many other basics. This would have an English version and files letting people easily prepare translations into other languages/localise examples used.

The idea is also to introduce and connect this group of users to existing Wikipedia initiatives - such as Art+Feminism, Women in Red, Wiki loves SDGs, Wiki For Human Rights and Documenting Ukraine's Cultural Heritage.

Here is the project proposal: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczewska/Creators_and_Wikipedia

Please let me know if you have comments, ideas, or suggestions. If you consider the project worthwhile, please endorse here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Marta_Malina_Moraczewska/Creators_and_Wikipedia#Endorsements

Also do let me know if you would like to take part in the project - as a workshop guest (they will be partially run in English), to contribute to the "textbook"/manual material, or to participate in its review. The program is mainly addressed at audiences from CEE countries but hopefully is adaptable to other uses.

Thanks for reading! Hope to hear your thoughts.

Best wishes!
