Bonjour à toutes et à tous,
Je suis de retour un peu plus tôt cette année avec une nouvelle excitante!
Au nom de l’équipe Wiki Loves Women
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Team>, je suis ravie
d’annoncer que la campagne #SheSaid
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wiki_Loves_Women/SheSaid>
aura lieu à nouveau en 2025! Du 1er septembre au 31 décembre, nous
célébrerons et amplifierons une fois de plus les voix de femmes
remarquables sur Wikiquote et au-delà.
Pour vous aider à concrétiser vos idées #SheSaid, voici les dates limites
des subventions rapides Wikimedia
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid> à ne pas manquer :
-
Cycle 1, 2025 — Date limite : 1er juillet 2025
-
Cycle 2, 2025 — Date limite : 1er septembre 2025
Note importante : si vous prévoyez de participer à la campagne cette année,
le Cycle 2 risque d’être trop tard pour obtenir le soutien à temps — nous
recommandons vivement de postuler dès le Cycle 1 afin que votre subvention
soit approuvée avant le début de la campagne.
Il y a aussi la possibilité de demander un micro-financement via WikiFranca
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiFranca/Micro-financement/en>.
Si vous avez des questions ou souhaitez discuter de vos idées, je suis à
votre disposition ici ou sur Telegram <https://t.me/+V4gvV4HK_4RhZmI0>,
selon ce qui vous convient le mieux.
Pour rappel de ce que nous pouvons accomplir ensemble : lors de la dernière
édition, un total de *11 029 articles* ont été créés ou améliorés; dont 10
091 nouveaux articles et 938 améliorations, répartis sur 19 Wikiquotes en
différentes langues. Ces étapes incroyables témoignent de la puissance de
la collaboration mondiale, portée par 18 communautés engagées à travers le
monde.
À bientôt!

Dear Wikimedians,
We hope this email finds you well. We invite you to join the next
episode of WikiAfrica Hour "Organize, Lead, Sustain: The Power of
Wikimedia Bodies”
We are very excited to discuss this topic with the episode guests and
your joining is very valuable.
What can you expect from the episode?
Behind every Wikimedia project is a network of passionate
individuals—and the structures that help them thrive. In this episode,
we explore the types of collaborative groups that power the Wikimedia
movement, from User Groups to Thematic Organizations and Chapters. Why
are these bodies so essential, and how do they help communities organize
themselves around shared goals, whether local or thematic? We’ll unpack
the steps to start a group, how to choose the right structure, and why
some regions have many groups coexisting.
Our guests will share ideas for building capacity, attracting leaders,
and evolving from grassroots efforts into stable organizations. We’ll
also discuss practical insights on funding—from Wikimedia sources to
external partnerships—and how communities sustain themselves financially
and strategically. Finally, we dive into the challenges of long-term
sustainability and what it takes to keep governance structures healthy,
adaptive, and impactful over time.
Who are the guest speakers?

Hello all,
It’s me — back a little earlier this year with exciting news!
On behalf of the Wiki Loves Women team
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Loves_Women/Team>, I’m thrilled to
announce that the #SheSaid campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wiki_Loves_Women/SheSaid>
is running again in 2025! From September 1st to December 31st, we’ll once
again be celebrating and amplifying the voices of remarkable women across
Wikiquote and beyond.
To help you bring your #SheSaid ideas to life, here are the Wikimedia Rapid
Grant <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid> deadlines you
need to keep in mind:
-
Cycle 1, 2025 — Deadline: July 1, 2025
-
Cycle 2, 2025 — Deadline: September 1, 2025
Important note: If you plan to join this year’s campaign, Cycle 2 might be
too late to get the support in time — we highly recommend applying in Cycle
1 to ensure your grant is approved before the campaign begins.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss ideas, I’m happy to
answer them here or on Telegram <https://t.me/+V4gvV4HK_4RhZmI0> —
whichever works best for you.
As a reminder of what we can achieve together: in the last edition, a total
of 11,029 articles were created or improved — with 10,091 new and 938
improved articles across 19 language Wikiquotes. These incredible
milestones reflect the power of global collaboration, driven by 18
dedicated communities around the world.
Let’s make this year’s #SheSaid campaign louder, bolder, and more impactful!
Cheers!
