Thanks for sharing this, Marc. I've endorsed the
project overall (as a
volunteer, not staff), but also described some concerns/considerations with
some aspects of the proposal on the talk page.
Cheers,
Jonathan

Hello everyone,
My name is Marc Miquel and I am a researcher from Barcelona (Universitat
Pompeu Fabra).
While I was doing my PhD I studied whether an identity-based motivation
could be important for editor participation and I analyzed content
representing the editors' cultural context in 40 Wikipedia language
editions.
Few months later, I propose creating the *Wikipedia Cultural Diversity
Observatory* in order to raise awareness on Wikipedia’s current state of
cultural diversity, providing datasets, visualizations and statistics,
and
pointing out solutions to improve intercultural
coverage.
I am presenting this project to a grant and I expect that the site
becomes
a useful tool to help communities create more
multicultural
encyclopaedias
and bridge the content culture gap that exists
across language editions.
Here is the link of the project proposal:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Wikipedia_
Cultural_Diversity_Observatory_(WCDO)
If you like the project, I'd ask you to endorse it. In any case, I will
appreciate any feedback, comments,... Of course, you are invited to
become
participants, as there will be the need for users
in the testing part.
Thanks in advance for your time!
Best regards,
Marc Miquel
Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona
