Hi Siska,

Hi Kizu,
1) I leave message on your facebook, are you planning to go to Argentina for
Wiki Women Camp?
I'm very interested in (I have just learned about it), but not sure:
if I got funded ... it's the farthest place from me, you know.
2) Indonesia also hosted a similar edit thing-a-thon but with a complete
strangers (never edited wikipedia before), the turn out is pretty low unless
a university was interviering. In our experience for newbees it is better to
prepare an article for them WITH the citations. So first timer only learn to
type, code, and adding citation.
Thank you for sharing your experience. Re newbies and edits, it sounds
to make a sense: we tend to forget but for the first time it was big
deals to handle wiki mark-ups. Next, it sounds very wise to have them
add citation from the first time. If they were amended to cite sources
at the beginning, they may fail to perceive it's a must (or we'd like
them to think it as a must ...).
For us that works pretty well but a hell of a
preparation for the committee
that they (the committee end up being paid for monitoring and finding out
resources)
Wow, it sounds interesting. Have you released a report of that event,
in English if possible? Could you please give a link?
Cheers,

Hi,
yesterday in National Diet Library Kansai Branch, local Wikimedians in
Kansai and around had a sort of edit-a-thon,
focusing on citation of sources, which Wikimedians in Kansai
(WiKansai) collaborated to hold proudly.
Invitation was on the Japanese Wikipedia but no sitenotice was used.
We reserved a room at NDL as ordinary users, that is, they were not
affiliated to our event.
While it rained, and the library was situated in a remote area, six
editors joined. We hadn't expect casual users to join and we had been
right to some extent, but not every attendee were hyperactive, so
sharing experiences happened on several topics from art of prose
rethoric for articles to template know-hows. Some attendees including
me has visited NDL Kansai Branch first ever, so it was beneficial for
us to share knowledge tp ise tjeor facilities. I could make time only
for two hours because of private affairs but could make two articles
on the Japanese Wikiquote to full source-cited. All other attendees
seem to be content with their own work of the day. After the Citation
Party, we had a dinner together and exchanged thought and opinions
mainly on the Japanese Wikipedia.
We agreed on that the event of the day was fruitful and that we'd love
to host a similar event hopefully near future. There would be a lot of
points to improve, so your input will be appreciated.
Cheers,
