Dear New England Wikimedians,
We are inviting the *New England Wikimedians User Group* to participate in *Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2021 https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2021*, a global contest scheduled to run from July first through August 31, 2021:
Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
In its first year (2020), 36 Wikimedia communities in 27 countries joined the campaign. Events relating to the campaign included training organized by at least 18 Wikimedia communities in 14 countries.
The campaign resulted in the addition of media files (photos, audios and videos) to more than 90,000 Wikipedia articles in 272 languages.
Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We’d be glad for you to reply to this email, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2021/Participating_Communities#Wikimedia_affiliate_communities .
Thank you,
Deborah Schwartz Jacobs (User:Deborahjay / debjay.wpwp@gmail.com) Communities liaison coordinator Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos campaign
