Subject: [African Wikimedians] Organizing a Writing Contest on notable
African women for Wikipedia 15
To: Mailing list for African Wikimedians <
african-wikimedians(a)lists.wikimedia.org>
Hello friends
Isla and I thought of organizing a Writing Contest as part of Wikipedia 15
global celebrations and we would like your feedback (and hopefully support
:)) on that idea.
The general idea would be to organize a Contest that will be officially
launched on the 15th of January and will have a duration of 15 days.
The goal would be to write 15 articles on notable african women. Each team
would work only on one article. It would operated in English and French.
Two juries would decide on the best articles (probably with a "best
quality" or "largest quantity" approach, with some bonus prizes for
special
cases such as "solo team" or best media). We should hopefully be able to
get some little prices for the winners.
One point upon which we are undecided (and will welcome very much your
feedback ;)) is about how the teams would best form.
- Should we rather do "country teams" ? eg, Team Ghana, team Ivory Coast,
team Algeria etc.
- or should we rather do "free choice team" where people would freely
propose an article to create and other people would join in, whatever their
country ?
There are arguments for and against both options. Traditionnaly, most
Writing Contest on Wikipedia are "free choice team" (for example, for the
WikiConcours on the French Wikipedia here :
https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipédia:Wikiconcours) and allow to be very
inclusive of everyone, but there are also arguments in favor of Country
teams only.
What do you think ?
Anthere
