Hi,
Having a set photowalk route might have a good return in terms of photos
uploaded and particular locations covered. But I was wondering if arranging
this as primarily a single rigid route and a single photowalk like
apparently already done in five older editions, is focusing more on
processes rather than orienting this towards end results.
In this regard, I was wondering if it might be interesting to experiment
with the scheduled event primarily being a presentation and information
meeting to spread the word and have sign-ups there for maybe some few at
least 3 or 4 different routes (apart from a larger list of candidate
locations) anchored by at least one person who has been with previous
wikipedia community events for some time,
apart from informing people that if they upload photos in the next few days
from that larger list of locations already shared at the event page
(publicised through press, facebook, etc through this meeting) and shared
at the event announcement. Including with pointers to links on why
uploading to wikipedia first, apart from facebook, is more critical, and
guidelines on how to ensure successful wikipedia contribution of the photo.
Then they would be eligible for more number of people picking up those
photos as part of commons, apart from recognition from online community.
I was trying to see whether some other cities might have tried this, in
terms of being more goal-oriented or end result picture/article documented,
and thought this might be interesting:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Takes_Ahmedabad
In this regard then, we should go the other way and publicise the event
rather than restrict it to a smaller grouping.
(Even if at the cost of not providing any freebies/goodies, like lunch,
water, etc... on any of the walks. Which can be mentioned explicitly in
advance at the event page too, that people should carry on themselves in
advance. Like when we go walking, exploring, anywhere else.)
I find this idea interesting also in light of the different people one
meets in photowalks happening around the city every weekend, including DCP,
SundayWalks, etc etc.
Was curious how these developments might help this event grow more
impactful.
