Dear Wikdiata editors,
I am Kholoud, a researcher at the King’s College London, and I work on a
project as part of my PhD research that develops a personalized
recommendation system to suggest Wikidata items for the editors based on
their interests and preferences. I am collaborating on this project with
Elena Simperl and Miaojing Shi.
I would love to talk with you to know about your current ways to choose the
items you work on in Wikidata and understand the factors that might
influence such a decision. Your cooperation will give us valuable insights
into building a system that can help improve your editing experience.
Participation is completely voluntary. You have the option to withdraw at
any time. Your data will be processed under the terms of UK data protection
law (including the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the
Data Protection Act 2018). The information and data that you provide will
remain confidential; it will only be stored on the password-protected
computer of the researchers. We will use the results anonymized (?) to
provide insights into the practices of the editors in item selection
processes for editing and publish the results of the study to a research
venue. If you decide to take part, we will ask you to sign a consent form,
and you will be given a copy of this consent form to keep.
If you’re interested in participating and have 15-20 minutes to chat (I
promise to keep the time!), please either contact me on kholoudsaa(a)gmail.com
with your choice of the times that work for you or use this form
https://forms.gle/Nocj58LvFjjkf6XW6 to provide your preferred time, email
address and Wikidata username.
I’ll follow up with you to figure out what method is the best way for us to
connect.
Please contact me using the email mentioned above if you have any questions
or require more information about this project.
Thank you for reading this information sheet and for considering taking
part in this research.
Sincerely
Kholoud
Dear Affiliates,
It has been a very tough 20 months since the community last experienced the
joy and delight of coming together at Wikimania. Wikimedia Foundation staff
have been working hard since the decision was taken to cancel Wikimania in
Bangkok in 2020, trying to find a way we can come together and celebrate
our movement.
For 2021 we are going to host a virtual Wikimania with the aim of it being
by and for the community. We recently established the Core Organising Team
(COT) with volunteers from across our communities. As the COT develops the
event we will seek out your support and appreciate your help throughout
this new, yet very exciting process
WIKIMANIA UPDATES
In case you haven’t seen the latest information around this year’s virtual
Wikimania, here’s a few links to inform you of the latest developments.

Scholarships & Sessions
<https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org…>
The official Wikimania Wiki is currently being developed, and we will be
going live with this soon.
WIKIMANIA SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
As you may know, every year some people are awarded a scholarship to attend
Wikimania. These scholarships are through programs offered by different
affiliate organizations or the Foundation. The format of those scholarships
has been changed for this year as we don’t need to fund travel,
accomodation, conference fees, or visas for a virtual event. We do,
however, still have the resources that are usually allocated to Wikimania’s
scholarship program available. We therefore want to distribute those funds
to affiliate organizations interested in this opportunity.
This year we can lower the individual costs of scholarships, yet aim
bigger, and help more people participate in a virtual Wikimania.
We know every community will have different needs that will need to be
addressed to allow as many attendees as possible to join Wikimania, - this
is where we need your help! You know your local community best. So we would
like to empower you to make decisions as you best see fit.
WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?
With the support of the Foundation’s grants team we will be providing
funding to support people attending Wikimania. What we would like to have
happen is that we provide funds to your affiliate organization so that you
can tailor support that will best help your community. This funding is
available to all affiliates independent of any current grants like the APG.
HOW WILL THIS WORK IN PRACTICE?
Funding will come from the Foundation. As the Foundation teams sort out how
this can be done from a Legal, Finance and Administration standpoint. This
could simply mean redirecting a portion of existing grants and allocating
the spend to Wikimania. We will be sharing more information on how to apply
for this support in the upcoming period of time.
WHAT IS ELIGIBLE TO GET FUNDED?
Below is a list of examples of where we think scholarships can help;
* Data/Internet packages and temporary bandwidth so people can participate
* Support to pre-record presentations
* At home support with child care, or similar assistance
* Safe
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Risk_assessment_during_COVID-19>
in-person meetups that coincide with live activities
* Safe
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Risk_assessment_during_COVID-19> post
Wikimania meetups resulting from having attended Wikimania
* Admin/operation costs for Affiliates to distribute funds
* Costs to Affiliates to organize presentation/workshop/time at the
conference
We ask that the affiliates organizations, take the lead with distributing
scholarship assistance to your community members, as you know how best to
create real impact for your community. This means that you would have the
freedom to award scholarships to those in your community as you see
fit. All the COT needs is an email of what you want to do and how much,
we'll review them and confirm the amount.
WHO ARE YOU? HOW DO I GET IN TOUCH WITH YOU?
As the COT's affiliate contact, I'm here to help you through the next few
months. I hear some ask who am I? In short, I'm User:Gnangarra
<https://wikimania.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Gnangarra>. I've been
contributing for 15 years, I'm a member of Wikimedia Australia and spent 4
years as Vice President and 2 years as President. I'm one of the current
organisers of ESEAP. I know my experience within an affiliate organization
will help me to quickly help you and understand what possible barriers of
entry exist.
Please contact me anytime my email is gnangarra(a)wikimedia.org.au, I'm on
this all-affiliates(a)lists.wikimedia.org mailing list. I'm also happy to
zoom, skype, remo, googlemeet, or talk via any other platform.
My COT colleague who will be supporting the affiliate organization work is
User:WikiTatik <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:WikiTatik>
Watch this space as there will be more exciting opportunities to come for
affiliates to show and shine during Wikimania.
Regards,
Gnangarra

Dear Reda and Anass,
I hope this finds you well! I'm sure you've seen/heard already, but I
wanted to reach out with a personal invitation :)
We are hosting an open meeting about the results of "Reading Wikipedia in
the Classroom." During the meeting tomorrow Brahim will be sharing his
experience implementing the project in Morocco. We would be very happy if
you can join! Please also feel free to share this invitation with anyone
you think would be interested in joining or viewing the recordings. You can
find the details below. Please get in touch with me if you have any
questions!
all the best,
Nichole
You’re invited! Reading Wikipedia in the Classroom – open meeting
We know how crucial media and information literacy skills are in today’s
world and we see the opportunities in the use of Wikipedia as a pedagogical
tool. So how can we continue to support educators to integrate Wikipedia
into their classrooms to foster these skills?
Last year, the Education team at the Wikimedia Foundation launched the Reading
Wikipedia in the Classroom program
<https://wikimediafoundation.org/our-work/education/reading-wikipedia-in-the…>
in
3 pilot countries: Bolivia, Morocco, and the Philippines. We worked with
local coordinators from the Wikimedia affiliates in each country to provide an
online professional development opportunity to close to 1000 secondary
school teachers
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2020/12/10/nearly-1000-teachers-participate-in-r…>
with a localized curriculum
<https://diff.wikimedia.org/2021/04/02/a-three-module-teachers-guide-about-r…>
that
aligns Wikipedia with UNESCO’s Media and Information Literacy framework.
We would like to invite you to an open meeting where the Education team and
the pilot’s local coordinators will share the experiences of the program:
the curriculum design, the methodology, the impact, and the next steps for
you to get involved!
You can join us on one of these two dates via Zoom:
Thursday, May 6, 13:00 UTC (link to join:
https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/93678353815)
Friday, May 7, 17:00 UTC (link to join:
https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/99326961118)
We are eager to share our learnings with you and to continue working
towards a critical inclusion of Wikipedia in education. In the meantime,
you can explore the teacher’s guides and booklets developed for the program
