Hello folks, Wikimedia Norge are now launching the *Uralic language contest 2019* <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Uralic_language_contest_…> on Meta. 2019 is UNESCO's International Year of Indigenous Languages (IYIL), and we have been recognized as a *Civil Society Partner* for this year. This contest is one of several events we are planning to organize in 2019 in conjunction with IYIL. The contest is aimed at increasing content about indigenous Uralic languages and the people who speak them, and everyone is welcome to join it. I would love your help in spreading the message about this contest to your local communities, and with translating <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:Translate?group=agg-Uralic_language…> the contest pages into your languages. -- *Jon Harald Søby* Prosjektleder / Prosjektleiar / Prošeaktajođiheaddji / Project Manager Wikimedia Norge / Wikimedia Noreg / Wikimedia Norga +47 977 67 510 jhsoby(a)wikimedia.no

Progress and information RE: Wikimedia Northern Europe Forum
by Matthias Smed Larsen 28 Nov '18

28 Nov '18

Hello everyone! Apologies for the low radio chatter on the WMNE Meta page. I've been quite busy with my studies. Shortly after the meeting I started setting up the WMNE portal on Meta. It's split into four parts. - The "front page", located at "Wikimedia Northern Europe", is a general information page for anyone interested. - The forum, located at "Wikimedia Northern Europe Forum", is the place for communication about various things, currently it's hosting a discussion on the abbreviation for Wikimedia Northern Europe which could use some more input. - The repository, located at "Wikimedia Northern Europe/Repository" is meant as a centralized place to find the various groups & initiatives going on in the Northern Europe region, I've listed some of the working groups based on what I could find in the meeting documentation, but I know it isn't complete, so please add your initiative if you don't see it, and please add a contact if applicable to the existing ones. - The workspace, located at "Wikimedia Northern Europe/Workspace" is a place to work on things that don't fit on specific Wikimedia Projects, or as a place to store documentation etc. Again, apologies for the delay, I'd suggest watch-listing the various pages (the forum in particular) to receive reminders when new posts are made. All the best, Matthias / WMDK

Blog post in English about WikiNEM to share
by Sara Mörtsell 06 Nov '18

06 Nov '18

Hello all! At WMSE we have put together a blog post in English to announce the start of the collaboration in our region and outcomes from WikiNEM and what the next steps are https://wikimediasverige.wordpress.com/2018/11/06/the-regional-collaboratio…. A link to Karens report is also included and these two resources make good communications to share (translate, copy, discuss) with local communities, we think. I've also added a section for reports on the Documentation page for the Stockholm meeting, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018/Docu… where you can list blog posts or messages you have shared about the meeting. Best, Sara -- *Med vänliga hälsningar, * *Sara Mörtsell* Sara Mörtsell | Education Manager, Wikimedia Sverige <http://se.wikimedia.org/wiki/Huvudsida> sara.mortsell(a)wikimedia.se | +4673-383 26 70 *Stöd fri kunskap genom att bli medlem <http://blimedlem.wikimedia.se/>! *

Article about our WikiNEM weekend
by Karen Mardahl 19 Oct '18

19 Oct '18

Hi everyone, Two weeks ago this evening, we were gathered in a circle in Stockholm to kick off the first ever WikiNEM meeting. Now, I present you with my thoughts - as promised - in an article with my reflections on our weekend together. Thanks to Sara Mörtsell for her great help in guiding me and providing a home for this. Thanks to Matthias Smed Larsen for moral support and the alt text tip. :) Sara will share it with WMF next week, so there should be a blog post from them at some point. This is the link, but it is not linked anywhere else just yet. https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Northern_Europe_Meeting_2018/Story You can take this and use it for inspiration for writing an article in your language. On behalf of Sara, I'd like to remind everyone to share their photos - if they want to - by adding them on Commons in "Category:Wikimedia Northern Europe Meeting 2018". We can make subcategories later. If you all post your photos now, Sara won't have to send out a mail requesting the photos. :) Have a great weekend! Regards, Karen "twdk"

after the meeting thoughts
by Ivo Kruusamägi 13 Oct '18

13 Oct '18

There was this weird idea, that we should use this Nordic mailing list bit more often. So I'll leave some comments on the following topics: lists about vital articles, first (?) joint GLAM project, science photography competition, and next Nordic meeting. *Vital articles about Nordic countries* * Eesti1000: https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipeedia:Eesti_1000 * it still needs some fixes (like some articles might be replaced), but it is mostly ready * here you might see the first comparison of wikis on how well do they cover Estonian topics: https://et.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vikipeedia:Eesti_1000/Tabel (it was assembled on a hurry on Sunday to have something to show so this is just a draft version, but you can get some general idea on how well your wiki is covering the Estonian topics) * you are all welcomed to assemble similar lists about your countries. *GLAM project* * During the first half of 2019, there should be formed a set of virtual exhibitions as part of a joint GLAM project. That is: we are collecting information about artworks that our museums have about other Nordic countries. * At a moment the people involved are Astrid (Norway), Axel (Sweden), Edgars (Latvia), Ivo & Merli (Estonia), Minna (Finland), Salvor (Iceland), and Steen (Denmark). If someone wants to learn more about it or join the project, then please contact the relevant people. *Science photo competition* * http://www.wikisciencecompetition.org/ * Next competition is in November 2019 (i.e. uploading images in November, selecting the local winners in December and selecting the international winners in January-February) * It is also possible to participate as a goup of countries. *Next Nordic wikimeetup* * Likely to take place in Tartu, Estonia Regards Ivo Kruusamägi P.S: There were some questions about this translation tool named Minority Translate. It is available here: http://translate.keeleleek.ee

There's time until tomorrow to comment on the translation: https://twitter.com/rightsstmts/status/1049564313764188160 http://rightsstatements.org/en/documentation/translations.html "Rights statements" is the set of standard descriptions of the copyright situation of works which don't have a public license. They're used in digital collections to facilitate reuse and aggregation, among the others, by Europeana and DPLA. Federico
