Onboarding Wikipedian as part-time remote L&E intern
by Maria Cruz 01 Nov '14

01 Nov '14

== Welcome our new interns! == Dan Higgins and Brett Gibbs will be working with our Learning and Evaluation team remotely to assist with program evaluation reporting projects. You can welcome them via their listed emails, as this is an announcement only list. Dan Higgins Dan joins us remote from the UK after returning from Uganda where he has been engaged in evaluation work while completing his recent Masters in Impact Evaluation in International Development. His experience includes analyzing qualitative and quantitative impact data, for programs in an education NGO and, separately, in a women’s microfinance organization. Both entities based in Uganda, where he lived during his study. Looking forward to expand on his experience, he will be helping our team to clean, validate, analyze and report on our second round of voluntary programs reporting [1]. dhiggins(a)wikimedia.org Brett Gibbs Brett, also known as User:Pine, joins us from Washington state (USA) and has a range of interests that include economics, data visualization, and the intersection of technology and society. He writes for the Signpost (recent work includes the Wikipedia in Education series and the story of Wikimedia Bangladesh) and he was a founding member of the Individual Engagement Grants Committee. Brett will be working with our team on the curation and organization of our learning pattern library [2]. Importantly, he will work with our team to identify relevant learning patterns from grants and voluntary reporting; and he will work with program leaders to develop those for the library. bgibbs(a)wikimedia.org *María Cruz * \\ Community Coordinator, PE&D Team \\ Wikimedia Foundation, Inc. mcruz(a)wikimedia.org | : @marianarra_ <https://twitter.com/marianarra_> [1] Programs Reporting Round II: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Evaluation/News/Round_II_Announcement [2] Learning Pattern Library https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Learning_patterns

Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! TL;DR: New Storytelling Learning Series; We need your DATA and are standing by to support you! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == New Learning Series! Telling Your Program Stories [1] == Starting next week, the new learning series will focus on the use of reporting for storytelling. If you strive to showcase your efforts to promote Wikimedia programs and projects, you can gain new skills and find resources that will help you develop this skill. We will include case studies from community members, and eventually develop a new resource on the Evaluation portal for future reference and continuous dialogue around this topic. Sign up for the first session, next Wednesday [2]! == Round II of Voluntary Program Reporting: Deadline approaching for editing workshops and editathons! == If you coordinated editathons or editing workshops from September 1, 2013, to September 30, 2014, you can submit your data to the II Round of Data Collection. Deadline to fill out the survey is October 20. You can review the reporting items before you start the survey [5].

Greetings Program Leaders and Evaluators! Important updates from Learning and Evaluation: == New Office Hours to Assist you with Voluntary Reporting [1] == The team will host office hours with program leaders to give support on reporting and Wikimetrics. If you are struggling to get at the data you need for reporting, join us on Monday and we’ll help you out via IRC chat #wikimedia-ped. * Monday, October 6 from 15:00 -17:00 UTC (8 - 9 am PDT) * Tuesday October 7 from 0:00-2:00 UTC (Monday October 6, 5 - 7 pm PDT) We will also be hosting more times in the next month! Help us find the best times for everyone by filling out this meeting time poll those times that work best for you [2]! == New Editor Engagement Vital Signs (EEVS) dashboards [3] == Analytics has been working hard to expand metrics and Wikimetrics ability to measure project-level cohorts to populate the new EEVS dashboards for project level metrics. Metrics included in the dashboard include: - Namespace Edits - Newly Registered - Pages Created - Rolling Active Editor - Rolling New Active Editor - Rolling Surviving New Active Editor Learn more about the project with the Metrics meeting overview presented yesterday [4] or the metrics definitions [5]. You can also visit the dashboards to check them out directly! https://metrics.wmflabs.org/static/public/dash/ == Changes in Wikimetrics == Wikimetrics [6] was updated yesterday with changes to the metrics "Edits" and "Pages Created." These metrics now have a new option to include counts on deleted or archived pages. “Include Deleted” is the default option - it will be already checked off in the “Pick Metrics” section. To find the number of “bytes added” or “edits” from existing pages only, uncheck the box. Cautions: - The new EEVS dashboards for project level metrics include the counts of “edits” and “pages created” from deleted and archived pages. If you want to make a comparison between your cohort and your project level metrics, you will want to be sure you are using the same measurement parameters. - In some cases, the results of “edits” and “pages created” may be a lot higher when counts are included from deleted pages. - Recurring reports that started beforehand and are still running daily will now count deleted / archived pages. These will show a jump on October 3. Bonus: On both these metrics, you now have the ability to count across all namespaces. This is now the default setting. Just leave the namespaces field blank on these two metrics to count edits made to all namespaces in the selected project(s). == Changes to definition of Active Editor == Some may have already seen that the metrics standardization work for the new EEVS metrics led to metrics research and decision-making that ended up in a change to the definition of an “Active Editor.” Where before the definition included only edits to the main article namespace, the new definition of “Active Editor” is any user which makes five (5) or more edits to any project namespace in a 30 day period. This new definition is used within the new “Rolling Active Editor,” “Rolling New Active Editor,” and “Rolling “Surviving New Active Editor.” Please direct any questions to the Wikimetrics mailing list [7]. As always, stay up-to-date by connecting on our portal [8].
