Dear Wikimedians of Chicago User Group,
We are inviting you to participate in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos, a new global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2020: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos Participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photo images, then add a suitable file from among the many thousands of photos in the Wikimedia Commons, especially those uploaded from thematic contests (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore, etc.) over the years.
WPWP offers a focused task for guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. It can be used to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.
The organizing team is looking for a contact person at the Wikimedia User Group level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP, to coordinate the project locally. We’d be glad for you to reply to this email, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos/Participating_Communities
Thank you,
Deborah Schwartz Jacobs (User:Deborahjay / debjay.wpwp@gmail.com) Communities Liaison WPWP
