Dear Wikimedians of Colorado User Group,

We are inviting the Wikimedians of Colorado User Group to participate in Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024, a global contest scheduled to run from July through August 2024:

Eligible participants will choose among Wikipedia pages without photos, then add a suitable photo 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.

In the previous edition, more than 60 Wikimedia communities in 52 countries joined the campaign. Media files were added to more than 265,000 Wikipedia articles in more than 190 languages.

Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos (WPWP) offers an ideal task for recruiting and guiding new editors through the steps of adding content to existing pages. Besides individual participation, the WPWP campaign can be used by user groups and chapters to organize editing workshops and edit-a-thons.

We also have some new changes for this year's edition to improve the contest. For participants to be eligible for the contest they need to have registered an account for at least a year before the official start date of the contest. That is, for the 2024 edition, they must have registered an account on or before July 1, 2023. The account can be from any Wikimedia project wikis.

The organizing team is looking for a contact person to coordinate WPWP participation at the Wikimedia user group or chapter level (geographically or thematically) or for a language WP. We would be glad for you to reply to this email, or sign up directly at WPWP Participating Communities.

With kind regards,

Jackson Chukwudi Dandy

Cordinator,
