Ack! Sorry; Eric -- it's been a bananas few weeks and I just realized I hadn't responded to your message. I apologize.

In response to your questions:
How are your edit-a-thon plans shaping up?

Also, would love to hear more about the CBT article grant. I know our meeting times generally overlap, but let's talk about a way around that so you can come to an upcoming meeting with requests for how we can help.

This is fantastic! Kudos, all, for organizing and implementing so well!

 

I have several followup questions:

 

  • Can people still use the links already set up to add things after the official end of the campaign? (I might know some bald guy who has a lot of pictures of NC to share, but didn’t have time yet…. 😊)
  • Would one of you be willing to teach a couple HGAPS members how to copy this model and run similar campaigns?

 

Kinda related questions:

 

  • We are going to host an edit-a-thon in July; you will be invited! It’s an opportunity to coach us on how to invite “on Wiki” better!
  • We are starting to work on a General Support Fund application (aiming for Aug 21 submission for Sept cycle) with coaching from Jethro/Chris at WMF. One of the strategic partners that we would like to engage is Wikimedia-NC!
    • One of the campaigns folded into the grant is working with a professional society and an appointed task force to raise the CBT article on Wikipedia to GA (or FA?) status again. We need some sympathetic experienced editors to help us reach that goal. Budget would include travel support for people interested in attending a hybrid working meeting at the ABCT conference, and also compensation for time working on the project.
    • A related campaign would be to improve the quality of other existing psychology pages
    • Third campaign likely to be BLPs of women and under-represented groups in Psychology – we have a lot of source material, but are lean on experienced editors with familiarity with the relevant etiquette. A small herd that is done with the Wiki Edu and Wiki Adventure trainings, but prone to make mistakes with the BLP without coaching. We have a dashboard (like WikiEdu) that we could use to link experienced editors and newer volunteers into teams. ß this is the focus of the July edit-a-thon

Lumped all this together rather than putting in two emails.

 

All my best, and kudos again

 

Eric

Our first ever photo campaign, Wiki Pix, wrapped up yesterday and generated 564 photos in total!

 

Many thanks to everyone who made this project such a success, especially Danielle, Gaurav, Morgan, and Richard. Well done, everyone!

 

I look forward to meeting on July 14 at 7pm to recap and discuss next steps.

Hi NC Wiki* friends!

 

Tomorrow is the last day for submitting a photo to the Wiki Pix campaign. We're up to 512 photos as I write this, which is, IMO, super impressive! If you've been meaning to upload a photo or two, now's the time to do it!

 

We'll have our next meeting on Thursday, July 14, at 7pm. Zoom link to come!

Hello NC Wiki* friends!

 

We're just a week away from the end of the Wiki Pix campaign and it seems to be going really well! There are 345 photos uploaded so far, which you can see here. I'm loving the photos from the Chinese lantern festival in Cary and this albino alligator from the Fort Fisher Aquarium.

 

If you've been meaning to upload a photo but haven't yet, you've got until next Wednesday, June 22.

 

Let's plan to discuss the campaign at our next meeting... which we still need to schedule. I know folks may have summer travel plans. If you'd like to attend our next meeting, send me a quick note and let me know which of the following Thursday evenings would be possible for you:

  • June 30
  • July 7
  • July 14
  • July 21

I also wanted to make sure folks had seen the message copied below from Ziski about joining a conversation hour with the Global Advocacy and Public Policy team on July 1. Please feel free to attend if you're interested!

---------------------------------------------

Hey former Triangle Wikipedians,

I'm Ziski from the Global Advocacy & Public Policy team. I wanted to personally invite you to our first-ever monthly conversation hours. The call is on July 1 at 16h EST. All information you need to participate is on this Meta page [1].

The agenda is split between a dedicated theme for the month and whatever items you wish to cover. This month we will share some of our work on disinformation. There is no set agenda for the second half of the call - feel free to add your item to the list of topics in the etherpad [2]. Come and talk to us! Ask us anything, or tell us anything, related to public policy and advocacy initiatives for free knowledge online. For example: 
* You want to learn more about our team and our current initiatives
* You would like to share a policy development or advocacy campaign idea and would like to get feedback or support
* You have questions about a specific WMF policy priority or development

Hope to see you there... or at the next one!
Ziski, on behalf of the Global Advocacy team
