Chère Vietnam Wikimedians User Group,
Nous vous invitons à participer à Les pages Wikipédia veulent des photos
(WPWP) <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos/fr>,
un nouveau concours mondial qui se déroulera de juillet à août 2020.
Les participants choisiront parmi les pages Wikipedia sans images photo,
puis ajouteront un fichier approprié parmi les milliers de photos dans
Wikimedia Commons, en particulier celles téléchargées à partir de concours
thématiques (Wiki Loves Africa, Wiki Loves Earth, Wiki Loves Folklore,
etc.) sur les années.
WPWP offre une tâche ciblée pour guider les nouveaux éditeurs à travers les
étapes d'ajout de contenu aux pages existantes. Il peut être utilisé pour
organiser des ateliers d'édition et des édit-a-thons.
L'équipe organisatrice est à la recherche d'une personne de contact au
niveau du groupe d'utilisateurs de Wikimedia (géographiquement ou par thème)
ou d'un WP linguistique, pour coordonner le projet localement. Nous serions
ravis que vous répondiez à cet e-mail ou que vous vous inscriviez
directement à l'adresse WPWP Participating Communities

Merci,
Deborah Schwartz Jacobs (utilisateur:Deborahjay / debjay.wpwp(a)gmail.com)

=============================
Dear Vietnam Wikimedians 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/Participatin…>
Thank you,
Deborah Schwartz Jacobs (User:Deborahjay / debjay.wpwp(a)gmail.com)
Communities Liaison

Hi again,
We wanted to follow up on our previous email with an update on the 2030
Movement Brand Project
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_moveme…>
based on the new realities we all face due to the global pandemic, share an
invitation to an event this month and renew our request for you regarding
the project liaison.
We know there continues to be so much uncertainty, which is why we are
slowing down the process of the project. Big changes are happening to all
of us these days. With that, we want to make sure that we respect your time
and priorities. This means we are:
-
Adjusting the timeline approach to have more flexibility for
participants and smaller time commitments.
-
Revising the project schedule month-by-month in order to reflect
participants’ needs and the global situation.
-
Increased messaging (more emails with updates!) announcing what is
happening and when.
Affiliate Liaisons?
We are requesting all Wikimedia affiliates to designate a liaison for the
Movement Brand project. This liaison will be the contact point between
their affiliation and the project team. We will send the project updates
and requests for feedback to this person who will, in turn collect the
group’s feedback and send it back to us. If you are interested in
participating in the project, please let us know who the user group liaison
will be by April 18.
Get on the list!
Once you and your affiliate agree on the liaison, please add their name to
the Affiliate liaisons section of the Participants list on the Brand
Network Meta page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Brand_Network>. This
page, along with the Brand Network group on Facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipediabrandnetwork/>, is a discussion
venue for the Brand Network where updates, open questions, case studies,
and more will be shared. Watchlist the page to follow discussion.
Feeling a bit overwhelmed?
Please see attached an overall summary of the Brand Project with links to
where you can learn more. It gives an overview of the project, shows where
we are at in the process, and outlines roles and responsibilities for the
affiliate liaisons.
This month: LIVE Unified Concept Presentation
To honor, celebrate, and conclude the work around the concepts
<https://brandingwikipedia.org/concepts/> referred to in our previous email
above, Snohetta and the Brand Project team will present the Unified Concept
LIVE on 16 April, 15:00 - 16:00 GMT. Snøhetta will explain how they used
the ideas, feedback and conceptual models from the workshops and online
exercises to arrive at a final, unified concept. This unified concept will
be the foundation for the upcoming work around the naming conventions,
visual decisions, and the overall design system. The session will also be
recorded and made available for viewing after. You can join us on Zoom
<https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/769565325> or watch live on Youtube
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS72O6Si94Q>. Note: this is not a
presentation of a proposal for a naming convention or design.
May & beyond
We had planned to explore the movement naming conventions in April. We are
pushing this out to a later date.
Now discussion around naming will happen in May at the earliest, with great
care given to how the global pandemic continues to impact our world and our
communities. We will send an update on this at the end of April.
Although the project timeline will continue to be adjusted based on the
global situation, please know all feedback opportunities will be scheduled
for two-week-long periods, and you will also get a two-week advance notice
before any opportunities happen. This will allow for a full month of
planning and engagement at each phase, which will hopefully make
participation possible for whoever would like to join.
We will get back to you with an update by the end of April with the project
schedule for May. In the meanwhile, let us know if you have any questions.
Thank you for your dedication to our movement and to setting knowledge free.
Best,
Samir and the Brand Project team.
