Dear Yoruba Wikimedians User Group members,
My name is Samir Elsharbaty. I'm a community brand and marketing
coordinator at the Wikimedia Foundation. I'm reaching out with an update
and an invitation to join us in the movement brand project.
Last year, we started the movement brand project
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_moveme…>;
a project to evolve the Wikimedia movement’s brand identity system. To do
this we have partnered with Snøhetta
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sn%C3%B8hetta_(company)>, an international
branding and architecture agency. Through workshops, exercises, and
requests for feedback, Snøhetta is working with Wikimedia communities to
create an updated naming convention and design, which will be used by the
Wikimedia Foundation and will be opt-in for affiliates.
As a Wikimedia affiliate organization, Yoruba Wikimedians UG is an
important stakeholder in this project. I would like to invite you to become
part of a process to shape our global shared brand identity. Participation
is not time consuming but crucial to direct our work ahead.
Over the next five months, the brand team will be helping Snøhetta gather
community feedback at key moments. Your involvement would revolve around
receiving updates and providing feedback on proposals for a naming
convention and brand design. If you are interested, please select one or
two people from Yoruba Wikimedians UG to act as a Liaison between our team
and your group during this process. We will send important updates and all
feedback opportunities to that person so that they can share with the group
and collect your feedback.
This process will arrive at a new branding system that you will be able to
adopt if you choose, so we hope that you will decide to participate.
In the meantime, here are main hubs for updates and discussion on this
project:
1.
The brand network on Facebook
<https://www.facebook.com/groups/wikipediabrandnetwork>.
2.
Snohetta’s project hub, brandingwikipedia.org.
3.
The project page on meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Communications/Wikimedia_brands/2030_moveme…>
.
Please reach out to us with any questions or thoughts you may have.
I’m looking forward to collaborating with you!
Best regards,
Samir

Hello all, and apologies for crossposting!
I hope you are doing well!
As you may have noticed when we announced the partnership in August [1]:
the Wikimedia Foundation is working with the UN Human Rights to help expand
the availability of knowledge about human rights online.
As one of our first collaborations, we are going to be running a campaign
from November 15 - January 30 to add and improve knowledge about human
rights on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. The initial focus of the
campaign will be on improving articles about topics related to the UN
Declaration of Human Rights and youth standing up for human rights. More
information about the campaign is also available here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights
We would like to invite you to get involved in the campaign in one of
several ways:
Help us build the list!
-
We need your help identifying more topics related to youth involved in
human rights that don’t have articles on Wikipedia or could use further
improvement. We would like to represent many different languages and
geographies in the campaign. To propose topics for the list, see
instructions at:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/List#Adding_a_topic_to_t…
Organize an online or offline event!
We need your help finding community leaders from throughout the Wikimedia
to:
-
Host an online campaign on your language Wikipedia! To learn more about
hosting a local topical campaign see the kit here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Campaign
-
Hold an in person editathon with local human rights organizations or
partners! To learn more, check out the kit here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Editathon
Promote the campaign starting Dec. 10 for International Human Rights Day!
Help us amplify your efforts around the campaign and publicize it to wide
audiences. We’ll be sharing a communications toolkit (including graphics)
soon with suggestions on reaching out to folks about the campaign.
-
Reach out to local media and supporters: Journalists and the public
can help add momentum to the campaign through storytelling and spreading
the word.
-
Promote the campaign on social media: We’ll be using
#WikiForHumanRights to promote the campaign on social media, when we
increase the communication to the public on 10 December
If you want to help in other ways, let us know on the discuss space
#human-rights tag
<https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/do-you-have-questions-about-organizing-…>
or by emailing Alex Stinson <astinson(a)wikimedia.org and Luisina Ferrante <
educacion(a)wikimedia.org.ar>
If you are interested, let us know by indicating your interest to organize
in the Organize sections linked above!
Note: We are still updating the communications assets for the campaign! To
watch for those materials, add
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Share to your meta
watchlist.
Have questions?
If you have questions, we are going to be hosting an office hour next
Tuesday
<https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/community-office-hour-wikiforhumanright…>,
or you can ask questions on the discuss space #human-rights tag
<https://discuss-space.wmflabs.org/t/do-you-have-questions-about-organizing-…>

Looking forward to your engagement with the campaign!
