on
Wikipedia<http://www.centrecivicporqueres.cat/index.php?option=com_jevents&task=icalrepeat.detail&evid=597%20>at

* Wikiproject:Viquifabricació. The test corresponding to the first semester
of the course has successfully come to an end. The following people have
taken part in Catalan: 3 teachers, 23 students that have worked on 41
articles. In Spanish: 3 teachers, 21 students and have edited 23 articles.
This test has been useful to find the list of more common mistakes, in order
to prepare the content of the first courses and to develop the wikiprojects
and bots of support for the appropriate management of the project. Many
articles still need significative improvements.
* Wikiproject Viquibalear <http://Viquibalear.cat%20>. The registration
period and that concerning the creation of articles have been completed. The
best ones are being moved to Wikipedia. 9 teachers and 44 students have
completed the test. Up to now, 138 articles have been moved to Wikipedia.
[[User:Paucabot]]
* Wikiproject Viquiescoles <http://viquiescoles.cat>. It is based on the
Viquibalear Project but its aim is to work with the richness of the many
educational systems and the diversity of languages in which many students
attend their lessons across the Catalan-speaking territories. The aim of
this year is to test and create the infrastructure which will enable its
expansion. Mediawiki has been installed and some teachers have already
joined the initiative. In total, 16 teachers from all the Catalan-speaking
territories are currently involved. [[User:Barcelona]]

*Release of contents*
* It has already been processed by OTRS a permission to publish the book *Les
Plantes Cultivades*. Cereals de Pujol Palol, Miquel and we have started
dumping it on Wikisource: *Les Plantes
Cultivades*<http://ca.wikisource.org/wiki/Llibre:Les_plantes_cultivades.…
. This book contains many high-quality images on cereals that can be used to
illustrate Wikipedia articles. We are currently uploading them to Commons
with the collaboration of Joancreus. (Example).
*Media*
There has been much activity in the media during the last three months,
mainly around four themes:
* 300,000 articles from Wikipedia in Catalan. On 21 December the press
reported that the Catalan Wikipedia had reached 300,000 articles. They
were echoed
by several means: racó

* In Alghero, it has had a strong media impact the organization of a digital
photography competition to illustrate the Wikipedia articles: at
Alguer.cat<http://cat.alguer.it/noticies/n?id=38975>in Catalan and in
Italian <http://notizie.alguer.it/n?id=38975> and on Alghero’s
television<http://www.algheronotizie.it/articoli.php?id_articolo=14098>.
*Relation with entities.*
* The IEC (Institute of Catalan Studies) has spread among the subsidiaries a
request of collaboration with Wikipedia. Up to now, the Literary Section and
the Society for Hebrew
Studies<http://scehb.iec.cat/filial/ViewPage.action?siteNodeId=105&languageId=1&contentId=-1>
have responded positively. Barcelona
* We have kept in touch with entities of the Federation<http://www.fatec.cat/>
of Senior Citizens of Catalonia <http://www.fatec.cat/>. We are also finding
ways to make some members participate on Wikipedia. Username: Pallares.
* The relations with the Picasso Museum have concluded with the organization
of the 1st Conference between Catalan Museums
and<http://www.viquimedia.cat/viqui/GLAM>
Wikipedia <http://www.viquimedia.cat/viqui/GLAM>. Kippelboy. We thank User:
Witty lama for his collaboration.
* On January 24 we had a meeting with Escola Massana. We proposed that
students draw portraits of people whose images are not copyleft and make
them run under free license to illustrate Wikipedia articles. The first
impression was good but then it was concluded that this may not take place
in the present academic course. Pallares.
* On February 14 we met the Torrens-Ibern
<http://www.torrens-ibern.cat/>Foundation<http://www.torrens-ibern.cat/>Board
of Trustees.
We showed them 30 free-licensed college textbooks in English. The
Foundation will
contact university lecturers to assess the quality and, if adequate,
finance will
be promoted in collaboration with the university to translate them and
publish them on Wikisource. Goma.
*Miscellaneous*
* kippelboy <http://www.viquimedia.cat/viqui/Usuari:Kippelboy>
attended Glamwiki
2010 <http://uk.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=GLAM-WIKI&oldid=8633> at the
British Museum.
* On 16 December the
puntCat<http://www.viquimedia.cat/v/index.php?title=Fundaci%C3%B3_puntCat&action=edit&redlink=1>Foundation
provided us with a grant of 20.000€ to develop the strategic plan
of Wikipedia.
* There are two entities that have agreed to provide public information on
Wikipedia and make us a point of contact: Centre d'estudis comarcals del
Baix Llobregat <http://www.cecbll.cat/> in Sant Feliu de
Llobregat<http://www.viquimedia.cat/v/index.php?title=Sant_Feliu_de_Llobregat&action=edit&redlink=1>and
the Societat
Coral el Micalet <http://www.scelmicalet.cat/> of Valencia. These entities will
have brochures and books on Wikipedia and a person who knows how to
edit it.They will
provide information to the public and will contact Wikipedia or the
association just in case any interested person appears. Hopefully,
these are the
first steps of a network that will cover the entire territory.
* Improvements have been made to the Amical-bot. We have implemented a
module which offers categories and added more templates and pages of ERS.
* We have developed a bot that works with the statistics of some French
towns and villages. From here you can complement the content of the
articles asking
for it with a template or they can otherwise be created automatically. This
process is currently under discussion. See examples of articles (in
Catalan): Improved article
<http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Celle-sur-Loire>or created
article <http://ca.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ch%C3%A2teauneuf-Val-de-Bargis>.
* In December, the third survey of Wikipedia users took place. The results
were published in January. We thank Marc Miquel for his hard work.
* The association supports the Wiki
<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments_2011_CAT>
Loves
Monuments<http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Wiki_Loves_Monuments…
. We bought the domain
http://wikilovesmonuments.cat and are making efforts
to get sponsors and prizes to the contest. (Vriullop and others, see project
pages).
* The association is deeply involved in organizing events for the 10th
anniversary
of the Catalan Wikipedia. More information will be available next month.
*Free Culture Forum and access to knowledge
(
http://www.fcforum.net<http://fcforum.net/es>
). Participation with the launch of a handbook on sustainability in the digital
era. Gomà & User:Lilaroja.
