Hello all,
Hope you are doing well. Glad to meet you again and appreciate your
involvement in the Wikimedia movement. We already know that March month is
known as Women’s month. A lot of campaigns or events are going on to
celebrate the month. For the same purpose, CIS-A2K and Commons
Photographers User Group (CPUG) have planned an online activity for March.
For the same purpose, CIS-A2K and Commons Photography User Group have
designed an online activity for March.
The activity will focus on Wikimedia Commons and it will begin on 21 March
and end on 31 March 2023. During this campaign, the participants will work
on structure data, categories and descriptions of the existing images. We
will provide you with the list of the photographs that were uploaded under
those campaigns, conducted for Women’s Month.
You can find the event page link here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Women%27s_Month_Datathon_on_…
We are inviting you to participate in this event and make it successful.
The tasks will be easy, however, these tasks are essential to improve or
add. There will be at least one online session to demonstrate the tasks of
the event. We will come back to you with the date and time.
If you have any questions please write to us on the event talk page.
