This is a big opportunity for us to further promote the campaign on social media. Please follow the WikiAfrica handle on Twitter @WikiAfrica and the #WPWPCampaign @WPWPCampaign. On a side note, I have drafted a learning pattern on how to organize a multilingual campaign <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Learning_patterns/How_to_organize_a_multili…> .[1] Your feedback and endorsement would be appreciated.

Update from Bangla Wikipedia
by Mrb Rafi 08 Jul '21

08 Jul '21

Hello Isaac, I've some exciting news to share with you. 1. Our local chapter, Wikimedia Bangladesh (WMBD) has joined us as the organizer. They'll take care of the prizes and help to organize the campaign in Bangladesh. Tanvir bhaiya <wikitanvir(a)gmail.com>(User:Wikitanvir) will collaborate with us from WMBD. We're planning to arrange weekly discussion sessions on zoom where the participants will be able to interact with us directly. We've found this technique useful in our previous editathons. 2. I invited Notre Dame English Club (NDEC) to encourage their members to participate in this campaign and they agreed. This Notre Dame College <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Notre_Dame_College,_Dhaka>(NDC)-based extra-curricular organization is the oldest and the largest English club in Bangladesh as I know. Nafis Sadiq <saadiqnafis(a)gmail.com> is collaborating from their side. We're trying to arrange training sessions for them as early as possible. I would like to thank the hon'ble moderator of NDEC, Suranjita Barua madam <suranjitabarua16(a)gmail.com> (Senior Lecturer, English Dept., Notre Dame College) for her kind cooperation. Our monitoring tool is saying <https://hashtags.wmflabs.org/graph/?query=WPWPBN> that NDEC member Tazim <tazim4769(a)gmail.com> ( User:Your Poltergeist O3) is in the 4th position right now. Best wishes to him! It's amazing to see them signing up for Wikipedia with little or no training and jumping to the top of the list within hours. They've also shown interest to help enriching NDC, Dhaka related articles in Bangla, English and Simple English Wikipedia in the upcoming days. If the inclusion of NDEC in this campaign shows a notable impact on our campaign, we'll try to include similar educational institutions or co-curricular organizations in our next campaigns. 3. Our review team is experiencing some problems using the hashtag monitoring tool. They've reported the tool to be slow. It takes time to be updated. Besides the reverted "wrong edits" are also being shown in the tool. So our reviewers can't get the exact metrics after reviewing. I'll grateful if you help us with these issues. Best, Mrb Rafi.

Ukrainian campaign: a request
by attolippip 03 Jul '21

Dear organisers, First of all, thank you for your support with the project! I would like to request that the banner from territory of Ukraine and from the Ukrainian Wikiprojects would point to either the local page http://wpwp.wlm.photo or to the translation into Ukrainian at Meta https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2021/uk If it is possible to choose, we prefer the local page on Wikipedia, so people are not confused by going to Meta Also the English language is off putting to users... Are you able to help with this?

#WPWPCampaign 2021: Help to monitor participants from your community
by Isaac Olatunde 03 Jul '21

03 Jul '21

Dear local organizers, We are really excited about your planning for the Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos_2021> this year. The campaign has started on the 1st of July 2021 and we are glad that it's going on smoothly. We want to request that you help the international team in monitoring participation from your community and fix any errors inserted into articles by participants, especially new editors. This is important to minimize the occasional disruption from new editors. You have been provided with your community-specific hashtag. Thus, you could see the list of participants from your community and the articles they added photos. Training for new editors is important and we encourage you to organize at least one or more training to support their participation and please let us know if there ways we could provide support for you. With best regards, Isaac Olatunde Project Manager and Coordinator #WPWPCampaign 2021 On behalf of the #WPWPCampaign International Organizing Team

Dear organisers of the #WPWPCampaign 2021, It's about one week to the start of the #WPWPCampaign 2021 and we are documenting local campaign pages. If you designed a local page for the campaign, please share the page with us so that we can document it. If you do not have any local page for the campaign, that is not a problem. Regards, Isaac
