BESIDES....
I'll host a workshop this Friday at 17h UTC+2 during which I will
present the first sketches propositions of the tool.
Please join to talk about it, criticize, propose changes, push for some
features over others, and so on.
👉 *Register to the sketches workshop here :

IF YOU CAN NOT join the event (or do not want to), please have a look
directly at the sketches proposed and give a feedback about each
proposition. Please {{bebold}} !
👉 *Look and comment the first sketches here :

*Context*/
Visualizing Sustainability and Climate Change/is a research project
aimed at identifying and visualizing knowledge gaps related to
sustainability and climate changeon Wikipedia. The project helps
visualize these knowledge gaps, supports communities in improving
content on this important topic, facilitates collaboration among
multilingual communities and partners, and strengthens the capacity of
Wikipedia contributors to document and share information on climate
change (as well as sustainability and SDGs).
In practice, in collaboration with Wikimedia projects focused on
sustainability and climate change,*the initiative will produce a visual
tool*that allows users to evaluate and monitor the quality and quantity
of articles related to sustainability and climate change on Wikipedia
across different languages.
In the long run, the tool is expected to serve beyond the specific «
Climate change » topic ;)
The projet is developped as part of a research project, promoted by
SUPSI, funded by the SNSF, with the patronage ofWikimedia Italia
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Italia>.
On the Wiki Community side of things, the organizations involved
areWikimedistas de Uruguay
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikimedistas_de_Uruguay>,Wiki in Africa
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_In_Africa>, andWiki Education
Foundation.

Hello everyone
You are warmly invited to answer a survey to help a team developing a
new visualisation tool.
Your answers will be incredibly useful for the team to move forward.
The survey is about sharing how your evaluate the quality of articles,
and what would be useful to you in terms of visualisation to analyse
quality of a set of articles.
Participating to the survey does not require you to do any investigating
work on the future tool. But if you want to know more about the tool and
the team please read below the context and follow the links
👉 *Access the survey** now:

Hello!
In our WREN last meeting we were discussing
*how to convince GLAM organizations that they need a WIR in the age of AI. *
So last week when Liam Wyatt was visiting Wikimedia UK's Wikipedia trainers
network I asked how he would reply. After all, he is the first WIR of the
world and is currently working with AI companies that are customers of
Wikimedia Enterprise.
I made a LinkedIn post in Finnish
<https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johannajanhonen_joudutko-vastaamaan-ty%C3%B6…>
using his main idea and tagged him too. He replied
<https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7377209715816140800?co…>
like this:
"Thanks for tagging me Johanna Janhonen 🗞️
<https://www.linkedin.com/in/johannajanhonen/> - I'm glad something that I
said sparked something for you!
So yes: my comment came from a presentation about some work I did with a
public museum, where I helped to justify the curators' time to work with
Wikipedia by arguing that not only is it an intellectual/moral
responsibility to answer questions about the collection wherever those
questions are being asked, but ALSO it is a way to *save time and effort*
to have common questions answered correctly in the place where the general
public is most likely to find them - on WP. This can be classified as a
economic/professional efficiency benefit to the organisation. Which, as we
know, is always easier to motivate management with economic arguments
rather than moral ones!
The organisation (or individual) FIRST needs to make sure that the question
is answered in an "official" place (e.g. somewhere in the official website,
or academic journal article, thesis, newspaper report...) and THEN then can
either write this fact directly into Wikipedia (with the reference) or
"suggest" the fact on the discussion page of the article (especially if
there is any implication of Conflict of Interest about the fact)."
I promised to send the reply to you too. So I hope it helps - or maybe we
can continue the discussion either here or on LinkedIn.
Cheers,
Johanna
