I have met a few of you over Skype and in person before at
Wikimedia events, I'm currently working at UNESCO.<br class="">
<br class="">
May 5th is African World Heritage Day and I was thinking about
running a small online campaign for it.<br class="">

I have an idea and would like to know what you thought and how
it could be improved upon.<br class="">

I think it is a great idea...<br class="">
<br class="">

I would like to encourage editors in many languages to write
Wikipedia and Wikivoyage articles about the World Heritage
sites in Africa through social media and also on Wikipedia and
Wikivoyage.<br class="">
<br class="">
I want to make this as multilingual as possible so I've used
dynamic Wikidata Lists to create this table which shows which
articles are available in which language. I think its a really
nice way to create a project 'hit list' using Wikidata.<br class="">
<br class="">
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://tools.wmflabs.org/listeria/dynamic.html?#list=148" class="">https://tools.wmflabs.org/listeria/dynamic.html?#list=148<br class="">
</a><br class="">
There are a few Wikidata items down the bottom of the list
that are blank or with very few articles, I need to fix this,
they're duplicate items so don't point to any articles or only
one or two. <br class="">
</div>

<br class="">
Great table<br class="">
The one thing I am missing here to make it appealing is... <br class="">
1) the name of the country where the site is located<br class="">
2) whether there is at least an image of the site, or not.
Ideally... link to Commons category page IF it can be automated.<br class="">
<br class="">
My personal suggestions are <br class="">
1) that table should be transfered on a wiki page<br class="">
2) that it be divided in two tables actually... one about
wikipedia and the other about wikivoyage<br class="">
3) name of country added<br class="">
4) organise it per country perhaps ?<br class="">
5) for each article, we could add an indicator to show the general
state of it (without making it painful. Something fairly simple)<br class="">
<br class="">
Whilst meta would be a cool place to coordinate that... the real
effect is ON the project itself (Wikipedia...) for a simple good
reason... it is exciting to see the blue links and the red links.<br class="">
On meta... everything is blue... whether it exists or does not
exist. <br class="">
<br class="">

Some questions I'm currently thinking about:
<ul class="">
<li class="">What languages should be included in the list? The
languages I currently have are the 6 UN languages + a few
other popular languages but this is easy to change. <br class="">

well... I have a question. I see 137 items (and you say a few are
duplicates). Do those are the entirety of WH sites ? (= is there
at least one article in one language for each site; or are some
sites missing ? If some are missing... how many sites are missing
? )<br class="">
If ALL sites are listed here... make it a call for translation
(and improvement if people feel like it)<br class="">
If SOME sites are missing... make it a call to make sure that ALL
sites have at least one article in a language<br class="">
<br class="">
Make it a 2-4 weeks effort. <br class="">
<br class="">

<ul class="">
<li class="">Should I include both Wikivoyage and Wikipedia or just

both. Two tables<br class="">

<ul class="">
<li class="">Is the tool easy enough for experienced editors to use
to find where articles don't exist yet? Its a shame they
can't click on a button where the gap is to just write or
translate the article.<br class="">
</li>
</ul>
</div>

Not simple enough. Should be a wiki table with links to explain
rules and translation tool etc.<br class="">

I love it. Not sure how much time I will have to dedicate to it
though. On the 5th, unless it is cancelled, I will be travelling
(somewhere in Marocco). But I can help a bit I am sure. <br class="">

On social media, we have plenty of accounts to relay this
(usergroups, wikilovesafrica, wikiafrica etc.). Project pages
could be created on local wikipedias.... we can quite easily do it
in French and English. But need to find local relays for other
languages (if no local relay... use meta at least to have a global
page and tables). Can get Wikimedia Foundation to do a blog (ask
Ed). Then village pumps. Some mouvements can help relay as well,
such as WikiFranca. <br class="">

<ul class="">
<li class="">Does this need a homepage or can it simply be a tweet
that can be translated? This would allow it to be shared

Depends how much time you can dedicate to this. But the idea seems
cool enough to do more than a tweet. <br class="">
