Dear organizers of WPWP Campaign,
It's three weeks to the WPWP Campaign
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos> and the
International Organizing Team is happy to provide the necessary supports
for you to run a successful campaign.
Please take a look at the organizer's guide
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_Pages_Wanting_Photos/Participate/Organizers_Guide>
as this guide would be useful for you in planning your local campaign. If
you wish to provide a local prize, we encourage you to do so.
You may need a rapid grant
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid> to fund the local
prizes and edit-a-thon. We strongly advise that you apply before 15th June
2020, as after that date WMF may not receive and process grant applications.
*Campaign metrics*
We want to ensure that tracking of metrics is easy and flexible for all the
participating communities. We will be using a double hashtag to track
metrics for the WPWP Campaign in July; the general hashtag (#WPWP) and your
community-specific hashtag (eg. #WPWPNG for Nigeria, #WPWPBR for Brazil).
Please, remind the participants from your community to add the hashtag
#WPWP and your community-specific hashtag to edits summaries of articles
improved with photos.
The hashtag tool would track the following metrics:
1. Total number of articles improved with photos
2. The list of articles improved with photos
3. The total number of participants from your community
4. Ranking of users in descending order of contributions
5. The total number of language Wikipedia improved
Please email your community-specific hashtag to me directly or simply reply
to this email with it for configuration.
Kindly note that due to the COVID-19 pandemic, #WPWP Campaign
activities/events are strictly online.
Please let us know if you require further information.
With best regards,
Isaac Olatunde
Project Manager and Co-Coordinator
WPWP Campaign
On behalf of the WPWP Organizing Team
