Comment

[edit]

Can you refer me to any of the people at worldvision.org/about-us/media-contacts? I would like to video chat with one of them to discuss the basics of Wikipedia editing and set the organization up for success in a more formal Wikipedia collaboration.

Wikipedia is the most requested, published, accessed, and consulted source of information on crisis of all kinds. That should make Wikipedia an attractive partner to WV. I am a coordinator for Wikipedia:WikiProject Disaster management and d:Wikidata:WikiProject Humanitarian Wikidata, which is within the domain of expertise for World Vision. World Vision spent about US$ 2 billion last year, but Wikipedia is arguably 1000x more influential in WV's communication domain as measured by what I know about Wikipedia's traffic and what I can guess about WV's communication.

It is not uncommon that when I see an org like WV approach Wikipedia they start with a PR office which got a US$10k retainer from them and which is billing $250/hour for wiki editing. I appreciate you coming here, thanks, but I do not think WV is backing you with that level of support, and for that reason I think a discussion would be worthwhile to establish mutual understanding of what Wikipedia volunteer support WV is consuming and what Wikipedia can offer for partnerships. You personally are doing great as an editor but the wiki volunteer editor community expects organization like World Vision to come with more preparation and not be asking for so much volunteer labor support from the wiki editors.

If someone at WV would meet with me then I could talk to them by video chat, recorded and published if they want the transparency, or otherwise just casual. What I want from WV is development of wiki articles not about the WV brand, but to move their expertise and knowledge about humanitarian issues into general Wikipedia articles covering those topics.

Please relay my message to your team. Let's explore a more in-depth collaboration. Thanks. Bluerasberry (talk) 17:25, 28 February 2023 (UTC) (refactored from Talk:World Vision International#Edit request)[reply]
