Performing Arts Aotearoa - Wiki Project – funding success
[edit]Great news. The Wikimedia Foundation gave me the grant for the Performing Arts Aotearoa Wiki-Project. It starts on 17 May 2021 and runs for four months. Thanks for being a volunteer or endorsing it.
Go to the project page for guidance on starting to contribute as an editor. Link: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Pakoire/Performing_Arts_Aotearoa_-_Wiki_Project
I will update this project page regularly plus send out weekly updates. The focus of this grant is on quality content on Wikipedia, Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata. I encourage you to go in-depth and reach out for hints about where to get resources. There is heaps available on-line. Reach out with problems eg. Categories etc
There will be three formal edit-a-thons in Wellington, Auckland and Dunedin. Dates to be confirmed.
You can email me at any time maule.lisa@gmail.com or message me on my talk page.
My focus once the project starts will be on getting resources available for editors from organisations, and educating people in organisations on what Wiki platforms are and how and why they can be engaged. Pakoire (talk) 07:32, 8 May 2021 (UTC)
- Congratulations on your project grant! It was great to get to talk to you today.
- I visited your project page and I added the WikiProject Cultural venues under your Wikidata section.
- I'm glad you invited participants to "make a note of what you learn / want advice on". You could recommend that they use either your project talk page or, even better, the WikiProjects respective talk pages to signal things they need advice on or problems they are encoutering. If you or any other participant in your project need any Wikidata help the best thing is to "ping" the community in its WikiProjet. If you are not familiar with the process, here's how it works:
- Start a new topic;
- Ask your question;
- Notify the community with this code:
{{Ping project|Performing arts}}
- I don't however don't think it is possible to ping a community across Wikimedia namespaces. I tried to tinker with the code and couldn't get the notification to work.
