[Wikimedia-l] Bengali Wikisource awareness campaign videos

2018-09-30 Thread Bodhisattwa Mandal

Hi all,

[Sorry for not adding the subject in the previous mail, many apologies]

We are happy to announce that, three Bengali Wikisource Awareness Campaign
videos have been released in Youtube channel
 of West Bengal
Wikimedians user Group
. This campaign
was first such initiative to promote Wikisource among new readers.

The project was first placed in IdeaLab

as part of Inspire Campaign and was later funded by Wikimedia Foundation rapid
grant
.
The details can be found here
.

The youtube links of the short videos can be found here -
* লে হালুয়া  (What just
happened)
* মায়ের নজর  (Watchful eyes)
 * দুনিয়া যখন দোরগোড়ায়
 (World at your doorstep)

The videos were also uploaded to Commons. The links are as follows-
* লে হালুয়া

(What just happened)
* মায়ের নজর 
(Watchful eyes)
* দুনিয়া যখন দোরগোড়ায়

(World at your doorstep)

The video production could have not been possible without -
* Director - Ishan Sharma (Satyajit Ray Film and Television Institute,
Kolkata)
* Cinematographer - Sukhansaar Singh (do)
* Executive Producer - Aryaman Nath (do)
* Sound Director - Sukrit Sen (do)
* Focus Puller - Theodros Tadesse (Ethiopia)
* Assistant Director - Sneha Das (do)
* Editor - Himangshu Kamble (Mumbai)
* Colorist - Pankaj Nelson (Mumbai)
* Plot proposer - Deepanjan Ghosh (Radio Mirchi Kolkata)
* Cast - Sujan Ghosh, Suavo Mukherjee, Ritam Sarkar, Raja Chakravorty,
Shrabanti Bhattacharya and Avinash
* Bengali Wikisource team - Bodhisattwa Mandal, Hrishikes Sen, Mahir
Morshed, Jayanta Nath
* WMF liaison - Satdeep Gill (Thanks a lot, buddy!)

It was a completely new experience for us, and we have learnt a lot from
the entire project. We will try to promote the videos for next 1 month and
submit our grant report within the deadline of 30 October, 2018.

Please do watch the videos and feel free to create subtitles in your
languages. The English and Bengali subtitles are already there in Youtube
and Commons.

Enjoy!!

Re: [Wikimedia-l] FY1718 Fundraising Report now published

2018-09-30 Thread Joseph Seddon

Hey Pine!

The potential for growth in fundraising in the various geographic locations
is limited by a huge number of factors limited but not including:

Population size, Per capita GDP/Purchasing power parity, Disposable income,
Internet penetration rates, Wikimedia project penetration rates, Prevalence
of philanthropy (including both small or large donors), Propensity towards
desktop or mobile usage, Online payments/banking behaviours, Regulatory
Environments etc. , Ability to implement A/B testing activities

GDP and Readership are significant controlling forces and once you adjust
for those, the continent discrepancies become significantly narrower. And
that doesn't factor in the any of the more challenging to define variables.

As a department we are always evaluating areas for growth, new local
payment methods, monitoring changes to the regulatory environment. The work
the new readers team and volunteers across the globe also plays a
significant long term role in improving our ability to fundraise outside of
Europe and America as we try to grow our readership in these countries.

We are also focusing a lot of efforts on trying to ensure our mobile
campaigns are more effective as much of our readership in advanced
economies transition from mobile to desktop. This will by default improve
our performance in lower income economies as they join the internet
directly to mobile.

Regards
Seddon

EDIT SUMMARY
 
   If you look at the contributions of the person that reverted 
you, and did not leave 
 
an edit summary, in most cases an administrator, you will find that yours 
was 1 out 
 
of  10 they have made in last 60 seconds or more , with that kind of 
editing they are 
 
not looking 
 
at what you have done, but the fact that you are an IP editing, they are 
eather  watching
 
you from past edits (stalking you) or watching real time edits done by 
IP’s.
 
your good faith edit and your  discussion on the talk page are not looked at, 
and 
even
 
the  talk – discussion page is reverted.
 
(talk page en wikipedia and  discussion page wikidata)
 
    Not knowing what you have done wrong, if any, starts 
edit wars, or notice board 
 
complaints and page blocking etc.
 
To that end and to stop one part of the problem on en wikipedia and 
wikidata etc.. 
 
the edit summary needs to be mandatory to the point that the save will not 
work until
 
you type something in the box, and that the the  default summary message is 
disabled .

As 
advice to an individual editor on how to deal with good faith but problematics 
edits, I would say give the newbie feedback on exactly what the specific 
problem 
is with their reverted edit explain how to fix it, and continue to watch the 
article and their user talk page to see how they are going, and keep offering 
help until they get it right.

For my long answer on how to do it at 
scale, see my other longer email.

Kerry,

This discussion about reverts, combined with my 
recent experience on ENWP, makes me wonder if there's a way to make reverts 
feel 
less hostile on average. Do you have any ideas about how to do 
that?

Thanks,

Hi Thea,

Thank you for sharing this report.

I very much like the visual design, which I think is simple, clear, and
concise. Who did the design?

Regarding the sentences, "We imagine a world in which every single human
being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge. Each year, with your
support, we edge closer toward that vision.": I suggest removing the second
sentence because the horizons of human knowledge continue to expand at a
significant rate, and I doubt that we have evidence that we're keeping up
in every human language with the pace that human knowledge advances, let
alone moving fast enough to catch up.

I'm a bit surprised by the relatively low revenue from regions other than
North America and Europe. Those look like areas where Fundraising could be
more successful in the future. Does Fundraising have plans to work on
improving revenue from those regions?

Congratulations on the success with asking donors to cover transaction fees.

Thanks again for sharing this report.

Pine
