Re: [Wikimedia-l] Annual Report for Wikimedia User Group Turkey

[Satdeep Gill]

Thanks for so much for sharing this Başak. It's lovely to read about all
the amazing activities that the UG did in this year.

I am particularly interested in Wikisource. So, what's happening on Turkish
Wikisource?

Best

[Wikimedia-l] Wikipedians of Goa User Group....

[Frederick Noronha]

Dear all: Our annual report is here:
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wikipedians_of_Goa_User_Group#2020_updates
It's our first year as an affiliate, and liking it.

2020 updates[edit

]

Despite the pandemic, the year has been marked by quite a bit of activity
and some new welcome initiatives too. 2020 also marks the first year since
the Wikipedians of Goa User Group was approved, in mid-2019. We have seen
growth of the Wikipedia visibility in Goa and growth of Goa's visibility on
the Wikipedia. We hope that this trend can be sustained and see further
growth. Some initiatives from the last year or so:

   - The Discoverer
, Isidore
   Dantas
   

   , Konknni Mogi
   

and
   other volunteers have been working assiduously on the Konkani Wiktionary
   project, which aims at building an open and sharable Konkani dictionary in
   cyberspace. A Wiktionary workshop and meet-ups were held at St. Xavier's
   College, Mapusa in May and December 2019. Since they had been meeting their
   monthly targets in the incubator to keep the project current, the Language
   Committee of the Wikimedia Foundation approved the project on 27 March
   2020. The Konkani Wiktionary moved to its newly-created site
    on 21 May 2020. The Wiktionary has
   over 2300 entries as of November 2020. Congratulations!
   - SerTanmay
   

   , YourTara
   
,
   Julius and team have launched and started the *Wikipedia Weekends*
initiative
   on WhatsApp. This is a small group (currently about 14 members) of
   coordinators, planners and active networkers who plan and undertake
   activities of interest to wider groups and individuals in Goa.
   - On October 17, 2020, the *Wikipedia Weekends* organised an hour-long
   Google Meet event focussing on Wikimedia Commons and the hows, whys of
   sharing content there. Some 26 interested members participated and stayed
   with the event through much of it. We are hoping this will result in more
   relevant photographs being shared on and from Goa
   .
   - On October 18, 2020 (Sunday), another *Wikipedia Weekend* event was
   held online, focusing on editing the Wikipedia. Over two dozen enthusiastic
   participants took part.
   - Fredericknoronha
   's contribution
   was acknowledged with his selection as the Wikipedia Editor of the Week
   recognition on March 29, 2020.
   - To build wider relevance about Goa on the Wikipedia, and greater
   interest in Goa for the Wikipedia two initiatives were built offering
   ambitious overviews related to the world of w:music
    and w:animal rights
    respectively. These are: List
   of bands in Goa 
and Animal welfare and rights in Goa
    It is
   thought that these issues would not only highlight issues important to the
   region of Goa, but also promote more Wikipedia-awareness in Goa itself.
   - To promote the relevance of the Wikipedia at the grassroots in Goa, a
   collaborative project is being undertaken to build and promote Wikipedia
   pages for every village in Goa
   . This will mean
   creating (or improving) for some 340+ villages here. Fredericknoronha has
   undertaken to take responsibility for the villages of the sub-district (
   *taluka*) of w:Bardez , and
   currently about seven out of 43 villages are remaining to be created.
   - 
   
   President Joe Biden by AngFerrao
   WGUG has been encouraging photo enthusiasts, artists and other creative
   persons to share photos and other material via the Wikimedia Commons.
   Alongside is a digital artwork by AngFerrao, a Goan artist, caricaturist
   and cartoonist, who shared her sketch of newly-elected w:President Joe
   Biden .
   - Goan expat artist Dom Martin has also donated a
   
   
   Sita Valles by Dom Martin
   copyright-free sketch on Sita Valles, a locally little-known Goan figure
   until an entry from the Portuguese

[Wikimedia-l] Community Wishlist Survey 2021

[Szymon Grabarczuk]

We invite all registered users to vote on the 2021 Community Wishlist
Survey[1]. You can vote until 21 December for as many different wishes as
you want.

In the Survey, wishes for new and improved tools for experienced editors
are collected. After the voting, we will do our best to grant your wishes.
We will start with the most popular ones.

We, the Community Tech[2], are one of the Wikimedia Foundation[3] teams. We
create and improve editing and wiki moderation tools. What we work on is
decided based on results of the Community Wishlist Survey. Once a year, you
can submit wishes. After two weeks, you can vote on the ones that you're
most interested in. Next, we choose wishes from the survey to work on. Some
of the wishes may be granted by volunteer developers or other teams.

We are waiting for your votes. Thank you!

[Wikimedia-l] Events Refresh: Community Input

[Joël Letang]

Hello everyone,

Following up on recent news [1] that was shared in regards to the Events
Refresh [2] ,we are continuing our efforts to improve our processes,
systems, accessibility and reevaluate our strategy.

We are launching our first survey* and we are looking for your ideas,
inputs and suggestions!

With this survey we are zooming in on 4 areas of focus:

   -

   Capacity building
   -

   Newcomer strategy for first time event participants
   -

   Participation accessibility
   -

   Events team office hours

In this survey you will be asked to identify and prioritize capacity
building practices, identify needs and tools you believe are most needed
for your local community’s development. The information you'll provide will
provide a basis for new tools, training processes, services and resources
we will build in the coming months.


We would like to invite you to participate by completing our survey by *January
31st, 2021* at the latest [3]. The survey has 20 questions and should not
take more than 10-12 minutes. If you wish you could also choose to
participate in Focus Group Interviews, which are scheduled to take place
during the first quarter of 2021. An option to self-select has been
included in the survey.



Please feel free to send this survey through to anyone you think would be
interested.



Thank you so much for your participation!



On behalf of the Community Events Team,



Joël L.
