[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: December 14 Conversation hour about organizing for #WikiForHumanRights 2022
Apologies for cross posting -- join us to Decmber 14th to learn more! -- Forwarded message - From: Alex Stinson Date: Wed, Dec 1, 2021 at 2:39 PM Subject: December 14 Conversation hour about organizing for #WikiForHumanRights 2022 To: Wikimedia Mailing List *TL:DR --* Join us for a Conversation hour December 14 at 1500 UTC to learn how to organize for WikiForHumanRights 2022. Hello Everyone! #WikiForHumanRights: Right to a Healthy Environment 2022 [1]is back! >From April 15 through to June 14 2022 we encourage local affiliates, individuals or organizations interested in the campaign to organize activities around the intersecting themes of human rights and the environment. If you are interested in organizing your community for the campaign, please join us for a conversation hour on December 14 at 1500 UTC [4] (more details below) to learn how you can participate. Why the Right to a Healthy Environment? This October, the Right to a Healthy Environment was formally recognized [1] by the United Nations Human Rights Council. According to Michelle Bachelet, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights: "A safe, clean, healthy, and sustainable environment is the foundation of human life. But today, because of human action – and inhuman inaction – the triple planetary crises of climate change, pollution, and nature loss is directly and severely impacting a broad range of rights, including the rights to adequate food, water, education, housing, health, development, and even life itself."[2] The environmental crisis is getting more complex. Humanity needs to make thousands of big and small decisions to address it. As the UN Environmental Program described it, we need to make “Peace with Nature”[3] and protect the human rights of the most vulnerable. Wikipedia and other platforms need to fill the knowledge gaps at the intersection of sustainability and human rights in every context and language. The world needs access to reliable information about the link between environmental sustainability and human rights. What can you do? Help us organize! We need your help! The campaign will officially launch on April 15 (one week before Earth Day), but we need your help now to begin preparing this global call to action. Last year we had 24 community-led editathons, workshops, webinars, and writing contests, with contributions to over 2000 articles in more than 40 languages. To match (and hopefully exceed) these impacts, we need your help to organize your local communities! Activities related to human rights and sustainability are good topics for local communities to both a) identify new partners, b) recruit enthusiastic participants and c) fill key topics for impact in their own language or context. Join the Conversation to learn more! Join us for 1.5 hours of conversation Tuesday the 14th December 2021 15:00 UTC on Zoom <https://wikimedia.zoom.us/j/84871090509> [4], to learn more about: - How you can participate in this campaign and organize local events in your community or region. - Which topics this campaign will target, and how you can connect with subject matter experts, partners, and other resources to support successful content creation activities. - How the Wikimedia Foundation Campaigns team can support you in designing your event and doing targeted outreach to potential contributors drawn to these topics.

Re: [Wikimediaindia-l] [Wikimedia-l] Introducing 'Wiki for X'
Hi Phillipe and Tulsi, As you may or may not be aware, I have been guiding an effort to pilot Wikimedia Foundation capacity for supporting community content campaigns: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Foundation_Campaigns_Team So we have seen a wide range of different naming conventions for community campaigns. Wiki Loves typically include photography campaigns, while Wiki for (or 4) campaigns are typically writing activities with a focus on an advocacy topic with broad international agreement i.e. representation of women, SDGs or Human Rights (as Phillipe notes advocacy positions are complicated ). There are of course exceptions to this pattern (i.e Wiki Loves SDGS: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Grants:Project/Rapid/Wiki_Loves_SDGs_Nigeria ) because the conventions are accidental cultural phenomena rather than planned and deliberate . However, suggesting that there needs to be a uniform naming convention isn't very helpful across widely divergent campaigns with different goals, different audiences, and different communication contexts (i.e. languages or cultures). For me, the more important concern is helping organizers choose the right name for the audiences they want to engage (that, for example, activists need to know we are supportive of SDGs, Climate action or representation of Women rather than trying to document something en-mass i.e. Butterflies or Monuments). For example, Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos, WikiGap, Black Lunch Table and InvisibleWikiWomen all have very deliberate communication and branding choices behind their names. If new organizers need help thinking through naming for their own campaigns -- it's worth exploring the various bits of documentation we are gathering at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns or reaching out to my colleague Felix Nartey or myself. Glad that we are thinking publically about how we show up in campaigns :) Cheers, Alex Stinson On Tue, Mar 30, 2021 at 1:41 PM Philippe Beaudette wrote: > I have hesitations.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Help us Communicate #WikiForHumanRights
Hi everyone, Today, since it's International Human Rights day we’re starting some public promotion of the #WikiForHumanRights campaign, and we would appreciate your help in spreading the word! On social media this week, we’re highlighting community edit-a-thons and events, facts about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and asking everyone to reflect on the role of human rights in their own lives. We’ll be promoting the campaign throughout December and January, so there are plenty of opportunities to get involved. If you are interested in sharing the campaign’s messages on social media, please retweet and share from @Wikipedia and @Wikimedia on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. You can also find draft messages, hashtags, and campaign gifs in the “communicate and share the campaign!” section of the campaign page on Meta.[1] If your local community isn’t yet engaged in the campaign, you can learn how to organize and get involved online on the Organize page on Meta.

[Wikimediaindia-l] WikiForHumanRights: Help us Organize the Campaign, November 15-January 30
Hello all, and apologies for crossposting! I hope you are doing well! As you may have noticed when we announced the partnership in August [1]: the Wikimedia Foundation is working with the UN Human Rights to help expand the availability of knowledge about human rights online. As one of our first collaborations, we are going to be running a campaign from November 15 - January 30 to add and improve knowledge about human rights on Wikipedia and the Wikimedia projects. The initial focus of the campaign will be on improving articles about topics related to the UN Declaration of Human Rights and youth standing up for human rights. More information about the campaign is also available here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights We would like to invite you to get involved in the campaign in one of several ways: Help us build the list! - We need your help identifying more topics related to youth involved in human rights that don’t have articles on Wikipedia or could use further improvement. We would like to represent many different languages and geographies in the campaign. To propose topics for the list, see instructions at: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/List#Adding_a_topic_to_the_Youth_Lists Organize an online or offline event! We need your help finding community leaders from throughout the Wikimedia to: - Host an online campaign on your language Wikipedia! To learn more about hosting a local topical campaign see the kit here: https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/WikiForHumanRights/Organize#Campaign - Hold an in person editathon with local human rights organizations or partners!

[Wikimediaindia-l] Help us improve a framework for supporting content campaigns!
Hello everyone, Apologies for cross-posting, and please forward to communities who you think will be interested. In light of the movement’s increased focus on diversity and becoming essential infrastructure for diverse human knowledge, the Community Programs team at the WMF has begun investigating the use of content campaigns in the movement. Campaigns are some of the most reliable ways to create new content and introduce new contributors to the movement, but we have a lot of questions like: What are the different steps that our community organizers have to go through in order to organize campaigns and contests such as Wiki Loves Monuments, Wikipedia Asian Month, #1lib1ref Wikidata Menu Challenge etc.? What are the tools that are being used in organizing these campaigns and contests such as PetScan, Listeria, CitationHunt, Fountain, wscontest tool, Outreach Dashboard etc.? During some initial research into the space, we have developed a draft Organizer Framework <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Campaigns/Organizer_Framework>[1] that highlights key stages in organizing any campaign/contest and the documentation that we could find supporting those stages. Now, we need your help us improve the framework so that we can help less experienced organizers understand how to better support content campaigns. Please join us in discussing the framework and provide feedback on the talk page <https://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Campaigns/Organizer_Framework&action=edit&redlink=1>[2] or connect with us on the discuss forum.[3] If you want to reach out directly, feel free to email us at astin...@wikimedia.org or sg...@wikimedia.org.

[Wikimediaindia-l] Fwd: New GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage role at the Wikimedia Foundation
Hi all, This job is very relevant to organizers and community members on the African and Indian lists, and the WikiSource community. Do try to share the listing with folks you think would be interested. Cheers, Alex -- Forwarded message -- From: Alex Stinson Date: Tue, Jul 10, 2018 at 5:00 PM Subject: New GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage role at the Wikimedia Foundation To: Wikimedia Chapters cultural partners coordination < cultural-partn...@wikimedia.ch>, "Wikimedia & GLAM collaboration [Public]" < g...@lists.wikimedia.org>, North American Cultural Partnerships < glam...@lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia & Libraries < librar...@lists.wikimedia.org> Hi All, I am really excited to share with you the opening of a new job working within the Programs Team at the Wikimedia Foundation: a Program Officer focused on GLAM and Underrepresented Heritage. As part of orienting our team to better support the Wikimedia Movement direction, we hope this role can help us to better support tactics and strategies that are becoming important among emerging communities wanting to get involved in GLAM programs -- including, for example, leveraging digitization, WikiSource and Wiki Loves type events to document marginalized knowledge. They will be working closely with our existing GLAM team, including Alex Stinson and Sandra Fauconnier, to document and expand the impact of GLAM partnership in the movement, and to help us advance the larger Equity and Infrastructure goals of the movement direction. We also hope that this role helps our team build increased depth of experience with Wikimedia communities outside of North America and Europe, where existing GLAM communities have a strong community of practice and from which Sandra and Alex (and Ben, the Programs team director) have deep backgrounds. If you know someone who is enthusiastic about or has deep experience facilitating GLAM-Wiki or similar community initiatives, please share the job announcement with them: https://boards.greenhouse.io/ wikimedia/jobs/1236692 Cheers, Alex -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM -- Alex Stinson GLAM-Wiki Strategist Wikimedia Foundation Twitter:@glamwiki/@sadads Learn more about how the communities behind Wikipedia, Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects partner with cultural heritage organizations: https://outreach.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM ___ Wikimediaindia-l mailing list Wikimediaindia-l@lists.wikimedia.org To unsubscribe from the list / change mailing preferences visit https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikimediaindia-l
