Hi all, I am forwarding you this message from Davide, the Wikipedian in Residence at Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso in Rovereto (TN).
You find him in copy, please contact him directly if you interested in the projec. Cristian On behalf of Wikimedia Italia --- Dear Wikimedians, I am the Wikipedian-in-Residence at Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso (OBC), an italian research centre, and I am coming to you looking for help in concluding my project on press and media freedom in East and South-East Europe. in in these months at OBC I've been developing a series of pages of the "Media of <Country X>" series. I've added information on the media system and media freedom in several countries of East and South East Europe (Caucasus is coming soon too), by building upon reports of international organisations such as the EJC, Freedom House, etc. You will find the links in the GLAM/OBC page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:GLAM/OBC. Now, I would like to ask for your collaboration as citizens and native speakers. It would be good if one or more of you could "adopt" the article concerning your own country, check it for mistakes and update it where needed, with native-language sources too. Secondly, once verified, it could be good to translate the article in the original language of the country concerned too. Will you be able find some time in the coming weeks to help me with this project? I hope so :) Just get in touch, either here or on the related page. Looking forward to hearing from you, Best regards, Davide Davide Denti Osservatorio Balcani e Caucaso - WiR ECPMF email: de...@balcanicaucaso.org skype: davide.denti On Sun, Nov 1, 2015 at 5:02 PM, Cristian Consonni <kikkocrist...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Dear Wikimedians, > > Wikimedia Italia has started since this month a project with > "Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso" (Balcan and Caucasus Observatory, > <http://www.balcanicaucaso.org/eng>). > > Osservatorio Balcani Caucaso (OBC) is a research institute focused on > South-East Europe, Turkey and the Caucasus which was launched in the > year 2000 and which is based in Rovereto (Trento), in the north-east > of Italy.
