Content

This program aims to reduce gaps in content on the Wikimedia projects through events, contests, and partnerships.


Objectives: Over the next 6 months:

  • Raise the awareness of the cultural institutions about their role with respect to free culture and knowledge. Nowadays we can perceive an improvement in the relationship between cultural institutions and free culture and free movement, but we want to survey our partners on the subject, both, before and after the collaboration between Wikimedia España and the GLAM institution, and the staff and also the direction and volunteers (in case there were).
  • Achievement of free materials by involving cultural institutions in the development of quality content, with 4,000 items released by 2 partners, and 200 items used in Wikimedia articles.
  • Increase the participation of editors by involving 70 new editors in content activities.
  • Generate a feeling of trust in Wikimedia among cultural institutions we work with by continuing effective collaborations with four institutions that involve 50 active editors, with three institutions agreeing when surveyed that Wikimedia is an effective partner and three institutions agreeing they are more confident in doing Wikimedia-related work after the collaboration than they were before the collaboration.
  • Increase the quality and quantity of Wikimedia content, with 4,100 media added (820 unique images used) and 1,270 articles improved or created through content activities.

Activities:

  • Organizing three contests both of articles and photography to get quality content.
  • Collaboration with six cultural institutions (GLAM) to get quality content and disseminate the values of Wikimedia movement. Our GLAM collaboration plan with includes the following activities: training sessions, about both Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects, and for both the public and staff; donation of content such as images or documents; events as edit-a-thons; talks on the Wikimedia projects and free knowledge.
  • Organizing five edit-a-thons to attract eight new editors and improve content. In addition to Wikipedia and Commons, Wikisource will be edited.
  • Events coverage of about five events, especially sports (both outdoors and indoors), music festivals and other cultural and social events such as film festivals and public presentations. A person attends the event, generally with an official accreditation, takes photos and uploads them to Commons. We also plan create articles on Wikinews for each event.

Community

This program aims to build a decentralized structure, providing local groups with the means to organize Wikimedia activities in different locations throughout Spain. We want to make our local groups able to organize activities with the support of the national organization (Wikimedia Spain), rather than having the latter looking for local helpers for their activities. We also want to reach different language groups.


Objectives:

Over the next 6 months:

  • Develop the internal infrastructure of the chapter in order to increase our capacity to better support local groups.
  • Increase collaboration with local communities by partnering with 25 volunteers on seven different projects in seven different regions throughout Spain. Some events will probably involve additional regions, but we cannot be sure yet.
  • Increase membership from 99 to 130.
  • Increase diffusion and visibility of the chapter in society. Chapter diffusion in society can be measured through statistics: followers on social media like twitter or facebook, number of blog posts and visits to them and number of mentions in the press.

Activities:

  • Three members’ meetings to involve more volunteers in chapter work throughout the year.
  • Annual Assembly, organizing parallel activities.
  • Increasing membership through campaigns on social networks and during other activities.
  • Supporting local communities in the development of activities and programs. WMES experience running different kinds of events will be a great help. We will also assist with the inscription process, metrics, contacting Wikimedia Admins.
  • Communication: improving the visibility of the chapter’s activities through the new blog and website and offer merchandising in the events to facilitate the dissemination of the movement.

CONTENT

  • Raise the awareness of the cultural institutions about their role with respect to free culture and knowledge. Nowadays we can perceive an improvement in the relationship between cultural institutions and free culture and free movement, but we want to survey our partners on the subject, both, before and after the collaboration between Wikimedia España and the GLAM institution, and the staff and also the direction and volunteers (in case there were).
  • In these three months we have maintained a close relationship with various GLAM institutions. GLAMing Madrid project opened the doors to collaboration with the network of state museums and it begins to offer its first results. Those first three museums that collaborated were very satisfied with the experience and have indicated their intention to continue working and carrying out activities; for example, in the National Archaeological Museum is planned to conduct more Wikipedia workshops for staff, as not all workers who were interested could attend the GLAMing workshops; the Museum of Romanticism has continued providing access to classical music concerts to record due to the success of previous experience, and want to organize more editing activities. The three of them also share the desire to upload more images to Wikimedia Commons.
    Apart from those first three museums, others have shown their willingness and interest in collaborating after holding the first meetings with them. Both the Museum of Lázaro Galdiano and González Martí National Museum of Ceramics and Decorative Arts are interested in carry out, first, staff training and then organize activities for the public and improve the content on Wikipedia about their collections. Others, like National Museum of Underwater Archaeology, have been favorable to organize activities such Wiki Takes, open to the public, and improve the content and dissemination related to the museum and Cartagena.
    Other institutions, such library of Castile and Leon and Reina Sofía Library were already working with us and have maintained the intention to continue organizing activities, courses, workshops, etc. In fact, thanks to the library of Castile and Leon we have achieved contact with the network of public libraries of Castile and Leon about undertaking courses and activities for librarians. In the case of the Spanish Army, a first approach has shown its interest in disseminating content related to military history, in this case through the network of military museums in Spain.
    In the case of Joaquin Diaz Foundation, after an initial collaboration in 2013 with the upload to Wikimedia Commons of more than 2000 images, in 2015 we proceeded to upload over 21,000 audios. The success of the initiative was huge, with repercussions on the press, and its responsible was very satisfied with the work done by WMES volunteers.
  • Achievement of free materials by involving cultural institutions in the development of quality content, with 4,000 items released by 2 partners, and 200 items used in Wikimedia articles.
  • In these three months has not released any material from institutions. However there have been very important steps to release content from two institutions. On the one hand Joaquín Díaz Foundation; after the release of more than 21,000 audios, a fact which was presented at a press conference in March 22, the responsable is committed to continue the process of releasing content with other 20,000 more audios.
    On the other hand, the Department of Studies and Corporate Image of the Complutense University of Madrid showed its intention to release content to Wikimedia Commons, mainly images. They have a archive of about 80,000 photos of spaces, official events, academic events, schools... in addition to the historical archives of the university. They needed to consult with his superiors, consider what percentage of that archive can release, organizing work, but showed interest in spreading all or part of this material.
  • Increase the participation of editors by involving 70 new editors in content activities.
  • The number of new editors, thanks to content activities is 56; 32 from the Wikipedia courses at University of Valladolid, 1 from Mother Language Day, 8 from Women´s International Day Edit-a-thon, 8 from Open Education Weekipedia Edit-a-thon and 7 from Help us to change de number edit-a-thon.
  • Generate a feeling of trust in Wikimedia among cultural institutions we work with by continuing effective collaborations with four institutions that involve 50 active editors, with three institutions agreeing when surveyed that Wikimedia is an effective partner and three institutions agreeing they are more confident in doing Wikimedia-related work after the collaboration than they were before the collaboration.
  • In these three months several institutions that maintained a previous collaboration with us have developed activities. The edit-a-thon organized by the Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology, on the occasion of Women's International Day, which was held at the National Museum of Science and Technology, involved 7 editors. The University of Valladolid is a collaborating institution since years ago; in these months three new Wikipedia courses were developed: the Reina Sofía Library involved 26 editors in two courses and La Yutera Library involved 6 editors. In total, the number of editors involved in activities with institutions which we collaborated with is 37.
    After accomplishment of GLAMing Madrid project, we have met several times with the three museums, in order to plan new activities in the future; also we offered them feedback on the impact of their images on the Wikimedia projects. The high number of images used in various projects, especially Wikipedia, as well as visits to articles in which are used, has confirmed the effectiveness of the diffusion of their contents through Wikimedia and maintain their intention to continue working in that direction. Regarding confidence in the projects after the collaboration, we think we have managed to increase that confidence; despite initial skepticism about the quality of the articles that would be created or improved, they have proven the high degree of participation of the users and the use of sources from the museums themselves as references, making it a useful and accurate content.
  • Increase the quality and quantity of Wikimedia content, with 4,100 media added (820 unique images used) and 1,270 articles improved or created through content activities.

COMMUNITY

  • Develop the internal infrastructure of the chapter in order to increase our capacity to better support local groups.
  • In the last months we have experienced an increase of wikimeetings on a more or less regular basis in different cities of the Spanish geography, especially Madrid, Valencia, Zaragoza, Valladolid and Oviedo. Furthermore on March 21st was started the first wikipod dedicated to photography in Cordoba (OpenShot). Our strategy is also to search for new members from regions that have so far a low representation from a geographic point of view.
  • Increase collaboration with local communities by partnering with 25 volunteers on seven different projects in seven different regions throughout Spain. Some events will probably involve additional regions, but we cannot be sure yet.
  • This term we have been able to hold our largest gathering of Wikimedians, Wikipedia 15, in Valladolid, Zaragoza and Madrid. It has resulted fruitful in terms of membership and also in terms of collaboration among Wikimedians. From our group in Valladolid-Palencia area, we have supported activities in Ávila, Salamanca and the Portugal-Spain borderland.
    From our activities in Seville last December, an active group has appeared in Córdoba, with two others likely in Almería and Granada. A great improvement to our activities in Andalusia, that had been centered in Seville-Cádiz Bay area.
    Our project of pictures of municipalities is leading to an increasing collaboration among editors from Andalusia, Aragon, Castile and Leon and the Land of Valencia. They are stablishing their own ways to keep track of the job. Nine editors are very active, two of them in Aragon but working also in Northern Castile-La Mancha, Eastern Castile and Leon, and Navarre; another three are doing Castile and Leon, and there is are least one active in each the Land of Valencia, Northeastern Andalusia and Extremadura. This event extends well beyond the realm of Commons, as pictures have provided a great number of edits in Wikipedias in fifty languages and in Wikidata.
    The Mother Tongue contest succeded in getting edits in all eight languages in Spain. With this event we also managed to contact an editor in Extremaduran, something that we had been unable to do previously. Edits in Galician and Asturian have been very encouraging, and contributions in Catalan have been many and large, as usual. Editors in different languages helped to have the project pages translated.
    Art&Feminism edit-a-thon in València has allowed as to share the experience with Amical. We also shared with them Poetry Day contest. Both events have also been good chances to reduce gender gap. And both events have also added many new Q-items to Wikidata, as they were themed on very underrepresented groups.
    Poetry Day and Art&Feminism follow two different strategies. Poetry Day is focused on present editors and works by making them edit on line, needing little supervision: most of the time the very contestants are running -efficiently- the contest and asking for more job to do. Editions are big, quality is good and there are no problems with the community. On the other hand A+F is mainly in person, with many editors with little to no experience. They have to be cared and some problems with the community are unavoidable. The advantage of A+F is that it brings new editors and personal contact with people. In this case, we met people from the City Hall and also people related to libraries. We are taking advantage of such contacts to develope more activities, e.g. Wiki Takes Camí de Vera.
    In brief, we have done activities in Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, Castile-La Mancha, Castile and Leon, Galicia, the Land of Valencia, Madrid, and Navarre. The number of people involved in each event goes from 9 to 17.
  • Increase membership from 99 to 130.
  • Data of March 31st: 25 female, 89 male = 114. Net increase: 15.
  • Increase diffusion and visibility of the chapter in society. Chapter diffusion in society can be measured through statistics: followers on social media like twitter or facebook, number of blog posts and visits to them and number of mentions in the press.
  • As of April 15, followers on social networks were 2849 in Twitter and 1235 in Facebook. The number of posts in this three months were 12, both in WMES and WMF blogs, and the number of visits to the blog 183 152. The mentions in the press include events like Wikipedia15, Comunica2 Congress, Women´s International Day and Wiki Loves Folk, counting 29 mentions. We have been interviewed by two main TV chains (La 1 and La Sexta).
