Machado [[User:Vapmachado|Vapmachado]] ([[User talk:Vapmachado|talk]]) 04:15, 1 March 2011 (UTC) :Hello, :Thanks for your input. I have looked this situation over, and while I do not ''control'' this wiki any more than anyone else, I can tell you what my experience is in these kinds of situations: after more than ten years, Wikipedia and its sister projects have developed such a complex universe of opinions and policies that no-one can really be said to follow every guideline at any point. One editor may focus more on quality, and another on users' feelings. No-one, and both, are right. But since we need to co-exist here, we should each of us, take pains in understand the other one before we make drastic decisions. And I think that Sue concurs with me. :Let me rephrase it a little bit for clarity's sake: the first years Wikipedia existed, the goal was simply to have articles on every subject and people tried to get as many edits as they could. Then another phase came along, where most everybody was concerned with quality: they added more and more sources, and tried to get more scientists to contribute. Around 2009, the third phase started to grow, but it wasn't until 2011 that it has really come into full effect, and it is still not the dominant way of thinking, namely that we should focus on the users. After all, it's the users that create the content. We are right now in the process of [[:meta:Gender gap|trying to get more women to contribute to Wikipedia and its sister projects]], for instance, At the same time, there are users who have been present since the beginning, and we shouldn't ignore their needs and wants either. And the compromise here is very difficult - for everybody. Not just for the newcomers who come into a culture that is well-established and complex and yes, a little rough sometimes, but for the veterans, who have seen every attempt at change Wikipedia before, and who have had good results with their present methods. Sue (and I) represent those who have looked at the developments here, and [http://strategy.wikimedia.org/wiki/Main_Page try to see how Wikipedia should (and need to) evolve in the upcoming years]. :In conclusion, now that Mono has restored your user page and explained his/her reason for removing it in the first place, I trust that the situation has resolved itself, and that we all can get back to being productive both here and on other Wikimedia projects.

Thanks in advance, [[User:Snowolf|Snowolf]] ([[User talk:Snowolf|talk]]) 22:07, 2 December 2011 (UTC) == An important message about renaming users == <div class="mw-content-ltr"> Dear Hannibal, I am cross-posting this message to many places to make sure everyone who is a Wikimedia Foundation project bureaucrat receives a copy. If you are a bureaucrat on more than one wiki, you will receive this message on each wiki where you are a bureaucrat. As you may have seen, work to perform the Wikimedia cluster-wide [[mw:SUL finalisation|single-user login finalisation]] (SUL finalisation) is taking place. This may potentially effect your work as a local bureaucrat, so please read this message carefully. Why is this happening? As currently stated at [[m:Global rename policy|the global rename policy]], a global account is a name linked to a single user across all Wikimedia wikis, with local accounts unified into a global collection. Previously, the only way to rename a unified user was to individually rename every local account. This was an extremely difficult and time-consuming task, both for stewards and for the users who had to initiate discussions with local bureaucrats (who perform local renames to date) on every wiki with available bureaucrats. The process took a very long time, since it's difficult to coordinate crosswiki renames among the projects and bureaucrats involved in individual projects. The SUL finalisation will be taking place in stages, and one of the first stages will be to turn off Special:RenameUser locally. This needs to be done as soon as possible, on advice and input from Stewards and engineers for the project, so that no more accounts that are unified globally are broken by a local rename to usurp the global account name. Once this is done, the process of global name unification can begin. The date that has been chosen to turn off local renaming and shift over to entirely global renaming is 15 September 2014, or three weeks time from now. In place of local renames is a new tool, hosted on Meta, that allows for global renames on all wikis where the name is not registered will be deployed. Your help is greatly needed during this process and going forward in the future if, as a bureaucrat, renaming users is something that you do or have an interest in participating in. The Wikimedia Stewards have set up, and are in charge of, a new community usergroup on Meta in order to share knowledge and work together on renaming accounts globally, called [[m:Global renamers|Global renamers]]. Stewards are in the process of creating documentation to help global renamers to get used to and learn more about global accounts and tools and Meta in general as well as the application format. As transparency is a valuable thing in our movement, the Stewards would like to have at least a brief public application period. If you are an experienced renamer as a local bureaucrat, the process of becoming a part of this group could take as little as 24 hours to complete. You, as a bureaucrat, should be able to apply for the global renamer right on Meta by the [[m:SRGP|requests for global permissions]] page on 1 September, a week from now. In the meantime please update your local page where users request renames to reflect this move to global renaming, and if there is a rename request and the user has edited more than one wiki with the name, please send them to [[:m:SRUC|the request page for a global rename]]. Stewards greatly appreciate the trust local communities have in you and want to make this transition as easy as possible so that the two groups can start working together to ensure everyone has a unique login identity across Wikimedia projects. Completing this project will allow for long-desired universal tools like a global watchlist, global notifications and many, many more features to make work easier. If you have any questions, comments or concerns about the SUL finalisation, read over the [[m:SUL|Help:Unified login]] page on Meta and leave a note on the talk page there, or on the talk page for [[m:Talk:Global renamers|global renamers]]. You can also contact me on [[m:User talk:Keegan (WMF)|my talk page on meta]] if you would like. I'm working as a bridge between Wikimedia Foundation Engineering and Product Development, Wikimedia Stewards, and you to assure that SUL finalisation goes as smoothly as possible; this is a community-driven process and I encourage you to work with the Stewards for our communities.

Here's some stuff you can do: * [[Outreach team#Volunteers|Volunteer to join the outreach team]] so we know that we're allowed to ask you for help ;-) * [[Languages and skills|Indicate your languages and skills]] on [[Special:Mypage|your user page]] so we know ''how'' you can best help! * [[Bookshelf|Review the bookshelf materials]], help with [[Localization guidelines (Bookshelf)|localization]] and [[Talk:Bookshelf|add your feedback]] * [[GLAM|Learn about our work with cultural institutions]] and [[GLAM/Discussion|join ongoing conversations]] * [[Account Creation Improvement Project|Join the Account Creation Improvement Project]], aiming to increase editing by new users * [[Wikipedia student clubs|Start a student club]] at your university See the sidebar for some other projects you can get involved in. The [[Village pump]] is a great place to ask questions, but don't hesitate to leave me a note if I can help. Thanks for stopping by &ndash; hope you like the place and decide to stay! If you ask a crat you will most likely be granted sysop powers here cheers--[[User:Guerillero|<font color="green">Gue</font>]][[User talk:Guerillero|<font color="green">rillero</font>]] 18:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC) == Main_page/ar == Hi, Could you please see why after the protection was enforced that I (an administrator) cannot edit the page?

I just wanted to leave a formal note as a follow-up to an e-mail that you might received many hours ago about the removal of your rights from this site. Per a admittedly [[Wikimedia:Village pump#Cleaning up user rights|very brief discussion on the Village pump]], multiple users supported cleaning up the list, both on and off the page. My goal of doing this was to get a better count of who was an active administrator, as well as purge the list in a move that is in line with other WMF wikis. However, should you still wish to be an administrator on Outreach, please leave me a message on my talk page, and I will promptly restore your rights as soon as I see the message.

Two were totally my translation and editing, and one was done in collaboration from two other translators and my editing. And also contributes in the translation of (File:Licensing tutorial ar.svg). I would definitely like to contribute, the problem is that I am a full-time and part-time translator and interpreter. So my contributions are not steady. I have used before - and still - DotSUB.com to translate Jimmy Wales' video and since then I used it for other translations, but I may consider this website for future use. If you require any help in translations, please feel free to contact. --'''<span style="font-family:'Humanst521 BT'; color:#1F860E">[[User:Haytham abulela|Haytham]]</span><span

We are pleased to announce some improvements to our monthly community-led newsletter, [[Education/News|This Month In Education]], including a [[meta:Global_message_delivery/Targets/This_Month_in_Education|subscribe by email]] option and a [[Education/Newsletter/May_2014/Single|single-page edition]]. This work, we are happy to report that has led to several new subscriptions as well as a significant increase in pageviews per issue (see graphs below). Thanks to [[User:Thelmadatter|Leigh Thelmadatter]] for her continued dedication to this important work. And thanks to our education community for your ongoing contributions of updates, news and stories. [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 16:20, 5 June 2014 (UTC) <gallery> File:This Month In Education Newsletter Pageviews Report Chart 1.png|This Month In Education Newsletter Pageviews Report Bar Graph File:This Month In Education Newsletter Pageviews Report Chart 2.png|This Month In Education Newsletter Pageviews Report Line Graph </gallery> ==Signpost-style article teasers== The News tab looks great this month! Well done with a design that works well for a really full issue.--[[User:Sage (Wiki Ed)|Sage (Wiki Ed)]] ([[User talk:Sage (Wiki Ed)|talk]]) 13:55, 17 June 2014 (UTC) :Thanks, [[User:Sage (Wiki Ed)|Sage]]! :) I knew we needed to shorten this issue, and I thought of the "read more" feature that's used on the WM blog, but I wasn't sure how to do it. [[:it:Utente:Elitre|User:Elitre]] suggested the Signpost-style snippets, and it was exactly what I wanted to try. GLAM had already ported the template to Outreach wiki, so I copied it and tweaked it and think it looks pretty good! I'm glad you agree and I appreciate you saying so. :) It means a lot, and, honestly, it kinda made my day. :) [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 22:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC) == VisualEditor == I wonder if a short article about VisualEditor would be interesting and useful to your readers? People who like it say that it lets them focus more on the writing and less on figuring out the right wikitext code, so it seems like an education-related editor might want to consider it. I'm not sure that everyone would want to use it, because learning wikitext markup might be the goal of some programs, and it does work better on faster computers. What do you think? [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 19:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC) :Hi [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]! :) Thanks for stopping by and offering to share some news with the education community. A short article about VisualEditor seems like a good idea, and a timely one since [[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]] is enabling it here on Outreach wiki later today (see: [[Wikimedia:Village_pump#Enabling_an_opt-in_preference_for_VisualEditor_on_Outreach_wiki|Village pump]]). Teachers and students were the very audience I had in mind when I originally asked about it being a beta feature. You're right, not all will want to use it, but those who do soon can. If your story were to focus on educational applications, highlight the most useful functionality, include screenshots and links to help, and interview a teacher and a student who are active users of VisualEditor, that would really inform our readers. Pinging [[User:Thelmadatter]] to see if she agrees. [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 16:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC) ::I'm not sure that "a short article" can contain all of that, but I'm willing to give it a try. It would be useful to know how much of your program involves peoplew writing in non-Latin languages (especially right-to-left scripts like Hebrew or Arabic). The first step here will be turning it on, and that requires a decision about turning on the language feature. [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 05:22, 25 June 2014 (UTC) :::Well, "short" was your word, not mine. ;) Fortunately, there's no word limit on newsletter articles, so it's not an issue. :) :::VisualEditor has been turned on today as an opt-in beta feature by [[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]] ([[Wikimedia:Village_pump#Enabling_an_opt-in_preference_for_VisualEditor_on_Outreach_wiki|see discussion on Village Pump]]). :::Your question about non-Latin languages is a good one. There are around [[Education/Countries|60 countries]] that we know of doing educational outreach on-wiki and there may be more Wikimedia communities that wish to get involved, too. Arabic and Hebrew are, in fact, two languages we work with. And we have a number of other languages with complex [[w:Input_method_editor|IMEs]]: Armenian, Bengali, Nepali, and others. :::Really glad to have your eyes on this, [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]. And looking forward to your article. [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 06:02, 25 June 2014 (UTC) == Newsletter improvements, June 2014 issue == We are pleased to announce additional improvements to our monthly community-led newsletter, [[Education/News|This Month In Education]]. The most visible change is the [[w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost|Signpost]]-style article teasers, featured on the main page of the newsletter and in a new [[Education/Newsletter/June_2014/Highlights|highlights edition]]. Since our newsletter is published once it month, it can be quite long. The goal here was to share the main ideas without overwhelming the readers. The other major change is a new way to submit articles, called [[Education/Newsletter/Newsroom/Bullet_points|the Bullet points page]]. Here community members can provide basic information about their news and newsletter volunteers will write a brief article for them. The intention is to make it easier for everyone to contribute even if they have concerns about their English skills or their writing skills. We are happy to report the results of these improvements. There are new subscriptions, another significant increase in pageviews (see graphs at right), and more submissions than any issue yet. The [[Education/Newsletter/June_2014/Highlights|June 2014 issue]] featured 21 articles from 13 programs from around the world. This Month In Education is reaching more people and speaking for more programs than ever before, and we think that's a really good thing! :) Many thanks to [[User:Thelmadatter|Leigh Thelmadatter]]. Every month, she pings people on-wiki and nudges people on-list, and as a result, the newsletter always has stories to share. Her ongoing commitment to this important work is very much appreciated! And many thanks to our education community for always sharing your news.

This will be more efficient for everyone: publishers, authors, and readers. And this is in keeping with the frequency of other movement communication methods, for example, the L&E newsletter [[M:Grants:Evaluation/Newsletter/2014/1/1|Evaluation Quarterly]]. If there is consensus for this change, a new name for the education newsletter might be appropriate, for example, ''Wikimedia Education Quarterly''. We welcome your thoughts about the proposal to make this a quarterly newsletter, as well as other ideas about the newsletter publication process.

[[:it:Utente:Elitre|User:Elitre]] suggested the Signpost-style snippets, and it was exactly what I wanted to try. GLAM had already ported the template to Outreach wiki, so I copied it and tweaked it and think it looks pretty good! I'm glad you agree and I appreciate you saying so. :) It means a lot, and, honestly, it kinda made my day. :) [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 22:18, 17 June 2014 (UTC) == VisualEditor == I wonder if a short article about VisualEditor would be interesting and useful to your readers? People who like it say that it lets them focus more on the writing and less on figuring out the right wikitext code, so it seems like an education-related editor might want to consider it. I'm not sure that everyone would want to use it, because learning wikitext markup might be the goal of some programs, and it does work better on faster computers. What do you think? [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]] ([[User talk:Whatamidoing (WMF)|talk]]) 19:10, 23 June 2014 (UTC) :Hi [[User:Whatamidoing (WMF)|Whatamidoing (WMF)]]! :) Thanks for stopping by and offering to share some news with the education community. A short article about VisualEditor seems like a good idea, and a timely one since [[User:Jdforrester (WMF)|James Forrester]] is enabling it here on Outreach wiki later today (see: [[Wikimedia:Village_pump#Enabling_an_opt-in_preference_for_VisualEditor_on_Outreach_wiki|Village pump]]). Teachers and students were the very audience I had in mind when I originally asked about it being a beta feature. You're right, not all will want to use it, but those who do soon can. If your story were to focus on educational applications, highlight the most useful functionality, include screenshots and links to help, and interview a teacher and a student who are active users of VisualEditor, that would really inform our readers. Pinging [[User:Thelmadatter]] to see if she agrees. [[User:AKoval (WMF)|Anna Koval (WMF)]] ([[user talk:AKoval (WMF)|talk]]) 16:01, 24 June 2014 (UTC) ::I'm not sure that "a short article" can contain all of that, but I'm willing to give it a try. It would be useful to know how much of your program involves peoplew writing in non-Latin languages (especially right-to-left scripts like Hebrew or Arabic). The first step here will be turning it on, and that requires a decision about turning on the language feature.

The most visible change is the [[w:Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost|Signpost]]-style article teasers, featured on the main page of the newsletter and in a new [[Education/Newsletter/June_2014/Highlights|highlights edition]]. Since our newsletter is published once it month, it can be quite long. The goal here was to share the main ideas without overwhelming the readers. The other major change is a new way to submit articles, called [[Education/Newsletter/Newsroom/Bullet_points|the Bullet points page]]. Here community members can provide basic information about their news and newsletter volunteers will write a brief article for them. The intention is to make it easier for everyone to contribute even if they have concerns about their English skills or their writing skills. We are happy to report the results of these improvements. There are new subscriptions, another significant increase in pageviews (see graphs at right), and more submissions than any issue yet. The [[Education/Newsletter/June_2014/Highlights|June 2014 issue]] featured 21 articles from 13 programs from around the world. This Month In Education is reaching more people and speaking for more programs than ever before, and we think that's a really good thing! :) Many thanks to [[User:Thelmadatter|Leigh Thelmadatter]]. Every month, she pings people on-wiki and nudges people on-list, and as a result, the newsletter always has stories to share. Her ongoing commitment to this important work is very much appreciated!

If omitted then the English version of the current page is used. This parameter can normally be omitted, as it is only required if you want to link to a page other than the one you place the template on, which is very uncommon. If this parameter is used on a sub-page make sure you supply the root name, not the full page name (e.g. on [[MediaWiki/fr]] you would need to use <code><nowiki>{{Languages|MediaWiki}}</nowiki></code> and not <code><nowiki>{{Languages|MediaWiki/fr}}</nowiki></code>). == Usage == The template should only be placed on pages that exist in more than one language, and it should be placed in the same location on each translation of the page. The English version of a page is always the main version, with all other languages as sub-pages, named using the appropriate language code (see below). For example, on the Main Page you would include the text <code><nowiki>{{Languages}}</nowiki></code>, both on [[Main Page]] itself, and on each of its language sub-pages. The template automatically creates links to any language sub-pages that exist, e.g. <tt>Main Page/ja</tt>, <tt>Main Page/fr</tt>, and ignores non-existant languages. See [[m:Meta:Translate extension]] for further details about translating pages. == Supported languages == [[Special:SiteMatrix]] shows you the code and name of each supported language.

From the very beginning, the project with the museum is an opportunity for us to experiment and look for new methods of implementing GLAM employees in cooperation, in order to build awareness of how Wikimedia projects work and to develop involvement of employees of cultural institutions right away. Each successive GLAM-Wiki training is an opportunity for us to learn lessons and gradually implement changes. This time we came up with the '''idea of splitting the training into an online and a in-person part'''. During the online training, Kamila not only talks about the principles of GLAM-Wiki collaboration, but gives GLAM employees specific tools and tips on how they can examine the presence of their collections in Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia, in order to engage in the planning stage of specific collaborative activities. In this part of the training, museum's professionals are also tasked, after self-assessing the quality of content about museum collections, to select a topic to edit in the live training. In this way, between the online training and the live training, we can encourage employees to work on their own, and at the live training we can already focus on practical work and editing specific articles based on sources independently prepared by the trainees. Based on our previous experience, we also know that engaging employees in editing on Wikipedia is a challenge. Therefore, from the very beginning of our cooperation, we have been trying to show that this involvement can take different forms and does not mean only writing or developing Wikipedia. '''The range of activities offered by Wikimedia projects in GLAM-Wiki collaborations is so wide''' that everyone will find an area of interest that is relevant to their ability to get involved. === The 9th GLAM-Wiki European Coordinators online meet-up === <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="100px"> File:GLAMWIKICSI-basiclogo-2024.webp|GLAMWIKICSI-basiclogo File:Wikimania 2024 logo (wiki old).png|Wikimania 2024 logo File:WikiCoversEvents-logo-v1.png|WikiCoversEvents-logo </gallery> The next, the ninth, meeting of European GLAM Wiki coordinators was held in early April. The meeting began with a presentation by [[:en:Andrew Lih|Andrew Lih]]. Andrew Lih introduced '''the new GLAM Contribution Study Initiative project''', which aims to understand the needs and practices of GLAM partners in participating in Wikimedia projects and identify areas for improvement. By collecting opinions and analysing data, the project seeks to propose solutions that can improve cooperation between heritage entities and Wikimedia. We encourage you to participate '''in the survey''', which aims to gather the experiences and needs of those involved in GLAM-Wiki collaborations, including GLAM staff. The collection of user stories is intended to help comprehensively understand user's experiences, facilitating more empathetic and effective design and planning of evaluation tools for GLAM-Wiki projects. A link to the survey can be found on [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/GLAM_CSI the project's page on meta]]. A presentation of the survey results and collected user stories is planned during '''Wikimania in Katowice''', as well as a brainstorming session on possible solutions and a demonstration of prototyping directions. Another initiative presented by Andrew Lih is '''Wiki Covers Events'''. This is an initiative by the Wikimedia community to share best practices for documenting events (festivals, sporting events, concerts, awards, etc.) and improving content on Wikimedia Commons, Wikidata, Wikipedia and more. More information can be found at [[https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wiki_Covers_Events Wiki Covers Events page on meta]]. The meeting has traditionally been an opportunity for discussion and exchange of experiences among GLAM-Wiki coordinators. The topic of the next meeting, which is scheduled for early June, will be '''AI in the context of GLAM-Wiki cooperation'''. === Presentation on open culture at the Gallery of art Wozownia in Torun === [[File:Otwarta Kultura jako element procesu twórczego artysty tki – praktyczny poradnik jak nawigować po oceanie wolnych multimediów.png|thumb|Title slide of the presentation Open Culture as part of the creative process of the artist.

The purpose of the presentation was to introduce the symposium's participants, largely academics, students, to the potential of using the collection of free multimedia in Wikimedia Commons as part of creative endeavours. During Kamila's presentation, those attending the symposium had the opportunity to learn the ins and outs of using Open Culture resources and the advantages of using free multimedia from Wikimedia Commons. Kamila also focused on inspiring projects and practical navigation tips that will be valuable tools for art students.

In the four editions of the NCK program, a total of 8 people have interned in culture. Agata Stadnicka, who was one of the first interns in Open Culture, has been a Wikipedian in Residence at [[:en:National Museum in Krakow|National Museum in Krakow]] since March this year. Collectively, the interns have completed over 2,500 hours of internships in over a year. As part of their tasks, they collaborated with the Open Culture Manager, Wikipedians in Residence, and partner cultural institutions, engaging in editing Wikimedia projects, such as creating Wikipedia articles and entering metadata into Wikimedia Commons and Wikidata, for example, in the WikiMatejko editing action. They cooperated in developing educational and promotional materials, as well as developing the new GLAM-Wiki website. They helped develop a comprehensive GLAM-Wiki project evaluation system and create evaluation surveys. Additionally, they provided administrative support, including preparing various reports and analyses, and supported the Open Culture Manager in ongoing tasks. Kamila Neuman: ''I am very pleased that for over a year I have had the opportunity to work with young people, developing the area of GLAM-Wiki activities. These are incredibly valuable individuals who bring their perspective to my work and are eager to take on new challenges. I am very grateful to all of them for their contribution and dedication to the development of GLAM-Wiki collaborations; without them, many projects would not have their current shape or would not have been realized at all. This has been a very valuable time for me, full of many hours of joint conversations and online meetings. I wish them all success in their career plans and hope that thanks to their internships at Wikimedia Poland, they will actively promote and support open culture'' Thanks to all the interns: Agata Stadnicka, Zuzanna Ligor, Sebastian Pierścieniak, Veronika Sabara, Agata Zdunek, Hanna Rzepka, Łukasz Cegliński. === Wikipedians in residence meetup === [[File:GLAM basic EN no margins.png|thumb|GLAM-Wiki logo of Wikimedia Poland]] The second online meeting of Wikipedians in Residence this year took place on June 19.

The meetings with Wikipedians in Residence are a space for exchanging knowledge and experiences, as well as establishing common standards of operation within Wikiresidencies. During the June meeting, we analyzed and discussed ways to measure the effects of Wikiresidencies and the tools used for this purpose. The aim of our discussions was to streamline the methodology of data collection and the tools used, as well as to identify necessary functionalities that would help measure specific effects more easily and automatically. We also talked about ways to present the effects of GLAM-Wiki collaborations, particularly in the context of working on the new GLAM-Wiki website. === 10th European GLAM-Wiki coordinators meetup === [[File:AI Sauna imagined by AI.png|thumb|AI Sauna imagined by AI]] [[File:Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía logo.svg|thumb|Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía logo]] [[File:CreativeCommons logo trademark.svg|thumb|CreativeCommons logo trademark]] In June, the tenth meeting of European GLAM-Wiki coordinators took place.

The West Bengal Wikimedians User Group have started the digitization process of the out-of-copyright books in this library. ===Digitisation & Documentation of Cultural Heritage and Literature in Meghalaya=== [[File:Discussions with Hammarsing at Jeebon Roy memorial library, Shillong 01.jpg|thumb|right|Discussions with Hammarsing at Jeebon Roy memorial library, Shillong]] The [https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/CIS-A2K/Events/Meghalaya_visit_for_the_completion_of_second_phase_of_NECTAR_project Digitisation & Documentation of Cultural Heritage and Literature in Meghalaya project] is a collaborative initiative funded by NECTAR and implemented by the Centre for Internet and Society (CIS) in partnership with Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Sohra and the West Bengal Wikimedians User Group (WBG). Launched in January 2023, this initiative aims to digitize and make accessible the rich cultural heritage of Meghalaya's Khasi, Jaintia, and Garo communities. By collaborating with local organizations like the Ramakrishna Mission Ashrama Sohra, Jeebon Roy Memorial Trust Library in Shillong and Vintage Museum in Sohra, the project seeks to ensure that valuable cultural resources—such as manuscripts, books, and audio files—are freely available on Wikimedia platforms. [[File:Wikimedia skill training session at Vivekananda Cultural Centre, Shillong2.jpg|thumb|left|Wikimedia skill training session at Vivekananda Cultural Centre, Shillong]] In an era characterized by rampant misinformation, this project becomes particularly relevant. It aims to produce verifiable and reliable reference materials that enhance the quality of online content. The Wikimedia movement envisions a world where everyone has free access to the sum of all human knowledge. Through projects like Wikipedia, Wikisource, and Wikimedia Commons, it has fostered a global community of volunteers dedicated to this vision. This initiative not only aligns with that mission but also strengthens partnerships with local institutions to document tribal culture accurately. As of September 2024, approximately 20,000 pages have been digitized, with 5,426 pages (41 books) uploaded onto Wikimedia Commons. Out of these 28 rare books are in Khasi language. A total of 337 photos and 25 videos have been documented and shared online. Skill training has been provided to 24 volunteers, enhancing local capacity for ongoing cultural documentation. [[File:Wikimedia session at Vintage library, Sohra.jpg|thumb|right|Wikimedia session at Vintage library, Sohra]] [[File:Scanning in progress at Jeebon Roy Memorial library, Shillong.jpg|thumb|left|Scanning in progress at Jeebon Roy Memorial library, Shillong]] By training local volunteers in digital skills and engaging them in knowledge creation, the project empowers communities to contribute actively to the global knowledge ecosystem. This approach not only preserves cultural heritage but also enriches the collective understanding of diverse cultures worldwide, reinforcing the principles of openness and accessibility central to the open knowledge movement. ====Links==== * [[commons:Category:Books_digitised_under_CIS-A2K_NECTAR_Project|Category:Books digitised under CIS-A2K NECTAR Project]] * [[commons:Category:Media_documentation_under_CIS-A2K_NECTAR_Project|Category:Media documentation under CIS-A2K NECTAR Project]] * [[commons:Commons:CIS_-_Meghalaya|Commons:CIS - Meghalaya]] ====Gallery==== <gallery> File:Behdienkhlam Festival in Jaintia Hills 2.jpg|Behdienkhlam Festival in Jaintia Hills File:Female Khasi dancing in Shad Suk Mynsiem.jpg|Female Khasi dancing in Shad Suk Mynsiem File:Jadoh in a Leaf.jpg|Jadoh in a Leaf File:Khasi Lady in a Kitchen.jpg|Khasi Lady in a Kitchen File:Khasi Traditional attire with a Khoh.jpg|Khasi Traditional attire with a Khoh File:Khoh Ramhah.jpg|Khoh Ramhah File:Liewla Cave.jpg|Liewla Cave </gallery> <br> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=September 2024|August 2024|November 2024}}</noinclude> 2i5ygolp5x0zihotivmb8ofksuspi8r 0 68533 276585 264224 2026-06-03T07:46:45Z 解浪 57622 Fix lint errors 276585 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{:GLAM/Newsletter/September 2024/Header}}</noinclude> {{GLAM/Newsletter/Title|What's up in GLAM-Wiki in Poland|By [[User:Kamila Neuman (WMPL)|Kamila Neuman]]}} === CEE Meeting 2024 === [[File:Wikimedia CEE Meeting 2024 72 - Day 3.jpg|thumb|Kamila Neuman sharing her presentation on Smart GLAM-Wiki Partnerships]] [[File:Smart GLAM-Wiki Partnerships-Learning from Others Mistakes with Limited Resources by Kamila Neuman, CEE Meeting 2024.pdf|thumb|see the presentation]] [[File:Experiment, Fail, Learn-Innovative Strategies for Engaging Partner’s Staff in Wikipedia Editing by Kamila Neuman, CEE Meeting 2024.pdf|thumb|see the presentation]] At the CEE Meeting 2024, Kamila Neuman, Open Culture Manager at Wikimedia Polska, presented the challenges and opportunities related to organizing Wikipedia editing workshops for GLAM staff. In her presentation, titled '''"Experiment, Fail, Learn: Innovative Strategies for Engaging Partner’s Staff in Wikipedia Editing"''' she emphasized that engaging cultural sector staff, despite many barriers (such as lack of time and numerous projects), brings significant benefits. The goal of the presentation was to inspire CEE Meeting participants to develop effective, practical strategies for involving GLAM staff in Wikipedia editing. Kamila Neuman's second presentation at the CEE Meeting 2024, titled '''"Effective GLAM-Wiki Partnerships: Learning from Others' Mistakes with Limited Resources,"''' focused on building successful partnerships even with limited resources by drawing on existing knowledge and the experiences of others. Kamila emphasized that we don't need to "reinvent the wheel" when creating GLAM-Wiki partnerships. Instead, we can benefit from the wealth of experience accumulated within the Wikimedia movement. One of the biggest challenges, however, is navigating the vast amount of available knowledge and best practices. In this context, Kamila shared her most valuable information sources, which have proven useful in her own work. She highlighted the importance of finding relevant materials and adapting them to individual needs. She also encouraged active participation in international meetings, where knowledge and experiences can be exchanged, and support from others can be sought. Sharing one's own insights can help in building better, more effective GLAM-Wiki partnerships.

On September 10th, '''an online meeting of Polish Wikipedians in Residence took place'''. The purpose of these meetings is to exchange knowledge, share experiences, and establish common standards for GLAM-Wiki collaboration. The latest meeting was initiated by Wojtek Szczęsny, who presented simple ways to streamline work within residencies. He also showcased a custom tool he developed that speeds up editing in Wikipedia, Wikidata, and other Wikimedia projects. We discussed important GLAM-related presentations from the recent Wikimania in Katowice and focused on tools for measuring the impact of collaborations, such as the Commons Impact Metrics proposed by the Wikimedia Foundation, which we will be testing soon. During the two-hour meeting, we also reviewed plans for the development of the Wikipedian in Residence program and discussed the ongoing work on the GLAM-Wiki guide, aimed at helping GLAM institutions better understand how to collaborate effectively with volunteers and Wikimedia Polska. We also touched upon the topic of the next meeting, which is planned as an in-person gathering in November this year. <br> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=September 2024|August 2024|October 2024}}</noinclude> 5tiv764g2h3rzzwa1sl9ux8pygq2b71 0 68742 276586 264766 2026-06-03T07:47:55Z 解浪 57622 Fix lint errors 276586 wikitext text/x-wiki <noinclude>{{:GLAM/Newsletter/October 2024/Header}}</noinclude> {{GLAM/Newsletter/Title|What's up in GLAM-Wiki in Poland|By [[User:Kamila Neuman (WMPL)|Kamila Neuman]]}} === Digital Culture Forum === On October 24–25, 2024, the second edition of the Digital Culture Forum took place at the Institute of Urban Culture in Gdańsk under the theme “Technology as a Gamechanger for Culture!”. The event explored the role of technology in the cultural sector. Highlights included talks on artificial intelligence in culture, TikTok as a platform for showcasing heritage attractions, and the challenges of managing intellectual property in cultural institutions. Kamila Neuman, representing Wikimedia Polska, used this opportunity to network and explore new approaches to digital engagement in the cultural and creative sectors. She also participated in a workshop on copyright management, which deepened her understanding of the challenges and needs of cultural institutions in this area. The Digital Culture Forum 2024 provided a valuable space for exchanging experiences and reflecting on the impact of technology on culture. === GLAM-Wiki Training at the Museum of Photography in Krakow === On October 16, 2024, Kamila Neuman, Open Culture Manager at Wikimedia Polska, conducted an introductory GLAM-Wiki workshop for the Museum of Photography in Krakow (MuFo). The session reviewed MuFo's collections already available on Wikimedia projects, such as Walery Rzewuski's photographs and Tadeusz Rząca's unique autochromes of early 20th-century Krakow. The training highlighted the potential of sharing MuFo's collections through open knowledge platforms and offered practical tools for measuring the impact of such actions. Additionally, MuFo staff were invited to join the Wikimedia Academy, an interactive course introducing participants to Wikipedia editing, where they can learn to create and improve articles while connecting with the Wikipedia community. ===Workshop for the Polish History Museum=== On October 19, 2024, Wikimedia Polska conducted a 90-minute online workshop as part of the Polish History Museum's educational project. The initiative aims to popularize Polish history among students and support teachers in humanities education while enhancing participants' digital competencies. The workshop, led by Kamila Neuman and the Wikimedia Polska team, introduced teachers and students to open culture through Wikimedia projects. Participants explored Wikimedia Commons as a source of free and valuable resources for history lessons and received practical tips for finding and using multimedia materials while adhering to licensing requirements. The session also highlighted GLAM-Wiki partnerships, like those with the Wawel Royal Castle and Polona, which enrich Wikimedia Commons with high-quality cultural content. Additionally, the workshop showcased the Wiki Loves Monuments photo contest as an educational tool for teaching local history and engaging students in contributing images of monuments missing from Wikimedia projects. This hands-on session combined theory and interactive exercises, equipping attendees with knowledge and skills to incorporate open culture into their educational practices. ===Visit to the Chełmoński Exhibition and Wikimedia Polska as an Exhibition Partner=== <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="90"> File:Józef Chełmoński - Czajki (Ptaki nad wodą).jpg File:Józef Chełmoński - Noc gwiaździsta.jpg File:J Chełmoński - Czwórka (1880).jpg File:Józef Chełmoński - Bustards - MP 1052 - National Museum in Warsaw.jpg </gallery> Kamila Neuman visited the Warsaw edition of the monographic exhibition of Józef Chełmoński, part of an extensive research and exhibition project organized by the National Museums in Warsaw, Poznań, and Krakow.

The collaboration is already highlighted in the exhibition catalog. Wikimedia Polska is planning initiatives as part of the WikiChełmoński project, in collaboration with the museums hosting the exhibitions. The goal is not only to popularize the artist but also to expand knowledge about the themes and motifs present in his works. Chełmoński's paintings, celebrated for their realistic depictions of rural life, rich portrayals of nature—such as birds and animals—and vivid images of countryside life, offer a unique lens through which to explore Polish culture and natural heritage. ===Update on the GLAM-Wiki Collaboration with the National Library=== <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="100"> File:Flora Sinensis 1656 (2950635) (cropped).jpg|Flora Sinensis 1656 File:Henryk Sienkiewicz post 1892 (53054489) (cropped).jpg|Henryk Sienkiewicz File:Zygmunt Krasinski 1892 (363683) (cropped).jpg|Zygmunt Krasinski File:Adam Mickiewicz 1827 (53794389) (cropped).jpg|Adam Mickiewicz File:Wladyslaw Reymont 1897 (71364799) (cropped).jpg|Władysław Reymont File:Mango - Flora Sinensis 1656 (2950680).jpg|Mango - Flora Sinensis </gallery> In October, Wojtek Szczęsny, the Wikipedian in Residence at the National Library, continued illustrating Wikimedia projects with materials from Polona, adding over 1,300 illustrations, primarily to non-Polish Wikipedia versions, especially the English one. He updated portraits of prominent Polish creators and politicians using high-quality scans from Polona. As a result, biographies of figures like Henryk Sienkiewicz, Józef Ignacy Kraszewski, and Adam Mickiewicz now feature improved illustrations, enhancing their presentation on Wikipedia. Wojtek Szczęsny also uploaded improved scans from the pioneering work Flora Sinensis (1656) by Michał Boym, a Polish 17th-century Jesuit, on the flora of China: [https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Illustrations_from_%22Flora_Sinensis%22_(1656) Flora Sinensis]. ===New Wikiresidency at the Czartoryski Library in Krakow=== [[File:Kraków, ul.

The event brought together coordinators from across Europe to exchange experiences and ideas for advancing GLAM-Wiki collaborations. The workshop aimed to explore ways to scale GLAM-Wiki partnerships by strengthening the role of Wikipedians in Residence (WiR). Participants worked in groups to analyze barriers and opportunities for expanding WiR programs and brainstorm strategies for engaging Wikipedians in Residence. Discussions centered on how WiR programs can support more effective and sustainable collaborations with GLAM institutions while increasing the number of active residents. Although the limited time of the workshop prevented concrete solutions from being developed, it facilitated meaningful discussions and enhanced knowledge sharing. Participants openly exchanged experiences, sharing both successes and challenges, and reflected on future initiatives. The workshop underscored the potential of such meet-ups as platforms for building collective strategies and mutual support within the GLAM-Wiki community. ===First In-Person Meeting of Wikipedians in Residence, November 14–15, 2024=== [[File:WiRs meetup 14-15.11.2024 5 Kamila Neuman Wioletta Matusiak Agata Stadnicka Grzegorz Gogacz Wojciech Szczesny.jpg|thumb|WiRs meetup 14-15.11.2024]] [[File:WiRs meetup 14-15.11.2024 3.jpg|thumb|A visit to the Józef Chełmoński exhibition at the National Museum in Warsaw]] On November 14–15, 2024, a meeting of Wikipedians in Residence took place at the Wikimedia Polska office in Warsaw. The event was attended by [[:pl:User:Redaktor GLAM|Wojciech Szczęsny]] – Wikipedian in Residence at [[:en:the National Library in Warsaw|the National Library in Warsaw]], [[:pl:User:Cyfrowabiblioteka|Grzegorz Gogacz]] – Wikipedian in Residence at [[:en:Warsaw Public Library – Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship|the Warsaw Public Library – Central Library of the Masovian Voivodeship]], and [[:pl:User:MNK_Agata|Agata Stadnicka]] – Wikipedian in Residence at the Czartoryski Library of [[:en:National Museum in Kraków|the National Museum in Krakow]]. Representing Wikimedia Polska were Kamila Neuman, Open Culture Manager, and Wioletta Matusiak, Education and Development Manager, who facilitated the meeting. This was the first in-person meeting of the year, providing an opportunity to discuss ongoing activities, exchange experiences, and strengthen collaboration. Until now, Wikipedians in Residence have only met online – a total of ten virtual meetings have been held. This in-person gathering allowed participants to get to know each other better, gain a deeper understanding of their work, and discuss future initiatives together. These were two very intensive days, during which we also had the chance to learn about Wojciech Szczęsny's workflow. Wojciech presented tools he developed to optimize and accelerate editing activities within Wikimedia projects, which proved both inspiring and practical for all participants. During the meeting, there was also time for integration aligned with our common interests – participants visited the [[:en:Jozef Chełmonski|Józef Chełmoński]] exhibition at the National Museum in Warsaw. This was a particularly valuable experience, as in 2025, we plan activities related to exhibitions dedicated to Chełmoński at [[:en:National Museum in Poznan|National Museum in Poznań]] and Krakow. The meeting also resulted in a concrete action – by the end of November, we collaboratively prepared and submitted an application for a mobility grant to Italy, with Wikimedia Italy as the project partner. Through this initiative, we aim to learn about the functioning of GLAM-Wiki projects in Italy and visit local GLAM institutions to better understand their collaboration models. This is an example of how in-person meetings can lead to specific initiatives that contribute to the development of our GLAM-Wiki projects. === High-Quality Portraits of Polish Monarchs on Wikipedia: Digital Treasures from POLONA === <gallery mode="packed-hover" heights="100"> File:Dobrawa (274945).jpg|Dobrawa File:Boleslaw I Chrobry (274954).jpg|Boleslaw I Chrobry File:Mieszko I (274939) (cropped).jpg|Mieszko I File:Jan III Sobieski (275311).jpg|Jan III Sobieski File:Anna Jagiellonka (275264).jpg|Anna Jagiellonka </gallery> The Kings and Dukes of Poland by [[:en:Jan Matejko|Jan Matejko]] is one of the most renowned works depicting Polish rulers. Particularly popular are the portraits of monarchs from the Piast dynasty, whose original likenesses have not survived. For many Poles, figures such as Mieszko I or Bolesław Chrobry are almost synonymous with Matejko’s illustrations. Until recently, the scans of Matejko's drawings used on Wikipedia were of low quality – both in resolution and color fidelity, which often diverged from the original. Wojtek Szczęsny, serving as Wikipedian in Residence at the National Library, undertook efforts to enhance these materials: *He acquired high-quality scans from the first book edition of The Kings and Dukes of Poland from around 1893, available in the Polona digital library. *He enriched the collection with colored versions of the portraits created by Leonard Stroynowski and Zygmunt Papieski, sourced from postcards dating back to the interwar period. Thanks to Wojtek Szczęsny's efforts: *High-quality scans have replaced the previous images not only on the Polish Wikipedia but also across 86 language versions of Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects. *The portraits of Polish rulers are now used in approximately 2,700 locations on 1,600 pages. *Every month, these 80 scans of monarch portraits receive about 2.7 million views, allowing Wikipedia users worldwide to access faithful reproductions of Polish rulers' portraits. Lists of Polish kings and dukes, as well as biographies of rulers, are present even in less popular language versions of Wikipedia. This highlights the importance of providing top-quality content that not only promotes Polish culture and history but also enriches global knowledge about our heritage. Through Wojtek Szczęsny’s dedication, The Kings and Dukes of Poland by Jan Matejko has gained new life in the digital world, reaching millions of viewers around the globe.

This will culminate in a [[w:Wikipedia:GLAM/Kaikōura/Wiki Weekend|Wiki Weekend]] on 7–8 March where Wikipedians from around the country will visit to work on articles together and document the town for Commons. The project started after a visit to the Kaikōura Museum as a tourist in October 2024; Giantflightlessbirds arranged with the museum manager to return in July 2025 to give a public talk on Wikipedia and run a workshop explaining Wikipedia and Commons to local heritage and tourism operators. The District Council have agreed to make available a sizeable library of professional tourism photography under an open licence, and the museum will be arranging the upload of a large collection of out-of-copyright historical photos, as well as helping clear the copyright of some local-history books for Wikisource. <gallery mode="packed" caption="MacDiarmid Institute staff and researchers at the Auckland symposium photo shoot"> File:Pauline Harris 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 047.jpg|Pauline Harris File:Geoff Willmott 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 090.jpg|Geoff Wilmott File:Jackson Miller 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 060.jpg|Jackson Miller File:Erin Leitao 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 053.jpg|Erin Leitao File:Shanghai Wei 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 081.jpg|Shanghai Wei File:Vanessa Young 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 105.jpg|Vanessa Young File:Volker Nock 20251127 MacDiarmid Institute 067.jpg|Volker Nock </gallery> An ongoing project with the '''[[w:MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology|MacDiarmid Institute for Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology]]''' has been focussed on creating good Wikidata profiles and open-licensed photos of the main researchers. Giantflightlessbirds attended the MacDiarmid Institute Annual Symposium in Auckland in November 2025 and gave two talks on Wikipedia, one to the entire Institute and one to early-career researchers. He then organised a photo-shoot of PhD students, while the event photographer shot dozens of portraits of researchers, and both image collections were uploaded to Commons. The Institute is supplying numerous other photos from its image library under an open licence. The next stage of the project will be inviting selected researchers to give feedback on Wikipedia articles on their field of study, pointing out gaps on the Talk page and supplying up-to-date references. The ultimate goal of this collaboration is to demonstrate to research organisations how they increase the public impact of their research and work with Wikimedia platforms by using appropriate licensing and partnering with the editing community. [[File:Maungakiekie One Tree Hill in 2008 02 (cropped).jpg|thumb|17th-century terraces of [[w:Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill|Maungakiekie / One Tree Hill]]]] The '''[[w:Wikipedia:GLAM/Archaeology Aotearoa|Aotearoa Archaeology]]''' project started at the end of January, funded by Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand and hosted for a day a week at Underground Overground Archaeology in Christchurch. The coverage of New Zealand archaeology in Wikipedia and Commons is extremely poor; much of the project will be an education campaign for the archaeology community, ending with a presentation or workshop at the national Archaeology Association conference in June. There is a large "grey literature" of archaeology reports that are difficult to find and cite, numerous photo collections under All Rights Reserved copyright, and almost no citation of the key works of New Zealand archaeology in Wikipedia. Giantflightlessbirds will be improving a series of articles on the leading lights of Aotearoa archaeology as a demonstration, but will also be working with a selection of early-career researchers to show them the importance on ORCID, Wikidata, open-access publication, and making photographic documentation of excavations available in Commons.

The uploaded collection includes over 60 historical photographs from the studios of Walery Rzewuski and Awit Szubert, among other 19th- and early 20th-century photographers. The images primarily depict portraits of notable figures, including politicians, actors, and painters, offering valuable material for illustrating biographies and enriching structured data. The hands-on session focused on practical ways of working with the collection: illustrating Wikipedia articles and enriching Wikidata entries.

The [[m:Free Knowledge Africa|Free Knowledge Africa]]'s Commons Upload campaign brought together 51 volunteers who supported our belief that African heritage belongs on the world stage, freely accessible to researchers, educators and curious minds everywhere. This Campaign was painstaking, but purposeful, as we carefully cropped out individual images from previously digitised Nigerian newspapers and uploaded them to Wikimedia Commons as standalone files. This campaign resulted in over [[commons:Category:PD_Nigeria_-_Images|2,000 new images]] now part of the global open knowledge commons. Some of the Interesting images found within the pages of these historical newspapers <gallery mode=packed heights=150px> File:1954 ADVERTISEMENT ON MENTHOLATUM.png|A 1954 Advertisement of Mentholatum File:Advertisement for Broadway chemists.png|An Advertisement for Broadway Chemist File:A 1948 Advertisement of Cinemas.jpg|A 1948 Cinema schedule File:A 1948 badge of competition for Nigerian Youth Movement.png|A 1948 Badge Competition for the Nigerian Youth Movement </gallery> These illustrations give us a peek into the everyday life of the average Nigerian in the 1950s. This campaign also underscores that digitisation alone does not make cultural heritage discoverable. Historical illustrations and images buried inside these newspaper scans remain invisible to anyone who isn't already looking for them. By extracting these images, we have transformed raw digitised data into usable, shareable stories and resources, increasing the visibility of these visual heritage on Wikimedia platforms. <br> <noinclude>{{GLAM/Newsletter/Comments|month=April 2026|October 2025}}</noinclude> kefmeb7pqqrs7zr3whaqj8ns391tkwe 0 72683 276596 2026-06-03T11:56:26Z Velkovski.b 51311 Created page with "<noinclude>{{:GLAM/Newsletter/{{subst::GLAM/Newsletter/Newsroom/Next}}/Header}}</noinclude> {{GLAM/Newsletter/Title| Wikimedia MKD Shares GLAM Experience at International Conferences |By [[User:{{subst:REVISIONUSER}}|]]}} During the past period, Wikimedia MKD continued to actively promote the exchange of knowledge and experiences in the field of GLAM cooperation at the international level.

Through participation in two important Wikimedia conferences, representatives of the organization presented successful practices, projects, and partnerships developed with cultural institutions in Macedonia. These presentations provided an opportunity to showcase the achievements of Wikimedia MKD, strengthen international cooperation, and contribute to discussions on the future development of GLAM initiatives within the Wikimedia movement. ==Wikilive 2026== From 16 to 17 May 2026, the jubilee tenth edition of the regional [[:sr:Википедија:Викилајв 2026| WikiLive conference]] was held in Belgrade, gathering members of Wikimedia communities, representatives of Wikimedia organizations, editors, and supporters of free knowledge from across the region. The conference program included lectures, workshops, and discussions dedicated to the future of Wikipedia, artificial intelligence, educational programs, and GLAM activities. Wikimedia MKD was represented by Orce Nineski, Coordinator for Cooperation with Cultural Institutions, who presented the organization’s GLAM activities and collaborations with museums, libraries, archives, and other cultural institutions in Macedonia. During his presentation, he highlighted the importance of digitization and free access to cultural heritage, emphasizing how cooperation between Wikimedia MKD and cultural institutions contributes to preserving and promoting Macedonian culture through free knowledge platforms. Nineski also presented several successful projects and activities through which photographs, documents, and various historical and cultural materials were uploaded to Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons. These activities help make Macedonian cultural heritage more accessible both to the local public and to the international Wikimedia community. His presentation attracted interest among participants, especially because of the practical examples of successful institutional partnerships and the opportunities for developing new regional GLAM collaborations in the future. The conference concluded with discussions about the future development of the Wikimedia movement and regional cooperation, once again confirming the importance of sharing experiences and strengthening connections between Wikimedia communities in the region.
