Abstract

edit

Many of the contests in Wikimedia Projects are Wiki Loves X series on Wikimedia Commons or simple edit-a-thons on Wikipedia. We have some varieties of competitions to spice up the competitive spirit in volunteers.

Description

edit

Competitions may help introduce Wikimedia projects to beginners. Most contest formats are Wiki Loves X photo contests or edit-a-thons on Wikipedia. These formats may only garner attention from specific user profiles- photographers, writers, or academicians. We need to expand from our previous user profiles to achieve diverse user backgrounds to ensure movement sustainability.

Wikimedia Indonesia organized competitions targeting every person’s background, from voiceover talent during the Spoken Wikipedia contest to book writers on Wikibooks competitions. The contests also can be used to bond community members or create new projects so they can be more sustainable. Sometimes, the results are better than expected and sometimes could be better. We will explain all the varieties, so you don’t need to experiment like us.
