Overall progress
Wikimedia Norge is on track with our 4 programs:
- Program Supporting communities
- Program Program Closing content gaps
- Program Program Building diverse communities
- Program Program Raising awareness of free, trusted knowledge
In our work with volunteers we have a set of traditional ways of giving support that are appreciated by the volunteer communities. During the next 6 months, we will do a social media campaign as an effort increse the number of members.
For the last 6 months, we have worked on scoping the Sami project, and changed the focus from articles and editors to making Sami content available online. We realized we needed a to start with making content available and that we need to take our time to build alliances and partnerships with Sami communities. A great asset and approach is to include our already established Glam partners in this work and concentrate on making Sami cultural heritage available online. 2019 being the Year of Indigenous languages gives us great momentum to push the Sami project forward both on a national and international level. We are very excited to be one of two institutions in Norway recognized as a civil society partner in the work on the Year of Indigenous languages by UNESCO. The other institution is The Sami parliament in Norway.
An International Year is an important cooperation mechanism dedicated to raising awareness of a particular topic or theme of global interest or concern, and mobilizing different players for coordinated action around the world. In 2016, the United Nations General Assembly adopted a resolution proclaiming 2019 as the International Year of Indigenous Languages, based on a recommendation by the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues. At the time, the Forum said that 40 per cent of the estimated 6,700 languages spoken around the world were in danger of disappearing. The fact that most of these are indigenous languages puts the cultures and knowledge systems to which they belong at risk.
Over the last 6 months we have been establishing a Women in Red project with both the Oslo Metropolitan University and The National Library as partners. This is a result of WMNO’s strategy of diversity approach in all projects we do.
Our education manager Jorid Martinsen is leaving WMNO April 1. We are very sorry to see her leave, but at the same time excited that Åsa Paaske Gulbrandsen will take over the position starting April 1, but with the title diversity manager. Gulbrandsen has worked for Wikimedia Norge before in 2015–2016 and has a lot of experience working with gender gap projects in the cultural sector as well with marginalized groups both in Norway and Latin America.
We are on track with our spendings (percentage spend to date is 58 %) and have managed to diversify and increase our funding over the last 6 months.

Status
[edit]We have found a set of ways to give community support twice a year (wiki grants, The Wikipedia Library / access) or on an ongoing basis (press accreditations, drone project and Wikidata workshops). There are a few changes we have been discussing with volunteers. These include WMNO staff being more involved in the wiki meetups at The House of literature in Oslo. WMNO will take on all the organizing, but a group of volunteers will be involved in deciding who to invite as a speaker to the meet up. This is usually an academic speaking about Wikipedia in light of hers or his academic field for 30–40 minutes.
The weekly editing contest have less participants than before, and the community have decided to shift to monthly editing contests. WMNO have requested that Women in Red resources can be a part of the contest in March about biographies and have also suggested that culture heritage (Wiki Loves Monuments) will be the theme for September 2019 and Sami history for October 2019. WMNO will provide prizes for the monthly contests.
Inspired by Wikimedia Sverige, we will have a social media membership recruitment campaign during 2019, The faces of Wikimedia, where we show the various people who are engaged in Wikimedia Norge, and their motivation for doing so. We have asked for photos and statements from various volunteers and partners, and we are excited to see if how the campaign will be received.
Highlight: Wikidata workshops
We held another Wikidata workshop in November 2018 at Samisk Hus in Oslo, attended by 10 experienced Wikipedians with varying levels of Wikidata experience. The workshop followed the same formula as our two previous Wikidata workshops in 2017 and 2018, because we have received positive feedback on those, with some new material. One of the attendees was Alicia Fagerving from Wikimedia Sverige, who used it as inspiration for a similar event in Stockholm a month later. In addition to this, we have held one closed workshop for a few National Library employees, with another one being planned for the next few weeks.
The first challenge in a collaboration between a cultural institutions and Wikimedia affiliates and volunteer communities are often the encounter with staff at the cultural institution itself. Many professionals are skeptical about volunteers being involved in this kind of work. They fear poor quality and may think it is difficult to let go of control. A change of attitude is often required within the institutions. Trust have to be built within the institution to the volunteer community. Events where both staff and volunteers can meet, get to know each other and share ideas and thoughts are important. Starting with small projects may be advisable.

Progress
[edit]We are on track with this program and don’t expect any changes or modifications to the program over the next 6 months. The different kind of community support we give have been the same over the past 2 years. This is support we will continue to offer over the next years as well. One thing that we will make some changes to is the wiki meetups at The House of Literature in Oslo which takes place 3–4 times a year. This is described above.

[edit]The project is a collaboration between Wikimedia Norge, the National Archives of Norway and Wikimedia Armenia, and financed by The Arts Council Norway. The first project period was January–September 2018. A second project period is from February 2019–November 2019 and will be a continued collaboration with The National Archives of Norway and Wikimedia Armenia funded by The Arts Council. In December, new funding was secured for the project. The second phase of the project will be about transcribing letters Biørn wrote from her stay in the Ottoman empire that will be uploaded to Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource.
The project was presented at the GLAM-WIKI Conference (conference submission) together with Wikimedia Armenia in Tel Aviv, Israel, November 2018 and at the 15th Image and Research International Conference (paper accepted and presented at the conference) together with The National Archives in Girona, Spain, 21–23 November. WMNO is very excited about the photo book in Armenian, Norwegian and English Wikimedia Armenia have worked hard to get published. For WMNO it will be great to give an example of the book to both The National Archives and The Arts Council so they can have an example of how collections shared under a free license on Wikimedia projects also can be used outside the Wikimedia projects. The project page can be seen here.
"In the footsteps of Bodil Biørn from Norway to Armenia" photo book, with almost all photos taken by Biørn, will be a way to speak out about our successful cross-chapter collaboration with Wikimedia Norway and GLAM projects in general. We believe that with this book we will be able to materialize the result and best practices of the collaboration and express gratitude to all parties involved.

We are trying out a narrower focus in our education project because of trainings and talks with Oslo Metropolitan University. In December 2018, Oslo Metropolitan University hired three students from Library and Information Science to be Wikipedia-assistants - meaning that they will help the institution to in sharing knowledge from their fields of expertise at Wikipedia. This is a new way of addressing Wikipedia editing in a Norwegian context. This was one of the methods Oslo Metropolitan University came up with for improving on knowledge sharing after we had an introduction course for the communication staff there in June 2018. We have had editing training with the student assistants, and we have made sure to inform the active editing community well about the intention of the project. We are excited to see how Oslo Metropolitan University is proving to be a strong partner with willingness to test new approaches to Wikimedia+Academia collaborations.
We are also continuing our intern program welcoming student interns from Library and Information Science Oslo Metropolitan University 2 times a year. The current intern will be focusing on motivation for Gender Gap collaborations, and will conduct interviews with persons who have worked with improving female representation amongst editors or adding more content from women on the Wikimedia projects. The student intern program has been a great way for us to introduce future librarians and information knowledge workers to collaborative writing and the ideas of the Wikimedia movement, and several of them have later become great assets to us as volunteers and Wikipedia trainers.
Highlight: Collaboration with The National Library / Women in Red
The ongoing work on how to include more content from The National Library’s digital collection on female authors on Wikimedia projects is currently half way into the project period. We have decided to focus on female authors whose work has become public domain the last decade. Both because this gives us the possibility to share content on several Wikimedia projects at the same time, and addition it is a method of highlighting authorships that there is little public knowledge of today. The main activities so far have been adding content about and from these authors to Wikidata, Wikimedia Commons and Wikisource, in addition to Wikipedia.
An important part of the work at The National Library is also encouraging the sharing of digital resources under free licenses, and inspiring the institution to do more work related to this. The project period will end i March 2018, and by then we also hope to have come up with methods for structuring this type of work in the future. More information on the project can be found here.
We have also signed an agreement with Språkbanken – a department of the National Library that is building a corpus of texts in the languages of Norway for linguistic, research and language technology purposes – to provide them with plain-text copies of the Wikipedias in Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk and Northern Sami. The latest official plain-text dumps of these Wikipedias are more than 10 years old, so we have to make a script to scrape the content in order to provide up-to-date dumps. Besides this, we are restarting a bot that was used to upload thousands of images in the past, and are hoping to use it to upload not only images, but also a collection of folk music, to Commons in the summer (as long as we can clear copyright questions).
Another good outcome of the National Library collaboration has been learning more about work they are doing that isn't well-publicized. For instance, we have learned that they're working on a work register – currently their bibliographical data is based on editions, but works and editions should ideally be separated on Wikidata, and when their work register is up and running officially, it will be a great foundation on which to base future Wikidata imports of bibliographical data. The National Library of Norway is also a pioneer when it comes to IIIF adoption – practically all digitized works have IIIF manifests, which can be added to Wikidata, and hopefully be leveraged in even more ways in the future.
We have also explored the possibility of adding old musical records that the National Library has digitized onto Wikimedia Commons, but unfortunately the rights situation for this turned out to be too complicated for us to be able to do anything impactful. The metadata for the records is lacking in many areas, and industry-wide deals ("treaties") further complicate the matter, so we decided to turn our attention elsewhere.
The collaboration between Wikimedia Norge and The National Library of Norway make our resources available at multiple platforms and opens people’s eyes to The National Library as a source of knowledge.
— Vidar Iversen, Head of department for Reference and Information Services, The National Library of Norway
Progress
[edit]We are on track with this program. The work done together with volunteers on content creation will continue over the next years. The highlights here are online editing contests, Wiki Loves Monuments, both the photo and editing contest, and applying for press accreditation for Commons photographers. We have some new targets on the Sami project that is on track. Comments on the target: Establish a joint multi-year program for university interns together with a higher education institution and a Glam partner, are under the program Building diverse communities. We may not achieve the target of training two volunteer leaders to have the skills to do Wikipedia editing sessions at higher education institutions because of a change in staff. It that happens, we will continue the work on this the next APG year as well.

[edit]This program sets the overarching theme for all our work. The change from 1 April 2019 from a 30 % positions as education manager to a 30 % position as diversity manager will strength this. We are currently working on applications for national funding. A lot of the work with the Sami project is to continue building a network and trust in Sami communities. The Sami House in Oslo has been a very important partner in this work. The overspending in our travel budget reflects the travels we have undertaken to the northern part of Norway and Sami institutions there. We are considering options for more closely working with other projects that support indigenous language Wikipedias. Even though the projects are spread around the world, many challenges and opportunities are the same and the projects could give each other support. The new diversity manager speaks Spanish fluently, so that gives us some new opportunities in working more closely with indigenous groups in Latin America.
Together with The National Library of Norway and Oslo Metropolitan University, we have several ongoing collaborations connected to Women in Red (Women in Red project page). The National Library has large collections of sources and systematic organized data about female authors, photographers and artist, and we contribute to the use of these sources on various Wikimedia projects. We have had a close collaboration with Oslo Metropolitan University over several years, and in 2018 we have expanded this partnership to include Women in Red. Together with The National Library we offer Women in Red projects to students as a part of an elective subject on project planning. Here the students can learn more about how to use The National Library’s sources on Wikipedia and its sister projects. The students have been given support from Wikimedia Norge staff and by a paid librarian from University of Oslo who is a very active contributor to the wiki projects. To involve this person was a suggestion from Wikimedia Norge to make sure the workload of supervising the students was not on Wikimedia Norge alone.
As librarian students, being part of a Wikipedia project has been an educational process. From the selection process of creating lists and choosing candidates ("red women"), and then the technical issue of how to navigate the Wikipedia world. Sources are important, and as librarians we need to be well-prepared to do a good job as Wikipedia contributors. For us, the red link project has been a good starting point.

Since 2015 we have had a successful collaboration with The Nobel Peace Centre in Oslo with #wikinobel and global writing collaborations on content about Nobel Peace Prize Laureates. In 2018, we wanted to test a new approach to this collaboration, with a targeted theme: women in peace work. It is important for us to bring the diversity angle into existing partnerships. We chose to have an event at The Nobel Peace Centre about female peace and human rights activist, followed by an edit-a-thon on this topic. We also had The Swedish Embassy to Norway as an organizational partner, because of the successful WikiGap event in March 2018 with the same topic.
Highlight: The Sami project
The Sami project is moving along nicely. We are gaining more momentum and more institutional partners. 2019 is the UNESCO International Year of Indigenous Languages, and we have been approved as a Civil Society Partner for the year. As part of this, we are organizing the intornational Uralic language contest 2019 in partnership with Wikimedians of Erzya language User Group, Wikimedia RU and the Uralic Centre for Indigenous Peoples. The goal of the contest is increasing coverage of indigenous Uralic languages and peoples across all Wikipedias (but mainly focused on Wikipedias in those languages themselves and the majority languages of the countries they're spoken in).
I commend the efforts by Wikimedia Norge to raise awareness of Sámi and many other Uralic languages - including such endangered languages like Livonian, Khanty, Nganasan and Selkup, via the Uralic language contest 2019. It is also substantive contribution to the International Year of Indigenous Language 2019 that will have a long-lasting effect.
— Oliver Loode, URALIC Centre for Indigenous Peoples
We held a workshop for freeing digital Sami content in January, establishing a working group with representatives from the National Library of Norway, the National Archive of Norway, the Sami Archive, the Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate, the Norwegian Directorate for Cultural Heritage and the Norwegian Museum of Cultural History. These institutions/organizations have a lot of Sami related digital material, and the working group aims to make it more accessible by adding what we can to the Wikimedia projects. This is a good example of leveraging existing partnerships and connections for new areas – most of these institutions are ones we've already established a relationship with in other areas – and the working group is bringing several different partners together under one umbrella, establishing new connections not just for us, but for all its participants. The working group will have another meeting later in February.
We participated in the Sami Language Conference in Tromsø. Project page on wiki and on phabricator.
The IY2019 aims to draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous languages and the urgent need to preserve, revitalize and promote, and take further urgent steps at the national and international levels. Thus, Media Organizations are a major stakeholder in echoing and engaging worldwide for languages matter for social, economic and political development, peace building and reconciliation.

[edit]Wikimedia Norge has over the past years engaged in different international partnerships like with NetBlocks, Whose Knowledge?, URALIC Centre for Indigenous Peoples, UNESCO and the International Year of Indigenous Languages. As a small organization these international partnerships, togehter with our national partnerships, are essential in our work and the reach we can have in working for knowledge equity.
The WMUK conference Celtic Knot has been an important conference for us to attend and learn about the work done on Welsh and Gaelic Wikipedia. We were part of Oslo Freedom Forum with a Wikimedia Norge event in 2018 and are excited we will continue this partnership in 2019. The Oslo Freedom Forum team is in Oslo for a couple of days in February and this gives us a chance to plan for this year’s event and consider options for doing an International Year of Indigenous Languages event at Oslo Freedom Forum in May.

Highlight: Science Days by The Research Council (Forskningsdagene), September 2019
For the third year in a row we participated in the annual Researchers' Days organized by The Research Council of Norway, and organized a panel talk. The topic for the event in 2017 was writing women back into history, and we decided that this year's event also would have a gender gap theme as basis for the panel talk. We chose the topic “How to make the work of women in Arts and Culture more visible”, and put together a panel of people who all have used different methods to do this – and framed it within the Wikimedia movement’s goal to have more diverse content on its projects. The panelists are women we know from other projects we have done and wanted to involve more in our work by inviting them to take part at this event. The panel consisted of Hilde Blix, researcher at The University of Tromsø, Guro Kleveland from the project The Art of Balance (Balansekunst), and Maria Fosheim Lund from The National Library of Norway/Nordic Women in Film. The talk was led by Jorid Martinsen from WMNO. Stream from the event can be found here.
What can we do to make the contributions of women to art and culture have as much room in the public eye as that of men? We invite organizations and people who have worked on this subject to talk about why it's important to take hold of this work, to share the best methods, and especially to inspire action.

Resources
[edit]Resources to plan for measurement
[edit]- Global metrics are an important starting point for grantees when it comes to measuring programmatic impact (Learning Patterns and Tutorial) but don’t stop there.
- Logic Models provide a framework for mapping your pathway to impact through the cause and effect chain from inputs to outputs to outcomes. Develop a logic model to map out your theory of change and determine the metrics and measures for your programs.
- Importantly, both qualitative and quantitative measures are important so consider both as you determine measures for your evaluation and be sure to ask the right questions to be sure to capture your program stories.
