Name of Organization: Wikimedia Australia Inc
Title of Proposal: Wikimedia Australia 2022 - 2025

Part 1 Understanding your work

1. Briefly describe how your proposed activities and strategies were implemented.

Across our three strategic pillars of Engagement, Equity and Inclusion, Capacity Building, we ran 72 events, created new content for our website, and further engaged with the community through expanding our social media presence.

Through Partner Projects and targeted editing events we’ve been able to extend our reach, increase representation and increase Australian content on a range of Wiki platforms. Collaboration with large organisations and identifying key partners for long-term opportunities is proving beneficial.

Relationships have been strengthened through hosting the ESEAP conference in Sydney, and participating in the ESEAP Interim Hub and Community meetings, as well as regional conferences (Wikimania, WikidataCon, etc).

One area we are still establishing is how WMAU can better support and engage with First Nations editors, communities and content. Our original idea to establish a First Nations Reference Group was difficult to achieve and more complex than anticipated due to many factors (lack of existing relationships, timing, First Nations engagement capacity). It became clear that we needed to find out more about First Nations editors' experiences online when using Wikimedia projects, leading us to undertake First Nations Focus Groups with Professor Bronwyn Carlson from Macquarie University. The outcomes from the Focus Groups (complete late 2023) will give us an evidence base for informed-decision making.

WMAU has facilitated and provided additional support to three Wikipedians-in-Residence throughout 2022/23, including Australian music through The Record project, our First Nations WiR at State Library of Queensland, and the APO First Nations WiR.

2. Were there any strategies or approaches that you felt were effective in achieving your goals?

We advertised an Expression Of Interest (EOI) for Partner Projects that, once filled, has allowed us to extend our reach across a range of organisations and connect with new expertise, including Universities, a Museum and a regional council. By ensuring that Partner Projects aligned with our strategic plan around equity and inclusion we have been able to provide learning opportunities for our partners, while expanding content in under-represented areas on the Wikimedia platforms. For projects to be successful it is highly beneficial for the partner organisation to have a Wikimedia project leader or core staff member who is fully supportive and engaged in the open knowledge movement. The outcomes and goals are far more likely to be achieved when the partner is not ‘starting from scratch’.

Partnerships and projects with major partners have included ACMI, National Gallery of Australia, State Library of Queensland, Jumbunna Institute, University of Divinity, Shire of Paroo Council, Queensland University of Technology, University of Technology Sydney, RMIT and University of Sydney.

By keeping our community informed through multiple platforms (website, newsletter, social media), we were able to engage with new and existing community members and partners, who supported us in achieving our goals.

3. Would you say that your project had any innovations? Are there things that you did very differently than you have seen them done by others?

We launched a monthly newsletter that is available for everyone to sign up to and receive. Previously we have had a members only fortnightly newsletter sent on our members mailing list, but we needed something for non-members or people new to the movement. The newsletter is also published as a blog post on our website and shared on social media so it gains extra reach.

During the WOW 2022 and ESEAP 2022 conferences, our staff documented events by photographing and live-Tweeting the entirety of both conferences. This included sharing links to the projects discussed in presentations, and meant attendees were able to share their participation with their communities, and made reporting later easy as we could refer to Twitter. We then edited and uploaded all presentations to our YouTube channel and shared them again.

4. Please describe how different communities participated and/or were informed about your work.

Communities were informed about our work and events through our social media (Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Mastodon), newsletters, members mailing list, website listings, and these being further shared by our partners.

They participated online and in person, with events held in almost every state or major city. Others participated outside of our regular programming by viewing training resources we provided on our website and YouTube channel.

Our monthly Community Meetings allowed the community to share their work and discussion, and video recordings of presentations were shared to our YouTube channels. We had attendees from across the ESEAP region due to the convenient time zone.

5. Documentation of your impact. Please use the two spaces below to share files and links that help tell your story and impact. This can be documentation that shows your results through testimonies, videos, sound files, images (photos and infographics, etc.) social media posts, dashboards, etc.

6. To what extent do you agree with the following statements regarding the work carried out with the support of this Fund? You can choose “not applicable” if your work does not relate to these goals.

Our efforts during the Fund period have helped to...
A. Bring in participants from underrepresented groups	Agree
B. Create a more inclusive and connected culture in our community	Agree
C. Develop content about underrepresented topics/groups	Agree
D. Develop content from underrepresented perspectives	Agree
E. Encourage the retention of editors	Agree
F. Encourage the retention of organizers	Agree
G. Increased participants' feelings of belonging and connection to the movement.	Strongly agree

7. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your efforts helped to bring in participants and/or build out content, particularly for underrepresented groups?

Running training workshops around including more women in editing Wikipedia, and creating or improving content related to women on Wikipedia, has continued to be an important part of our calendar, with several annual events scheduled each March in particular.

This included publishing the More Than A Day video tutorial series with Franklin Women, hosted by Caddie Brain.

We received feedback from participants of multiple underrepresented groups that Wikipedia wasn’t always welcoming, and that some contributors found using the website was a hostile experience, with their contributions dismissed.

This was particularly a problem when introducing First Nations groups to Wikipedia, as they could very quickly have a negative experience. Differing cultural understanding of what was appropriate to share on Wikipedia was one example, with colonial bias also mentioned due to some of the references relied upon. Although we emphasised that anyone can edit Wikipedia, and bad references could be changed to better ones, their individual experience showed there was often pushback to this.

We are working to document these experiences, as we hope the wider Wikimedia community can learn from this and become a more welcoming place moving forward.

Part 2: Your main learning

8. In your application, you outlined your learning priorities. What did you learn about these areas during this period?

We outlined the need to learn why our community were interested in contributing to the movement, and found that the majority of people attending our events for the first time were interested in learning new skills, and are motivated to share their topic of interest or to grow representation around underrepresented groups such as women or First Nations people on Wikipedia.

We haven’t gathered enough information from participants to know their full story, but by chatting informally with participants, they have shared their personal experiences and motivations. We have also gathered anecdotal feedback that many of the supporting training resources (guides, videos, handouts, etc) are valuable resources that assist new participants to continue editing after an Introductory workshop.

We have gathered additional statistics about Australian wide participation on Wikipedia showing the majority contribute without engaging with us at all, so we believe that our role is more as a training, information, and funding level of most peoples experience.

9. Did anything unexpected or surprising happen when implementing your activities?

We scheduled many Drop-In and Editing sessions which sometimes had good levels of participation and other times no one attended. We also developed a workshop specifically for First Nations people however it had very low attendance. We now understand that this may have been due to us announcing we were recording the session for sharing on YouTube.

10. How do you hope to use this learning? For instance, do you have any new priorities, ideas for activities, or goals for the future?

Now that we have established that we have approx 2000 active editors in Australia we are looking at how we can identify their needs to engage and support them. This is a challenge as we find many people won’t respond to surveys, and if we use geo-banners they may have turned this feature off.

WMAU staff are looking to attend the Let’s Connect workshops on retaining volunteers and new editors either online (however time zones often exclude us) or at Wikimania in August 2023.

11. If you were sitting with a friend to tell them one thing about your work during this fund, what would it be (think of inspiring or fascinating moments, tough challenges, interesting anecdotes, or anything that feels important to you)?

We are incredibly proud of achieving a significant proportion of our budgeted program in the face of many changes and competing priorities, including changes of staff, coordinating the successful ESEAP conference in Sydney and completion of an Arts Council grant for The Record project. We did this by pivoting to development partnerships with multiple organisations, ACMI, University of Divinity, Franklin Women, Shire of Paroo, and QUT. For the Wikidata fellowships we worked with Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand User Group. These projects developed content, skills and increased the visibility of traditionally under-represented groups on Wikipedia and other Wikimedia platforms. For the Wikidata fellowships we worked with Wikimedia Aotearoa New Zealand User Group.

12. Please share resources that would be useful to share with other Wikimedia organizations so that they can learn from, adapt or build upon your work. For instance, guides, training material, presentations, work processes, or any other material the team has created to document and transfer knowledge about your work and can be useful for others. Please share any specific resources that you are creating, adapting/contextualizing in ways that are unique to your context (i.e. training material).

N/A
N/A

17a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Peer to peer learning with other community members in conferences/events, Peer to peer learning with other community members (but that is not continuous or structured), Other

17b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build capacities? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Lack of staff time to participate in capacity building/training, Lack of volunteer time to participate in capacity building/training, Other

18. Is there anything else you would like to share about how your organizational capacity has grown, and areas where you require support?

Additional mandatory training could be provided for all members of the WMAU Board to better meet the needs of WMF, the movement and supporting local requirements.

19. Partnerships over the funding period.

Over the fund period...
A. We built strategic partnerships with other institutions or groups that will help us grow in the medium term (3 year time frame)	Agree
B. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to bring in more contributors from underrepresented groups	Agree
C. The partnerships we built with other institutions or groups helped to build out more content on underrepresented topics/groups	Neither agree nor disagree

19a. Which of the following factors most helped you to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Permanent staff outreach, Staff hired through the fund, Partners proactive interest

19b. Which of the following factors hindered your ability to build partnerships? Please pick a MAXIMUM of the three most relevant factors.

Lack of interest from partners, Limited funding period, Lack of staff to conduct outreach to new strategic partners

20. Please share your learning about strategies to build partnerships with other institutions and groups and any other learning about working with partners?

Our ability to run an in-person event with partners and to provide either in-kind or funding support to get a project started was essential. Having two WMAU staff who are able to travel to meet in-person, and remain a consistent point of contact for partners supports longer term engagement and strengthens outcomes.

Whilst we had success with traditional GLAM institutions and projects, we encountered difficulties around some of our targets implementing First Nations projects due to the Board requiring more time to make sure we approached the subject sensitively. We were able to successfully deliver some events and partner to deliver a Discussion paper, however some other projects required a change in direction.

Part 5: Sense of belonging and collaboration

21. What would it mean for your organization to feel a sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement?

We feel a sense of belonging and engagement in the Wikimedia movement by seeing our work shared and celebrated by the community, and being able to actively contribute to free knowledge movement by securing partnerships both locally and across our wider networks.

22. How has your (for individual grantees) or your group/organization’s (for organizational grantees) sense of belonging to the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?

Somewhat increased

23. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.

Hosting ESEAP2022 led to an overwhelming sense of belonging due to large numbers of people from across the region who attended or contributed in making the conference such a success. Following ESEAP, our focus moved to our local communities and re-engaging them post-pandemic. Many of our community groups shrunk in the past two years, leading to a sense of loss and disconnect among our Australian community that has been difficult to understand.

While our organisation feels a sense of belonging, more work needs to be done to create a consistent feeling of belonging throughout our community by celebrating the work they are contributing to. Also, we note there are many happily doing their own thing, or who aren’t interested in engaging with us unless a specific topic or platform is the focus.

24. How has your group/organization’s sense of personal investment in the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement changed over the fund period?

Somewhat increased

25. If you would like to, please share why it has changed in this way.

Having full time staff has allowed us to spend more time on things that will have longer lasting outcomes. We currently have two full time two staff and believe we could achieve even more in the future as our team grows.

As we have begun to tackle issues around Australian First Nations content on Wikimedia projects, and ways to include more diverse voices in our projects overall, we have felt more personally invested, as many of the issues we are encountering are unique to Australia.

We have also become more invested by creating content for YouTube and social media that is being shared around the world who are interested in joining the Wikimedia movement. In this way, WMAU hopes to lead by example in ways to share stories and content to build engagement within the community.

26. Are there other movements besides the Wikimedia or free knowledge movement that play a central role in your motivation to contribute to Wikimedia projects? (for example, Black Lives Matter, Feminist movement, Climate Justice, or other activism spaces) If so, please describe it below.

Many of those who participate in our events and programs feel strongly about contributing due to the low number of biographies about women on English Wikipedia. This year there has also been lots of discussion around what more we can do to better represent First Nations content. Both of these tie into various movements, but are more widely about representation and the feeling that Wikipedia is representative of historical biases rather than representative of the real world.

Supporting Peer Learning and Collaboration

We are interested in better supporting peer learning and collaboration in the movement.

27. Have you shared these results with Wikimedia affiliates or community members?

No

27a. Please describe how you have already shared them. Would you like to do more sharing, and if so how?

28. How often do you currently share what you have learned with other Wikimedia Foundation grantees, and learn from them?

We do this rarely (less than twice a year)

29. How does your organization currently share mutual learning with other grantees?

Only at conferences such as WOW and ESEAP. We have a number of members and staff sharing at Wikimania 2023 in Singapore as it is in our region.

We did meet with a staff member from Wikimedia UK to discuss ideas and learning around training and facilitation, which was beneficial. Our time zone presents challenges to meet with grantees in Europe and USA. Via blog posts on our website that are included in social media posts, newsletters, and shared across mailing lists.

Part 6: Financial reporting and compliance

30. Please state the total amount spent in your local currency.

278983.14

31. Local currency type

AUD

32. Please report the funds received and spending in the currency of your fund.

Upload Documents, Templates, and Files.

Report funds received and spent, if template not used.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1FY05cs-MwDzvNCAnShUbefcaEn-ITY3G

33. If you have not already done so in your budget report, please provide information on changes in the budget in relation to your original proposal.

See Column X of budget report for line by line explanation.

As discussed above in the Learning Report, our outreach activities were delayed in the first 6 months as a result of changes in staffing, and the coordination of the ESEAP Conference in November 2022. As a result, we used funds from the underspent staffing and training budget lines to sponsor two First Nations Residencies, one at State Library Queensland and one with Analysis and Policy Observatory (APO).

34. Do you have any unspent funds from the Fund?

34a. Please list the amount and currency you did not use and explain why.

AUD$12,616.86

34b. What are you planning to do with the underspent funds?

A. Propose to use the underspent funds within this Fund period with PO approval

34c. Please provide details of hope to spend these funds.

We hope to use this amount (AUD$12,616.86) in the next 4 months to increase our budgeted staffing. An additional 0.2 EFT will provide administrative support for the Executive Officer and the Board to meet increased demand due to new Board members, ESEAP Interim Hub activities and growing demands of project management due to multiple residencies and projects underway.

35. Are you in compliance with the terms outlined in the fund agreement?

As required in the fund agreement, please report any deviations from your fund proposal here. Note that, among other things, any changes must be consistent with our WMF mission, must be for charitable purposes as defined in the grant agreement, and must otherwise comply with the grant agreement.

36. Are you in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations as outlined in the grant agreement?

Yes

37. Are you in compliance with provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code (“Code”), and with relevant tax laws and regulations restricting the use of the Funds as outlined in the grant agreement? In summary, this is to confirm that the funds were used in alignment with the WMF mission and for charitable/nonprofit/educational purposes.

Yes

38. If you have additional recommendations or reflections that don’t fit into the above sections, please write them here.
