Goals
[edit]Did you meet your goals? Are you happy with how the project went?
The project focused on increasing wikidata participation, promoting integration between wikidata and other wiki projects, recruiting new editors, increasing skills for existing editors in Igbo Wikimedians User Group, also add/improve contents on wikidata. And in that regard, I can boldly say YES the project goals were met, and I am happy with the outcome.

Learning
[edit]Projects do not always go according to plan. Sharing what you learned can help you and others plan similar projects in the future. Help the movement learn from your experience by answering the following questions:
- What worked well?
1. The idea of increasing the training event days from 4(wikidata_for_all first project) to 5 days in this project was a good one as it allowed more time on the discussions of the various topics.
2. Also subsidizing internet subscription for all participants ensured the repeat of participants to all the events.
3. The one week challenge was also a success as it gave room for participants to add data in a competitive spirit. One I wish to continue in future projects.
4. we had no spam attacks during our live sessions unlike the previous project. and i feel this was due to the measure we took which was passwording our zoom meetings
- What did not work so well?
1. During the online training, some participants had internet connection issues, which saw to them being on and off during the training. As a result, some were frustrated by it and did not reconnect after the experience of being logged out. Our workaround was to record each of the training sessions and post it on our project page
2. some participants struggled with the Training on how to query wikidata using SPAQL language because they find it too technical in that it entails them understanding SPAQL programming language.
- What would you do differently next time?
1. try to make training especially on the topic "making queries using SPAQL" seem less technical and more fun. maybe create a contest around that.
