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?
One of the things that worked well during the Wikidata anniversary event was the number of articles created and participants in attendance. We had originally estimated that 120 articles would be created and 30 people would attend the event, but we actually had 430 articles created and 36 people in attendance. This was a great success, and we are very pleased with the outcome of the event
- What did not work so well?
While the Wikidata anniversary event was overall a success, there were a few challenges that we faced. The event started one hour late, which some people found frustrating. This is because several participants complained that they didn't get bike on time in their area, which made it difficult for them to get to the event on time.
- What would you do differently next time?
There are a few things that the Network would do differently, if the Network is to organize an event. First, the team would make sure to start the event on time to avoid any delays or frustration for participants and make alternative arrangement for people coming from far places.
