San Diego Wikimedians User Group/2024 Annual Report

2024 Annual Report for San Diego Wikimedians User Group

The page is a report of all the activities (and efforts) in which our User Group engaged, from 4 August 2022 through 4 August 2023.

Membership

While there are numerous individuals who have been active on various Wikimedia projects who live within the user group's geographic scope, the number of those individuals who have been active within the user group has been consistent.

Meetups

We held events during 10 of 12 months of the year-long reporting period.

We had to cancel our May event due to last minute unavailability at our host location, and I forgot to coordinate with our host in June.

Community outreach

Our Summer Session for 2023, was a big success, getting w:Chollas Creek onto the main page, and elevating it to a Good Article. We were interviewed by w:Associated Press during our February meetup. We continue coordination with the San Diego Central Library, who continue to allow us the usage of the computer lab, to host the majority of our events during the reporting period. During these events we have been able to engage with members of the public and guide them in their attempts to improve content on English Wikipedia. We continue our efforts to gain more participation from existing users/editors of the various Wikimedia Foundation projects who live within the user groups geographic scope, and hope to gain new users/editors for the various Wikimedia Foundation projects. We continue to utilize Meetup and Facebook to notify the public of upcoming events, as well as posting events on the appropriate Wikipedia Meetup page. We sent representation to two events held by our neighboring user group in Los Angeles.

Grants

The user group had no active grants during this reporting period.
