Wikipedia talk:Geo-targeted Editors Participation

Promoting this program

Can we share this at WT:TAMBAY? That is where most of the active ENWP editors from the Philippines talk shop. --seav (talk) 22:55, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

of course! Please do! We were about to do so ourselves. Ijon (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Also, can Wikimedia Philippines promote this on its usual PR channels? Or should this strictly be limited to getting editor participation via on-wiki (sitenotice) methods only? --seav (talk) 23:34, 6 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, by all means. But let's wait with promoting via other channels until we have had a chance to discuss the program a little. Ijon (talk) 00:08, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Participation outside the English Wikipedia

Hi, Asaf. Will this project be deployed only on the English Wikipedia? Or will Philippine-language Wikipedias be able to benefit from this experiment as well through direct or indirect participation? If this is successful on the English Wikipedia, we're hoping to point people to the local Wikipedias as well, which are significantly less-developed. --Sky Harbor ^(talk) 01:58, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. Yes, the current proposed project will be deployed only on EnWp. If Philippine-language Wikipedias communities are interested in deploying similar experiments, I would advice taking a look at some of the previous work on Arabic and Bengali Wikipedia, as these projects were designed specifically aiming to recruit new editors in small size wikipedias. Thanks. --Haithams (talk) 19:01, 7 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
