Wikipedia Library

[edit]

In 2015 we helped to launch a branch of Wikipedia Library in Finnish Wikipedia. During community consultation the branch was named Wikipedian Lähdekirjasto. After setting up the initial pages, the coordinator approached the first possible partner, The Finnish Literature Society (Finlit). In late November Lähdekirjasto launched its first donation program, where Finlit gives 20 accounts to Wikipedians to its Kansallisbiografia and Talouselämän vaikuttajat web publications [1]. The publications include over 8 500 biographies of notable Finnish people.

Suomi 100

[edit]

Wikiprojekti Suomi 100 is a volunteer project for the centennary anniversary of Finnish indepence in the year 2017. The aim of to project is:

  1. to create a list of roughly one hundred central Finland-related articles in fi-Wikipedia and
  2. improve them into either "promising" (fi:Wikipedia:Lupaavat artikkelit), "good" (fi:Wikipedia:Hyvät artikkelit) or "featured articles" (fi:Wikipedia:Suositellut artikkelit),
  3. to produce at least one high quality interwiki article for each of them, and
  4. to arrange an international challence in which the respective interwiki articles in other wikies are improved.

The project is carried out totally on voluntary basis by the Fi-wikipedia editor community. The progress of the project can be followed here.

Financial administration

[edit]

Wikimedia Finland continued the use of the Holvi banking system. Using the system causes extra work for the accounting agency. Managing a separate cost center for Wikimaps and administering grants of different lengths has made the work more complex. We will evaluate if a change into a more traditional accounting system will support us better, but for now, we will continue with the system.
