Get a leaflet printed for your project at Wikimania 2014
Project Leaflets are here to help you recruit volunteers for your project at Wikimania 2014 - and beyond - by making it more discoverable. These leaflets will be printed at Wikimania 2014, and the designs can be re-used in the future at other events and locations. We hope seeing these will help showcase the breadth of activity within Wikimedia - and hopefully even most community members will find some they've never heard of before!
This is particularly aimed at highlighting less discoverable but successful projects, e.g:
- Active Wikiprojects: Wikiproject Medicine, WikiProject Video Games, Wikiproject Film
- Tech projects/Tools, which may be looking for either users or developers.
- Less known major projects: Wikinews, Wikidata, Wikivoyage, etc.
- Wiki Loves Parliaments, Wiki Loves Monuments, Wiki Loves ____
- Wikimedia thematic organisations, Wikiwomen’s Collaborative, The Signpost
All you need to do is fill in the template below, we'll do the rest - they'll be ready and waiting for you at Wikimania 2014.
Any questions? Please contact at: ed@wikimanialondon.org

Systemic Bias Kit
| Your contact details | keilanawiki gmail.com
|
| Project name | Writing Diversity Back Into Wikipedia |
| Short Description | Wikipedia's systemic bias against women, non-Western people, people of color, non-Anglophone topics, and other marginalized groups is well known. Use this kit to learn how to create a sustainable series of workshops to combat this problem, one editor and one article at a time. |
| Longer description | Representation in Wikipedia for these groups is so important, because Wikipedia is for everyone, not just white, cisgendered, heterosexual males from an Anglophone Western country. With this kit, you can learn how to gather a small, effective group of participants and teach them the skills they need to write articles! The model of one-off edit-a-thons or workshops is unsustainable, but with social advertising, repeat workshops (at least once a month), and a friendly, welcoming atmosphere, high editor retention rates are completely possible. This kit contains everything you need to run a workshop. Just add Wikipedians! |

Wikidata
| Your contact details | @nightrose |
| Project name | Wikidata |
| Short Description | Wikidata is an open database for the sum of all knowledge in the world, freely accessible and editable for everyone. The Wikidata project supports all Wikipedia language versions, more than 280 of them, with a single source of structured data. This means all articles in the free online encyclopedia can be complemented with data. To give an example: dates of birth or death of notable people can be integrated in all language versions of Wikipedia once they are stored in Wikidata. Of course, just like all knowledge in Wikipedia and as you'd expect, data in Wikidata can also be used freely everywhere else.

| Your contact details | User:Another Believer |
| Project name | Wikimedia LGBT |

Wikipedia Art and Feminism
| Your contact details | User:OR drohowa,User:Theredproject, |
| Project name | Wikipedia Art+Feminism |
| Short Description | In February 2014, Siân Evans (Art Libraries Society of North America's Women and Art Special Interest Group), Jacqueline Mabey (The office of failed projects), Michael Mandiberg, Laurel Ptak (Eyebeam Fellow), and Richard Knipel and Dorothy Howard (Metropolitan New York Library Council) of Wikimedia NYC, organized an ArtAndFeminism edit-athon at Eyebeam Art and Technology Center in New York City. More than 30 satellite events were organized in Australia, Canada, Italy, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and the United States. The campaign attracted an estimated 600 participants, resulting in more than 100 new Wikipedia articles and 100 expanded articles focused on women and the arts. ArtandFeminism Edit-a-Thons continue to be organized and the ArtandFeminism project provides event hosting support and resources for any interested party. |
| Longer description | Wikipedia's gender trouble is well documented. In a 2010 survey, Wikimedia found that less than 13% of its contributors are female. The reasons for the gender gap are up for debate: suggestions include leisure inequality, how gender socialization shapes public comportment, and the contentious nature of Wikipedia's talk pages. The practical effect of this disparity, however, is not. Content is skewed by the lack of female participation. Many articles on notable women in history and art are absent on Wikipedia. This represents an alarming aporia in an increasingly important repository of shared knowledge. |

Wikiwomen's Collaborative
| Your contact details | User: Netha Hussain, User:SarahStierch, User:Atropine |
| Project name | Wikiwomen's Collaborative |
| Short Description | Wikiwomen's Collaborative is an online initiative that seeks to engage and inspire women to edit Wikipedia, Commons, and related projects through outreach events, calls for action, social media campaigns and peer-to-peer support. |
| Longer description | The WikiWomen's Collaborative is a community project created by women around the world who edit Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects and want to encourage others to do the same. At last count, the Wikimedia Foundation found that only 9% of Wikipedians are women. Wikiwomen's Collaborative aims to create a social movement to encourage those who are already active Wikimedians to continue to deepen their participation, inspire others to do the same, and make it easy for more women to successfully help share their portion of the sum of all the world's knowledge. Inspired by the women's movement of the 21st century, we hope that by creating dedicated places online to share our projects and support one another, we can engage more women to contribute to Wikipedia. |

Wiki loves Parliaments
| Your contact details | Olaf Kosinsky |
| Project name | Wiki loves Parliaments |
| Short Description | Since 2009 Wikipedians are visiting German and Austrian State Parliaments to take pictures of their members. They have been made available under a free license on Wikimedia Commons. They can be used in Wikipedia and other Wikimedia projects but also outside of Wikipedia - in compliance with the license conditions - for example by the Members of Parliament themselves. |
| Longer description | Wiki Loves Parliaments is a new name for a project which had already been implemented several times in the german-speaking community. Volunteers, mainly photographers and Wikipedians, gathered in State Parliaments for an orchestrated action in order to take as many portraits of deputies, talk to them, give them a hand if they had some problems with Wikipedia or their articles and leave a good impression with them and the parliament's administration on the Wikimedia movement.
These projects have been successful, since 2009 17 such projects have been organised, thousands of pictures were taken, photographers teached each other how to make the best portraits, equipment such as flash units, backgrounds and lenses have been bought and soon the project became an almost professional endeavour - at least looking at the results. The issue became a topic in the german conference of State Parliament directors and soon every parliament invited Wikipedia to visit them - even across the borders in Austria where until today two such projects have been implemented. Eventually we also started taking video statements from deputies. Besides the creation of free pictures of politicians, the project offers the deputies the opportunity to ask questions about Wikipedia and to discuss „their“ Wikipedia article (eg. to indicate possible problems with personal rights). For Wikipedians this offers the chance to explain their idea of „Free Knowledge“ and the work of the Wikimedia projects. In addition these contacts give Wikipedia photographers access to places that are not accessible to the public in order to produce free images. |

Wikivoyage
| Your contact details | voy:User:LtPowers |
| Project name | Wikivoyage |
| Short Description | For travellers, by travellers: a multilingual, web-based project working to create a free, complete, up-to-date, and reliable worldwide travel guide. |
| Longer description | Wikivoyage was founded in the spirit of sharing knowledge... the same spirit that makes travel so enjoyable. Whenever travellers meet each other on the road, they swap info about the places they came from and ask questions about places they're going.
We want to make it easy to share that knowledge and let others share it; our copyleft license means that the facts you know can spread far and wide. Unlike traditional travel guide books, where everything is copyrighted and based on a single person's one-time visit, Wikivoyage is entirely open content and constantly updated with new information. All you need is Internet access to write and make changes to Wikivoyage articles, even (or especially) while you're travelling! Wikivoyage's largest language projects are English, German, and French, but we have 13 other languages, too. You can help them grow and become the go-to source for travel information for the world! |
