Wikipedia Pages Wanting Photos 2024 Campaign in North East Nigeria
As part of WPWP 2024 campaign, we held a two-day campaign where participants wore our branded T-shirts. During the event, we trained new editors on how to add photos to Wikipedia articles. To motivate everyone, we introduced a contest with small prizes. All participants were added to the campaign dashboard so we could track their contributions.
We also had a follow-up session to correct common mistakes, and for those who couldn’t attend, we shared a screen-recorded video to guide them. In the end, participants added images to over 1,165 articles, improving the quality of the pages.

Community Members Physical Meetup to Generate 2000 Fulfulde Recorded Words and Lexemes on Commons and Wikidata
The project brought community members together to learn Fulfulde orthography and explore Wikidata and Wikimedia Commons. Participants were grouped by interest for convenience, making sessions smooth and engaging. The WhatsApp group helped with follow-up, and the strategy of grouping boosted participation and interaction, leading to a successful outcome. During this, we get the inspiration for establishing the Lexicographers club.
