 I'm the last one. Thank you everybody. I'll be happy to flashlight. You can scan if you want. And if you have any questions. Okay, thank you Lali. If you have questions you can just approach Lali earlier because we are introducing the next session or the next speaker and it will be a panel with Rosie, with Emma, and with Lucy. So the title of their panel is Collaborative on Wiki Events Planning at Women in Red's Virtual Ideas Cafe. So while they are setting up, I would just like to share a trivia that we introduced and shared Wiki Women in Red Virtual Cafe at the Google event yesterday. Yes, you're welcome. So while Lucy's getting us set up, and I guess you did get us set up, I want to say hello and thank you everyone for joining us. I'm wearing red. I'm the co-founder of Women in Red. And my name is Rosie Stephenson Goodnight. I hail from the state of California in United States, North America. But my colleagues come from very far away other places. I'll let them introduce themselves. Good afternoon, everyone. My name is Emma. My username is Chock Milk 03. I'm from Aotearoa, New Zealand. And yeah, very happy to be here and meet you all today. I've been editing for about three years now and involved in events planning with Women in Red only very recently. Hello, everyone. My name is Lucy. I'm from England. And yeah, I'm another editor as well. There are 8,100 page views of Women in Red's on Wiki main page in the last 30 days. 8,100 page views. That's a lot of people looking at what our community does and wondering how do we do it? By the start of this month, August 2023, Women in Red had facilitated 280 on Wiki events. Most of them were one month events. Some of them last a quarter. Some are contests. Some last a year. Some last longer than a year. 280 of them. And how do we do it? All of it on Wiki. No video calls. No emails. No telegram group. No WhatsApp. No in-person meetups on Wiki only. So how do we do it? Well, Women in Red has a robust on Wiki talk page with more than 31,000 comments made on it since our establishment in July 2015 at Wikimania, Mexico City. Planning events requires a special focus and we manage this on Women in Red's sub-page. We call it the Ideas Cafe. There we come up with ideas for our calendar of events. Some events, like I said, last a long time, a year. Some are collaborations with other Wikimedia communities such as our friends at Art and Feminism, Afro Crowd, Wiki Asia Month, CEE Spring, Wiki Loves Folklore, and so many more. We sort out needed tasks and then editors volunteered to complete the tasks. There's a list of common tasks so we don't forget what needs to be done. Promotion of our events happens each month via mass messaging. Next month, repeat. Boring. Let's hear some stories from the other members of Women in Red that aren't so boring. I would never describe you as boring, Rosie. So I just wanted to talk a bit about how I became involved because, as I said, it was very recent. I'd always assumed that there was some kind of hierarchy behind Women in Red and that very important people organized the events and decided what would happen and set them up. And I didn't even know the ideas cafe existed until earlier this year when I think someone tagged me in a question. And when I came across it, I was really interested to see the behind the scenes and I began watching the page and occasionally commenting. People would, you know, say, here's a new logo for the next event and I would say that looks fabulous. But I still didn't really contribute much. And then, so somebody asked a question, what does CEE Women stand for? And I was like, oh, I know this one. It's Central and Eastern European Women. And they said, great, can you create the event page for the editor phone? And I was like, oh, am I allowed to do that? And I was and I gave it a go. It was very easy because now that we've had 280 events, there's a lot of templates to follow. I created the page, someone else proofread it, like anything on Wiki if you make a mistake, someone else can fix it. And since then I've really enjoyed just contributing to Wikipedia in a bit of a different way by some of the behind the scenes stuff. And yeah, it turns out there is no hierarchy of very important people. If you're interested, go to the page and you can get involved as much or as little as you like, just like Wikipedia in general. So kind of similar to Emma. So I got involved with organizing through basically someone who's already organizing saying, oh, hey, can you can you set that up? So I care really deeply about Wiki Women in Red having a spread of geographical focuses. We have a geo focus every month. And I was suggesting lots of ideas. And then someone said, hey, could you just make these event pages for us? And very similarly, I thought, oh, am I allowed? And then I realized, well, yes, we're all around. We're all equal. And we all bring our contributions. I edit a little bit less at the moment. But what I do do is send our mass message every every month. So if you receive that, that will be coming from me. So thanks. And again, that came out of someone saying, oh, we need more people to send a mass message who can learn. And I thought to myself, oh, I do have less time. But actually, that's probably a task that I can do that I can take on. And and it's really important to me that I do make a contribution. And you don't have a community if you don't build it. And you don't you can't build a community if you're not doing things and taking on tasks. And so this is the thing that I feel that I can bring most concretely at the moment. So we thought it'd be really interesting for us to talk a bit about how we achieve consensus on our ideas page with Rosie. Do you know how many people are signed up to the project at the moment? Something right under a thousand. Yeah. So there's potentially a thousand different voices kind of bringing their ideas and their points of view as to what we should cover month by month and year on year. So how do we when when there is different points of you, how do we manage that within our ideas page? So Emma and I have got two examples to talk to you about. So the first one comes from 2021. And that's the image on the left hand side of the screen. You can go to the talk page and find it. And basically one of our, you know, editors that we're really fond of suggested that we had a focus on North America. And then if you look at the discussion, immediately another editor says, oh, I'm not sure. So much sure we do a lot of North American focus. How about territories of North America, which have a much less of a focus and much less content. And then in the discussion, which is always respectful, the idea kind of moved and transformed itself. So we ended up with a six month focus on former territories of all current territories of a range of different countries. So we looked at America, we looked at Hong Kong and Macau, we looked at the Dutch Caribbean, we looked at British territories, and we looked at Greenland and the Faroes. So an idea that kind of started as let's do something for places that are quite well covered already, quickly morphed into something that was more specific. And another example comes from the organization for one of this month's events. If you're interested, go to the page, have a look, contribute. It's the Indigenous Women Editathon, which has run in previous years. And it's one of my personal favorites to contribute to because coming from New Zealand, Maldi and Pacifica women are underrepresented on Wikipedia. And I noticed a discussion where one of the regular contributors was asking whether we should be doing this event at all. And so what that came out of was last year, some concerns had been raised about people creating articles without properly vetting claims of Native American or Indigenous Canadian identity. So this is something I hadn't personally had any familiarity with, but I understand that in those cultures, your Indigenous identity is not a personal choice that you define by your own ancestry, but it's about whether the tribe or tribal nation that you belong to recognizes you as a member. So a lot of people might say, oh, I'm one 16th Cherokee or something like that, but that doesn't mean they can call themselves a Cherokee woman. So someone was concerned that this might not be a suitable topic for an editathon because in the past there have been problems with people creating pages without properly checking. And there was a really, I wasn't involved in the discussion because when I saw it, it had already reached consensus. But I just thought it was such a respectful discussion, everyone was listening to each other, understanding concerns. You know, nobody said don't be ridiculous. That's an absurd concern to have. But then there were other people pointing out very respectfully that, you know, there's a lot of Indigenous cultures around the world and without this editathon, many women would go unrepresented. So the decision was reached to put a note on the editathon page basically alerting people to these concerns and where they could go for more information, including another relevant Wiki project. And I just thought that was a really great outcome and really demonstrated how respectful and kind everybody is. We'd love to have more of you join us. Join us in any way that's comfortable for you. Of course, create more biographies and articles about women's representation. Create them in any language that is convenient for you. Women in red appears in 33 language Wikipedia's. Let's add some more to that. If you don't want to actually write the articles, but you love doing organizing work, we'd love to have you help us organize events. So just reach out to any of the three of us. We'd love to chat with you more. We're here through Wikimani and otherwise you can reach us. The way we always do on Wiki. Thank you very much. Now it's time for lunch. So let me give you some explanations. Lunch is out the doors and over towards my left where the concourse area is. That's place number one. But place number two, you can go right up to the main hall. The main hall is on the fourth level. We're on the third. So go up to the fourth level room, 401, 401. It's a huge room. It's got lots of food. It's got lots of drinks and it's got a big stage in the front. Join us up by the big stage in at 215. 215, see you there. Thank you very much. Thank you so much, Wiki women in red. But before we let you go, can I please request everyone to please come forward for a photo session. May I request the AV team to please project on this projector, the Wiki women summit slide. So yes, you can have a background. So please come forward, everyone, and have a photo groupie groupie session. Thank you for a solid warm meaningful and informative morning session. Please come back at the plenary in 215 for our afternoon session and meet our distinguished fellow Wiki women later. So have a wonderful lunch. But before you go for lunch, let's have a group photo. I can be the one to take the photo. We will share the photo later and we will upload it on comments. Okay. Yes. I'm quite shy to ask, but can the guys take a picture of us? Oh, really? Okay, okay, okay. And one more, one more please. Thank you so much. So since we are going to be cranked up okay, okay. Let me do the choreography first. Okay. The others, the tall ones go up, go at the back. The, yes, the others can go just sit in the front. Okay. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Maybe we will have to remove the slide because it's getting in the face of other participants. So we can do without the, yes. Okay, so much better. So kindly compress yourselves. And if you don't want to be, you can do the Miss Universe post. Do you know what a Miss Universe post is? Post is, so it's like a sideways and then Wiki women, Wiki women. Okay. So let me see if the visuals is good. Okay. Let's hope everyone gets, come here in front. Yes, come here in front. You can sit down here. You can sit down because you can't be seen. Come on, Miss Aloha. You can't be seen here. Yes, yes.
