 So there's only three of us probably okay For now. Yep. Hello. So my name is Young Jin from Wikimedia Korea So I just gonna talk about engaging with you in the case with the Korea and Wikipedia right now And yeah, so agenda will be like this. So I'm gonna just like bring Giving overview of the hours conversations that happening right now. And then I'm just gonna show the Initiatives that what Korean communities are doing and then we are we can able to do open discussions If you have any experience with engaging with use so that we can share our experience with them. So let's go so Many of us are transitioned during online activities due to pandemic Korea and Wikimedia gets largest number of new users while like the Co-prepared which is end of 2019 to early 2020 So using the Wikipedia knowledge platform For the young people, but however, there is a problem. So they know the knowledge There this little knowledge platform, but they are not aware about what's that what exactly details about community so that was the problem and new main pages that we implement in the early 2020s It has the all the like the links to the community village that has been increasing the participation of the community at that time And it has been also motivated by English to the English Wikipedia one point. So that's what I believe and Then they are getting in and they don't know what's the Village pump for the question and answer. So In case here is the view of a main page as you know, there's a help And the there's a village pump question and answer and build And community portal as as well Okay, next slide is why not coming Okay, so our remember the hour we keep me media's Wikimani at 2020s theme diversity collaboration and future Why is it important to with the engaging of use? So it is necessary to get the Wikimedia MoMA sustainability Then we need to get like the age diversity as well as the what we call gender and the lgbd q plus Distability and the regional diversity But I think age diversity is important In order to move on to be keep sustainable I think age diversity with the all generations from the Baby boomer to gen jet and the more kids that's very important to have it So that's why I'm thinking the importance using engagement is very important So in order to get engaged with the use it is very important to understanding their culture so that so So we have to in order to understand in the culture and the multibank the use Project they are very very important in the korean Wikipedia since Often uses are many since many sessions between wiki media wiki mania already told like the motivating The users is important. It is very important to use as well because We have to communicating each other and if they are not getting engaged by any community members I often realize that they're just going to leave once So the engagements are kind of following so We have to improve and reorganize the existing resources So creating the restructure to help and the guideline pages are kind of important And we have to efforts to the kind of communicate directly with the use users That does not limited in the communication with the through the official portals like the irc Village for village pumps and etc. I try to what how I engaging the use users very very There very very like the in the active way for example I try to get somehow the telegrams or whatsapp and discord etc I try to reaching out them and individually And giving them advice on there and like the provide some funds if I think is helpful That makes like the they feeling like a more community member Of course, and we also have a Student camp which is dedicated page for the use users This is the how looks a student camps looks like and what we also implemented was the temporary like the qna and the Board kind of things which is similar to the village pump and separate village pump that way the original discussion is going to be not Not ignored and also as well the students and the use users can ask the questions and the Express their concern to the fellow teenager users and etc. Can be happening oops So also important to encourage them and the what they want to do and support behind the scenes. So This is the somehow the day the game they created one I know this game is a little bit tricky and the silly because only one reason why they're tricky and silly is they just None know how to design the thing. They just want to making it's like the We think somehow bad this bad and the not a proper the Wikipedia and it's duplicate with the others We should not reaching just as a deleting it instead. I think I what our committee is doing We just encouraging them to building that resources Keep their building that resources and then they can some got some achievements on there so that We can able to do we can able to get more users with this if possible We also working with the local affiliate, which is Wikimedia Korea. I'm also board member at there right now. So The wiki camp which known as wiki tambang is also possible and the collaborate the use agencies and Understand that we all Wikimedia Korea also doing the Frequent meetings with the use users as well as the administrator myself so that we can just like able to communicate each other and They are being like supported when any helps are needed and we also utilize the volunteer hours Because the many high schools in many middle schools and high schools in south korea They will need somehow the volunteer hours for necessarily needed so that we can get volunteer hours with the editing They're really helpful However, it is also helpful the university students, which also include in usage group because sometimes in south korea Many university, especially the medical school. They're graduating They're having they're required to have the volunteer hours. It's a specific number of volunteer hours So we are making topics specific topics to be We are missing on category and then we just able ask them to improve the articles or translate That project is started recently. So not on the slide, but I can briefly explain at this point So the best example that the what the teenager and youth Initiatives in the week south korea is the wiki tambang, which is the visiting the bar's place in the soul And the take-off sessions and the giving the volunteer hours and some rewards if they're doing very good activities So there was a three sessions already held each session as a six to ten persons attended so Lots of youth users Passage pays it it includes the existing and the advanced youth users and the new youth users as well So we also collaborate through with the local organizations. So we said to leave we have the organized organized the communication with the the soul youth agency, but I So you centered. Yes And we also plan to like the giving some distributing guide to how to utilize the wikipedia for editing In there because many teachers in south korea does not aware about the wikipedia themselves because of the way they educate them the way south korea's education is they're not like the Source source knowledge and the kind of desk stuff. So it is spare. We can able to utilize for the Wikipedia in the school We also plan thinking about the wiki quotes as well because that's easier stuff They can just like get some quotes and then posting on there. So that's also the possibility So here are the quotes from the Teenager user. So this is the user genan. So I'm not going to read the entire quote because of timing but you can feel free to just see how he achieved And another user white tiger this user is Be selected as the wiki median of the year last year in south korea And he actually received the price for it. So here's a picture of it So in the achievements, we have five more plus administrators elected from the youth age group And as I told you last slide one user on youth users recently awarded for wiki medias for a year And they are all some youth users are active very very very active on the content developments. That's our goal. So It is actually good to have the users that contributing our content to be sustainable And they are proposing and hosting at turns in sometimes so that it was great achievements However, there's also challenges as well. So Because after covid many people serve back to the schools and the off like onsite work so that decrease of the new users And we we also have struggled with the still not user brand daily environment, for example Help pages are still like the outdated and the teen south koreans. They are not like to read like the entire like a long long text so We have to be like the restructure the help page in order to get Quick simple as quick as possible to edit the wikipedia So lack of knowledge about movement is also the problem And changing the trends is also a problem and the big computer about namu wiki, which is competition site I'm not going to show because of the copyright issue, but this should be the another presentation the wiki media. I think So from now on we have nine minutes and 41 seconds left and I I can have a quick open discussion So I want to hear the what's your use engagements are right now And what's the problem and the what's you achieve? Like if you have any things then we can quickly share it within the remaining nine minutes and 24 seconds And then yeah So if anyone wants to share their experiences Make ah cool. Hi. Thank you a lot for the presentation. I think it's a very important topic Um, I'm a captain in chair of wikipedia france. And yeah, we have matilde with it, which is uh, who is working with us Um in wiki media france. We support uh wikipedia Which is an encyclopedia founded in french um As wikipedia junior in the years and which is an encyclopedia for young people made by young people with some help by adults Um, we think it's super cool. So we are helping them financially with skills, etc and uh, we found a very very Intense engagements online too. So it's working. We didn't explore a lot the on-site activities because People are spaced uh within all friends, but it could be a lead. So thank you for that um I think it's super important because they are the future wiki medians and we did a survey within the community And there is no gender gap in uh wikipedia So it's super cool um One of the things is um, well, um, I forgot what I had to say Um But yeah wikipedia exists. That's it in several languages Notably italian is pretty active, but we will be very interested in supported more languages For example korean Because we think there is a huge interest for that There's going to be a an arabic version It's it's supposed to be launched in uh next in coming coming september So yeah, and we used uh in the past to do uh, um, a wiki Concours or do you say that a wiki challenge in high school in france? It was working quite well But it became more and more difficult for the students to match the quality levels on wikipedia Which means for this kind of public Um, if you take the entire class it is complicated to to be involved in encyclopedia like Writing so it's better to concentrate on challenges With other forms of free knowledge like you did I think so and we need to explore a bit that uh in the future Yep, thank you while moving the microphone So I know the wik wikis that I just session that I've had just right before that was very interesting And that could be easier to apply for use users as well As long as I know the rules actually All right, go ahead in Estonia, we have also a bit struggled about how you Get more of those uh young people into wikipedia Just like in all those over 20 years of Estonia wikipedia the average age of average editor Probably has grown somewhere between five to 10 years over this time period But with some of the projects we actually have friends one of the interesting ideas that think Could be easily replicated in other countries Is that we ever had for and specifically as it's for very young people It might also be a difficulty to again have this quality that is in place So we have done those kind of competitions When there is a limited time amount We have tested out with let's say 24 hours 30 hours 36 hours From the younger people it's Let's say 24 hours is better for let's say University students something like 36 hours or 30 hours is preferred And this is a team competition when there's like a set of students working together An article and trying pressure and they have a decent price for it And that does so far show relatively good results in Estonia at least I think it's something that could be also tested in other countries might it be Suitable way for having this sort of engagement Yep, thank you. I know the engagements within like the teenagers has been like the quality such as well Some some added users are going to be like to having like the quality bad qualities of articles that they not know the wiki Being very well so that its engagement might be a little bit like the harder if the Administrators are not aware about this and rollbacking and blocking sometimes it may be harder. Yeah, director Hello, Martin from Germany And and germ wikipedia. There is actual club called young wikipedia young wikipedia for Has to be it was until 18 years old Contributors and they changed that to 20 years old contributors and they Not only have their own photo competition and article writing competition and Article improvement competition et cetera, et cetera, but they also Tried to meet early The situation to support them first meetup was in 2015 and some of the young wikippians Yeah Also at wikimania, for example, there was a meetup and at wikimania 2016 and with a couple of other young wikippians there and Yeah, so then there was And all these young wikippians became old and the new generation didn't show up. So there was really a bit of like break or pause on that and Now they seem to there seems to be a new generation active and we have the edited youth editing workshops in berlin actually One was yesterday and also tried to support them, but for obvious reasons. I couldn't do this yesterday and So they use central notice banners to invite people to their editing workshops We give me the darshan supports with the landing page on their website with the registration process And with all the fancy things you have to sign when you're a minor I'll let your parents sign and bring to the workshop. So in Over the years this also developed a little so when I started supporting them 10 years back There's just a letter from their parents that I could support them nowadays. We have to sign many many documents And uh, so these are some of the struggles we have All right. Thank you. And there is another person another person back 45 seconds only because we are almost out of time Oh one minute is also possible. Yeah too bad, uh Too bad. It's only one minute or else. I probably can just simply elaborate what I have done I'm okay I'm the admin for the Malay wikipedia and also active member of the Malaysia community user group. So what I have done Uh, what I've done is basically like one thing that I have concentrate is for communication So usually what you have done is we use like Uh, as platforms that are well known by the younger generation like discord and also twitter I also active over there and I think it's really done good for our communication Especially within the younger generation Within our community the Malay wiki and have like soon again We have guns have some activity of that and also Uh, as they have discussed on the plenary hall just now We also try to implement like wiki media to open up for public culture such as like my president and mr Doty have launched the wiki cosplay Which is basically like more concentration on the anime and stuff And maybe me personally I would like to try to expand it into maybe of the parts of pop culture such as like music I have more of a music lineated And also like other stuff that maybe come about and also I try to look at the like cultural events that maybe attract Younger generations to come into wiki media and wiki media especially. So yeah, it's my one minute off 30 seconds 30 seconds Oh, no, I'm I'm saying to operator and it sounds yeah, okay nevermind. I just ended cut it off right now. So yeah, thank you All right, so we're almost done. So thank you everyone for coming I'm pretty sure many wikis has like different use strategy because the cultural there is difference However in the korea, I think it's a little bit problem that like the they are not not knowing about the sources and the references their education styles are like kind of the Hard to engaging with that so that it is kind of the hard difficult to the us That's what I was thinking in that thinking while engagement. So thank you for coming and I'll pass to the next section. Thank you
