 All right, I think we're a little bit, okay, Tom officially started. Hello everyone, this is my topic. Ukraine's cultural deployment month, three different years. But first let's get acquainted. Some of you may know me, I'm Renvoi, first of all. Some of you may know me as Global Sysop. Some of you may know me as a member of Umbudsk Commission. But out of many hats I wear. One of the most challenging, but at the same time, one of the most interesting positions was a manager at Wikimedia Ukraine, an affiliate of foundation. And Ukraine is a country I've come from. So this small session is going to be about the tale, about the biggest international editing contest we've organized and that might have changed the world, slightly in the better place. So it all started in 2021. In the midst of the global pandemic, we, as Wikimedia Ukraine, thought about trying to replicate the success that we had with our photo contests. So everyone knows about Wikilev Earth, Wikilev monuments, but we wanted to replicate something like that in the more of an insculopedia style. So we've partnered with Ukrainian Institute, our governmental organization responsible for several cultural projects that are related for a broad audience. And we thought that it would be a very nice idea to create a project that would cover all Wikipedias and basically afford editors to write about Ukraine's cultural affairs and famous people. Because culture is essentially what leads us together, what makes us all human beings and what unites us. So, yeah, 2021 was quite successful. We got almost, yeah, 800 articles, Wikipedias articles written, 700 Wikidata items, and we thought, yeah, all right, this idea works. It's quite good. We got great response from community. So we thought, yeah, why not to replicate it for the next year? So, yeah, 2022 came. Now, I coded the year of ambivalence for some reasons, but I will get to it. So a little bit of a side track. So one of the most popular resources you can use to promote your campaign is by creating a Wikimedia banner. So that's what, yeah, we have a central notice admin in the room. So, yeah, by creating the banner, you can promote your campaign, any campaign. So it could be photo contest, it could be editing contest, anything. Of course, after approval. So the second edition of campaign was starting at 17th of February and ending in 17th of March. But even prior to that, I thought, well, why not to put the banner campaign, start the banner campaign exactly at 24th of February 2022? Because I thought, yeah, it's in the middle of the contest. So it should be fine. But when you are preparing for your contest, something that you don't realize and you never consider is when something like this happens. And, yeah, when in the morning, in February, yeah, 24th, I woke up and this is the first site I saw, this is something you cannot prepare for any day. Yeah, so, but despite this, and despite the start of the more exactly the same day, contest continued. And we've got some great response. We've got almost 4,000 articles written in 60 languages. Some of the greatest support we had ever. And this was one of the most successful years of campaigns, I guess, for the half of the year, we've been the only cultural project left in Ukraine, like ever in the whole country. It was the only project. So, yeah, it's, think about, it's crazy. And I call it the year of ambivalence because, yeah, we got this great support, this great success from the community writing about other country, about other culture. But the purpose of that and the starting point of that was why the people wrote was quite horrible. It's war that started. But we've been moving along. 2023 came. So we've started a little bit to shaken up things a bit. We, and started to, first of all, we've developed this special list of articles trained to fill certain gaps about certain cultural aspects in different Wikipedia's. So I've personally got through all Wikipedia's and tried to understand which of them have lacked which articles about what cultural aspects of Ukrainian culture and what people are missing. So, yeah, and tried to steer community writing about the most important topics, not just about everything just for the sake of writing. Yeah, and also small Wiki support. We've developed a list of articles, especially for small Wiki's. So they could just write about the most important articles. And a shout out to Wikimedia Malaysia for organizing the meeting, a flight meeting just down the road in Kuala Lumpur. So, yeah, just to support our contest. That's so great. Yes. So I won't try to pretty much bore you with a lot of statistics. But these are the two great numbers I want to share. First is the articles created. It's 6,000 articles created during the span of three years. And it may not seem like too much because, yeah, English Wikipedia has like a thousand times more articles. But for us, it's a great, great purpose. And to get such language in 89 language editions to me is like a little bit of language nerd. That's like a huge amount. Just huge. 27% of Wikipedia's now have like more articles about most distinguished Ukrainian cultural things, people about the best films, about the best literature, about the best works of art. That's so great, I think. And, yeah, essentially, this is why I called it the contest that changed the world a little bit because in midst of such hard times, such harsh actions and military actions, that's something that essentially, yeah, inspires us and keeps us going, I think. Because, yeah, essentially culture is, as I said, something that really unites us in a way. Now, at the end of each campaign, we also send out the questionnaire. If you participated, you've definitely received an email from me asking to fill it out. And one of the questions that we ask is why? Why would you... What's the motivation? Why would you write articles about a completely different country, about a completely different culture in your Wikipedia? So we've got a response from the many responses, of course. But I will leave you with this quote. This is the quote from a participant from Japan that wrote something like this. I just wanted to show the solidarity for brave Ukrainian citizens fighting for their autonomy, although I know our Wikipedia activities are powerless. Tyrants, however, have always been afraid of pen. Thanks so much.
