This book contains many high-quality images on cereals that can be used to illustrate Wikipedia articles. We are currently uploading them to Commons with the collaboration of Joancreus. (Example).


[modifica] Media

There has been much activity in the media during the last three months, mainly around four themes:

  • 300,000 articles from Wikipedia in Catalan. On 21 December the press reported that the Catalan Wikipedia had reached 300,000 articles. They were echoed by several means: racó català, Bits catalans, Directe.cat, La tafanera. On 24 December Ssola is interviewed by Com radio.
  • 10th anniversary of Wikipedia. Following this, there have been several videos and interviews on the radio: Video done at the Citylab of Cornellà KRLS & Gomà, TV3 KRLS & Gomà, L'internauta Gomà, L'entrevista a Vilaweb Gomà, Ona Mallorca Paucabot.
  • Grant of € 20,000 from puntCAT Foundation to develop the strategic plan of Wikipedia: Rado 4, Endirecte.cat, Technology911, Diari de Girona, Somdigitals.cat, Tecnonews, Comunicació21.
  • In Alghero, it has had a strong media impact the organization of a digital photography competition to illustrate the Wikipedia articles: at Alguer.cat in Catalan and in Italian and on Alghero’s television.

[modifica] Relation with entities.

  • The IEC (Institute of Catalan Studies) has spread among the subsidiaries a request of collaboration with Wikipedia. Up to now, the Literary Section and the Society for Hebrew Studies have responded positively. Barcelona
  • We have kept in touch with entities of the Federation of Senior Citizens of Catalonia. We are also finding ways to make some members participate on Wikipedia. Username: Pallares.
  • The relations with the Picasso Museum have concluded with the organization of the 1st Conference between Catalan Museums and Wikipedia. Kippelboy. We thank User: Witty lama for his collaboration.
  • On January 24 we had a meeting with Escola Massana. We proposed that students draw portraits of people whose images are not copyleft and make them run under free license to illustrate Wikipedia articles. The first impression was good but then it was concluded that this may not take place in the present academic course. Pallares.
  • On February 14 we met the Torrens-Ibern Foundation Board of Trustees. We showed them 30 free-licensed college textbooks in English. The Foundation will contact university lecturers to assess the quality and, if adequate, finance will be promoted in collaboration with the university to translate them and publish them on Wikisource. Goma.



[modifica] Miscellaneous

  • kippelboy attended Glamwiki 2010 at the British Museum.
  • On 16 December the puntCat Foundation provided us with a grant of 20.000€ to develop the strategic plan of Wikipedia.
  • There are two entities that have agreed to provide public information on Wikipedia and make us a point of contact: Centre d'estudis comarcals del Baix Llobregat in Sant Feliu de Llobregat and the Societat Coral el Micalet of Valencia. These entities will have brochures and books on Wikipedia and a person who knows how to edit it. They will provide information to the public and will contact Wikipedia or the association just in case any interested person appears. Hopefully, these are the first steps of a network that will cover the entire territory.
  • Improvements have been made to the Amical-bot. We have implemented a module which offers categories and added more templates and pages of ERS.
  • We have developed a bot that works with the statistics of some French towns and villages. From here you can complement the content of the articles asking for it with a template or they can otherwise be created automatically. This process is currently under discussion. See examples of articles (in Catalan): Improved article or created article.
  • In December, the third survey of Wikipedia users took place. The results were published in January. We thank Marc Miquel for his hard work.
  • The association supports the Wiki Loves Monuments project. We bought the domain http://wikilovesmonuments.cat and are making efforts to get sponsors and prizes to the contest. (Vriullop and others, see project pages).
  • The association is deeply involved in organizing events for the 10th anniversary of the Catalan Wikipedia. More information will be available next month.
  • Free Culture Forum and access to knowledge (http://www.fcforum.net). Participation with the launch of a handbook on sustainability in the digital era. Gomà & User:Lilaroja.
