Digital rights in the Caribbean 

Campaign for the inclusion of these topics in Wikipedia

Context: Access Now, JAAKLAC initiative, Wikimedians of the Caribbean and Afrocrowd impulsed a two-session editathon (September 16 and October 9, 2021). To follow this work, the same organizations will develop an education campaign for the inclusion of these topics in Wikipedia.

What is it about: We will basically create 1 Wiki page that specifically focuses on digital rights in the Caribbean, we will include initial information, and we will invite other people to include their inputs in there. This will happen both through socials and direct invitations to specific people who are related with certain topics or new developments particularly in the Caribbean. After some months (probably April) we can decide if we want to have an (informal) panel with other people who included information in the page (Twitterspace?)

When: The campaign will start as soon as we can and will run up to April 2022, more or less.

== '''Welcome to the day of the Edit-a-thon!''' ==

=== What is Wikipedia? === 
Wikipedia is the fifth most visited website on earth (World Economic Forum), and the most-used encyclopedia ever. A couple million people have written bits of it, but most of Wikipedia is written by tens of thousands of volunteers around the world.[[Women in Red#cite note-Houston 2017-7|<sup>[7]</sup>]] (See the [[wikipedia:Statistics|statistics page]] for more information.) We start with a few improvements, learn, and build up from there. You, can, too!

===Our mission for today===
Thanks for coming today and helping make history with the  '''#AfroCROWD''' initiative improving awareness and engagement of people of African Descent on Wikipedia and the open internet.

'''''Today's mission:''''' Add at least one sentence or other contribution to Wikipedia about a [[wikipedia:Notability (people)|notable]] person of African descent or a place or cultural item associated with the the African Diaspora.

==Let’s begin:==
'''[[Special:CreateAccount|Get your account]]/ create a username''': Please don’t use your real name. It should be 6-8 characters. If you need help, please ask a Wikimedia coach
# '''Add your user name''' to the [https://outreachdashboard.wmflabs.org/courses/NYU_Libraries/NYU_Soul_of_Reason Dashboard] and fill out the [https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScRZhz_nA3zZmGWvRtp70KzWOf2YsjxuUOdtvu6-adIfQlULQ/viewform?usp=sf_link Event Information Form] if you haven't yet
# '''Listen to the training''' or if you are editing from home or online [[wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia|head here for the basics]] overview. Head here for a [[wikipedia:Tutorial|simplified tutorial.]]
# '''Browse Editing Ideas''' below and choose a topic to edit (or if you already have one skip to the next step)
# '''Edit''': in short - (1) click edit (2) add a sentence (3) provide a citation (4) repeat
# '''Ask for help''': Don’t worry about perfection, the Wiki Coaches are here to help you.-->

===Editing contribution types for new Wiki editors:===
Is this your very first time? '''Try this:'''

* '''Add a biographical sentence on Wikipedia''': Start with a name, a birthday, an occupation or title,  what they famously did,  and (very importantly) a citation to verify your information from a credible source(s).
* '''Add a citation to an existing Wikipedia page''': find a person, organization, or work of art you are interested in and add a citation. You could add a citation to the episode that features your topic, or search library resources to find good sources to cite.
* '''Add a sentence to the Soul of Reason Wikipedia draft page''': if there is interest, we'll have a breakout room dedicated to drafting a new article on the show.
* '''Add an episode to Wikidata''': check out the list of episodes below and claim one!
* '''Add an image to Wikimedia Commons'''

===How to make a citation (bibliographical reference):=== 
1) First, click on the pencil icon on the right to begin using '''"Visual Editor"'''. Visual editor makes editing easier - like writing a school paper.

2) In Visual Editor, click on the area you want to add the citation. Then click cite. If you have a website as a source, add the website to the blank area. 

If you do not have a website source, click manual and follow the prompts. Then click publish. If you have questions, ask a Wikimedia coach or go to [[wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources|Wikipedia:Tutorial/Citing sources.]]

3) Then click publish.
