Let's improve the representation of Africa's sports women on Wikimedia projects !
[edit]From the 1st - 30th June 2019 Wiki Loves Women wants to celebrate all of Africa's sports women across several language Wikipedias (English and French), WikiData and Wikimedia Commons. Through this drive you can upload images, translate existing articles, add WikiData items or create new articles on your favourite female sportswoman. The existing list of sports women being covered on Wikimedia projects is listed below.
Celebrate a sport you love and the people who play it in your country!
What is this Women in Sport Drive about ?
[edit]Help improve articles on Africa's Sports Women
Below ... you will find a list of all the women who live on the African continent who are recorded on WikiData as a sports woman. The list shows you:
- which country she lives in,
- what sports discipline she excels at,
- what articles exist for her in English, French, Portuguese or Arabic Wikipedia and
- if there is an image for her.
Please note: these are the women who are currently listed. If they are not listed here, they need to be!
How to be part of the drive
[edit]There are many ways to be part of this drive. Some are very easy (adding WikiData items, or a description to an image), some are more complicated (translating or adding all team members to Wikidata, or uploading an image), while others might take a bit of time (like writing an article). You decide how involved you want to be. Perhaps a few thing today, and more involved stuff on the weekend ...? Every little edit helps!
1. Make sure you are logged in. If you are not yet registered, you can register here:
2. Add your name in the participants' section below!
- Add your name by signing with ~~~~
3. Review the table. Look at the entries for your country or a sport you are very excited by.
4. Are there any obvious entries missing (for example, Ghanian national football team)? If so, add the WikiData items for any sportswomen who are not mentioned on this list (and should be).
- If Sports women are missing from your list, you can add new people to WikiData by creating a new item.
5. Improve or translate existing articles
- Look at the article and see if it needs improvement (citations, more up-to-date information). Perhaps check if there is a corresponding article in another language you contribute to - if not, please feel free to create a new article in this language.
6 Add more information to each of the WikiData entries listed below
- Click on the number that starts with a Q that is next to the sportswoman whose information you wish to edit. This will take you to www.wikidata.org. Click on the Edit / pencil icons to start editing.
7. Upload images of sportswomen who do not yet have one
- Use the upload wizard on Commons in order to add images to the Wikimedia projects. Be sure to add the name of the person featured in the image to the description and the caption. You can use the new depiction function to link them to any of the sports women listed below.
8. Link the images of sportswomen to their Wikidata item number
- There are many images on Commons that have not yet been linked to the relevant WikiData item. You might find some images that need more detailed descriptions here:
- Some images on Wiki Loves Africa 2019 covered Sport in different countries.
- Category covering female sports people by country and the category covering Sportswomen might have images that need linking to their WikiData item. To do this, click on the link to the image. When on the image page, under the image itself, click on the Structured Data tab (next to the File Image tab). Enter the name of the person featured in the image (even if the image is named after the person in the photo, it might not be linked to the corresponding item in WikiData.
