Hi, had student interns work in Summer 2020 and Summer 2021 to create short 'how to' videos for aspects of Wikipedia, Wikidata, Commons and Wikisource. Hannah received an Open Education Global award for creating 20+ open-licensed videos during lockdown and sharing to YouTube , our Media Hopper channel and new website. Can get these converted and shared to Commons but agree better short explainer videos and keeping them up-to-date could be really impactful. Not looked at making IG-ready or Tiktok-ready content but huge audience out there if 1 min vids can be created.

That's fair enough. Been a while since I last had to request this so had forgotten the process.
Will see if I can make a note of the steps involved so I can get this done in good time on next occasion.
Thanks for all your help on this anyway.

Have left message of Wikidata admin noticeboard also

A few will have accounts but majority will not. Therefore can we go ahead please.

BTW, we can only allow your participants to create 20 accounts from one IP address (cirumcimvent the six account limit). They will be still counted as newbie and will hit any newbie limits (8 edits per minute from one IP, counting all newbies from that IP together). If you want the software to stop applying newbie limits to some user, you can manually add "confirmed" flag to the users (any sysop can do it).

There are efforts to change this behaiviour, but this is how it is now.

In addition:

Hi, IT helpdesk have advised as follows:

Checking with our IT helpdesk as to whether this is the case. Possibly a new account issue if so.

Time window would be 11am to 3pm GMT

Hi, yes, have looked into this a bit more with the university's network team.

Yes, the time of the hackathon will be 12:30pm to 4:30pm GMT (Edinburgh) but an 08:00 UTC to 22:00 UTC should give us more flexibility . Thanks.

The Translation Studies MSc course at the University of Edinburgh would like to continue to offering the 4000 word Wikipedia translation assignment in future years but one particular area of concern has been how hard it has been for the students to select a suitable article to translate.
The chosen article must:

1. Be 4000 words long approx.
2. Be Well-referenced / sufficient quality or importance.
3. Not exist in the target Wikipedia.
4. Be of sufficient language challenge (evaluated by the tutor)
5. Be on a suitable subject matter / be of interest to them.
