Banner/Campaign Diet:

What is the purpose of the campaign? How will you measure the success of the campaign?
Metrics - Last year 1401 articles were created during the campaign, this year we expect the same involvment. Also last year almost 70% of participants said that they have found out about contest through CN banner, so it is very important in promotion of campaign. Similar page with results will be published by the end of this year's contest with all the measurements.
What banner(s) will you use? What will be your landing page?
Landing Page - Special:MyLanguage/Ukraine's Cultural Diplomacy Month 2024

Discussion
You would like to turn on this banner on 7th of March, but 8th of March is International Womens Day. This banner will run until March 9th. Would it be possible to change your request to start after that? Please also be considerate of other banners running in March. Thanks! Ciell (talk) 12:48, 1 March 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- As far as I can see that's another type of campaign that would run since 3rd of March. I do not think there is much interference ValentynNefedov (WMUA) (talk) 20:43, 1 March 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
- They are both campaigns focused on article writing, both have a global target, both target logged-in users. WLA is also running already, which is another global targeted campaign. Sorry, we need to coordinate a bit here @ValentynNefedov (WMUA)! Ciell (talk) 08:59, 2 March 2024 (UTC) [reply ]
I do not think it is 1) fair to other campaign organizers nor 2) doing a service to users really, to display the banner in all langages and all geographies. In general, we tend to target people so to maximize impact and minimize annoyement. So why would this campaign be displayed to Hausa speakers ? Why would it be displayed in Zimbabwe ?
WLA made the deliberate choice to display itself in Africa. But Africans people also live in Ukraine. And some Ukrainians have pictures from Africa in their drawers. We could ask that the banner be displayed in all countries, including Ukraine, just in case we grab a couple of posters. We could ask that it be displayed in Ukrainian langage too. But we do not because we think there might be more interesting banners running at the same time that would be more interesting for Ukrainians and we do not want to grab attention that would be better placed.
Another example... in March... in Benin... a direct target of WLA, we also share the space with Women Month. And with Month of Francophonie. And with Quinzaine des autrices perhaps ? (I have not checked). And with Wiki Loves Folklore. All those are relevant to people living in Benin. Very relevant. I would say all those banners are more relevant than writing about Ukrainian culture. And whilst I VERY much think that it is VERY important to do diplomatic stuff around Ukraine, I doubt very much that Benin people, for whom Women day is very special, will give priority to Ukrainian diplomacy over gender issues on the 8th of March. And generally, I kinda think the Benin team, who is running WLA and likely participate to French month, would perhaps find logical to see WLA or Gender or Month of contribution banners a bit more than Ukrainian culture.
All that to say that... please... consider the public, consider your most important target and consider the kindness in sharing the space withe other organizers. Anthere on phone...
Another note about coordination... WLA made its requests about 2 MONTHS ago to precisely coordinate. You made your request end of Feb for early March and you are saying more coordination is required ?
Am going to be bold here and ask that THIS banner be only activated on March 9 by respect for ALL parties who have coordinated for weeks to have one unique banner for gender gap topics. We are dozen who made the effort... I think uk banner can wait two more days. The gender gap page is also open to everyone. Anthere.
Central Notice admin comments
- @ValentynNefedov (WMUA): I've created the campaign and cloned the banner (preview). The dark blue button wasn't very visible on the light blue background which is why I've changed its color to a yellow one from your logo. I hope that looks good to you. As soon as you have checked everything, please ping me so that I can enable the campaign. I've seen your notifications to the local village pumps.
