We will discuss metrics for tracking at the SEPT meeting

In the September 2024 BHL-Wiki Working group meeting the first hypothesis statement was amended to: “If the BHL-Wikimedia Working Group adds standardised descriptive metadata to their images sourced from publications describing South American or Sub Sahara African species, they will increase the utilisation of images of underrepresented Biodiversity.” This amended hypothesis was seen as being Hmore connected to the BHL-Wiki working groups work.

The following amendments to this hypothesis statement was proposed. New option, split into two: Q2: If the BHL-Wikimedia Working Group creates Commons categories and descriptive guidelines for the South American and/or Sub-Saharan African species depicted in publications, they will make 5,000 images more accessible to biodiversity communities. Q2: OCT-DEC (WiR + BHL-WIKI WG would be the owner of Q2) Q3: If 5,000 well-described images of South American and/or Sub-Saharan African species are released to the wider biodiversity community through 2-3 editing events and an on-wiki worklist, 500* new images will be utilized on Spanish and French Wikimedia projects. (Gio would be the organizer of the Q3 event(s). How to measure? We need to track the state before and the state afterwards. Using categories Deliverables Commons categories Descriptive guidelines 2-3 events Worklist 500 images used in Wikimedia projects Reporting Process It was agreed that the github board could be used to track the WMF hypothesis? Categories and other thoughts Further discussion was needed about how to track the outcomes of the WMF hypothesis including the possible creation of Wikimedia Commons categories. The BHL-Wiki Working group agreed in the September meeting to broaden the hypothesis by changing "Sub-Saharan Africa" location to "Africa". This aligns with Flickr tags as well as category and location metadata within BHL thus making it easier for editors to find content from the appropriate location to work on in Wikimedia Commons.

As at September 2024 discussion on the above proposal is still on going.
