What's after FEB24[edit]

Hey, what should we do after the FEB24 drive has ended? How could we sustain the momentum and make people engaged in the goal? CactiStaccingCrane (talk) 14:54, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@CactiStaccingCrane - good question. I was thinking of something similar to what Women in Red (see the above post) do with online events, monthly themes, tips, etc. Getting a newsletter post out monthly to all FEB24 participants would be a great way to sustain engagement (we could aim for a March 15th deadline for tallying and releasing the metrics from FEB24) that spotlights certain areas that might be neglected, partnering with other WikiProjects as a reciprocal cleanup service for exposure (we'll reference articles related to your project in exchange for visibility), etc. There are a lot of options - I think the monthly newsletter is probably the best one just to keep the URA on editors' minds. What do you think? Kazamzam (talk) 15:03, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think we should do all of these at some point in the future, and also FYI, there's a mailing list at Wikipedia:WikiProject Unreferenced articles/Mailing list. For now, I've also outlined some of the stuff that we should do at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Unreferenced_articles#Awarding_the_barnstars.
