=====WIKIEXPEDITIONS=====
+
Over the years Wikimedia Eesti has built up a tradition of organizing wikiexpeditions. They have been mostly related to gathering pictures about specific objects or noteworthy regions. In relation to our 2013 grant two types of expeditions were organized: 1) expedition related to our Latvia 100 (Läti 100) project and 2) expeditions related to Wiki Loves Earth and Wiki Loves Monuments competitions, i.e. natural and cultural heritage of Estonia.
+
+
'''<u>Activities:</u>'''
+
*Organizing the expedition: gathering background information, forming the expedition team, planning the expedition route,
+
*Executing the expedition,
+
*Processing pictures and uploading them to Commons, linking the pictures to articles.
+
+
'''<u>Results:</u>'''
+
+
The wikiexpedition in Southern Estonia and Northern Latvia took place from the 31st of August to the !st of September 2013 and resulted in 446 pictures uploaded to the Commons, 3 of them assessed as quality images.
+
+
The wikiexpedition related to natural and cultural heritage of Estonia took place after the end of the grant term and the processing of pictures has not yet been finished.
+
+
'''<u>Fit to strategy:</u>'''
+
+
''Participation'' - Wikiexpedition motivates Wikipedians to also making photos with encyclopedic value and participating in Wikimedia Commons,
+
+
''Quality'' - The main aim of organizing wikiexpeditions is increasing the quality of Wikipedia (creating images with encyclopedic value that can then be integrated into relevant Wikipedia articles), as well as contributing quality images to Commons,
+
+
''Innovation'' - As wikiexpeditions are not yet widespread in Wikimedia community, organizing wikiexpeditions also in Estonia supports the innovation on this field.
+
+
'''<u>Short analysis:</u>'''
+
+
Wikiexpeditions are very fruitful activities and Wikimedia Eesti is also content with the results of the expeditions of this year. 446 contributed pictures from Latvian expedition exceeds by far the set measure of success (150 pictures). This year the main concentration was on making of pictures and there were no significant efforts of networking.
+
+
'''<u>Future:</u>'''
+
+
Wikimedia Eesti will continue to organize wikiexpeditions, especially in relation to the international photo competitions Wiki Loves Monuments and Wiki Loves Earth (in order to receive targeted contributions). There will be an effort to ensure a higher quality of pictures made on an expedition. As a mean to achieve that goal, we will reach out to photo clubs, which will also make expeditions work in support of our outreach efforts.
