:'''Pre-preparations'''

:In July 2014, the Pangasinan Wikipedia community initiated the edit-a-thon by contacting Jojit Ballesteros and Butch Bustria who facilitated the very first Wikimedia event in Pangasinan last November 2012. The community wanted a follow-up on the first event. After a series of communication, August 25, 2014 was the date set for the event. After referring this to Johnny Alegre, President of Wikimedia Philippines (WMPH), a proposal was sent for the WMPH Board's approval. The proposal was formally approved on August 22, 2014.

:As agreed with the Pangasinan Wikipedia community, there have been volunteers including veteran Wikipedians from Manila that helped in conducting the edit-a-thon since most of the expected participants are newbies. The Pangasinan Wikipedia community chose JR Padilla as the Project Lead for the whole project while Vanj Padilla who is also from the Pangasinan Wikipedia community mobilized the participants.

:Volunteers from Manila were originally composed of Johnny Alegre, Jojit Ballesteros, Bel Ballesteros and Eric Calica. Eric informed the Manila volunteers that he cannot make it to the event and Butch Bustria became his replacement. Jojit served as the resource speaker for the pre-edit-a-thon lecture while Bel and Butch assisted in answering questions from the participants during the actual edit-a-thon. At the end of the event, Butch also presented Wikivoyage and some of the possible articles to improve. Johnny was there for administration tasks and answering questions from the press.

:Jojit and Bel arrived in Lingayen, Pangasinan the night (10:30 pm) before the actual event while Johnny arrived around 2:00 am on August 25. They were welcomed by Vanj during their breakfast. Butch arrived at around 11:00 am on August 25.

:'''Actual event'''

=== Lessons learned ===

<!---What lessons were learned that may help others succeed in similar projects? Consider the following questions and respond with 1 - 2 short paragraphs. --->

:;What worked well?

# Everyone was able to collaborate with each other and became familiar on wiki editing.

# Majority of the participants were able to edit articles and even some tried to upload some pictures.

# The Pangasinan Wikipedia community had strong coordination skills. They were able to mobilize the participants well.

# Everyone was able to create usernames. Although several of the participants have the same IP addresses, they were still able to have their usernames because of the presence of a Wikipedia administrator, Jojit Ballesteros, who created the usernames for them. The six users cap per IP address was no longer a problem.

:;What didn't work?

#Participants were having trouble on where to get sources. It could have been better if the participants were taught on how and where to get sources for the Wikipedia articles. This could have been included in the pre-edit-a-thon lecture.

#An administrator in the English Wikipedia blocked an IP address that affected some of the participants. The affected users were advised to connect to another broadband router and continue their editing.

#Two participants were not able to edit because they did not bring their own laptops.

#The localization of the Pangasinan Wikipedia interface was not carried out because the organizing team decided that since most are newbies, they are not expected to edit the interface messages and the localization became optional for the event.

:;What would you do differently if you planned a similar project? <!---Please also include if you would measure the success of the project differently -->

:If we are going to plan a similar project, I suggest doing the planning at least two months before the main event.

<!--

=== Learning patterns ===

You may either create ONE NEW [[metawikipedia:Grants:Learning_patterns|learning pattern]], OR endorse 2 EXISTING learning patterns and add a point specific to your project under "Considerations" or "Examples" in the pattern. Don't forget to add a link to this report as a reference in the reference list of the pattern. Once you have your pattern(s), please add the link(s) below.-->

==Outcomes and impact ==

===Outcomes===

;Provide the original project goal here.

:The main goal of this project is to increase contributions to the Pangasinan Wikipedia, which includes creating and editing articles and the localization of the interface. Aside from writing articles in the Pangasinan Wikipidia, the participants may also add content to other Wikimedia projects such as, but not limited to; uploading pictures to Wikimedia Commons and enhancing Pangasinan-related articles in other language versions of Wikipedia. The project also aims to better the editing skills of the Pangasinan Wikipedia community.

;Did you achieve your project goal? How do you know your goal was achieved? Please answer in 1 - 2 short paragraphs.

:Although the localization of the Pangasinan Wikipedia interface was not carried out, the goals for this project were achieved remarkably. There are twenty-five (25) persons attended the event and the top 10 contributors had more than 41,000 characters worth of text added to the Wikimedia projects exceeding the goals that were set. All of the participants registered and they were asked to write down their Wikimedia username. Most of them are newbies and they already chosen their username during the registration.

:Jojit Ballesteros, the facilitator of the event, has taken note of the usernames of each participant. After the actual edit-a-thon, he counted all of the characters of each participant through the “global edit summary” and the “recent changes” of each project that the participants have been through. After tallying all of the contributions by the facilitator, it was known that the total contributions of the top 10 contributors are over 41,000 characters. The total characters contributed by the participants is 59,815 characters.

<!--Leave the template that follows when you have added all of your global metrics-->

;Learning question: Did your work increase the motivation of contributors, and how do you know?

:Aside from the eagerness of participants to continue editing after the edit-a-thon, they are also requesting to have similar activities in the future. In this regard, it can be said that they were motivated.

===Impact===

What impact did this project have on WMF's [[metawikipedia:mission|mission]] and the [[metawikipedia:Grants:PEG/Strategic_Priorities|strategic priorities]]?

<!---We've provided 3 options below for the strategic priorities that PEG projects are mostly likely to impact. Please answer briefly.-->

''How did you increase participation in one or more Wikimedia projects?''

:The mere fact that most of the participants are newbies, their edits during the event can be considered as an increase participation in Wikimedia projects.

''How did you improve quality on one or more Wikimedia projects?''

:Because they are the native Pangasinan speakers, they are the ones who know how to improve the quality of the Pangasinan Wikipedia. Many have suggested better wordings of the articles.

''How did you increase the reach (readership) of one or more Wikimedia projects?''

:The [[wikipedia:en:Pangasinan language|Pangasinan language]] is around 2.4 million speakers, which is the 8<sup>th</sup> most spoken language in the Philippines out of more than 100 languages spoken in the Philippines. The contributions of this edit-a-thon will potentially help distribute free knowledge in the Pangasinan language and increase the reach of the Wikimedia movement to the Pangasinan speaking people.
