سایر اطلاعات (اختیاری)
اطلاعات جمع آوری شده در این بخش در ویکی کنفرانس منتشر نخواهد شد و سوالات ممکن است خالی باشند (آنها اختیاری هستند).
- Past presentation. If you have presented previously at Wikimania, please give the Full URL link to the session description from that Wikimania's program page. If there is no link to the slides or recording of your session on that page, and one exists, please link to it as well. If you have presented more than once, please link to the most recent. If you have NOT presented at any previous Wikimania conference, please leave this field blank. The purpose of this question is to identify statistically how many "first time Wikimania presenters" are accepted this year, and to cross-reference past-presenters previous submission descriptions with their current submission.
- Gender. Please indicate your gender, or leave blank if you prefer not to say. The purpose of this question is to determine the gender-ratio of accepted speakers at the conference.
- Language. Please indicate your native language or "mother tongue", or leave blank. The purpose of this question is to determine how many different native languages are spoken by the accepted speakers of the conference. Equally it will determine what proportion of accepted speakers will be presenting in English as a native language or as a second (etc.) language. If you feel you speak multiple languages natively, choose the one with the smaller number of speakers!
- Scholarship. Please indicate if you have received a full, or partial, scholarship from the Wikimedia Foundation or a Wikimedia Chapter. Or leave blank if you prefer not to say. The purpose of this question is to determine what proportion of accepted speakers are scholarship recipients.
- Special requests. If you have any special requests, such as a non-standard presentation format or duration, please mention it here.

To make a submission for Wikimania 2018, clicking the link below and follow the instructions.
Submissions will be made privately via the EasyChair conference management software. If you have used EasyChair for a conference submission in the past, including for Wikimania 2016 Esino Lario, you can re-use that username/password.
The Deadline for conference submissions is 23:59 UTC on Sunday March 18, 2018
Authors will be notified in early May, 2018 of submissions acceptance or rejection.
If your proposal is accepted and you need an invitation letter to apply for a visa, please read and follow the instructions on that page.
If your submission is not accepted, please do not be discouraged. Wikimania 2018 will have time set aside in the schedule for participants and attendees to participate in unofficial, self-organized talks and working groups. You will have many opportunities to bring topics forward on-site, as well as socializing and sharing ideas casually. Presenters that are not accepted are also welcome to submit lightning talks and posters, which will be considered as space permits.
پرسش های مکرر
- Why is there a theme, and must all presentations relate to it?
- Please read the blogpost about the Wikimania theme to learn about it, and why it was chosen. All presentation submissions must relate to the theme or, if they do not, they must explain in the session description why they are sufficiently important topics to justify an exemption. Therefore, the theme will be "tightly held, but loosely defined" - the program committee encourages applicants to make submissions which respond to the theme in innovative ways. For example: 'software localisation' is a topic which can be described in the 'access and accessibility' framework for the theme.
- Why are we using a separate website to accept submissions, rather than on-Wiki like in previous years?
- The most important piece of feedback from last year's program committee was that the "Wiki submission and email tools completely failed". This meant a LOT of extra manual work and delays. As a result we have moved to using software dedicated for the purposes of conference submission management. Because it is a private form (not public on-wiki) this also means we can ask non-public information to help improve the diversity of the conference presentations. To mitigate the loss of transparency that the on-wiki system provided, we will be publishing the title, author, and abstract of ALL presentation submissions on this wiki after the program committee has made its decisions. We are using the software EasyChair which does require submitters to register an account. However, it was also used for Wikimania 2016, meaning that if you submitted a proposal for that Wikimania you can re-use those login details.
- Can I propose a session in a language other than English?
- English will be the standard language of the conference, however you may make a proposal for a presentation in a language other than English. The proposal itself must still be in English so that the committee can review it. If you wish to present in another language you should explain why you believe there will be sufficient audience attending Wikimania Cape Town who will understand, and benefit from, a non-English presentation. One way you can do this is by linking to a discussion on your home-wiki where a lot of people express interest in attending such a session. It would be helpful if you could also demonstrate that the probable attendees of your session come from multiple countries. If several popular sessions for a specific language are submitted, the program design may accommodate placing all those sessions together in a group together. Please be aware, that professional translation/interpretation services will not be provided at Wikimania Cape Town.
- Is there a water shortage in Cape Town? Will this affect Wikimania?
- See Water shortage.
- Will making a proposal for a presentation help my chances in receiving a scholarship?
- No. There is no relationship between the selection criteria for scholarships and the program. One of the [optional] questions for program submissions does ask if you received a scholarship, but this is only for statistical purposes - so we can report what proportion of submissions are made by people with scholarships, and what proportion of the eventual program is being presented by scholarship holders.
Reviewing criteria
At least two members of the Program Committee reviewed each submission, more if there is a wide gap between their qualitative and quantitative responses. The quantitative 'scores' and qualitative reviewing comments will not be made public - as to do so would impede the ability of the committee to review honestly and (especially in the case of the quantitative review) would give a misleading impression of "numerical rank" being the only criteria. Whereas instead many other factors (including timeslots available, presenters who can no longer attend, duplicate presentation subjects, and convenient grouping of subjects) come in to play. If you are a submitter and wish to receive specific feedback on your proposal, please contact the committee. Unfortunately, the "EasyChair" system does not allow the submissions themselves to be made publicly - if it were we would have chosen that option, as that would have reduced the number of submissions on the same subject by different people.
Notwithstanding the above, in order to provide some transparency into the process, the rubric that all committee members use for the first round of reviewing is as follows:
- "Link to theme: Does the proposal respond to the theme 'bridging knowledge gaps'? If not, does it justify why the proposal is sufficiently significant to justify inclusion nonetheless?"
- 4: Very strong and clearly explained link to theme
- 2: Acceptable link to theme, adequate description
- 1: Not linked to theme, but with adequate justification for being an exception
- 0: Loose or poorly described link to theme
- -2: No obvious link to theme, no justification for exception made
- "Clear session outcome: Will the attendees (or the presenter) learn or create something as a result of this presentation? Is there a clear benefit for this presentation being delivered in person at this event?"
- 3: Strong expected outcomes for audience and presenter, clearly thought through
- 1: Some learning outcomes described
- 0: Relevant submission, but unclear who would benefit an in-person presentation
- -2: Merely a description of a past or ongoing project, no expected learning outcomes
- -4: Not relevant for this event
- "First time presenter: If accepted, will this be the author's first time presenting at any Wikimania?"
- 1: Yes
- 0: No
- "Presenter from the local region: Is the presenter from sub-Saharan Africa?"
- 1: Yes
- 0: No
- "General evaluation: What is your overall impression of this submission for this event?"
- 4: Strong accept
- 2: Accept
- 1: Weak accept
- 0: Can't decide
- -1: Weak reject
- -2: Reject
- -4: Not relevant for this event
Following these quantitative fields, the reviewer is also asked to provide the following qualitative review:
- "Evaluation comment: A short overall review comment. Why should this be accepted or rejected? Add any comments to other reviewers"
Finally, the reviewer is also asked to confirm the format type/length, and language.
