| display_name | "Why Partner?" |
|---|
| subtitle-1820-6230-1 | "Now, briefly, let's talk about why. Why would we want to build partnerships, what are some" |
|---|
| subtitle-6230-11060-2 | "of the reasons we may want to pursue a partnership? And again, very generally, I" |
|---|
| subtitle-11060-18650-3 | "want to offer you the idea that partnerships broadly complement your organization or" |
|---|
| subtitle-18650-20840-4 | "group's abilities. Right." |
|---|
| subtitle-20840-25700-5 | "So you have a certain set of abilities and opportunities that a partnership can" |
|---|
| subtitle-25700-32630-6 | "complement – it can expand – it can extend your group or your organization's reach." |
|---|
| subtitle-32660-37250-7 | "It can give you resources that you don't have or at least access to resources that you" |
|---|
| subtitle-37250-42620-8 | "don't have. It can give you outside expertise that your group doesn't have. And these are" |
|---|
| subtitle-42620-49370-9 | "just some of the reasons we may want to partner. But broadly again, it's to increase" |
|---|
| subtitle-49370-52700-10 | "the possibilities that your group has." |
|---|
| subtitle-53210-58010-11 | "That's why we want to partner – to get more possibilities, whether it's resources or" |
|---|
| subtitle-58010-62810-12 | "venues or money or legal advice, or any of the many things we can obtain through" |
|---|
| subtitle-62810-69440-13 | "partnership. Broadly, it's supplementing or complementing what we already have with what" |
|---|
| subtitle-69440-74210-14 | "we need that other partners or prospective partners have." |
|---|
| subtitle-74510-79580-15 | "So that's a very broad answer to the question "why should we partner?" And I want to break it" |
|---|
| subtitle-79580-83360-16 | "down into specific Wikimedia examples." |
|---|
| subtitle-84600-89880-17 | "And here are some of the reasons Wikimedia groups seek partners." |
|---|
| subtitle-90780-95910-18 | "Very briefly, and the slides, by the way, are already in the WikiLearn platform, today's" |
|---|
| subtitle-95910-100200-19 | "slides, and so you can later go and click on all of these links in case you don't know" |
|---|
| subtitle-100200-104640-20 | "these things.I don't have time to introduce all of them. But if you" |
|---|
| subtitle-104640-108300-21 | "aren't familiar with any of these things that are linked here, just click the link and" |
|---|
| subtitle-108300-114270-22 | "learn more. So we may want to partner in order to acquire more content, and that would" |
|---|
| subtitle-114270-119340-23 | "be glam partnerships, right? Libraries, archives, museums, the Wiki Education" |
|---|
| subtitle-119340-126660-24 | "Program, right? That gives us content through academic institutions. Data donations" |
|---|
| subtitle-126930-133230-25 | "these days with Wikidata, we may want data donations from bodies that have structured" |
|---|
| subtitle-133230-139200-26 | "data. All of these are kinds of partnerships. Yes, it's not clickable right now for you. On" |
|---|
| subtitle-139200-143850-27 | "the screen, the slides, the PDF with the slides is in the WikiLearn platform. You" |
|---|
| subtitle-143850-149610-28 | "can already download it right now, or you can look at it later and click the links. But" |
|---|
| subtitle-149610-155940-29 | "again, very briefly, I just want to go over these; to partner with some groups or" |
|---|
| subtitle-155940-162500-30 | "organizations in order to promote access to knowledge. Two examples are the Kiwix" |
|---|
| subtitle-162600-168660-31 | "product which is a set of software tools and services that provide offline" |
|---|
| subtitle-168660-176940-32 | "access to Wikipedia knowledge, which is very important in places where Internet access is" |
|---|
| subtitle-176940-181920-33 | "still not widely available and even the radio programs:" |
|---|
| subtitle-182070-188760-34 | "We've had radio programs in Mexico, in Nigeria, where, literally, Wikipedians went on" |
|---|
| subtitle-188760-194610-35 | "the air on a radio program and shared free knowledge, just shared free knowledge from" |
|---|
| subtitle-194610-201030-36 | "Wikipedia on the air as an example of spreading knowledge, helping knowledge reach" |
|---|
| subtitle-201630-208940-37 | "people with an obvious benefit to our mission. Access to sources, right?" |
|---|
| subtitle-209070-215640-38 | "We partner with certain organizations in order to increase our editors' access to" |
|---|
| subtitle-215640-221100-39 | "sources. For example, The Wikipedia Library, right? The Wikipedia Library, which" |
|---|
| subtitle-221100-228060-40 | "partners with commercial academic publishers to give us free licences that editors can use" |
|---|
| subtitle-228060-234000-41 | "to access paywalled resources so that they can cite things on Wikipedia." |
|---|
| subtitle-234180-241050-42 | "And by the way, what is the benefit to those publishers? Why do they agree to do that? Is" |
|---|
| subtitle-241050-250890-43 | "there a benefit or is it just a donation out of the kindness of their heart? You can just" |
|---|
| subtitle-250890-256590-44 | "unmute and answer if you have an answer. Oh, they provide access to show what's behind" |
|---|
| subtitle-256590-259730-45 | "the paywall." |
|---|
| subtitle-261170-266990-46 | "They provide a way to show what's behind the paywall, right? It's a good way to increase" |
|---|
| subtitle-266990-270380-47 | "awareness that these resources exist." |
|---|
| subtitle-270380-276890-48 | "People will run across them on Wikipedia. [someone] says "citations increase. In the academic" |
|---|
| subtitle-276890-282470-49 | "world, the more you are cited, the more valuable your material is, even if there's no" |
|---|
| subtitle-282470-289250-50 | "money involved in the citation itself." People just want the citations, et cetera. So yes," |
|---|
| subtitle-289250-293480-51 | "that was just a quick parenthetical. There are benefits to the publishers. It's not just" |
|---|
| subtitle-293480-299630-52 | "out of the kindness of their hearts. It is a partnership and so on and so forth. We can" |
|---|
| subtitle-299630-305210-53 | "partner with groups and organizations to do better outreach in order to educate our" |
|---|
| subtitle-305210-309650-54 | "readers, not even try to convert them to editors. Just teach people that Wikipedia" |
|---|
| subtitle-309650-315320-55 | "exists, how to use it, how to navigate it, etc. We can do outreach in order to recruit" |
|---|
| subtitle-315320-321620-56 | "editors, editing workshops, editathons, competitions of all kinds. We can partner" |
|---|
| subtitle-321620-326990-57 | "with organizations to receive in-kind support." |
|---|
| subtitle-327020-333110-58 | "We just gave an example of how that might not be a partnership, right? When someone just" |
|---|
| subtitle-333110-338300-59 | "gives us a venue or Wi-Fi or prizes without any benefit to themselves, then it's a" |
|---|
| subtitle-338300-345320-60 | "donation. A donation "in kind", meaning not of money, but of stuff. But you can also have a" |
|---|
| subtitle-345320-350810-61 | "partnership with an in-kind donation. As we've described the library partnership," |
|---|
| subtitle-350810-354620-62 | "where the library gives us the space. And maybe, I don't know, maybe they pay for" |
|---|
| subtitle-354620-359660-63 | "the refreshments, but they get something from it. It's a partnership, not just a donation" |
|---|
| subtitle-359690-364580-64 | "on their part. And there are legal partnerships, and there are communications" |
|---|
| subtitle-364580-369680-65 | "partnerships where we might partner in order to deliver some message to the media, some" |
|---|
| subtitle-369680-376400-66 | "joint announcement, syndication of content, et cetera, et cetera. And one last example is" |
|---|
| subtitle-376400-379940-67 | "advocacy, FOP = freedom of panorama." |
|---|
| subtitle-380120-386210-68 | "We've had some successful examples in the movement of Wikipedians partnering with other" |
|---|
| subtitle-386210-392960-69 | "non-profits and with legislators in order to promote the legislation of a freedom of" |
|---|
| subtitle-392960-398540-70 | "panorama clause in countries where the Copyright Act did not grant Freedom of" |
|---|
| subtitle-398540-403190-71 | "Panorama. And that's still an issue in many parts of the world. So again, these are" |
|---|
| subtitle-403190-408440-72 | "just a few examples of the many kinds of partnerships specifically relevant to" |
|---|
| subtitle-408440-414680-73 | "Wikimedia. Now, not all of these are relevant to you in your country, in your community, in" |
|---|
| subtitle-414680-421620-74 | "your group. But I'm trying to give a panorama of the kinds of things that are possible. All" |
|---|
| subtitle-421620-428040-75 | "of these are possible partnerships. Any questions so far about this kind of" |
|---|
| subtitle-428040-435510-76 | "definition of partnership? If not, we will move on." |
|---|
| subtitle-435540-440910-77 | "What do legislators stand to benefit from partnering to advocate for Freedom of" |
|---|
| subtitle-440910-446220-78 | "Panorama? That's an excellent question. What do legislators stand to benefit? So" |
|---|
| subtitle-446220-449970-79 | "theoretically, Freedom of Panorama is this obscure copyright issue that the general" |
|---|
| subtitle-449970-454770-80 | "public doesn't really know about or care about, and people violate copyright anyway." |
|---|
| subtitle-455010-460560-81 | "But if you think about it, if you are able to get a legislator interested in promoting" |
|---|
| subtitle-460560-467280-82 | "Freedom of Panorama, it's a change to the law that doesn't cost the state anything." |
|---|
| subtitle-467520-472110-83 | "It's literally just changing the law. It doesn't require budgeting. It doesn't require" |
|---|
| subtitle-472380-477390-84 | "difficult political maneuvers. And if you are able to make that change, then you, the" |
|---|
| subtitle-477390-483870-85 | "legislator, the politician get to be the bringer of Freedom of Panorama to people. And" |
|---|
| subtitle-483870-488430-86 | "again, with a little bit of good communication, you can treat it as an" |
|---|
| subtitle-488430-492810-87 | "achievement. You can tell people, "Hey, until now, technically you couldn't take a picture" |
|---|
| subtitle-492810-498300-88 | "of this famous building that you all know; now you can!" Now it's legal, right? That is" |
|---|
| subtitle-498300-502800-89 | "a positive message that I think many politicians would love to be," |
|---|
| subtitle-502800-508140-90 | "signed underneath, especially when, again, they don't need to come up with a budget for" |
|---|
| subtitle-508140-512460-91 | "it. They don't need to move mountains to make it happen. It's literally a simple change to" |
|---|
| subtitle-512460-519090-92 | "the law. So that's an example of something that they may stand to benefit from helping" |
|---|
| subtitle-519090-524040-93 | "legislate that. Another question here: "What about commercial partnerships, especially in" |
|---|
| subtitle-524040-531390-94 | "relation to Wikivoyage, with a tour operator or an airline?" That is a very good question" |
|---|
| subtitle-531390-532980-95 | "and a tricky one." |
|---|
| subtitle-533010-538680-96 | "Commercial partnerships are, of course, difficult for us as a non-profit and as" |
|---|
| subtitle-538680-544860-97 | "a body that is committed to neutrality. And Wikivoyage in that sense is a bit of an" |
|---|
| subtitle-546300-552180-98 | "unusual Wikimedia project in that it by its very nature, when it mentions three" |
|---|
| subtitle-552180-556230-99 | "restaurants in the city, the fact that it mentions these three restaurants and not" |
|---|
| subtitle-556230-562650-100 | "other restaurants is itself a little non neutral. So there's a whole" |
|---|
| subtitle-562770-569820-101 | "mess of of neutrality issues around Wikivoyage that is fairly difficult to negotiate." |
|---|
| subtitle-569820-576840-102 | "But theoretically, yes, there could be some kind of very narrow overlap with a commercial" |
|---|
| subtitle-577650-585990-103 | "tourism operator of some sort. For example, let's say we have the National Tourism Board" |
|---|
| subtitle-585990-590790-104 | "in some country, and they're there. Their goal as the National Tourism Board is to" |
|---|
| subtitle-590790-596420-105 | "increase tourism, to make sure as many tourist dollars [as possible] are spent in the country." |
|---|
| subtitle-596430-602520-106 | "They don't particularly care if it's at this hotel or that hotel and this attraction or" |
|---|
| subtitle-602520-606900-107 | "that attraction, they just want more people to fly into the country and spend tourist" |
|---|
| subtitle-606900-611190-108 | "dollars. So that's their broad goal. It is not quite a commercial goal. It's kind of a" |
|---|
| subtitle-611190-616980-109 | "national economic goal, and that is a potential partner to the Wikimedia movement." |
|---|
| subtitle-617250-623850-110 | "If we can find again that narrow overlap where our interests match, and, again, we'll" |
|---|
| subtitle-623850-631130-111 | "talk about [it] a little more in a future lesson. But just to even out this example:" |
|---|
| subtitle-631200-635790-112 | "the National Tourism Board is very likely, for example, to have really high class" |
|---|
| subtitle-635790-641880-113 | "photography of all kinds of amazing sights, as in sightseeing, right?" |
|---|
| subtitle-642120-648060-114 | "Things to see in the country, like great professional photography of amazing nature" |
|---|
| subtitle-648060-653220-115 | "and waterfalls and wild animals, and I don't know what, that they could release under a" |
|---|
| subtitle-653220-658170-116 | "free license. Right. They're unlikely to if we don't ask, as Wikimedians. But if we tell" |
|---|
| subtitle-658170-664110-117 | "them, "Look, you want to promote tourism to your country, we don't have a lot of good" |
|---|
| subtitle-664110-669450-118 | "media about the sites in your country. If you release these images under a free license, we" |
|---|
| subtitle-669450-673590-119 | "can start illustrating articles with these amazing" |
|---|
| subtitle-673590-679350-120 | "photographs and people can go, 'Oh wow, I had no idea such a thing exists in, say, Nigeria." |
|---|
| subtitle-679680-687000-121 | "Now I'm interested.'" So that's an example of a narrow potential overlap that we could have" |
|---|
| subtitle-687000-692880-122 | "with even a an organization that is absolutely not neutral point of view, right?" |
|---|
| subtitle-692920-697560-123 | "An organization that is absolutely trying to convince you that this country is the best or" |
|---|
| subtitle-697560-702570-124 | "that this site is is what you want to see. We can still negotiate some narrow thing that we" |
|---|
| subtitle-702570-708360-125 | "can agree on, which would benefit both sides and which would preserve us as neutral." |
|---|
