How do we help? edit

Liaising with institutions: Especially through our Wikimedians in Residence, the charity seeks to persuade cultural institutions to release their images under a Creative Commons license. If you have something on your wishlist, get in touch with info wikimedia.org.bd

Supporting open knowledge edit

One of the charity's strategic goals is to develop open knowledge. One of the measures Wikimedia Bangladesh uses to assess the impact on the quality of open knowledge is the number of Featured (FP), Quality (QI), and Valued Images (VI) supported by the chapter. Below is a sample of some of the files which have been through the various quality assessment processes. More can be found here: FPs, QIs, and VIs.
