Grants talk:IdeaLab/Treat off-wiki harassment more seriously
Wikipedia is not in charge of the Internet
editI got doxxed by Wikipediocracy in 2014. Everyone known to be involved was banned from Wikipedia, but Wikipedia has zero power over external sites.
You're suggesting Wikipedia should be fighting lawsuits on the behalf of its users which are wholly unrelated to Wikipedia's mission. This is wholly undesirable; Wikipedia's job is to be an Encylopedia, not be someone's legal resource or internet army.
If you're harassed off-site, there is absolutely nothing whatsoever Wikipedia can do about it. Consult a lawyer or law enforcement. Titanium Dragon (talk) 07:57, 3 June 2016 (UTC)
Grants to improve your project
editGreetings! The Project Grants program is currently accepting proposals for funding. The deadline for draft submissions is tommorrow. If you have ideas for software, offline outreach, research, online community organizing, or other projects that enhance the work of Wikimedia volunteers, start your proposal today! Please encourage others who have great ideas to apply as well. Support is available if you want help turning your idea into a grant request.
- Submit a grant request
- Learn from examples of completed Individual Engagement Grants or Project and Event Grants
The next open call for Project Grants will be in October 2016. You can also consider applying for a Rapid Grant, if your project does not require a large amount of funding, as applications can be submitted anytime. Feel free to ping me if you need help getting your proposal started. Thanks, I JethroBT (WMF) 22:49, 1 August 2016 (UTC)
