Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 7 The underlying reason of growth of the Wikimedia movement is its thriving contributors community. So the sustainable and inclusive community would result in a better and more effective affiliates ecosystem.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 8 Because the health of our community and inclusive communities bring good relations between Wikipedians/Wikimedians and a serene, relaxed, and collaborative atmosphere. So expert wikipedians works quietly, produce good content, people from outside (potential new users) feel happy to attend when there are conflicts
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 9 We can get a global reach but if we keep our digital ambiences as toxic or rejecting new people and thoughts, we won't arrive so far.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 10 I think is the most important. A healthy community assure all diversities (by gender, by language, by culture) & inclusion, participation of expert and new wikipedians, helps to resolve the conflicts, create a serene atmosphere etc.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 11 Without a healthy community, nothing else would work.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 12 I don't think our effort towards a healthy and inclusive community would result in considerable tradeoffs. It might happen that some large affiliate would get lesser fund (in their APG or other grant processes), as more emerging and thriving affiliate would be provided with funds in a pragmatic sense to realize their potential. But it's probability is much since by that time, we would have a bigger budget to meet the overall demand of the affiliates. Other aspects of tradeoff would affect the movement, since the investment in healthy community would definitely pay off in some aspects or the other i.e. spread of the movement, more sustainability etc.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 13 Maybe we will find better ways to communicate, like facebook, what’s app, etc, doesn’t happen on wiki, maybe we can figure that out better.

It is supposed to make the movement effective. However, the premise seems lacking.; The environment of Wikipedia is still becoming more and more hostile. Newcomers would be intimidated by bureaucratic editors and administrators. More and more long-time editors are leaving the project. Meanwhile, Wikipedia's sister projects do not have the same attention as Wikipedia.; On the plus side, readers matter more, and diversity of readers should make Wikipedia more diverse and welcome. The issue of editors matters more to make the theme very effective. Otherwise, this theme is worthless.

The largest is an explicit threat to individualism. In the end it is individual authors who make individual contributions. Surely guided by their own social experiences within and outside of wikipedia. While building communities is a great tool, and can achieve many important things, we need to specify clearly the individual rights, responsibilities and their protection from community pressure or even violation from community corruption. Surely we will have mechanisms in place to make communities inclusive, balanced and applying of the same criteria to everyone, but we should still implant protections for the individual contributor and their contributions (when within the established wikipedia customs and guidelines.

If we want to keep to the mission of the project to accumulate all of humanity's knowledge then we need to reflect that in our communities. We can't just be english speaking or only men or only abled people. We must include all visions of this world that we live in so that we can promote inclusivity not only in the Wikimedia projects, but so that it is also reflected in the world we live in. We should be able to promote absolutely no discrimination, obstacles for less abled people, etc. If we follow this theme, it will directly reflect on our world, when people hear that there's no division in gender, socioeconomic status, physical abilities, etc in the Wikimedia projects, it'll be easier for them to imagine a world where that is true as well.

Editing on Wikimedia projects will be more meaningful and educational. We will accept diversity, and the content will reflect differing points of view and be more neutral. We will have different types of technology so people of all backgrounds can participate at their comfort and ability level. We will include more sources of information that include different types of history (e.g., oral histories) in various cultures. Finally, by achieving Healthy, Inclusive Communities, we will build the world’s first source of collective, inclusive, unbiased human knowledge, an historic achievement for humans.
WikiConference North America User Group A WikiConference North America User Group Slack Slack 3 1 Having a healthy, inclusive community is the top priority. Wikimedia, being a community-driven movement, requires a healthy and inclusive community to be successful. Without a healthy community, none of the other themes will be successful. Harassment, a lack of support for newcomers, and a lack of motivation for long-term contributors is detrimental to sustainability. On the flipside, a healthy, inclusive community will bring and retain people to help make the other themes a reality.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 2 A healthy and inclusive community is the basis for all the work we do in the movement and guarantees a diversity of people and perspectives to be included in the knowledge that we co-create.

By people I mean all people who want to contribute, not just the nice sociable folk but also the ones who do not like to much (or any) interaction, people who are otherwise aggressive, people who in the real world as shunned as weird or even people who are considered unfit to do any work. Some of these people find their way in Wikimedia projects and it is up to us to keep them and help them be productive, as well as to be happy due to their creative work. In my experience, even some of the most productive editors are scolded and pushed to stop, even if they do one little, repeating, mistake or ommission.
Affiliation Committee A Affiliations Committee virtual video call 7 5 Healthy and inclusive communities' is the most crucial theme as long as we want a very sustainable and thriving Wikimedia movement. The community or the volunteers are the ones who keep this movement alive. We haven't reached every part of this world in a robust way and many communities are yet to be part of our movement. Since we want to see the movement to be spread across the world more than ever before, we need to have a healthy community that is inclusive as well.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 222 Massive, but I'll say that with all the other themes. I see them as different facets of the same goal. An healthy, inclusive community is a growing and adaptable community: if we reach that, we'll automatically gain diversity, expertise, quality, coverage, including communities of experts that right now are scared or ignorant of Wikipedia (at least, from the "inside"). Of course, a inclusive community with a 20-years old interface is crippled. But community is paramount, and we need to take care of that.

The impact will be the product of the effectiveness of the program activities that will be executed in this theme and the number of people reached by this program. Activities in this program will reach veteran editors, other editors and numerous new comers in the coming decade. Prepare to measure 'sense of community' in each community every year. Prepare to master 'community management'. Have functionaries assume responsibility for community health.

Soft skills are important for the survival of people, as human has now strong bond to the global network via technology. Soft skills are or can be cultivated and grown inside Wiki communities. Healthy communities are more productive and survive, when the work product there is not based in the excellence of knowledge but in the excellence of cooperation. This emotional intelligence is rarely cultivated through standard education across the globe but Wikis live on this. Taking care of community health is not good only for wiki communities but also spreads to the planet.

We have to continue to exclude people who want to damage the project, wasting less time on them. On the other side we need to dedicate more time to people who sincerely want to contribute but may have some difficulties. We need to proactively search for new users with targeted campaigns, not at random. Events like edit-a-thons and GLAM projects need to have experienced users involved. Wikimedia Foundation and chapters should be more integrated with the community of editors. (Phyrexian)

Volunteer work should be easy – support for volunteers needs to be flexible and adaptable. Reducing the the complexity concerning legal and financial processes around grant making or the usage of Wikimedia trademarks would decrease the overhead costs on the side of the WMF, save volunteer time and decrease the hurdle for many volunteers to get involved in first place. We are an online movement and should be careful not to loose the power and strengths that come with that by overinstitutionalizing things in a way the offline world works. As an affiliate organization we are aware that this line is not always easy to draw, but would still encourage to constantly question such developments and where possible favour flexibility over security.

It is also problematic that the community finds it easier to punish the newcomers than to deal with misbehaviors by experienced users.

And it already shows signs of this ill definition. Look at the use of the word "fun", it is ill defined, it is subject to a lot of interpretation and misinterpretation. This attitude especially when coupled with social pressure or even coercion in the form of communities can turn the best of intentions into a road to hell. Extreme caution, and possibly research into constitutions and other forms of organized well being of humans should be advised. There is one thing often quoted about law and government, it sometimes moves with glacial pace, for changes in human relations this is a good thing, not a bad thing. For changes of how wikipedia values individuals and their contributions in relations to groups of individuals (where politics and leadership often emerge) is of critical importance.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 187 I believe that all the other four themes will be enriched if we have a diverse community first. It's not about making Wikipedia easy for a specific demographic to use, for example, it's about including everyone so that they themselves will make those ideas possible. So, people who want something more interactive can make that a reality, people who want to include people from countries not included so far will also make that a reality, etc.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 54 Immediate response to problematic edits or vandalism is to remove them on the spot. Would be great to see shift towards trying to figure out what the editors goal is (for example, trying to do something productive like adding a source to an article) and see if we can see past the bad result of their effort and instead help them get to a good result. Assume more good faith, perhaps?

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 197 This is the most important, as there are clear trends for pushing out users, (unfortunately successful at times), making use of hostile and aggresive stands by people who represent the supposed "good and righteous" users (at least in their opinion). This trend would leave Wikimedia with a conforming 10% of its existing users, with all the negative effects of such one-sided group (not to mention the much smaller participation). Proof of that is the violent pushing out of at least five users of elwiki and continued attempts for another 3-4. Please note that the active users are about 40, so we are talking abourt two digit percentages of the active users.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 213 Honestly I can't think of a more important theme than this one. Biased information is incomplete, or even wrong.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 56 It's going to get harder because when you bring more voices into the movement, people will disagree etc. It's balancing, self-fulfilling.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 223 It's fundamental, because without community we are an empty shell. With a deranged community, we could be another 4chan or Reddit. Or, worse, a non-neutral encyclopedia that poses as neutral.

Healthy is better than sick, alive is better than dead. We don't have to elaborate on that. Regarding the communities there are 2 differenct aspects that are much more interesting. Doesn't such a strategic come down to disempowering the communities? It is obiously not the job of the WMF to perform mircale cures on the communities. And how else can we understand such a shadowless goal? Mr Wales with his "toxic users" comes to my mind straight away. But such target projections are only possible at the price of ignoring real conflicts, contentious issues and peculiarities of the community. A "positive" goal would rather be to search for patterns for strong contradictions within the community (and between communities and between the communities and WMF). But this would not be a goal of the WMF.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [67] Local wiki 7 1 This theme is the most important one strategically. Because only a functioning Wikipedia community can guarantee a future.

Furthermore we will still have obsolete articles that are not updated, even with a higher number of editors. So if the goal is wrong, how can the strategy leading there work?
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [73] Local wiki 7 14 I have the impression that with the reference to "health" they are talking about something vaguely positive, but nobody knows what it actually is.

The most important aspect of the text: we are supposed to encourage. But who? And how? If everyone has a different approach and does like he/she always did nothing will change. My proposal: endure changes, be bold, explain changes (summary and user/article discussion pages, reach a consensus). The revert button is useful, but it's not only used to avert damage, but to retain states of things. Which of the 2 is vandalism?

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 149 We have become increasingly viewed as gatekeepers, especially in the social and human domains. It is very easy to add science articles to wikipedia, even those with little more than speculative research. It has become increasingly hard to add socially relevant entries to Wikipedia (as if we live in an era of scarcity where to store bits and bytes). Criteria such as notability have been interpreted by humans, rather than by algorithms. I.e. xyz might have lots of search engine searches associated with their name, yet are not take in because of a human induced notability factor. Why? Its not like we are running out of encyclopedia shelf space or we a running out of byte space?! We should reconsider this whole approach. I am very afraid that communities will only serve as more gate-keeping. And creating an artificial scarcity effect. The difference between a small contributor to humankind (say Tatjana Bezjak) and a huge contributor to human kind (say Pablo Picaso) should be in the body and quality of the text explaining their significance and contributions - and not in the fact whether they deserve or not a wikipedia entry (byte counting). The quality of the source is precisely in that it is Alexandria in a way and stores all of the known vetted information.

Also, they should respect each other's viewpoints rather than descend into pointless contests about who's right or wrong.

To souvisí se snížením počtu osobních útoků, ale i neúcty k práci jednotlivých editorů. Zatím se tato problematika nechávala na komunitách, ty ale zatím nedokázaly tato negativní jevy odstranit. Proto by se mělo pracovat na jejich odstranění. Druhá věc je inkluzivní komunita, která zahrnuje dvě složky: technologickou a společenskou. Je potřeba tvrdě pracovat a konečně dokončit zejdnodušení editovanání (např. na Wikimedia Commons). Kdyby nebylo přispívání do Commons tak časově náročné, je možné, že by přispívalo daleko více lidí, kteří již pracují. Kdyby byla dostupná online literatura (a dnes již existují fulltextové knihovnice), třeba by přispívalo více lidí, kteří již pracují a nemají tolik času, jako když studovali. Dále se dá pracovat s komunitama, aby byly tolerantnější k lidem, kteří si rádi povídají, vzdělávají se, nebo dělají kariéru. Měla by se najít rovnováha mezi množstvím přidaného obsahu z jejich strany a naplnění jejich potřeb. S tím může pomoci WMF.

Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) A Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) Vienna, Austria in-person 8 5 Any community working towards opening up knowledge to a wider audience on a freely accessible basis is a potential partner - be it the Open Knowledge Foundation, the Cochrane Foundation, Open Data initiatives by governments etc. While there are myriad ways to partner with likeminded organisations, collaborations on topics we have similar views on in order to successfully create synergy effects would be a promising way forward. This process would also bring our communities together, making them more inclusive and at the same time offering a different perspective or approach to the movement.

While preparing the Wikimedia Hackathon in Vienna we realized that there is still a lot of room for impovement when it comes to integrating newcomers into our community. At the same time there are many great concepts out there – some of them we tested and implemented for the Hackathon – from other tech communities (Rails Girls, Jugend hackt, Ladies that FOSS), which have not been applied to the Wikiverse before, such as mentoring programs for young coders or tech events for women and non-binary volunteers only. We should become bolder when it comes to radical changes to our event formats so we can apply successful approaches from other communties and organizations.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 13 Offline legislation will have caught up with online activity and will no longer focus on what's legal, but also on what behavior encourages productivity. There will be one worldwide authority, holding transparency and community health as their mission, that will oversee activity and will help online communities effectively and expeditiously handle matters of abuse.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 14 Contributors will be protected from abuse and hate speech. They will have clear policies around behaviour to reference, and clear processes to rely upon if those policies are being broken. Contributors will feel that they are part of a movement that cares about people, not just content.
Wiki in Education A Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Outreach/Wiki in Education various various 20 3 This theme is the absolute first condition of the other 4 themes. Safe, healthy communities lay the groundwork for all future work on Wikipedia; it is the gatekeeper and the enabler. For example: Why will others in the knowledge ecosystem partner with us if we are unwelcoming, toxic, and exclusive? How will people respect Wikipedia if they only know it’s created by a small group of people? How can we be global if people continuously leave or never even join our community? Who cares if it’s an augmented experience if we have no users?
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 15 Our projects begin to bifurcate based on culture more than language. We have pan-language wikis. It is easy to flip back and forth between these cultural projects, so no reader of a given topic is unaware of the other perspectives. It's easier to “see the world through others’ eyes”.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 16 Lots of people have friends they met while contributing who share an interest in some specific area. Language barriers disappear while working on the projects, although cultural differences are still seen and acknowledged. We don’t have homogeneity in a single monoculture, but instead "agree to disagree" with respect.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 17 Wikipedia’s importance decreases on people’s minds, because there is multiple new healthy collaborative projects of knowledge sharing supported by the WMF (leader on this field) and the massive community behind them.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 18 Contribute to free knowledge is something you do naturally, because it is a natural part of how you learn things. Share and collaborate is trendy. As so many people are part of our community, parts of our policy/essays like ‘be bold’, NPOV etc will become part of popular lingo, maybe even popular culture.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 19 Technical tools and AI agents increase efficiency and leverage so that the people who maintain content quality no longer have a siege mentality and are able to be more patient and thoughtful in their interactions with these new contributors.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 20 We [will] have finally figured out a way to include peoples who predominantly have an oral tradition.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 21 In 2030, we'll be a healthy community that crowd sources for effective change and content development. Wikimedia is a leader in global, collaborative environments. People are positive, happy, and helpful to each other.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 22 In 2030 we'll be a leader in how we run a lean, robust operation with positive global impact. We are innovators in every space of our work as a Foundation. We are an authentic model that and allows the practice, development and long game in how we lead and allocate resources in the world.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 23 in 2030, legislation in advanced countries will just be beginning to catch up with IP and copyright in relation to the internet in a realistic manner. A lot of the shields we have in community process will hopefully be rendered moot, lowering the barrier for participation.

Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) A Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) Vienna, Austria in-person 8 2 This theme has the power to make or break our movement - without healthy and inclusive communities, none of the four other themes would be viable approaches and would heavily jeopardize our place within society.

Volunteers are at the heart of Wikimedia projects and will be in future. Hence, how well we will do in this regard has an impact on the other themes, as we need the man- and womanpower to come up with bold technological innovation, grow globally, partner up with like-minded communities and organizations, and to deliver high-quality information and knowledge. The importance of this can therefore not be overstated und should be of the highest priority. The fact that we already face severe challenges in welcoming new contributors and not too many good practices and working processes to change that also shows that this aspect within this theme deserves special attention and joint effort.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 25 The writers of Wikipedia are more representative of the readers and the barrier for low-level participation is lower.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 26 Sentiments on the use and distribution of resources worldwide, 'developing' worlds less in control, 'developed' worlds in control will impact on us most. How equity can be achieved, in doing so, the Wikipedia project can serve as a tool to do this by disseminating of information from a diverse range of voices. How to maintain that equitable channel of access is yet another challenge as resources are not consistent throughout the world.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 27 We should be considered the paragon of inclusion, modeling effective inclusion in all aspects of our work - particularly in areas that are historically not inclusive (eg STEM, especially open source software communities).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 28 New users have a support network when they signup: they are assigned three mentors that can coach them in the beginning and throughout the new user’s wiki journey. They have regular check-ins (once a week with a different mentor each time), to see how the experience is going, and to trouble-shoot through any problems or error messages the new user got. Depending on how often this person contributes, after a year or after two years, they become a mentor for someone else.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 29 New, good-faith contributors are recognized as such, and explicitly welcomed and mentored. A 'mentoring' wing of the community rivals the vandal-fighting and deletionist wings for size and enthusiasm.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 30 People in Wikipedias in big languages don’t reject edits from people for whom that language is not native, especially when they write about things that are unique to their culture. These edits are improved and published. Discussions about sources in foreign languages, about newbies’ contributions, and notability being limited only to certain countries, and about translation move from rejection to tolerance.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 32 By 2030, we will have technical methods to connect patient/friendly/experienced editors, with newcomers and with editors seeking help. By 2030, we will have excellent technical communication systems, that allow everyone to get as much push/pull communication information as they desire, and allow many people to interact on a single topic, giving anything from long prose contributions to micro-endorsements (in order to not overwhelm signal-to-noise ratios).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 33 The growth of the communities to reach near-parity between the top 50 languages has been staggering. Chapters now exist in major cities in every country. There's an article from a journalist describing their experience as a new Wikipedia contributor.

All themes are related with each other; i.e to become a trusted medical source it's neccessary to include some medical experts in the community first. It appears that including people from every background is essential for other themes.

Community members improve Wikimedia projects in many different ways: initiating conversations with new partners, training students and new users to contribute to Wikipedia, mentoring program leaders, speaking to outsiders about how Wikipedia fits into our existing knowledge ecosystem, being kind and inclusive to another editor (giving them a sense of community), etc.
Wiki in Education A Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Outreach/Wiki in Education various various 20 5 Volunteers should not be evaluated or valued by the number of edits they make to the Wikimedia projects. We must stop rewarding bad behavior.

Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) A Wikimedia Austria (Board and ED) Vienna, Austria in-person 8 4 A healthy and inclusive community does not exist in a vacuum. It interacts with the society it is surrounded by on a daily basis, influencing and learning from each other. Developing awareness in societies around the world for the Wikimedia projects being a shared responsibility of all humankind should therefore be an essential goal of of this theme.

What is implicit in the current statement is that an inclusive culture which makes contributing fun requires to fight toxic environments. This is a cultural shift as currently an indivdual’s amount of contributions to the projects or years of service weigh more than his or her behaviour towards others. The prefered way to do this is positive reinforcement: As a movement we should celebrate those who successfully manage to bring in and mentor newcomers. However, in some instances a tough stance against toxic behaviour will be necessary and should have the same importance and consequences as other violations of the core values of Wikimedia.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 70 Groups taking responsibility for members’ edits may be one way to allow new types of contributions.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 78 Gamification has its place, but we shouldn't have everything designed for shininess etc. The black-and-white, newspaper style feels more newsworthy and rewarding.

Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 12 If improving community health in our existing projects turns out to be unattainable it might be more promising to focus on constructing new projects with healthier environments for new communities ("build it right and the right people will come").
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 12 The claim that people first and foremost contribute to free knowledge projects because they are looking for relations and networking, has been challenged in the past and should be dropped. Take a recent focus group analysis of newbie editors that has been commissioned by Wikimedia Deutschland: It strongly suggests that potential and actual new contributors are not “in it” for the community aspect. In fact, being part of a community is rather off-putting to them and leading to self-doubt or hesitation to contribute.

Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 7 This is the most important theme because the human factor is always more relevant than technology or processes. Thus, “Augmented age” (technology/means to an end) and “knowledge ecosystem” (process/how, working with others) are not as important, by definition.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 8 This theme is very important: If it is taken by its words, then the other 2 themes of acting globally and being respected for content follow logically from this first theme.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 9 It’s an underlying theme for all the other themes and a main asset for all of what Wikimedia can do to advance free knowledge in the world. It makes us unique, human-based, diverse and sustainable, thus it’s the most important among these 5 themes.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 10 This one is the most important theme. A positive communication culture on the internet is currently at stake and the Wikimedia spirit (which represents the description above) is the core of the idea of Free Knowledge.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 36 There are strong connections to the theme C. Capacity to contribute and use Wikimedia projects is holistically different in emerging and underdeveloped communities compared to more active regions. It is not possible to build a healthy and inclusive community without adapting to the circumstances of these regions.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 37 We will need to get people involved at an earlier age. Making Wikipedia a part of schools across the globe will help to tie all of the themes together.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 38 Theme B -- increased capability to remove language barriers. Theme D -- the idea of a “single truth” will be under increased pressure if we are successful in integrating diverse viewpoints. Theme E -- more diverse forms of organization/learning ecosystems will make it harder to engage and/or harder to ensure that engagement is not biased.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 39 If this goal isn’t achieved, it will be difficult (impossible?) to achieve other goals. Community health is the gatekeeper (and/or enabler) to every other achievement of the community. The other 4 statements can only happen inasmuch as this first statement has become true.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 40 Technology will allow us to scale up reception, mentoring, and recommendations to new people, helping them to find places where their particular background and experience make them effective and able to do good work. Having a healthy, diverse community is the necessary background to being a successful [theme C and E]. It’s difficult to get involved those who don't feel that they themselves are represented in doing the work.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 41 All the themes are not reflecting the needs for the future but the needs for the daily implication into the Wikimedia projects. We are failing technology which is not perceived as innovative, inclusivity with 13% of women, globalization and internationalization... Maybe the Theme B, as a way to remove the language gap, is the more promising and so the more independent - the connection to the current theme may not be that obvious.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 42 Link with Theme B -- more ways to engage with people can help to build a more diverse and inclusive group of volunteers. Difficult crossover with theme D -- we have to balance input from experts & input from a diverse set of contributors (ie, non-experts). In fact, we need both experts and non-experts working together, but we’ll need to shift our thinking away from “including more people lowers the quality” to “including more people raises the quality”.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 43 We can be [theme C and D] if we successfully foster healthy communities, who will then go on to create more partnerships with other key groups and create more knowledge, utilizing the tools at their disposal.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 44 The biggest interconnected theme is theme C. We're missing out on so many perspectives that could help shape our communities to be more healthy and inclusive.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 45 People from many different backgrounds need to feel welcome to fully participate in all aspects of the Wikimedia movement. (for example, people from the “global south” are not a problem to be resolved but people with valuable resources to share with the Wikimedia movement.)
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 46 Inclusion both depends on and facilitates everything else. We need to be global to be inclusive to everyone, and we need to be inclusive if we want to have competent answers to the challenges of going global. We need to be inclusive to be free of systematic bias and so become [theme D]; we need to have respectable content to not drive people away in the first place.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 47 Theme B could play a role in increasing inclusivity, etc - improving tools for curation, cultivation, access, etc.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 48 Theme B can support this as well.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 49 [Theme B] can go either way: be better for inclusiveness or work against it.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 50 The themes are good for now, but maybe not for 15 years from now. Everyone wants these solved now. They may no longer be relevant in 15 years time.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 51 When we contemplate something disruptive, we sometimes have positive response from smaller wikis. The issue is with English Wikipedia, which is more unhealthy now (much more than other projects). We aren’t completely doomed if we can’t solve this.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 1 This theme is unnecessary. The technology should be easy and simple to use for humans. However, the alternative path for humans would not be easy. Nevertheless, with humans' better understanding of the developing world and rural areas, by 2030, we can make the Foundation's software easier and more convenient to edit. Of course, sister projects need huge improvements and should become edit-friendly and more inviting and well-maintained before reaching 2030.; If this theme is ignored, more projects will be proposed. Some of the proposed will become fully formed and established, but they can invite its own audiences and elites. Wikipedia can still attract general audiences.; I feel uneasy about the theme. I misread the theme and thought it's about creativity. However, I realize it's about artificial intelligence. The A.I. is... something I would not encourage as part of the moment. However, if the theme is followed by 2030, more A.I. machines would take over human production. However, that makes humans less creative than they should be.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 30 A Wikimedia-backed open-source machine translation initiative would, in the hopes of producing high-accuracy machine translations, would open the door to a far greater audience of readers, who, for example, may not have individuals who are interested in producing translations into their language or providing native content as opposed to translation. This does not preclude other scenarios, a particular case being areas of culture and history, of which there may be marginal interest in outside of its native tongue, and such no human translators willing to invest the time in producing an accurate translation.; By opening this project up to the community at large, it has the potential to not only improve machine translation in general, but also the potential for a "Wikiscient" system that can help guide people through topics and frame one topic in the context of another, which is another aspect of machine "translation", only one that remains within the same language. This suggests that a project must focus on machine translation that develops some form of comprehension of the subjects, potentially supported by Wikimedia content beyond the encyclopedia.; Of course, there is an inherent fear of bias creeping into a machine translation, perhaps due to something as simple as lexical ambiguity, or more worrying, such as actively or unknowingly fed "belief" - where the machine translation converts a neutral statement into a supportive or opposing variant, thus running counter to the nature of an encyclopedia. This means that this a project into machine translation must also develop tools with which to understand bias in machine learning and, where possible, counter it should it compromise the neutrality, and thus accuracy, of its translation.

This in turn would help development, democratization and promote peace. ; Having diverse views for understanding the world, such as WP entries on specific subjects with computer-generated pointers to multiple points of view regarding the subject (for example the political right and left, competing academic theories, or different ethical and religious views), promotes open-mindedness of the issues, allowing readers to make up their own minds and have a broader world view. ; Technology could be used to cross check its articles with scholarly papers and provide smart reading lists of relevant material, making WP a more reliable source. * If technology can make it easier for the user to contribute, for example with editing wizards, we can expect a bigger and more engaged community which in turn would incorporate more readers and broaden WP's impact.

German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [244] Local wiki 17 30 Knowledge is part of humanity and under its control. Artificial intelligence is making use of this knowledge, which is does not have values. What role does Wikipedia play in this process, given the following premises: [1] Is H. G. Wells' statement still valid? "Human history only knows one direction: forwards and upwards. Mankind is destined to something greater". [2] Yuval Noah Harari: "To understand the world of today, an incredible amount of data has to be analyzed. (In the worldwide financial crisis even experts did not know what happened.) The only systems capable of processing all relevant data are big data algorithms. Humans will be replaced by artificial intelligence through better and superior algorithms." [3] Stephen Hawking: "Artificial intelligence can one day be able to improve itself and yield to an explosion of intelligence that will replace humans as a species, not being subjected to human moral concepts." (OpenAI)
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [245] Local wiki 17 31 The idea to create something superhuman that generates knowledge is even older than Faust. But I am afraid that we are not aware of the mephistophelian temptations that come along with it. Asimov was refering to some of them, and those can be scary. I think it is important that we start to distinguish between human intelligence, futher coginitive ability and mere algorithm. Lsjbo is just transforming data, placing it on the right spot; I would not dfine that intelligence. Yet the dangers by bot owners are not to be underestimated, although responisble for these are the humans running the bots. Additionally Wikipedians are becoming redundant by those. This progress is hard to stop as shown in the recent article Generation R. But thinking about it critically: do we need values for generating knowledge and article improvement or are they even disruptive in regard to accuracy and neutrality? So which role plays artificial intelligence in the Wikipedia? As humans it is our responsibility and nature to search for answers and to preserve nature. For this it is necessary to know about it. A bot writing articles about places, astronomical objects and animals is helping us more to learn about our environment than, helping us to better interact with it. If we really want to know "what holds the world or the universe together at its core" ... this is our only chance, apart from its utopian character. Hawking said that that we have to leave this planet within the next 100 years. This process would be hard to imagine withought artificial intelligence. But sociral issues are different in nature. And it will take a while until bots will be able to create complex articles. Another focus will be on the use of the computational complexity theory and the computability theory, for instance for the determinational of potential articles. Another critical point are the assistance systems, that demand less and less of the reader or control less what he knowns and vice versa. That is why we should continue not to rely on these answers, but should study the subject further. By this schematic structure the encyclopedic understanding as such can get lost, naturally leading to the question whether the Wiki as we know it will be still accepable if a bot can provide answers to questions directly. This all will have an impact on every day life and research. I cannot imagine that his complex will have an impact on education.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [246] Local wiki 17 32 If there's one thing that worries me about artificial intellegence is that it might work too well, especially the use of AI in image editing (see c't 11/2017). Take a daylight picture of city A and a nighttime picture of city B, total both up and you've got city A at nighttime. Pictures have always been altered, but it's a difference if you have to be an expert in that or if you just add up 2 pictures. This has an impact on the pictures that we are using.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [247] Local wiki 17 33 I believe that artificial intelligence makes sense for us. We could for example need an artificial intelligence that looks at Commons pictures and then creates and stores the summary resp. picture description in our future Commons-Wikidata. An artificial intelligence tool, so to say. But that won't be reviving Wikipedia, it's just another tool. It wouldn't be a strategic product, merely a userful tool.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [248] Local wiki 17 34 The theme is not talking about artificial intelligence, but rather tools to facilitate editing, especially a translation tool. With the translation tool Wikipedia could grow faster. And if the information transfer is improved, Wikipedia would be used more often. But what will be an increasing problem is a problem we already have: self-promotion of companies, politicians and other entities.

"Healthy and inclusive" was second most important until I reread the "augmented age" theme, so "Healthy and inclusive" becomes the most important theme. Without making the community and the Foundation "healthy and inclusive", how else do we achieve the "augmented age"?; Back to the question, the theme reflects how outdated, buggy, and inefficient the technology of the Foundation is. It should welcome tech savvy people who should connect well with the general population, i.e. average person who know very little about technology.; Relying too much on the theme and A.I. doesn't resolve difficulties between humans and machines.

Wikipedia needs sister projects for balance. To combat imbalance, the world needs those projects to survive by 2030. Without them, how else will Wikipedians address poor quality, bureaucracy, and lack of creativity? * Wikinews needs a huge revamp to be more productive and inviting to original reporters. Its technology is old, its rules are becoming stagnant, and its community is very limited. Very little is published every day. Nevertheless, people complain every day how dead and useless the project is. One person has stood up for the project and worked hard every day to help the project survive. The limited community of Wikinews felt offended by the negative statements about the project and found them mostly inaccurate. Wikinews's stale editing doesn't ease but increases tensions between Wikinews and Wikipedia communities. If Wikinews starts to become more edit-friendly and newbie-friendly, maybe Wikipedians can stop complaining about Wikinews. * People should stop preventing creativity, stop hostility, and stop honing rules. Instead, they should reduce burdensome rules and start becoming more creative with ideas and content. * The theme does not resolve civility.

Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG A Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG Sofia, Bulgaria in-person 38 Some aspects of the Augmented Age are like double-edged sword: they can potentially bring equal and even bigger harm than benefit. For instance machine translations are still very far from perfect (and, frankly, I believe they will never be), especially in languages from different language families. However, to the people with less knowledge of languages and/or technical abilities (with less understanding of machine translations), this heavily promoted opportunity creates false sense of security, and also contributes to decrease in critical thinking and willingness to make efforts. Spiritia (comments at the offline wiki seminar on 10 June in Sofia)
Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG A Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG Sofia, Bulgaria in-person 39 The introduction of machine translations, as good as they may be, is wrong. Coverage of a variety of knowledge areas, and speed of contribution, are important, but not at the expense of quality. Writing an article is a creative process.

Partially pre that we will help the people of all the world to receive information to which they previously had no access. However, due in part to the fact that we will provide the knowledge and education in a language which these people perceive "their own" - as said Nelson Mandela: "If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you speak to him in his language, that goes to his heart. " This is a strong thing about education, because makes it easy for a man to integrate the new knowledge through rational and emotional intelligence. So, more extensive, understanding of the information will help people to remember the information, and therefore to transform his way of thinking. So far we have concentrated on provision of education by the Western way with a focus to western languages; now that focus more go to new communities, we have to take advantage of additional ways to make it easier acceptance of the knowledge. If we, as a movement, provides social structures for global social change, we adapt the content and the form to a whole world. This must also include structures for global participation in the organized Wikimedia movement for people who natively speak not Western language.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 155 616 Very mixed feelings about this. There are basically three parts of impact: 1) scientific knowledge in these regions (e.g. universities in Asia). Those are areas that have tons of knowledge that are not used or integrated to our movement, they probably know how an encyclopaedia works but probably don't know Wikipedia, thus if we have enough resources we will probably make a significant impact by getting and sharing with the entire world a deeper information on these areas.; 2) traditional knowledge in these regions (e.g. tribal knowledge in Africa). We will have huge troubles working with these communities and integrating their knowledge. If we succeed we will make an impact by successfully integrating "Northern" encyclopaedia with "Southern" traditional knowledge. If we fail our major impact will just be another news item about ambitious white people who wasted a lot of efforts and money in Africa.; 3) scientific knowledge outside these regions (e.g. Eastern Europe). It will probably suffer a lot. Our main impact will be probably a sort of white hole there: these regions are not fully mature yet to advance without our support but they are not immature to get full support either.

People are willing to contribute photo material but some of them will ask for basic respect concerning rights. It is hard to make good photos and it is unacceptable for some to give them away just for others to make profit out of them, while the photographer (may) live in poverty. There is a need for just a little bit more space for basic copyright respect. Change and loosen a bit the copyright policy (don't treat to delete work that the uploader signed as copyrighted but willingly contributed for educational - and not for commercial - purpose) so that these users can contribute their professional work of art in a way that keeps it safe from misuse. It is hard to understand why would a free encyclopedia insist on commercial use of all its material.

Do donors in the countries where we have the most financial backing understand that the are supporting efforts elsewhere? Most people I know who donate do so because they use the encyclopedia and want to improve it—primarily for themselves. They are unaware of our international efforts. I'm not saying donors in North America and Europe will object to transferring their dollars and Euros to other parts of the world. But there might be a point, a percentage of expenditures, beyond which they would object, and it seems like an issue we need to anticipate and take seriously. This could be an issue our critics might exploit, and we don't want our support base to feel like they've been the victims of a bait-and-switch.

Even the discussions in such themes hurt many people. (In talk pages everybody is allowed to say what they believe is right but the rule by end is that who yells harder wins, or the issue remains unsettled and confusing.) Too much freedom is a curse. Develop more efficient ways to filter the destructive out, and limit their ability to alter healthy content with speculative one, with intention to cause divisions and internal conflicts, edit wars etc. There are many (of these from the dark side :) that reached admin level, just by being tricky and more clever than the ones that confront their destructive views. I believe there is a war raging inside Wikipedia between good and evil. The lines must be kept and clearly drawn. Wikipedia must describe evil, but also warn of consequences.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 150 Lack of Wikipedia in many languages is due to lack of internet presence in that language. More content in the language in other sites would aid Wikipedia growth. There’s a question: do we wait? Do we push for more internet culture in other languages? We may also partner with organizations that help the growth of internet usage in different languages: encourages people to blog, news websites to start in different languages, localize social networks, etc. (And if there are no such organizations, we can start them!)

Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 55 It will be a huge challenge for the movement, as we're currently phrasing the current identify of the movement.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 129 More a congress of knowledge than an archive of knowledge. Living, breathing. There is a bias towards printed material. Let’s be radical about the formats of knowledge. Maybe oral history.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 148 “We’ll make space for new contributions that reflect these regions (references, citations, and more)” - particularly the parenthetical - is very Wikipedia-centric. In order to be welcoming, it may be the case that Wikipedia isn’t necessarily the place where there are new joiners - it may be new products or sites.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 149 The movement is strong beyond Wikipedia and leverages other, complementary projects to support the world’s learning and documenting histories that are kept in other types of sources, such as oral histories, paintings, and other expression.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 151 We can’t be thinking only about us, we have to rethink some of our commitments, and pay attention to the fights others are fighting for getting people access. We need to ask whether Wikipedia is the right vehicle for things like oral citations, low connectivity, and so on?
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 152 Is Wikipedia even the right format to be getting information? Long form is valuable in many contexts, and it’s the wrong in other contexts.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 125 This describes a characteristic of how our community should act, its not framed in a direction at the moment: the question of how we do this, and what kinds of core tooling we use to maintain that focus. Any of the other themes should include a component of going in this direction: several of them are missing explicit calls on this diversity of engagement.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 132 We have mapped people back into their internet speed rather than helping them overcome that. FB/IG are giving them the full experience; they’re full members regardless of their device/internet speed. It’s something really powerful because people relate to one instagram community around the world rather than one part of it. We’ve let ourselves down on by having this highly stratified set of membership.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 133 People can create their own space / language wiki / group. But that causes some wikis or communities to seem more important / noble / complete.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 143 “Regions/cultures” are interesting.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 144 “Who is marginalized today” isn’t just a discrete geographical thing.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 145 The first draft of this was very PC and people in Africa had no idea what it was about. The people we’re talking about should be the ones writing about this. We can only write from that perspective so well.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 147 There are groups that we have underserved and have been marginalized for various reasons today. Those groups don’t exactly map into just regions; we might be thinking in terms of regions because that’s how we organize today offline. But there are many ways to intersect, slice and dice these various groups. To be a truly global movement, there is a balance we need to strike between what we can do (i.e. where we want to focus our attention and resources) and how inclusive we can be.
Wikimedians of Korea User Group A Wikimedians of Korea User Group videocall video conference 3 5 Western social system or freedom is not common all over the world. Developing or underdeveloped contries fall behind in copyright laws, nonprofit activities and freedom of speech. People from developed countries should understand this.

For example, many Koreans are not used to active and continuous discusion or speach, due to history and education.

Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 53 I would suggest to not start every sentence with "we". This sounds more like "us" and "them" than like a truly global movement.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 134 Because English is so ubiquitous, people are sometimes told to participate in their local language even though it may not be what they want to contribute in.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 166 Folks should get the information in their language without the laborious nature of translation from English.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 169 Is Wikimedia a place for language preservation? We can help with cultural identity.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 187 Most covered - we will see that resources are there - their language, their environments. One single source of truth that is translated out. One meta article that is fed into many language speakers. People in their languages can contribute much easier. Goes far beyond language. When we consider interfaces, there is a huge gap we have to overcome.
Wikimedia Morocco user group A Wikimedia Morocco user group 3 Not only accessing to Wikipedia is a goal, but also to have the content available in a maximum of the languages of the world. It is important to add it to the theme to make access stronger. Being able to browse Wikipedia zero, and then find that everything is just in English is useless.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 165 Support leadership in these areas to collaboratively bring forth participation.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 191 This discussion seems very broad. You can forget illiterates in US (south for example). We don’t want to expand into new countries but we have to be careful about gender and class. We don’t want to perpetuate the same issues.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 178 We should emphasise capacity development more. It can be viewed in terms of taking initiative. People can follow initiative and grow that. With penetration increasing, more people are coming online and don’t know how to use the smart phones. Need more respected orgs and movements away from private sector and government to lead this, and people will follow.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 172 It doesn't talk about affiliates, only "partners". It doesn't explicitly name the infrastructures.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 176 Previous WMF-led programs in India and Brazil didn’t work and created large problems for our existing ocmmunities. How do we actually build these communities?
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 186 We need ‘smarter/more’ meetups - not defaulting to English. Maybe much less content if there’s a restriction that it has to be in 20 languages. In person meetups are so critical for shared understanding.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 131 Connects to the idea of us vs. them. Personal connection to Wikipedia; it’s where people go to learn and we want to contribute to that. Even more apparent in 2030
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 137 There’s less soloing; you have a sense of your space and place relative to something much larger. And we’re facilitating people knowing where they are and the larger thing. Sense of belonging to a global movement. Sense of something greater and you can contribute to it. Also like how we went from diversity to unity, greater collective. It’s not just for the sense of diversity, but building something bigger
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 171 We need some kind of shared North Star.
Wikimedia Community User Group Turkey (WMTR) A Cycle 2/Turkish Wikipedia email email 35 3 Opening regional and/or country offices would make this theme stronger. Having official agencies would be helpful in establishing healthy communication with future formal partnerships.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 52 It is not only about connecting existing communities with emerging communities, but also working together as readers, contributors, affiliates and partners from all regions of the world we would improve existing and develop new forms of contributions.
Wikimedia Chile - Strategy meetup A Wikimedia Chile - Strategy meetup in Santiago (June 6, 2017) Santiago, Chile in-person 14 32 It would be good to encourage the training of new users, leveraging with education activities. There should be more global work, not just on communities. You have to work on good tutorials that allow to form new users, facilitating the work for many interested parties. (Fernando Gualda)
Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire A Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire Strategy meet-up Abidjan June 10, 2017 Abidjan in-person 27 39 Make wikimedia platforms, especially wikipedia, available online and offline.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 154 The matter of “oral citations” can be resolved nicely if we help universities to have programs that document the oral history of different cultures for which there are no such programs now and encourage the professors and the students in these programs to upload their work to Wikimedia projects.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 155 There does seem to be agreement that oral citations can become acceptable within an academic context. But there are some It would make sense to focus upon cultures where academic programs that accept oral citations are non-existent.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 136 When Wikimedians start becoming community organizers, they start getting a better sense of the global movement. Each reader, contributor etc. should have a sense of the global movement.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 177 Once the word is out and we identify what we want to focus on, we can work on partnerships and provide as much help as we can.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 173 We need to find ways to make sure this statement is something all will identify with.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 174 the use of "we" is problematic here because people may assume that the WMF is the "we". People are identifying with the "we", the community doesn't assume the "we" is "the WMF".
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 179 We will build awareness of the power of free knowledge and overcome barriers to access - I wouldn't phrase it like this, but we do need to think beyond Wikimedia. We're not going to be focusing on the identity of our movement as a series of websites, but beyond that. This statement doesn't really speak to that right now.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 182 Make Space? Make space is very jargony and western centric: Enable, Invite, Welcome
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 54 This theme should focus more on public policy and change of legislation, as just working on awareness would be a bit weak.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 168 Focus on high-priority communications - we will need to make high-priority decisions. Someone will need to make a call on how to prioritise languages.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 170 We've seen in so many communities strong support from e.g. the governments of these countries. In reality we need to make decisions about where to prioritise, and these decisions might be painful.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 184 thinking about prioritization and resources… put money behind this. Paid translations, pay for the infrastructure that enables global conversations.
Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 29 We think the theme can benefit from focusing it around reach rather than the movement. In its current form the theme appears to be heavily community-centred, readers are very important too and should be stressed.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 141 First step is being seen as a source of knowledge used for research, then getting people to contribute.
Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire A Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire Strategy meet-up Abidjan June 10, 2017 Abidjan in-person 27 38 Initiate training sessions in high schools, colleges and universities.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 140 By actively going through institutional channels, you might be forming behavior of creation of knowledge; not just getting but also contributing information.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 156 We need to rethink our relationship with academic institutions - pivot to instructors. Awareness is not only about brand recognition. We need to and grounding in the values and nonprofit aspect of Wikipedia is important; awareness is shallow today, and need to go beyond current state.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 160 A little bit more “how” we accomplish this particular theme would be welcome. Not clear how we get from here to there.
Iberoconf 2017 A Iberoconf 2017 Buenos Aires, Argentina in-person 36 31 Promote criticism of technological development.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 153 Translation tools have evolved to the point that they support humans to more easily share knowledge across languages. Small and medium sized wikis, are able to more rapidly grow because these barriers have been reduced. Machine translation is a more effective assistant. Oral history referencing is officially acceptable on Wikipedias across languages.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 188 Technology will be the solution for fixing this. Not only translations but accessibility. Better integration of tools for those impaired or for those with lower access or literacy skills. Technology will be a way to bring these people in - beyond just language. Looking at other barriers as well.
Wiki in Education A Strategy/Wikimedia movement/2017/Outreach/Wiki in Education various various 20 8 We must facilitate interpretation and translation - Language ability does not correlate to technical skill, and both need to come together to enhance the participation of non-English speaking communities. The Language Barrier is a major challenge. Interfaces, localizations, and translations make tools accessible. They should not be an afterthought, but part of the main build and design process. We should learn from existing models like TED, where every video has at least two volunteer translators. One idea is to create a separate or new translation team. The foundation can and should pay for translation and interpretation.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 127 We need 1) Availability Across languages Via automatic translation and editor outreach) and 2) Accessibility in emerging communities (via providing an experience that works for readers with poor connections and/or poor devices).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 185 Where English isn’t the filter by default. Professional translation is something we do by default. Simultaneous translation. Also see the movement taking less traditional sources of knowledge.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 138 The more people we are, the more unity we should have. Paradox.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 106 Efforts regarding "giving contributors better tools to contribute" will not really expand our content in places where no contributors exists because the community is not aware of the existence of Wikipedia. [Theme D] assumes there is a variety of sources and in many categories/areas/languages that is just not the case.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 107 If we focus on being the [theme D] it is likely we lose focus on being broadly available is a wide range of topics in languages/regions and collectives in which Wikipedia is not known.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 108 A truly global movement is mostly interconnected with how we are [theme E], how we're adapting [theme B] to use new technologies to bring in those outside our movement (digitally illiterate, visually impaired, non-English speakers, minorities (race, gender, others), etc.).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 109 Becoming a global community is the ultimate goal. We will need [theme B] to help us scale the editing work globally. We will need [theme A] to scale the human network globally. We will need [theme D], so that we can be taken seriously at the global level. And we can't operate in a vacuum as many have said, we will need [theme E] to enable us to reach everyone and include them in our movement.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 110 We are one of the main player in [theme E]. We are not engaging with it, we are leading it. We need to boldly go to places where there's no school or library, partner with organizations that are experienced with going to exotic places. We need to create cultures of knowledge in places where no such culture exist and not just wait for it to get created. If we don’t do this, these cultures might just disappear before we get the chance to document them.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 111 [Theme B], to provide state of the art and accessible technologies is paired with [theme A] (to welcome any kind of knowledge, no matter who supports it in which language or in which communication channel) will allow is to achieve our goal of creating a truly global movement. Those three will push [theme D] we have forward.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 112 New communities need more support than just an incubator wiki. They need process and programs to encourage leadership and to support others to join them. If we are not culturally and emotionally aware and sensitive that other cultures around the world are different, then we will create friction and disappointment as we try to become more global in our participation.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 113 Augmented translation and automated seamless language tools will also accelerate any progress in this particular theme.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 114 A "truly global movement" relies on [themes A, B, E] to support the growth and accessibility as a [theme D]. Keeping our vision grounded in the *why* of reaching people in the rest of the world will allow us to choose which tactics (whether that's product, partnerships, policies, etc.) will best serve us getting there. Our 15 year strategic direction should be focused on the impact - not the means to get there.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 115 Theme D - we need to better understand how different cultures and regions treat the core concept of open knowledge - is there censorship, or just disdain, around the concept? Theme B will become more relevant as translation tools become better, which we may be able to tap into as a movement to allow for much easier communication across borders.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 116 [Themes B and E] are systems that support [theme A] to create,curate,contribute and consume [theme D] in support of a truly global movement. Ability to integrate and include many language and cross cultural respect and awareness are crucial, so AI will be a tool for humans, not a replacement.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 117 All the themes are interdependent, and [theme B] and "fun" are two of the more important things that may help attract more readers in countries who have been less present on Wikipedia. For years, Wikipedians debated about the introduction of a visual editor, and wikitext. Wikitext was seen as a kind of badge of honor. As more people get involved from around the world, technology innovation is even more important.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 118 If we want everyone, everywhere, to be welcome, it circles back to our theme A. Theme A is still the top priority, but this theme may inform how we prioritize that work. Similarly, theme B can break down barriers to being “truly global” through machine translation, better telepresence options, etc. We can prioritize our [theme B] investments by thinking if this makes us more [theme A] and more “global”.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 119 We will not be able to bring in new knowledge without bringing in new people. People will not want to join our movement if they see it as an unhealthy place. Some of the knowledge gaps we have on WM exist in other forms and on other platforms. The most respected source of knowledge will be extensive, vast, and vibrant. We will need to address these knowledge gaps to fulfil this goal.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 120 This intersects with themes B and D as bringing on all this content and contributors will require adequate tech tools for scaling with assurance of quality.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 121 [Theme A] is the prerequisite to a truly global movement. This theme is the one that will require a great deal of time, energy, and resources to achieve, and must be purposefully pursued. It’s far too easy to maintain the status quo than to make sure that marginalized communities have the opportunity to contribute to and learn from Wikimedia projects.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 122 This is very related to [theme E]. Wikipedia’s quest for knowledge does not exist in a vacuum, we do not (and should not) have to lone wolf this. Finding our place in the “family of knowledge” will help us do more, with more people.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 123 2 and 5 are means to an end. They would be tactic that we could be employed within the theme of creating a global movement. 1 is kind of a universal good – not sure it is a 15 year theme though. 4 could be at odds with a global movement at times.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 189 This goes beyond language. People bring up the point about socio-economic - you need leisure time to participate in our projects now. This is a barrier - others have knowledge to share as well.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 139 Readership challenges in emerging markets. You’ve got to pick the right place to do it. Strategy that’s been employed a lot; reaching people when they’re young and making them lifelong users. People teaching 14-18yo don’t have textbooks. It gets us the readership we’re looking for, and it gives them resources

Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG A Wikimedians of Bulgaria UG Sofia, Bulgaria in-person 45 The theme of having a truly global movement is important but unfortunately, we do not start from the same starting point. In many regions of the world there is not enough understanding of what encyclopedic (neutral, fact-checked, referenced) content is, because before producing it, they need to have been exposed to it as end users. Efforts and resources have to be invested in overcoming this difference, but in some regions of the world, this problem are more urgent problems that need to be solved first.

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 324 This theme would make the Foundation a monopoly if outside sources are found not as reliable as the projects themselves. Not all projects are reliable, yet people trust and rely on Wikipedia too much. Wikinews is barely read, and some courses of Wikiversity need updates. Wikiversity has permitted original research, but information needs changing. Commons has a lot of photos but is severely backlogged; so is OTRS.; Wikiquote, Wiktionary, and other projects would not have much impact as other materials that collect quotes, dictionaries, etc. If they do, however, that would impact other competing materials.; Wikijournal is currently developing with just Journal of Medicine. If this becomes a full-fledged website, other academic journals would be impacted. NonFreeWiki, even when established per consensus, would be influenced by copyright laws.; In short, the theme is futile and pointless.

This should not strive to replace it, but to be a starting point for their research.

This is due to public relations firms and "online reputation management" companies being hired to edit and re-edit articles to remove some or all negative information even though that info is proven, documented, and part of the established public record. This is discouraging to me and reduces my incentive to add info both positive or negative to articles because "Why Bother When Some PR or Reputation Company or Foreign Government (eg. China) Will Edit The Article?".

Cycle 2 Survey Collectors B Cycle 2 Survey Collectors Survey (English Version) Google Form 135 459 The fact that Wikipedias cease to be not entirely trustworthy sources and become the most reliable ones will impact on alternative corporations of knowledge, such as scholars and academicians. Other sources like official outlets of information --e.g. national or supranational organisations in charge of regulatory policies-- will also resent a freer, more inclusive and independent knowledge aggregator on controversial issues, which might include climate tendencies, historical revisionism, social and religious understanding, investigative journalism, etc.  ; Nevertheless, attaining such a status implies not only clear policies on contents aggregation but also fair use and distribuition of such contents. Therefore, there is an intrinsic issue to solve if we are to follow. ; The most critical of those challenges faced to become trusted, is the divide between theory and practise. Take Wikipedia, for instance, where despite current efforts, the freedom to contribute is often met with a rigid paradigm which includes counterproductive practices (e.g. edit wars). Should the word 'free' need some restrictions derived from expectable behaviour? Should referencing tools not be treated as a priority given how dependent on verification the project is? Is Wikimedia research effectively oriented? What is the nature of leadership (unintendedly) fostered in the Wikipedia environment and is it compatible with 'the most trusted source of knowledge'?

Defining a trustable knowledge has not even been accomplished yet but I see a future for trustable knowledge here with Wikipedia because global paper archives are opening up to Wikipedia now and that invisible knowledge is going to get added to what we already have to learn from. We will have more empathy for mistakes our historical figures made from knowing how they were challenged or controlled much faster than today. Knowledge is power.

German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [627] Local wiki 7 17 "most trusted, high-quality, neutral, and relevant source". Is this self-irony? A trustful prognosis for 2030 is not possible, especially if Wikipedia has never fulfilled a single of those points. Furthermore this is contrary to one of the basic principles of Wikipedia. Wikipedia cannot be a source.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [628] Local wiki 7 19 I think that the first sentence ("Wikimedia projects will be regarded as the most trusted, high-quality, neutral, and relevant source") is too ambitious. But because of the rest of the text of this theme, which is desirable and achievable, it is the second most important for me after theme 2 ("The Augmented Age").
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [629] Local wiki 17 42 I think that this theme is the most important. It contains the original goal, while technical improvments and getting new editors are "just" means to improve the content.

Meta B Meta [634] Local wiki 46 Respect and quality is most important, because a despised Wikipedia would not be read and would be quite useless, however it's not clear what precisely 'quality' means.
Meta B Meta [635] Local wiki 34 89 Maybe the slow development of online communications via wiki is related to the quality of content. Without adequate communication, quality would suffer. High quality is possible via solo work, but that lowers chances of improving communication skills. If communication is concentrated too much, how would we improve quality of content?
Meta B Meta [636] Local wiki 34 90 Cross-project communication is very essential and important because it helps improve quality of projects. Without such communication, and without enough sister projects, Wikipedia would suffer from imbalance.
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia Wikipedia:Strategia Wikimedia Polish Wikipedia 17 12 Encyclopedia shouldn't be the only prophet on knowledge market, but rather starting point for further studies, therefore it is not necessary to be the "most respected source" it is enough to be "good source"; "the most" sounds like a kind of "knowledge imperialism", which we should rather avoid, therefore this topic shouldn't be a strategy goal.[12]
Polish Wikipedia B Polish Wikipedia Wikipedia:Strategia Wikimedia Polish Wikipedia 17 13 This goal is impossible to combine with NPOV - as there always be people criticizing Wikipedia for not following their POV and trying to discredit Wikipedia, so there is no chance to be "the most respected" by all.[13]

Spanish Wikipedia B Spanish Wikipedia [641] Local wiki 17 40 Wikipedia is a source of references where to find a summary about a topic and the sites to find more information about it, rather than a (more respected) "source of knowledge", which is inconsistent. How will I respect a source of knowledge whose compilers are anonymous? And although the "editors" are multitude, knowledge is not democratic. It seems to me that is a point to ignore.
Spanish Wikipedia B Spanish Wikipedia [642] Local wiki 17 41 The wiki is a source of references, is what it should be, but I don't think its obvious subjectivity is something negative -- Everyone has seen how "prestigious" journalists and locutors commit spelling mistakes, how they don't know using verbs and having a tiny view of reality.
Spanish Wikipedia B Spanish Wikipedia [643] Local wiki 21 51 The neutral point of view is one of the great challenges of Wikipedia in its search for quality. The proliferation of paid accounts and the post-truth phenomenon of the future jeopardise the neutral point of view proposed by Wikipedia.

ACTRIAL as it has been called on the English Wikipedia is a necessary first step to achieving this theme: a look at the current new pages created by users shows spam, poorly written content, and even worse: copyright violations and defamation. ; We should find a way to encourage new users to use the draft name space, while also making sure published pages in the main space are up to snuff.

They may truly believe that anything to the right of their far left agenda is not objective or reasonable, but they are deluding themselves. As a result, Wikipedia is viewed as leftist propaganda, to a large extent. Whatever the current power structure is, Wikipedia will have to begin letting its content contributors have a voice, rather than having someone at the top overruling anything to the right of Karl Marx.

By working to ensure that the projects are a trusted source of knowledge and are seen as such, we make the case for becoming a truly global movement much stronger and easier to share.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 202 Wikimedia projects will probably never be totally "respected" by everyone if only because different countries and cultures treat the concept in different ways ([theme C]). It allows for a neutral source which to many means not focusing on the "correct" side (e.g. Turkey situation).Theme B applies here as well, since this goal speaks about finding the information that's relevant to certain people at certain times which would require more work on machine learning and content discovery.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 203 The one that stands out the most is Theme E. There’s a bias toward Wikipedia from old guard academics. How do we approach and work with more traditional organizations? How do we help them adapt for the future on the way to 2030?
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 204 This theme is more of a byproduct of the other themes. The goals of the other themes need to be achieved in order for this theme to be true.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 205 The demystification part of this (external communication/explanation, highlighted transparency), will help all the other themes to succeed. It will: make the actual editing work easier (clearer documentation, and identifying problems with workflows); make onboarding newcomers easier; reduce editor confusion; make external outreach smoother; make interacting with sister communities (who differ in subtle ways) easier.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 206 This theme is a goal to work towards on its own but in many ways is also something that is naturally worked towards through many of our other themes. This is especially true for the theme A and E.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 207 Further engagement with the existing knowledge ecosystem will push us towards greater respect as a knowledge source. "Serious" publications give us more clout by association, while we in turn can help those organizations to find new ways to gather and share knowledge. Fostering healthy and inclusive communities is also critical, since people will avoid contributing if they do not feel welcome or if there is too high of a barrier for entry to begin improving the projects.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 208 All themes are prerequisites to being the most respected source of knowledge. In order to be up top (#1), all remaining 4 must be true and existing.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 209 People do not trust a source because it is accurate; they trust it because they see that they have a chance to fix errors (and so they know it’s not a POV that’s outside of their control and being forced on them by some external power).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 210 This theme is dependent on healthy community and global community, but doesn’t account for those. It depends on those.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 211 This theme has two components: (1) gotta use reliable sources, and (2) gotta convince readers it’s reliable and so are the sources. (1) requires theme E (2) requires inclusivity.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 212 Endorses the knowledge ecosystem, but when we say “we want to be the most respected source of knowledge”, it seems to supplant knowledge creation in other spaces. But if you think about the projects as a platform for accessing relevant and high quality information, you don’t have to supplant the knowledge ecosystem and you risk alienating people in the other knowledge creation zones (experts, indigenous knowledge, etc).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 213 Accessibility and understandability across all languages came up a lot.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 214 Be the middlemen of knowledge.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 215 The most important part was helping people understand how it is reliable… highlighting transparency will help the others succeed. That will make interacting with sister communities easier, as well as external outreach. Need to demystify what makes us us. This is the first place we start the conversation, so a good starting place.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 216 This theme links into the final destination of sum of all knowledge. This is connected to all, lynchpin. Whether that’s ensuring knowledge ecosystem or healthy diverse community - all these result in our being able to provide the most neutral.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 217 Global movement might come after this. We have to be able to explain what it is, and that it is trusted, accurate knowledge. If we can get to this place, then we can complete the global movement goal. This is more of a circular loop - process gets us to the sum of human knowledge.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 218 It is a process loop, we are already at a place. Out of western context, where people don’t know us, we can’t reach this goal until we move up. This is one that others feed into. Healthy and diverse community will push to more trusted, better content and people feeling more safe. Without that, having trusted reliable content would be harder to reach. Need breadth of knowledge and partnerships (ecosystem). If we are at the center of the ecosystem, then we would be trusted.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 219 There's a filter bubble. Democrats see their content, republicans see theirs.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 220 AI could help with of this. Moving things forward. Better translations, better analysis for healthy communities. Connecting to other knowledge bases. So much knowledge available, not to downplay the potential power of this.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 221 One of our other goals is [theme E]. Degree more institutional respect. Points to trust by education issue. Help us be more nimble. Knowledge ecosystem is a means to this end.

Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 38 "Reliability" is not a criterion we can set, it has to be judged/awarded by the people who use our platforms.However, we can establish the framework (infrastructure, rule-setting) for securing reliability.
Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 39 On a more critical note we feel that this theme is too generic in its current form. It works more as an umbrella for a wide array of topics and opinions. While it’s an important theme as such, it also has an air of self-praise about it.
Wikimedia District of Columbia A Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC in-person 9 23 The wording of this theme emphasizes others' perception of us rather than the actual quality of our content.
Wikimedia District of Columbia A Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC in-person 9 25 Wikipedia is not a "source" of information strictly defined, since we are indexing rather than creating knowledge. A better working might be "most comprehensive general resource for sharing knowledge".
Wikimedia District of Columbia A Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC in-person 9 26 The theme seems to emphasize competition, when we should focus on absolute measures of our quality,
Wikimedia District of Columbia A Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC in-person 9 27 The theme compares us with a very broad range of content providers, including news outlets and academic journal publishers, but we have different goals and strengths than these classes of publishers.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 230 The headline has unclear/unintended implications. We recommend headline revisions, that could look like: -Provide access to high quality and relevant knowledge to all people who need it. -The place for high-quality, neutral, and relevant knowledge in any language -Accessible, high-quality, neutral, and relevant knowledge in any language
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 224 We should not be the source, but rather a platform for understanding the experts and communities that create this knowledge. There’s an opportunity to clarify our movement is about verifiability. Rather the headline be focused on the idea that we are the “Most effective platform for providing access to high quality knowledge” -- this is where we can get experts engaged in our project.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 237 Incorporate primary sources directly into articles to show how the facts were arrived at - provide the scientific community a way to communicate to the public
Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 35 Two possibilities for further focusing the theme: while maintaining the parts about sources, there should either be an emphasis on quantity/reach (the "most used source of knowledge" because people think it is the best) or the quality of knowledge ("quality as the new big challenge after the encylopedia is almost completed). If it is focused on reach it might better fit into theme C.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 243 When we focus on quality, some of the smaller wikis don’t have processes for quality standards. Also have different cultural influences. Also - the time in the US right now is a focus on verifiability. This desire to cite things is an added behavior right now. Do we want to call this out explicitly as part of getting to this end point? To be a cultural norm?

Technology (Augmented age) has to support the building of the partnerships, and is part of what we have to offer. Engagement is made possible by the global reach of our movement and it is motivated by making a global knowledge source respected and qualified in terms of content coverage and quality. The knowledge ecosystem becomes stronger when its actors are working together. UNLESS, the community is not healthy enough to receive that influx of energy.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 253 The debate in academia about “Is Wikipedia reliable?” is over, because people have developed a more realistic understanding of reliability and verifiability.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 254 The development of the technology framework Wikimedia uses for knowledge curation is funded by a wide coalition of partners, and Wikimedia can direct most of its technology funds to features specific to the movement. Use of our technology (and the associated legal and social plumbing, such as free licenses) has become commonplace.
Australian Community A Australian Community Darwin various 40 7 Wikimedians can be intermediaries between the projects and external partners, and they need support in this (even if this means they're doing less of their own contributions).
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 255 It will be common knowledge among researchers and scholars as well as their professional organizations that documenting themselves in Wikimedia projects is critical to their own success in disseminating knowledge.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 256 Wikimedia hosts a set of wiki-like technologies that make it easier to produce and share knowledge broadly (Original Research). This disrupted the current closed/paywalled system/culture through broad adoption by educators.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 257 The majority of Wikimedia community members [will] have some experience or understanding of how to talk with other communities beyond the Wikimedia community. Now, many Wikimedian's don't understand how their work interacts with and affects the work of others.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 258 Most knowledge professionals understand how to participate in and access. Professionals don't fully realize what some of our organizing principles, such as "open content" and open contribution environments, mean for advancement of their own efforts.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 259 Community members, subject matter experts, and professors have come together to pool resources in creating curriculums that integrate Wikimedia content. Content is contributed, edited, and curated in such a way that students regardless of geographic location, can consume this knowledge, progress their learning, and be awarded recognition for their efforts.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 260 When we reach out to partners, we can offer them a healthy and safe space where they can make meaningful contributions. We have emphasized places of mutual benefit, where people gain skills by participating in our spaces, and we gain with more diverse and global contributors/contributions.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 261 Wikimedia, GLAM, schools and governments have banded together to make a freely accessible library of texts and digital media representative of what school aged children need to learn and succeed. Wikimedia and its partners provide tools for individuals and institutions to digitize, store and describe their materials. The library is available in all languages and can be accessed freely.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 262 In 2030, when people talk about the public domain, they will think immediately of the Wikimedia projects as the central source.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 263 In 2030, we help collate, define, and demonstrate, many best-practices to like-minded partner organisations. Less insular, and more bi-directional.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 264 The structure of formal education looks different because educational institutions and knowledge bodies have been connected. Less people are kept out, more people have a higher education level.

Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire A Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire Strategy meet-up Abidjan June 10, 2017 Abidjan in-person 27 55 The transmission of knowledge uses several tools and means including encyclopedias. And wikipedia is an excellent platform for disseminating knowledge.
Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire A Wikimedia Community User Côte d'Ivoire Strategy meet-up Abidjan June 10, 2017 Abidjan in-person 27 56 Knowledge is lost if it is not saved. So, wikipedia (wikimedia) should not stop sharing knowledge. It should not be selective in the choice of topics. It must be able to diversify the subjects and deepen actions in several areas.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 267 There is a clear series of paths from knowledge archives to knowledge users, and a confident path for hailing knowledge “consumers” into knowledge “makers/participants”
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 268 Wikipedia and our sister projects have become accepted standard in knowledge. Our content, both of the creation side and the distribution side, will be well integrated with the latest creation and delivery platforms. Other organizations will have a good understanding of how our projects and model works and have well established workflows to provide content for them based on their expertise and speciality.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 269 Every knowledge organization will find a suitable project in the Wikimedia movement which becomes their natural platform for knowledge production, consumption and dispersal. These projects evolve a set of tools and practices that are typical for the needs for each of these players. It will be a galaxy of many wikis.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 270 We can develop partnerships with technology organizations (part of the Theme B) and then serve as a bridge between those partners and others who may not have access to those same sorts of resources.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 271 We're increasingly acting as a structured data hub, which allows for different ways in which our knowledge can be baked into other projects, materials and structures. Structured Commons, Wikisource, and Wiktionary are going to be increasingly more valuable as structured data kicks in.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 272 Allowing for better scaling beyond the current dynamic. A lot of our community is very much dependent on the goodwill of external organizations, whereas if we were more oriented towards the network: its about win-win collaboration. It also better describes the landscape of the work our projects do beyond Wikipedia.
Wikimedia Deutschland (discussion at the general meeting of members) A Wikimedia Deutschland (discussion at the general meeting of members) Bamberg, Germany in-person 15 22 Very important: If we define our role in the knowledge ecosystem we will have a better understanding of what communities we need and where we should focus within the community theme.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 73 This theme is more of a HOW proposition, about how to best achieve something, in this case becoming a central part of worldwide education. Education would be a if not the most important WHAT theme. But as is, this theme is about the framework and not abput the objective, and as such not very important relative to the others.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 74 Pretty important: We need to collaborate within our Movement but also with Partners in Crime to be stronger and engage e.g. in politics. We need the exchange to widen our view of the world and to learn lessons from others. We need to support those who are innovative, even if they might fail.
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 75 This aspect has the highest potential to take Wikimedia’s impact in the world to the next level.

Iberoconf 2017 A Iberoconf 2017 Buenos Aires, Argentina in-person 36 56 Diversity of content: fight intrinsic bias.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 273 This theme supports the theme B. For example, we should work with other free knowledge organizations on open source machine translation, rather than just relying on what's already out there, or trying to do it ourselves.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 274 This theme is the most flexible and independent. It's required for us to create a truly global movement, but it hasn't hard dependencies on anything else. Because we can partner at so many levels, with so many different types of entities, we are free to do so at any level of our strategic progress. But it's imperative that we do find and maintain good partnerships.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 275 Engaging the knowledge system allows us to conscientiously engage in both the diversity focused themes (A and C), bring value to us as theme D, and ultimately create more actors willing to engage with us through automation and tooling to unlock our knowledge.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 276 Theme D seems to go hand-in-hand with this theme. Part of getting other organizations to work with us is to engage with them in a professional manner. Partners have some clarity and understanding on what the Wikimedia movement is - and why that is valuable. When members of the movement reach out to new orgs that they are empowered to speak with confidence about movement, it's values and value, and how/why that is alluring to them.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 277 It will require work that falls into some of the purview of the other themes.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 278 This theme needs the most momentum behind it, with long-term sustainable work in both directions (inward and outward), hence is not the most urgent near-term priority. However, Short-term, it would be good to organize/improve/refine the details about existing partnerships and existing best-practices, structured in a way that best allows for (expected) growth patterns.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 279 This theme could be interpreted as a tactic -- how to get where we want to go -- as well as an outcome. As a tactic, it could support our ability to achieve all of the other themes.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 280 Choose our partnerships wisely - somewhat consistent with the values, but we don’t have to agree on everything. Each has a different worldview and focus.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 281 There is more focus on working within and among the ecosystems that could be benefiting from what we are doing. The mix of "formal and informal" education speaks to the bulk of the motivations and reasons for engaging in our projects.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 282 To what extent are educational institutions currently built on an assumption that knowledge and learning are difficult to access, and those institution’s business model is to provide that access? When those barriers to access are lowered, what does that mean for the institutions?
Wikimedia Deutschland staff A Wikimedia Deutschland (staff) Berlin Local wiki 11 78 Movement players need to practice and learn working with our communities and with institutions and 'external' partners at the same time, and to navigate the diversity in cultures and resulting tensions towards collective impact.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 290 Many Wikimedians don’t know who’s affected by their work. Would like contributors to become aware of knowledge groups. Would also like knowledge groups to know how the community(ies) works.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 286 A sense of coalition - work closely together to preserve the free and open internet.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 289 Wikimedia as a place for producers of knowledge would be nice for, for example, researchers to be recognized and findable.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 293 Would be nice if ecosystem would get more involved in knowledge production. Technology like PAWS makes stuff open and collaborative by default, in opposition to the closed research model. Educators love stuff like PAWS - it’s just easier to have common infrastructure.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 295 We should get into the business of knowledge production. Take for example oral citations: it’s knowledge production. In a way, we’re producing something that’s cite-able. Would like us to make open, collaborative knowledge production space. Lots of evidence that people who work on things like Wikipedia might like knowledge production. We might be able to organize events, although not necessarily funding actual knowledge production.

Wikimedia Deutschland (discussion at the general meeting of members) A Wikimedia Deutschland (discussion at the general meeting of members) Bamberg, Germany in-person 15 23 Wikipedia - the encylopedia - is our core asset. We should focus on the encylopedia and shouldn't aim to include every form of knowledge (like manuals, recipes...) in Wikipedia. However, different forms of knowledge can be gathered in other Wikimedia projects.
Wikimedia District of Columbia A Wikimedia District of Columbia Washington, DC in-person 9 36 Having too much structure could dampen volunteer enthusiasm.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 283 We need a system to understand how we do best. This is difficult, as things are changing so quickly. For instance Chat - our articles might be too heavy. Voice might lean toward speak. No one besides Google wants to map this - and that’s to put them in orbit. - if we understand this larger ecosystem, we will be able to engage in it much better.
Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 287 Revised theme: We will build bi-directional relationships with a wide variety of organizations and communities dedicated to the ideals of free knowledge. Wikimedia communities will work with allies that they didn’t know they had. Our content and technology will become a central part of formal and informal education around the world. We will partner with leading institutions in education, arts, entertainment, civil society, government, science, and technology. Wikimedia will pull its weight in these partnerships, strengthening the broader free knowledge movement and reaching out so free knowledge can impact the wider world. Together, we will provide platforms for a new generation of people who learn, create, and care for a growing library of free knowledge for all.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 294 We should be thinking about facilitating as many institutions as possible to collaborate. 1-on-1 partnerships may not necessarily scale. But public institutions might be able to enact or pioneer change.
Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) A Wikimedia Deutschland (Board & ED) Frankfurt am Main, Germany in-person 8 43 By working with institutions we can make new content available and free knowledge.

Wikimedia Foundation staff A Wikimedia Foundation staff various virtual conference 90 285 What does partnership mean? Perhaps that is working with allies - the examples we are using need to be more clear and evocative. What we are doing and with whom?
Wikimedia Israel A Wikimedia Israel Givatayim, Israel in-person 23 47 The subject of cooperation is not as basic as the issues of Source of Knowledge, communities and The Augmented Age. In the last three Wikipedia is conditional. But, for 10-15 years we have lived "within ourselves", and we may have exhausted the inner resources of the community and the movement. Turning to new partners is a product of future growth
Wikimedia Israel A Wikimedia Israel Givatayim, Israel in-person 23 48 The issue of "A Truly Global Movement" is less important to me because it will require resources from another, more fundamental or more important place, and this development can even happen without our push
Wikimedia Israel A Wikimedia Israel Givatayim, Israel in-person 23 49 It is impossible to give up on any theme, because all themes are like tools that are intertwined and connected. For example, on "A Truly Global Movement" - if non-mainstream population groups can not be represented - Wikipedia may be perceived as a site that represents a specific group and therefore unreliable

German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [852] Local wiki 7 2 "Healthy"? "Augmented"? "Truly global"? "most respected"? "Ecosystem"? Really? Good night.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [853] Local wiki 7 3 Certainly. For someone having problems with writing articles he can find alternative facts themes here.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [854] Local wiki 7 4 The phrasing used for the themes is disgusting advertising language. That's ironic considering that hardly a Wikipedia is more paranoid regarding advertisment than the English Wikipedia. The text chunks are bordering illegibility. The whole project is designed in a way that finally only a few bureaucrats will be interested in the result, because most real Wikipedians who want to write articles won't be interested into digging through this mass of unpleasant clutter. The WMF is proving once again that all attempts at involving communities are just a fig leaf. The message is that they don't want to be disturbed by editors. So it doesn't matter finally that the problems of the communities that were voiced did not make it into this high gloss advertising text. I feel taken for a ride.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [855] Local wiki 7 5 Interestingly once again the criticism about the power structure has been entirely kept out of the strategy process, although it has been voiced many times. It doesn't seem to fit, they don't want to hear it. Would disturb the high gloss presentation.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [856] Local wiki 7 6 The wording got improved, so it is not the blather it appeared to be at the beginning. One could think about one of those themes if one felt addressed. On the other hand the entire opinon-forming-process looks like brainstorming for young businessmen. Well, the whole thing is no concern of mine.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [857] Local wiki 7 7 Even the discussion pages are pre-structured. In politics you call that a procedural ruse. This is a strategic discussion manipulation. The WMF staff is acting like apparatchiks of the CPSU. Nothing is supposed to disrupt their narrow-minded world-view.
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [858] Local wiki 7 9 The goals of WMF are primarily aligned to the reputation of their projects, which can be transformed into reputation for their functionaries and fundraising. And for this reputation conflict is less presentable as these inflated advertising messages. What makes me sit up and take notice is a certain abandonment of the encyclopedia as the principal medium. Are that really suggestions by a movement that mainly consists of communities? Or rather something that the WMF is reading into the process?
German language Kurier B German Language Kurier discussion [859] Local wiki 10 Healthy, advancing, truly global, most trusted, engaging. This is the vocabulary of modern exploitation.

German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [860] Local wiki 7 2 Our discussions of cylcle 1 are not represented in cycle 2. Insted we get exposed to an absurd list of themes. I support a Norwegian user who said "I don't see any relevance at all for me in this. It reads like something from a cult/fringe political movement (been there, so I know) or internal company promotion." ([1]) That is exacly my impression.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [861] Local wiki 7 4 The most important question: How do we change the balance of power within the Foundation so that communites actually will have a say. That would be a task for the next years.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [862] Local wiki 7 5 I am sceptical about the significance of the communities. In those cases where it really counts we as a community don't manage to get a consensus for necessary changes. So why should we be able to take part in Foundation decisions? In the real world we have political parties with election programs and voters chose from those. We need something simliar. Only that way we can distill one voice from thousands of voices.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [863] Local wiki 7 6 We do not need one voice in WMF and de.wp. At the moment WMF completely finds itself in limbo. It does not have any legitimation in the communities and elsewhere. It would be a giant step if this could be recognized as a problem even once.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [864] Local wiki 7 7 I could imagine a membership vote to transform WMF into a membership organization. Like this we'd have procedures of negotiations and decisions, of votes and elections. This is common in many organizations. But that WMF fears that like the devil fears holy water I can understand.
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [865] Local wiki 7 8 We could be asked which computers WMF will buy or who to hire. But a membership organization causes problems as we can see with Wikimedia Deutschland. A solution could be to have communities as members, meaning that each community has 1 voice. But this would not work without a corresponding structure (election programms, elections).
German language Wikipedia B German Language Wikipedia [866] Local wiki 7 9 As long as this problem is not seen we don't need to discuss further. The WMF is happy that it can do whatever it wants, although it does not produce anything by itself. For that it needs the free and self-driven work of the communities. Since it is proven that the communites are not able or don't want to transform this dependance into threat and pressure potential, WMF is acting just according to its own interests and does not care to a large extent if people care about that or not. You can see this in the strategy process. Although many contributors voiced a legitimacy and democracy deficit, that was not inlcuded into the allegedly participatory strategy process.
