Hello, Andrerodriguex. Welcome to the Wikimedia Meta-Wiki! This website is for coordinating and discussing all Wikimedia projects. You may find it useful to read our policy page. If you are interested in doing translations, visit Meta:Babylon. You can also leave a note on Meta:Babel or Wikimedia Forum if you need help with something (please read the instructions at the top of the page before posting there). Also worthwhile acquainting yourself with the functions of global user pages. Happy editing!

... and welcome again! (from me personally) edit

Hope you will find Meta wiki not too abstract and strange to navigate *(it is abstract and strange for most), so you can contribute not only in content but also in organizational, operational and administrative efforts of coordinated and collaborative work here! --Zblace (talk) 08:47, 10 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

Thanks! The adding/editing content part was pretty intuitive though I have to agree that sometimes it's a little bit abstract (but I like challenge so it's okay, haha). I'm hoping to get familiar soon so I can help in other areas, looking forward to it! Andrerodriguex (talk) 12:58, 10 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Andrerodriguex Queering Wikipedia 2022 is happening next evening Friday and afternoon Saturday in UTC, so more info would be available to refine plans and to build new tasks. Hope you are available to attend at least in part. --Zblace (talk) 13:02, 15 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Zblace. I received the Zoom meeting confirmation for the Saturday event, but did not get a link for Friday. Will I be able to attend by the same link or should I register myself in other place? Andrerodriguex (talk) 21:09, 19 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Andrerodriguex it should be the same - @OwenBlacker please confirm. --Zblace (talk) 07:34, 20 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
It isn't the same link, but you should have received an email yesterday with a link for Friday. Let me know urgently (on Telegram or via Z) if you did not :) — OwenBlacker (Talk) 14:19, 21 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

I'll be attending for sure! Thanks for letting me know. Andrerodriguex (talk) 01:57, 16 October 2022 (UTC)Reply

@Andrerodriguex nice that you came around. How is your Spanish? Would you be able to help take notes in Spanish or English today? --Zblace (talk) 05:57, 22 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi, @Zblace! The meetings were really nice and people on the community seemed very welcoming. Unfortunately I couldn't help with Spanish notes because I don't feel that comfortable writing in Spanish, but I helped with the English notes a little bit. Should we start preparing the official documentation for the 2022 edition? Andrerodriguex (talk) 22:36, 22 October 2022 (UTC)Reply
Hi @Andrerodriguex ! Hope you are doing well. I just realized you wrote to me here, but I did not get a notification as the tagging of my name did not work (sometimes switching between visual and source editing does this, so double check that tagged name is active link, not just text with @ sign).
To answer your question: YES we should do this soon. I was busy with travel and some emergencies, but yes - next days should be better to advance this. --Zblace (talk) 09:10, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
@Zblace My bad, I didn't notice the tagging was off, but it's nice that you're back. Thanks for the reply, I will wait for more instructions so we can work on the documentation. Andrerodriguex (talk) 23:37, 18 November 2022 (UTC)Reply

It is online on 12, 14 and 17 May, the International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia and Transphobia #IDAHOBIT, with offline events at around 10 locations on 5 continents in the 5-day span as QW2023 Nodes.

The online program is delivered as a series of keynotes, panels, presentations, workshops, lightning talks and creative interventions, starting on Friday noon (UTC) with the first keynote of Dr Nishant Shah entitled: I spy, with my little AI — Wikiway as a means to disrupt the ‘dirty queer’ impulses of emergent AI platforms. Second keynote is at Sunday’s closure by Esra’a Al Shafei, Wikimedia Foundation’s Board of Trustees vice chair, entitled: Digital Public Spaces for Queer Communities.
