Abstract: Wikipedia and Turkic cultures: Past, Present and Future.
Traditional culture is a culture of a society living in line with traditional values. The spread of scientific inquiry followed by technological revolution, industrialization and following globalization of economy pushes traditional cultures into the realms of cultural heritage and cultural identity. Most societies of Turkic people are in the process of completing their transition from agrarian into industrial societies.
As a project directed at documenting all sum of human knowledge and preserving it for future generations that receives global attention, Wikipedia is arguably the best location for uploading individuals' cultural knowledge for making them available to others. 2008 UNESCO document “Securing a Place for a Lnguage in Cyberspace” outlining steps for preservation of language and related culture in the era of cyberspace names use of Wikipedia as an important tool in this undertaking. Wikimedia Foundation & Wikimedia Community currently support around a dozen of various other platforms for promotion of knowledge (Wiktionary, Wikiquote, Wikisource, Wikibooks, Wikiversity, etc.), all of which are open for Turkic-language communities if they are ready & capable of using respective resources.
Out of a total of 35 initiated Turkic Wikipedias, currently only 20 have active users & 16 exist as a stand-alone projects outside Wiki-incubator. Global contact center for representatives of local cultures Wikimedia Indigenous Languages project (English) and its Russian mirror Проект:Разделы Википедии на региональных языках России provide methodological support for those interested in contributing into Small and New Wikis. 10 of Russia's 16 Turkic Wikipedias still undergo incubation – with a new Siberian Tatar Wikipedia project being most active among those. -- Frhdkazan (talk) 12:16, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Традиционной считается культура традиционного общества, живущего в соответствие с традиционными ценностями. Развитие метода научного познания и последовавшие далее технологическая революция, индустриализация и глобализация экономики вытесняют традиционную культуру из активной повседневной жизни, оставляя ей нишу в сфере культурного наследия и культурной идентичности. Большинство тюркских народов сейчас одновременно совершают переход от аграрного общества к обществу индустриальному и экономике знаний, и осмысление своего культурного наследия в такой ситуации является особенно актуальным.
Важным шагом для сохранения нематериального наследия для последующих поколений является ее документация, обеспечение доступности указанных культурных знаний и постоянная работа по их популяризации. Ориентированная на документирование всей совокупности знаний человечества и сохранения их для будущих поколений,[12] Википедия является самым популярным энциклопедическим ресурсом Интернета, стабильно входит в первую десятку самых посещаемый сайтов.[1] Благодаря технологии «Вики»,[27] свои знания в энциклопедию может внести любой читатель, а система правил и процедур проекта [22] обеспечит постепенное улучшение качества статей. В результате, использование возможностей данного проекта является одним из важнейших инструментов для сохранения языка и связанной культуры в эру Интернета.[11, с. 8] Фонд Викимедиа и участники Сообщества Викимедиа по состоянию на данный момент поддерживают также развитие около десятка других платформ для популяризации знаний (Викисловарь, Викицитатник, Викитека, Викиучебник, Викиверситет, и т.д.), вместе представляющие собой интегрированное информационное пространство.[30] Все эти ресурсы открыты для тюркоязычных народов, если в их среде найдутся сообщества, готовые воспользоваться соответствующими возможностями.
Упоминание опубликованных результатов научных работ и практических исследований в статьях английской Википедии,[26] на счету которой (более 60% всех обращений к Википедии,[23] или одного из разделов на региональных языках международного общения (русский, французский, испанский или арабский) позволяет донести знания до наибольшей потенциальной аудитории, однако исследования по традиционным тюркским культурам будут представлять особую ценность и актуальность для постоянных читателей Википедий на тюркских языках.[5]
Из общего числа Википедий, инициированных на тюркских языках (35), активная жизнь на сегодня наблюдается в 20, а 16 из них уже живут самостоятельной жизнью за пределами Вики-инкубатора.[5] Развитие контента о культурном наследии соответствующего народа и культурных реалиях его современной жизни является одним из естественных приоритетов малых и новых языковых разделов,[21] тогда как одним из распространенных способов популяризации культурной информации являются вынесение соответствующей информации на заглавную страницу проекта или создание тематических порталов.[13] Методологическая поддержка всем заинтересованным вносить свой вклад в развитие малых Вики-проектов оказывается в рамках работы центра координации усилий по поощрению и развитию в проектах Викимедиа автохтонных языков Wikimedia Indigenous Languages [33] и его российского аналога “Проект: Разделы Википедии на региональных языках России”.[14] Из восемнадцати Википедий на языках тюркских народов России одиннадцать все еще живут в инкубаторе: самый активный рост показывает новичок – сибирскотатарская Википедия.[4]
Все языковые разделы Википедии на языках тюркских народов взятые вместе отстают по количеству статей, глубине их проработке и активности пользователей даже от русской, не говоря уже об английской Википедии.[24][25] В связи с этим википедисты, вносящие свой вклад в развитие разделов на языках тюркских народов, параллельно ведут работу над проектами по написанию и улучшению наиболее актуальных статей, категоризации накопленного материала, переводу и адаптации руководств по развитию своих разделов и популяризации этого информационного проекта в социальных сетях.[7] Целенаправленной межъязыковой координации между языковыми разделами Википедии на тюркских языках пока не ведется, сотрудничество осуществляется на уровне индивидуальных запросов пользователей-редакторов, которые знакомятся друг с другом на электронных вики-форумах или (реже) в ходе офлайн Вики-конференций. Ближайшее подобное мероприятие в России проходит в г. Уфа 24-26 апреля 2015 г.[6] В некоторых тюркоязычных разделах Википедии уже сформировались такие устойчивые центры поддержки развития проектов, как региональные организации в Турции[17] и Казахстане,[9] или тематические группы пользователей Азербайджанской Википедии,[8] другие разделы находятся в процессе объединение своих пользователей (Кыргызстан),[10] но большинству это еще только предстоит. В рамках подготовки доклада по текущим тезисам, в татарской Википедии был создан ресурс, отражающий базовые статистические и контактные данные по тюркоязычным разделам Википедии [5], далее планируется сбор более детальной информации о происходящем в тюркских Вики-сообществах в культурном аспекте [16] посредством массового обращения активным пользователям с опросниками типа «Расскажите нам о вашей Википедии».[18][19]

Обсуждение
editФархад, мне кажется, вполне нормальное для научной тусовки сообщение. Если правильно понимаю, основной задачей является заявить о факте существования таких проектов, как тюркские википедии, а также их сообществ?
Можно было бы немного сузить название сообщения, а именно - не акцентировать его временнЫе рамки. Впрочем, можно и оставить.
Что касается текста самой аннотации, у меня есть парочка предложений. Третье предложение первого абзаца предлагаю убрать, так как это действие существенно не ухудшит информативности сообщения, но одновременно улучшит адекватность восприятия информации, которую мы хотим донести до уважаемой аудитории.
В первом предложении второго абзаца предлагаю заменить эпитет "наилучшая", применительно к википедии как площадке, на более нейтральный (использовать менее превосходную степень, "одна из лучших...", "возможно, практически единственная..."), или добавить ссылку на источник, утверждающий это (по свидетельству...), либо, как вариант, точно указать область, где она наилучшая.
Конец последнего предложения второго абзаца предлагаю модифицировать следующим образом: "если найдутся сообщества, готовые воспользоваться возможностями указанных ресурсов".
В последнем абзаце можно убрать слово "зеркало", заменив его на "аналог" (ни зеркалом, ни ответвлением центра координации данный проект не является).
Позвольте подчеркнуть, что это лишь мое мнение. Принять участие в научной конференции и заявить о проектах, развивающихся в рамках Викимедиа - прекрасная идея! Буду рад, если кто-то поедет и представит наше сообщество. Что касается меня, то существенные транспортные затраты (Якутск-Мск-Уфа-Канаш-обратно) вряд ли будут восприняты организаторами с радостью ;) HalanTul (talk) 23:42, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
- Николай, предложенные изменения внес, в некоторых аспектах даже расширил и добавил доп.материал - результат выше (см. английский оригинал и русский результат). Тему приняли и для публикации тезисов в сборнике конференции предложили в течение 3 дней прислать текст оформленный по ГОСТу. Раб.языки - русский, татарский, турецкий. Направил запросы на потенциальное очное представление тюркоязычных Википедий активным участникам татарской и чувашской Википедий, также опубликовал информацию на СО проекта Разделы Википедии на региональных языках России. На мои публикации на форумах тюркоязычных Википедий отреагировали казахские и азербайджанские коллеги, другие видимо заняты. По результатам публикации информации на английском в почтовой рассылке Wikimedia Indigenous Languages и на турецком на контактный эл.ящик заявленный в турецкой Википедии обратной связи пока также не было. Спасибо за Ваш вклад. -- Frhdkazan (talk) 12:41, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- Рахмет! Буду рад получить окончательный вариант материала. Судя по переписке, в Канаш может Каийр поехать? С ним я познакомился на московской конференции, очень интересный человек. Одна просьба. Из другой области. Заметил, что в татароязычных ресурсах используется слово "якут" и его производные. Прошу наряду с ним (в идеале - вместо него:) использовать и синоним "саха", "язык саха". Еще одно: внес немного стилистических правок в переведенный Вами текст Руководства. Большое дело сделали! --HalanTul (talk) 00:38, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Судя по пресс-релизу[1] Министерства культуры РТ, цели данного мероприятия немного другие. В Вашем докладе я не нашёл обещанного в теме отражения культурных традиций в тюркских Википедиях. Ладно, хоть заявите татарской общественности г.Канаша о существовании Татарской Википедии. Успехов.--Әмир (talk) 22:36, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
- User:Әмир/tt:User:Әмир, Отражение и сохранение традиционной культуры тюркских народов в тюркских Википедиях - это как раз одно из самых актуальных направлений деятельности тюркских Википедий, т.е. повседневная деятельность участников, как вы, я, Николай из СахаВики, Каийр из КазахВики, Рустэм из БашВики и т.д. Аннотация выше - лишь свого рода введение, тезисы доклада, который еще предстоит "вырастить" на базе материала, который могут внести участники тюркоязычных Википедий (за следующие 25 дней). За нас это делать никто не станет. Поможете связаться с активными участниками тюркских проектов или предложить часть материала?
Фонд Викимедиа взялся сохранить введенный контент в течение неограниченного срока, а для поддержки и продвижения проектов Викимедии по географическим территориям появились региональные отделения, главной целью которых является побуждать и привлекать к участию людей по всему миру для того, чтобы собирать и предоставлять общеобразовательный контент с бесплатной лицензией или в открытом доступе, а также его эффективное распространение на мировом уровне. Задачей участия в данной конференции членов тюркских википедий и российское региональное отделение Викимедиа вижу обратить внимание тюркского академического и около-академического сообщества на возможности Википедий как авеню для популяризации их научной деятельности и прочих задач - об этом здесь и здесь. -- Frhdkazan (talk) 08:29, 14 March 2015 (UTC)

Подготовка доклада
edit
Павел обратил мое внимание на наличие стандартных ознакомительного текста про Википедию и карманного вики-справочника, которые (если будет перевод на татарский и другие тюркские языки), он любезно согласился сверстать. Планирую заняться татарским, но для выверки стилистики однозначно обращусь за помощью других участников ТатВики. -- Frhdkazan (talk) 08:29, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Николай, исходя из имеющегося у Вас опыта, предлагаю подготовить некий стандартный перечень вопросов, касающихся сохранения и популяризации традиционных тюркских культур на просторах или с помощью Википедии (на подобии Расскажите нам о вашей Википедии или Tell us about your Wikipedia) и далее обратиться к ключевым активным пользователям тюркоязычных Википедий и региональные отделения Викимедиа соответствующих стран (Wikimedia Azerbaijan/Azerbaijani Wikimedians User Group, Wikimedia Ukraine - крымскотатарская, крымчакская, Wikimedia Iran/Persian Wiki User Group - южноазербайджанская, кашкайская, Wikimedia Moldova - гагаузская, Wikimedia Uzbekistan - каракалпакская, Wikimedia Kazakhstan, Wikimedia Kyrgyzstan, Wikimedia Turkmenistan, Wikimedia Turkey, Wikimedia China/Wikimedia User Group China - уйгурская) с просьбой выслать или опубликовать ответы на эти вопросы. Письмо-запрос берусь перевести на английский (при необходимости и турецкий) и разослать/оставить на СО ключевых активных пользователей. Нужна помощь с составлением приемлемого набора вопросов на тему и продумыванием полной логистики процесса. -- Frhdkazan (talk) 17:37, 14 March 2015 (UTC)
- Весьма здравая идея. Я несколько раз к ней подступался, в том числе во время подготовки к смоленской и в рамках предстоящей уфимской вики-конференций. Мы с Рустамом рассылали письма с тем, чтобы люди хотя бы откликнулись. Но всерьез к формированию самого опросника так и не приступил. Причин основных два. Первое - откликов на обращения с просьбой рассказать о себе и своем проекте бывает очень мало (возможно, в будущем отчасти тут может помочь прямой звонок). Второе - значительным препятствием к объективизации сведений может быть естественное желание быть или выглядеть лучшим среди равных, или по крайней мере не выглядеть бледно по сравнению с другими. Но давайте попробуем. Возможно стоит опираться на сведения, которые можно получить из статистики. А интервью брать для уточнения деталей, а также для того, чтобы понять какие настроения в проекте и какие перспективы видят ключевые лица. --HalanTul (talk) 23:08, 16 March 2015 (UTC)
- К Вики-Сабантую в Уфе хотелось бы начать подобную работу и вокруг странички w:ru:Википедия:Разделы Википедии на языках России (и её английских/татарских близнецов). - Frhdkazan (talk) 15:14, 18 March 2015 (UTC)

editХочу кратко познакомить Вас с проектом, направленным на выявление лучших практик обеспечения долгосрочной жизнеспособности разделов Википедии, текущими результатами и актуальными выводами. На текущий момент подготовлена основа для анализа разделов на языках тюркских народов и народов России, сделаны первые шаги для потенциального включения всех разделов. Во второй части своего выступления постараюсь проанализировать причины сегодняшнего состояния ТатВики и первоочередные задачи для активизации ее развития.
Для достижения заявленных идеалов участникам любого начинания необходимо:
- обладать пониманием реального состояния проекта
- иметь доступ к информации о лучших практиках среди разделов
- желание и готовность предлагать, обсуждать и принимать предложения по изменению текущего состояния.
Идеалы Википедии:
- Википедия является совместной собственностью всех ее участников — текущих и потенциальных, сегодня и в будущем.
- Достижение цели создания Википедии — создание возможности доступа ко всему богатству энциклопедических знаний человечества на родном языке — и дальнейшее поддержание достигнутого состояния этого ресурса возможно только при задействовании в этом проекте значимой части представителей всех языковых групп человечества на повседневной основе и их активном взаимодействии.
Инструменты анализа группового поведения позволяют социологам описывать уникальные культуры народов или отдельной совокупности индивидуумов и диагностировать слабые места для целостности конкретной группы. Простейшим инструментом для получения подобных аналитических данных для диагностики Википедии является сравнение соотношений статистичеких показателей разделов. Для этого в татарском разделе докладчиком были созданы аналоги страниц «w:ru:Википедия:Список Википедии», «w:ru:Википедия:Разделы Википедии на языках России», а также «w:tt:Википедия:Төрки халыклар телләрендәге Википедияләр», в которых собраны абсолютные и относительные статистические показатели, характеризующие особенности разделов.
Базовые гипотезы и допущения:
- Жизнь Вики-проекта — постоянное создание новых и улучшение существующих страниц.
- Здоровье Вики-проекта — активность и качество взаимоотношений в проекте.
- Большинство посетителей и активных участников проектов — лица, читающие на языке.
- Носители языка ~ читающие/пишущие на языке
Абсолютные: Кол-во статей, посещений (заглавн.страница) и активных пользователей (30 дней), носителей языка, администраторов и бюрократов.
Относительные:
- Посещения / Статьи — чем больше число, тем богаче разнообразие тем, потенциально замечаемые посетителем раздела.
- Посещения / Акт. участники – чем выше число, тем более популярен раздел среди читающих на данном языке.
- Статьи / Акт. участники - чем выше число, тем больше усилий должны прилагать участники для обновления статей (поддержания актуальности информации).
- Носители / Посещения – чем меньше число, тем выше популярность раздела среди носителей языка.
- Носители / Акт. участники – чем выше число, тем больше усилий необходимо для трансформации раздела в авторитетный источник энциклопедической информации.
- Администраторы / Акт. участники – чем выше число, тем дружелюбнее взаимодействие внутри проекта.
- Бюрократы / Администраторы – чем выше число, тем сильнее влияние бюрократ/а (ов) на атмосферу в проекте.
Статистические данные (для Википедий на языках России имеющих собственный домен):
- Самые читаемые статьи — в разделе на мокшанском языке (далее на тувинском и русском). Ниже татарской — только чеченская (активная ботозаливка).
- Самое высокая доля активных участников среди посетителей — в разделе на лакском языке (далее на русском и коми-пермякском). У татар тут дела чуть лучше чем у башкир, чувашей и украинцев.
- Самое большое внимание активных участников получают статьи в разделе на тувинском языке (далее на бурятском и аварском). Татары в конце списка — чуть лучше чем у чеченцев, чуть хуже чем у чувашей.
- Самое высокое отношение посещений и активных участников к кол-ву говорящих на языке — в разделе на мокшанском языке (далее на вепсском и горномарийском). По обоим показателям лучше чем у татар ситуация только в разделах на идише и кабардинско-черкесском.
- Самая высокая степень доверия (дружелюбная атмосфера взаимодействия) внутри проекта в разделе на лезгинском языке (далее на эрзянском и мокшанском). Наибольшая степень централизации власти в русской (далее украинской, чеченской, крымскотатарской, чувашской, бурятской и татарской).
- Самое сильное влияние бюрократ/а (ов) на атмосферу в проекте в разделе на карачай-балкарском языке (далее калмыкском и саха). Менее авторитарны бюрократы в татарской/башкирской/удмуртской (поровну), украинской и русской Википедиях.
Предварительные выводы:
- Организовать каталог лучших практик разделов на языках России.
- Изучить способы объединения усилий российских и русскоговорящих википедистов по совместной популяризации и поддержке развития многоязычной Википедии.
- Наладить обмен лучшими практиками с представителями других разделов, участвующими в международном проекте по развитию Википедий на региональных языках.

Актуальность темы лучше высказать перефразированием знаменитого аята из Корана - «Безразличие к сложностям в жизни отдельного Вики-проекта равносильно безответственности по отношению к своему».[1]
Татарская Википедия [2] — языковой раздел Википедии на татарском языке,[3] имеющем статус одного из государственных в Республике Татарстан [4] (татары - 53% населения, или 2,04 млн. человек). Изначально возникший на базе ряда вариантов татарской латиницы, раздел пережил попытки полного перевода проекта на кириллицу. Некая стабильность в вопросах допустимых написаний была достигнута в 2013, после утверждения Госсоветом РТ [5] общего тюркского алфавита [6] как стандарт в вопросах латинской транслитерации кириллических текстов на татарском [7] и принятия его в ТатВики как единственно допустимого для статей на латинице. [8]
Из позитивных факторов можно отметить тренд на популярность общения на татарском языке: на улицах Казани, в общественном транспорте и социальных сетях сегодня общение молодежи на родном языке уже не редкость. Данный фактор предоставляет хорошие возможности для популяризации среди татар проекта [9] и концепции свободных знаний в целом. За год с момента регистрации автором учетной записи “Татар Википедиясе” в сети Facebook (1 апреля 2014 г.) количество ее друзей перевалило за 1500 человек,[10] за этот же период среднее количество посетителей заглавной страницы возросло приблизительно на треть и перевалило 600 человек в день.[11]
Основным фактором, препятствующим повышению активности в Татарской Википедии является отсутствие дружелюбной среды совместного редактирования в связи с множественными повторяющимися нарушениями основополагающих принципов Викимедии [12] и внутренних правил проекта [13] пользователем, получившим полномочия бюрократа с нарушением местного правила о выборах администраторов и бюрократов [14], а также игнорировании этого другими действующими администраторами раздела, т.к.:
1. большинство старых участников раздела не считают базовые правила Викимедии обязательными для данного раздела;[15]
2. единственный бюрократ регулярно игнорирует действующие правила проекта, консенсусы, достигнутые в рамках дискуссий на СО,
3. предложения по устранению нарушений принципов и правил игнорируются или приводят к угрозам и/или указанию на дверь участникам, не разделяющим статуса кво (включая администраторов/бюрократов других разделов).
Основным подходом для конструктивного вклада в развитие малого языкового раздела Википедии [16] в такой ситуации является работа над задачами, которые не требуют траты времени на защиту своего вклада в проект от поползновений некого самодержца, что особенно актуально в проектах, членами которых потеря дополнительного участника (даже не во всем адекватного) рассматривается как потенциальная угроза его существованию.
Долгосрочная востребованность языка и языкового раздела Википедии не ограничивается только его функциями инструмента сохранения культурного наследия и культурной идентичности. Интенсивная глобализация и переход к экономике знаний требует активного развития возможностей языка в отражении современных реалий информационной среды. Утверждения в статьях Википедии должны подкрепляться проверяемыми ссылками на авторитетные источники, но это не мешает ей быть великолепной средой для документирования реалий, для которых в языке уже существует хотя бы относительно устоявшаяся терминология. Для этого необходима платформа для обсуждения потенциальных терминов [17] и возможность создания заготовок с подобным названием и связывания их посредством механизма ссылок интервики [18] с близнецами на других языках.
Повышение активности в проекте так или иначе зависит от активности и системности мер по его популяризации (особенно в социальных сетях), над чем участникам татарской Википедии возможно имеет смысл работать совместно как с участниками других разделов на языках тюркских народов, [19] так и с коллегами из разделов на языках других народов России.

Ф.Н. Фәткуллин
Татар Википедиясе катнашучысы Frhdkazan
Казан шәһ., Татарстан Республикасы
Теманың әһәмиятен иң яхшы рәвештә түбәндәге Коръән-Кәрим аятеннән үзгәртелгән бер өзек тасвирлый ала: «Аерым Вики-проект яшәешендәге кыенлыкларга булган битарафлык үзенекенә карата җавапсызлыкка тиң».[1]
Татар Википедиясе [2] — Википедиянең Татарстан Республикасында (татарлар - 53%, ягъни 2,04 млн. кеше)[4] дәүләт статусына ия торган телләрдән берсе булган татар телендәге бүлеге [3]. Иң баштан татар латин язуыннан берничә вариантлар нигезендә барлыкка килеп бүлек тулысынча кирилл язуына күчтереп карау чорын узган иде. 2013 елда ТР Дәүләт Шурасы [5] тарафыннан гомум төрки әлифбаны [6] кирилл язуыннан татар телендәге текстларны латинга күчерү [7] мәсьәләсендә стандарт буларак раслаганнан һәм ТатВикидә аны бердәнбер рөхсәтле буларак кабул иткәннән соң бераз тотрылыклы халәт урнаштырылган иде.[8]
Уңайлы факторлардан татар телендә аралашуның популярлашуы трендын билгеләп була: Казан урамнарында, җәмәгать транспортында һәм социаль челтәрләрдә яшьләрнең туган телендә аралашуы сирәк әйбер түгел инде. Шул фактор татарлар арасында проектны [9] һәм ирекле белемнәр концепциясен гомумән популярлаштыру өчен яхшы мөмкинлекләрне бирә. Бер ел эчендә Facebook челтәрендә "Татар Википедиясе" исәп язмасын теркәлүдән соң (2014 елның 1 апреле) аның дуслар саннары 1 500 кешедән артты,[10] шул ук вакыт эчендә баш биткә керүчеләрнең уртача саны өчтән бергә артып көненә 600 кешене тәшкил итте.[11]
Татар Википедиясендә активлыкның артуына каршы килүче төп факторы булып идарәчеләрне һәм бюрократларны сайлау турындагы урындагы кагыйдәне [14] бозып бюрократ вәкаләтен алган кулланучы тарафыннан Викимедианың төп нигезле кагыйдәтләрен [12] һәм проектның эчке кагыйдәләрен [13] күпләп кабатланучы бозулар сәбәпле бергәләп төзәтүнең дустанә мохите булмавы тора, шулай ук моны бүлекнең башка гамәлдәге идарәчеләре тарафынан күрмәве, чөнки:
1. бүлек катнашучыларының күбесе Викимедияның нигезле кагыйдәләрен шушы бүлеккә мәҗбүри икәнлеген танымый;[15]
2. бердәнбер бюрократ даими рәвештә проектның гамәлдәге кагыйдәләренә, бәхәс рәвешендәге бертавыш килешүләренә игътибар итми,
3. кагыйдәтләр һәм кагыйдәләр бозуларын бетерү буенча тәкъдимнәренә игътибар ителми яки янауга һәм/яки булган халәт белән ризалашмаучы катнашучыларга китәргә кушуга китерә (шул исәптә башка бүлекләр идарәчеләренә/бюрократларына).
Шушы хәлдә Википедиянең аз санлы телдәге бүлегенә [16] конструктив өлеш кертер өчен төп алым булып бигрәк мөһим булган потенциаль катнашучыны югалту аның булуга куркынычлы булган проектларда үз өлешне хакимиятне үз кулында тотучыдан (гәрчә барысында адекват булмаган) саклап торуга вакыт әрәм итүне таләп итмәгән мәсьәләләр өстендә эшләү була.
Телнең һәм Википедиянең телдәге бүлегенең күпвакытлы кирәклеге аның мәдәни мирасны һәм мәдәни үзбилгеләүне саклау коралы функцияләре белән генә чикләнми. Интенсив глобальләштерү һәм белем икътисадына күчү телнең мәгълүмати мохит чынбарлыгын чагылдыруда мөмкинлекләрен актив үстерүне таләп итә. Википедия мәкаләләрендәге сүзләр абруйлы чыгынакларга илткән тикшерелүче сылтанмалар белән исбатланырга тиеш, әмма бу аңа телдә инде чагыштырмача тотрыклы терминология булган чынбарлыкны документлаштыру өчен гүзәл мохит булырга камачауламый. Шуның өчен потенциаль терминнарны [17] бәхәскә кую платформасы һәм охшаш атама белән шаблоннарны булдыру һәм аларны интервики сылтамалары [18] механизмы ярдәмендә башка телләрдәге игезәкләр белән бәйләп кую мөмкинлеге кирәк.
Проекттагы активлыкның артуы ахыр чиктә Татар Википедиясе катнашучыларына бәлки башка төрки халыклар телләрендәге бүлекләр катнашучылары [19] да Рәсәйнең башка халыклары телләрендәге бүлекләрендә эшләүче хезмәттәшләр [20] белән бергәләп аны популярлаштыру (аеруча социаль челтәрләрдә) буенча чараларның активлыгы һәм системалылыгыннан тора.

This Month in Education: [March 2016]
editBy Walaa Abdel Manaem (Wikipedia Education Program Egypt) & (Egypt Wikimedians user group)
Snippet: Education Leaders at WISE Doha 2015 introducing Wikipedia Education Program in Egypt to WISE Conference attendees, as an example of a program in the Arab World, to share their experience to inspire other universities and institutions starting new programs in the area.
WISE 2015 Sessions and Plenaries were designed around three main pillars such as the UN Sustainable Development Goals; education and the economy; fostering innovation in education systems. Each pillar examined a variety of key topics including: the linkages between education, employment, and entrepreneurship; education reform and innovation in the MENA region and Qatar; emerging models of education financing, attracting, rewarding and retaining quality teachers; and the importance of investing in early childhood development.
Representatives of Wikipedia Education Program Walaa Abdel Manaem and Reem Al-Kashif participated in WISE Doha 2015 in Qatar, the annual World Innovation Summit for Education is the premier international platform dedicated to innovation and creative action in education where top decision-makers share insights with on-the-ground practitioners and collaborate to rethink education. Also, WISE 2015 was the first global education conference following the ratification of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in September 2015. Contributions ranged from Arabic Brochure of Editing Wikipedia for students in WEP in Egypt and everybody who would like to edit Wikipedia without problems, The Arabic version of Welcome to Wikipedia reference guideline, PDF of brochure handed out during Arabic Wikipedia Convening, Doha, Qatar, 2011 and Introduction to Wikipedia. These contributions are related to show a case study of Wikipedia Education program in Egypt and how it worked since February 2012 till the November 2015, as the seventh edition ended last October. All discussions were about the program's mechanism and what were the motivations keeping it going. The program helped increasing gender diversity and supported the featured content on Arabic Wikipedia. Wikipedia Education Program, like any other initiative, has achievements and dark sides, for that reason, the representatives had to locate both of them and how they influence the Arabic community and how the community interact with this phenomenon.

Snippet: A first-of-its-kind, for-credit, elective course that focuses on contributing to Wikipedia has opened at Tel Aviv University and is now available to all B.A. students on campus
On October 19th a new for-credit elective course called "Wikipedia: Skills for producing and consuming knowledge"[2] has opened at Tel Aviv University (TAU). The semester-long course (13 weeks) is available to all B.A. students on campus and this semester about 50 students from various disciplines are taking part in this first-of-its-kind course in Israel.
The course draws from "flipped classroom" concepts and uses "blended learning" methods, which practically means combining in-class lectures, workshops and small-group activities, as well as online individual learning. Both the Moodle learning management system (LMS) and the Wikipedia Education Extension are used to monitor the students' work and progress throughout the course.
The course has 2 main assignments - expanding an existing stub, as well as writing a new article, in the hopes that the content added during the course will assist not only the students themselves, but also future generations of learners as well as the general public. Though the course focuses on adding quality content to Wikipedia, it also aims to help students sharpen their academic skills and their 21st century skills, highlighting collaborative learning, joint online research and interdisciplinary collaborations in the process of constructing knowledge.
This course was initiated and is led by Shani Evenstein, an educator, Wikimedian and member of the Wikipedia Education Collaborative, in collaboration with the Orange Institute for Internet Studies, as well as the School of Education at TAU. The syllabus for the new course builds on the success of Wiki-Med, a for-credit elective course, which was designed in 2013 and is led by Evenstein at the Sackler school of Medicine for the third consecutive year. While Wiki-med is focused on contributing medical content to Wikipedia and is only available to Medical Students on campus, the new course is designed to accommodate students from different academic disciplines and varying backgrounds.
The course was chosen to be part of TAU's cross-discipline elective courses system ("Kelim Shluvim") and was approved by the Vice-Rector, who heads the program. In that, the course marks an important precedent in the collaboration between Academia and the Wikipedia Education Program, as it is the first time a higher institution acknowledges the importance of a course focusing on Wikipedia on a university level, offering it to all students, rather than a faculty level or individual lecturers as mostly practiced. It is our hope that other higher education institutions will follow this example and offer similar courses to students both in Israel and around the world.

Snippet: University professors become Wikipedians in an online course during just a week.
Educators with different profiles and from different latin america countries, but most of them professors at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA) from different faculties, have just participated in the online training and free course "Educational scenarios with technology. Among the real and the possible" organized by the Center for Innovation in Technology and Pedagogy (CITEP) of this university.
Different educational activities were carried out simultaneously. During the week and under the topic “Open movement”, Wikimedia Argentina participated with three different proposals: starting with an interview of Patricio Lorente accompanied with a short text to know more about the movement. To make an immersive experience we designed " Knowing Wikipedia by first-hand or Wikipedia in the first person" to work directly on the platform translating articles from english to spanish from a list created especially for that purpose. Along with this specific proposal, educators participated in a videoconference with Galileo Vidoni (available in Spanish), where participants could talk and learn more about how are the first steps to become a Wikipedian and the importance of the movement at the local and regional level.
With only seven days and without being mandatory, different educators discovered how to edit on Wikipedia, indeed many of them mentioned that they had it as a pending to learn and participate on the free encyclopedia, but never had the time or the real chance. The enthusiasm was also present on social networks, where they shared the experience with the hashtag #escenariostec.
The result
More than 100 educators got involved and exchanged their experience in an online forum with more of 280 messages that reflected their learning process while experiencing with the activity. 80 of them were new users, and they created 61 new articles in spanish. An important fact: 78 of them were women, which means that working with educators is a key issue to continue closing the digital gender gap.
Finally from CITEP, they shared the following insights regarding the question that ran through all the activities that took place during the week dedicated to the open movement. Some thoughts can be sum up as follows:
The collaborative production in open environments: chaos or construction? (...) For the teacher also means accepting new challenges: encourage students to produce knowledge in an environment of divergent nature, it requires permanent operations and convergence. In a space that fosters interventions unmarked, the teacher needs to frame depending on the purpose of education and teaching purposes. (…) Wikipedia is the best example of the challenges posed by the digital era in the educational field, it forces us to rethink the relationship between technology and the production of knowledge and allows us to confirm that the collaborative work does not lead to chaos, if not to the construction. (. ..) [Authors: Angeles Solectic and Miri Latorre]
We share some of the voices of the protagonists in social networks with storify (available in Spanish). Read more about the Wikipedia Education Program in Argentina here.

Snippet: The second largest university in the Czech Republic has employed a Wikipedian in residence, leading to a boom of Wikimedia activities in the city of Brno.
Collaboration between Wikipedia and Czech institutions has always been a priority for Wikimedia Czech Republic, but the year 2015 has taken this to another level. First, an official memorandum of collaboration with the National Heritage Institute (NPÚ) was signed in May 2015, to be followed by official collaboration with Masaryk University in Brno (the second largest city and university in the Czech Republic), which was contracted in November 2015. In fact, Wikimedia activities in Brno have been blooming for several years now, mainly as a result of the community's own development, but aided substantially by the external interest in Wikipedia by Masaryk University alumni society, demonstrated as early as March 2013.
In February 2015, the university employed one of the most experienced Czech Wikipedians – Marek Blahuš (Blahma) – who was appointed to become the university's first "Wikipedian in residence". Marek Blahuš has been in the center of the Wikimedia community in Brno for about two years, organizing regular Wikipedia meetups, the 2014 edition of the annual WikiConference (more in English here) and creating the Czech-Slovak Wikipedia translation tool, which has famously led to the creation of >9000 articles on Czech and Slovak Wikipedias (more in English here). His current work as Wikipedian in residence is funded by Masaryk University and runs under the patronage of Wikimedia Czech Republic as well as Masaryk University's rector Mikuláš Bek.
Since February, Wikipedia has taken a prominent role within Masaryk University. Marek Blahuš started a "Masaryk University Wikipedians team", gathering local Wikipedians and facilitating contacts with the university, aided by his status of a graduate and current employee in its language center. Articles about Masaryk University alumni and faculties have been identified and improved after consultations with Masaryk University archives and libraries which provided helpful resources. Wikipedia citation templates can now be directly generated from the university's on-line archive of theses. In September, a public conference called "Masaryk University Is Getting High on Wikipedia" took place on university grounds, featuring the experienced Wikipedian Jan Sokol (Sokoljan), who is a philosopher, university teacher and a former presidential candidate. The talks focused on the use of Wikipedia in university education, in line with the successful Czech "Students Write Wikipedia" program. One of the teachers, Jiří Rambousek, expressed his desire to organize a Wikipedia Club as a regular meetup where articles would be improved in a collaborative effort and new editors introduced to Wikipedia.
The program is actively preparing for 2016 when we expect Wikimedia Czech Republic to take a more active role in overseeing the initiatives as well as the creation of a position of a "Wikipedian in Brno" – person officially in charge of the wide array of Wikimedia activities happening in the city. The chapter's annual plan includes initiatives to increase the number of university courses which incorporate Wikipedia into the curriculum, public presentations of Wikipedia at various events, scanning and uploading of images from institutional and personal archives, and much more. Let's wish that our plans come true!

Snippet: Student participation is more than just text!
For the Fall 2015 Wiki Learning-Tec de Monterrey held two wiki expeditions in Mexico City and began a collaboration with the Museo de Arte Popular. We also received our first grant!
Wiki expeditions
editThe 32-campus Tec de Monterrey system has each semester an event called "Semana i" (i Week), when students forego normal classes for an entire week to work on challenging projects called "retos." For the Mexico City and Santa Fe campuses, one option for students was to work with Wikimedia, with the aptly named projects "Reto Wikimedia." Both campuses opted to do wiki-expeditions to different parts of Mexico City. The Mexico City campus had the larger group with almost 90 students registered, who covered the two southern boroughs of Xochimilco and Tlalpan. The Santa Fe group had 35 participants, and covered the San Ángel neighborhood found not far from this campus.
Both campus took photos of landmarks with the Mexico City campus also focusing on photos of everyday life in the south of the city. The Mexico City campus tallied 5264 photos, 8 videos and 36 articles, including articles related to the area into French, Swedish and Danish. The Santa Fe group tallied 605 photos, and ten articles in Spanish on landmarks in San Ángel.
In addition, the Mexico City campus had a special speaker the borough chronicler of Xochmilco, Sebastián Flores Farfán. A short montage video of the event is in the works.
Some student photos:
Some video clips of the event:
Animation clips with the Museo de Arte Popular
editWikiservicio, students working with Wikimedia for their community service requirement, added a new component. To attract more students and encourage more students to do all of their community service hours with Wikimedia, a collaboration was set up with the Museo de Arte Popular (MAP)... the first of many we hope! Six students from the digital art and animation major (see last newsletter) have continued working with Wikimedia, but focusing their efforts in creating short animation clips in relation to the mission of promoting and preserving Mexican folk art. One clip has been completed and can be see to the right of this text. So far, the video has subtitles in English, German, French and Punjabi. A second clip is nearing completion at the time of this writing.
Classes and Wikimetrics
editFifteen students completed work with Wikiservicio doing translations, writing new articles and doing photography projects. As of this date, 7 have indicated interest in working with Wikiservicio on campus and another six with MAP.
Five university level classes and one high school class on the Mexico City (South) campus have had projects, all in writing and translation, with some video work.
Wikimetrics for the semester are:
According to Wikimetrics tool....
- 9,589,918 bytes to Spanish Wikipedia
- 3,098 edits to the mainspace of Spanish Wikipedia
- 367 pages created in the mainspace of Spanish Wikipedia
Manual count
- 302 student and teacher participants
- 281 Spanish Wikipedia articles created or expanded
- 6,057 photographs
- 10 videos
- 9 articles in English Wikipedia
- 2 articles in French Wikipedia
- 1 article in Swedish Wikipedia
- 1 article in Danish Wikipedia
First grant Wiki Learning received its first grant from the Wikimedia Foundation. The long-term goal of this grant is to establish a system for financing Wiki Learning. The grant, which totals a modest 12,500 Mexican pesos, will be used for swag, such as t shirts, stickers, buttons, etc, especially for Semana i activities and promotion of wiki activities to other campus. The money will also be used for incidental travel expenses, especially for projects needing to move expensive camera equipment.

Snippet: Aprender para Educar writes about Wikipedia Education Program in Argentina.
The digital free magazine Aprender para Educar (Learning to educate) of the National Technological University (UTN) is recognized in the community of education and technology in Argentina to write about innovation issues in Spanish, which is not common in the academic dissemination and teacher training field.
Cristina Velazquez, general editor of the magazine invited Wikimedia Argentina to write an article that generally describes their activities in the Education Program, after reading the proposal she decided to publish it as the main article of the 12th edition.
To describe the education program, WMAR wrote two notes completing one another, as doing a zoom: from the local to the global and from the global to the local, showing how a movement of this magnitude does not stand alone, it is part of a huge network.
Melina Masnatta, education manager in WMAR and Patricio Lorente, chair of the Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees wrote those two notes.The first one focuses on the Education Program, implementation, challenges and obstacles that they had at the beginning, plans to integrate it into the classrooms in Argentina and how different Wikimedia Projects are also relevant in education. The most important thing, Melina adds, is to strengthen the values that inspire them, show how the free culture give meaning to education in general and digital culture in particular.
Meanwhile in the second part, Lorente focuses on the global movement, the community pillars, the agenda of today's challenges and the effort of their volunteers as protagonists. It is not easy show the world what drives us and why we work as volunteers in different countries. In education very few people understand the value of building free knowledge. There is still a great prejudice or negative perceptions of Wikipedia in the classroom because teachers ignore how Wikipedia is built.
Everybody reads Wikipedia, but few people edit it. We can change this fact by spreading in spaces such as the Journal of the UTN and inviting more people to collaborate and be the protagonist of this huge collective work for humanity.

Walaa Abdel Manaem (program leader in Cairo University) and Bassem Fleifel (online ambassador) have held some workshops in campus and online for the whole students to teach them "How to edit Wikipedia". On the other hand, Prof. Abeer Abdel-Hafiz has exerted great efforts with her students in addition to introducing Walaa to new classes of senior students for whom she has organized general seminars about Wikipedia and the education program. At the same time Walaa was assigning her Spanish department students of the first and second year to edit Wikipedia.
This term, Prof. Abeer let the chance to her students to choose any articles they would like to translate from the Spanish Wikipedia to the Arabic Wikipedia or working on articles about history. They already have chosen some articles to translate with the target of nominating them to be a featured and good articles.
Most of students worked on articles about different topics like history, writers, actors, history of food and drink, mayan literature, islam and politics, etc. This course itself achieved an exceptional record of Wikipedia Education program excellent content and the best term ever in the history of WEP in Egypt in general and in the Faculty of Arts, Cairo University in specific. Walaa has held 2 online webinars to follow up with her students in addition to the workshops held at the campus. Regarding numbers, 38 students joined this course, of which 35 are female and 3 are male students. They worked on 1748 articles adding more than 12,282,943 million bytes to the article namespace on the Arabic Wikipedia, with the help of the online ambassador, who also participated as a student.
See the course page of this group on the Arabic Wikipedia here.

Snippet: This fall masters students in History and Archeology at the University of Oslo take on the task of Wikipedia editing as one of the main parts in a subject on communication of History.
The University of Oslo is Norway’s largest higher education institution, and it is the first time Wikimedia Norway collaborates with this University in forming and using Wikipedia editing as a integrated part of higher education. The collaboration started by Wikimedia Norway contacting assistant professor John McNicol, who already had gotten some media attention on his eagerness to make students skilled in knowledge sharing.
Starting off with a two hour lecture on the secret world of Wikipedia and a two hour editing workshop in mid-September, and in October the students will evaluate the life of their articles. Has there been many additional edits on their articles? Discussions? Request to delete everything? For Wikimedia Norge it is fun to see the students both engaging in Wikipedia editing and using the ways of Wikipedia to discuss how knowledge is formed.

Стюартларга авторлык хокукларны бозуыбыз турында мөрәҗәгать иткәнче
editИлья Драконов бездәге җирле тәртипләребез турында бирелгән аңлатмаларыма һәм китерелгән дәлилләргә
карата "Миңа аңлатмагыз (ягъни — беләсем дә, аңлыйсым да, хәл итәсем дә килми, татарчаны да белмим), җәмгыятегездә Викимедиа тәртипләренә сыймаган хәл булган очракта турыдан-туры Стюартлар игътибарына китерегез" дип язды.
Хөрмәтле җәмәгать,
ТатВики суверенлыгы декларациясе нигезендә бар Викимедиа проектлары өчен мәҗбүри булган нигез тәртипләренә игътибар итмичә яши бирәбез.
Бозылган тәртипләрнең иң әһәмиятлеләре:
4. Үзгәртүләр кертү өчен уңайлы һәм дустанә мохитне тудыру.
5. Эчтәлекнең ирекле лицензия шартларында урнаштырылуы
Элеккесе Викимедиа Фонды һәм аның карамагындагы башка проектлары өчен олы проблемалар куркынычын тудырмый (вольер эчендә нишләсәләр дә ярый). Соңгысы — Википедия:Авторлык хокуклары битендә тасвирланган хокуки тәртипләрне дә хөрмәт итмәвебез (мәс. авторлык хокуклары белән якланылган текстларны унаштыруыбыз) — бөтен Викимедиа хәрәкәте өчен бик аяныч була алган мәсьәлә.
Сәләт (яшьләр оешмасы), Урман һәм башкалар үрнәкләрендә урланган текст чыганагы ==Чыганаклар/Сылтамалар== бүлегендә күрсәтелгән булса, башка очракларда — текст өзекләрен берәр браузерга кертеп табып була. Викимедиа тәртипләре нигезендә бар шундый мәкаләләр үзгәртелеп корылырга яки алардагы ирекле булмаган эчтәлек тиз бетерелергә тиеш.
Кызганычка, идарәчеләребез бу җаваплылыгына игътибар итми генә түгел, урнаштырылган кисәтү калыпларын бетерә, аларны урнаштыру өчен блоклау белән яный, авторлык хокукларын бозучы яңа мәкаләләр булдыра яки ирекле булмаган эчтәлек өсти. Бу мәсьәләне үзебез арабызда хәл итеп, башкаларның хокукларын хөрмәт итеп тәртипле яши башлавыбыз хәерле булыр иде.--frhdkazan (бәхәс) 13 мар 2016, 12:46 (UTC)
- Янгантаудагы семинары барышында башка күтәрелгән мәсьәләләр арасында бу сорауны да карадык. ВМРУ мөдире Владимир Медейко түбәндәге аңлатманы бирде: Template:Цитата--frhdkazan (бәхәс) 1 апр 2016, 07:20 (UTC)
- 2015 елның уртасыннан Инглиз Википедиясендә авторлык хокукларны бозучы битләрне һәм кулланучыларны ачыклаучы en:User:EranBot бот эшли башлады. SignPost атналык газетасының соңгы санында аның уңышлылыгы турында яңа мәкалә чыкты. Хөрмәтле идарәчебез Derslek исә югарыдагы аңлатмаларга карамастан (бар идарәчеләргә белдерелгәнен дәлилләре 1, 2), гамәлдәге хокук бозуларны төзәтү яки бу күтәрелгән аралашуда катнашу урынына яңа хокук бозучы мәкаләне булдырган, башкалардан да бу мәсьәләгә карата ләм-мим. Стюартларның арадашлыгына мөрәҗәгатьсез булмый мәллә? --frhdkazan (бәхәс) 29 апр 2016, 11:05 (UTC)
Draft Steward Request for Comment
edittt - Критика, тәкъдимнәр яки өстәүләр кабул ителә. Стюартларның бу мәсьәләне Викимедиа Фонды җитәкчелегенә ирештерү ихтималы аркасында, аларга мөрәҗәгать иткәнче, Россия халыклары телләрендәге һәм төрки Википедияләр вәкилләренең карашлары соралачак.
ru - Приглашаю критику, предложения и дополнения. В связи возможным доведением стюардами данного вопроса до внимания руководства Фонда Викимедиа, перед обращением к ним планирую запросить мнение участников Википедий на языках народов России и тюркоязычных коллег.
en - Criticizm, proposals and additions welcomed. The issue might end up being taken to the Wikimedia Foundation leadership, so before addressing them I plan to request comments of colleagues from Wikipedias in the languages of Russia and Turkic languages.

- түбәндә тасвирланган очракта киңәш ителгән гамәлләр турында аңлатмалар бирүегезне сорыйм.
Хәзерге хәлебез үзгәрергә тиеш дип санаганыгыз чакта, тәкъдимнәрегезне көтеп калам. Алдан ук рәхмәт.
Вәзгыять
Соңгы 4-5 ел дәвамында Википедиянең татартелле бүлегенең актив катнашучысы буларак, бездәге күпчелек мәкаләләребездәге күрсәтелгән "энциклопедик" мәгълүматның фактик ягыннан дөреслеген, плагиат яки контексттан тартып алынган булу-булмавын җиңел яки бөтенләй тикшерә алу өчен чыганаклары һәм алардагы төгәл урыны тиешлечә күрсәтелмәвен беләм — күпчелек очракларда максималь атрибуция буларак Чыганак/Сылтамалар/Искәрмәләр исемле бүлекләрендә берәр веб-сәхифә адресы гына урнаштырылган. Бу елның март ае башында исә мин ttwiki'да ирекле булмаган эчтәлекнең намуслы кулланылу һәм аның тиешле килеш форматлану таләпләрен системалы рәвештә бозылып килүе фактына тап булуым исә шаккаттырды — сыйфатлы (w:tt:Урман), хәттә сайланган (Сәләт) мәкаләләребезнең зур өлеше татартелле ММЧ һәм башка оешмаларның веб-сәхифәләреннән сүзгә-сүз күчерелгән текстлардан тора (турыдан-туры плагиат, еш төрле ирекле булмаган чыганакларда пәйда булган материалларның компиляциясе).
Кылынган гамәлләр
Идарә функциясен үтәү өчен сайланган катнашучыларыбызның бу мәсьәләгә игътибарларын җәлеп итү өчен, бәйле тиз бетерү критерие нигезендә шундый бер мәкаләнең бер бүлегенә КОПИВИО кисәтү калыбын урнаштырган идем — ttwiki'ның гамәлдәге бюрократыбыз аны озак уйламыча юк итте, бу гамәлем аркасында миңа чираттагы озынмөддәткә тыелу ихтималлыгы турында кисәтү ясады, фикерне ныгыту өчен кебек охшаш битләрне булдыру һәм авторлык хокуклары тәртибен бозучы эчтәлекне өстәү үрнәкләрне күрсәтте. Бу хәлнең үзгәрүе кирәклеге турында бүлегебез эчендә сөйләшүне башлау тырышлыгым (Форум:Гомуми мәсьәләләр, Идарәчеләргә мөрәҗәгатьләр) катнашучылар игътибарын артык җәлеп итә алмаганы, идарәчеләр форумына урнаштырылган мәгълүмат исә бюрократ тарафыннан бетерелгәне аркасында сезгә мөрәҗәгать итәргә булдым.
Проектэче мохит
Башка админнарның игътибарсызлыгы һәм/яки яклавы сәбәпле конкрет катнашучыбызның үз хыялый чынбарлыгын саклау өчен Викимедиа тәртипләрен систематик бозы тора ала (китерелгән аңлатмаларга, хәттә проектэче кагыйдәләргә һәм саклауга консенсуска карамастан төрле битләрне бәхәссез бетерү, тарихи логика буенча кергән төркемнәрдән чыгару, аноним һәм теркәлгән катнашучыларны нейтраль тарафларның карашын сорамыйча/публик бәхәссез тыю, үзе кылган тәртип бозуларына күрсәтелгәндә тулаем тыю белән янау, һ.б.). Моның аркасында катнашучылар саны үсми (хәттә элекке идарәчебез да проекттагы атмосферасына түзә алмыйча китте), дәвам итүчеләре исә админлыктан азат итү өчен таләп ителгән яңа тавыш бирүне оештырырга әзер түгел. Үземнен соңгы тыелуымнан (w:tt:Төркем:ССРБ газеталары булдыруым аркасында, 20.01.2015'дан 1 ай) вәзгыятьнең әллә күп үзгәрмәве сәбәпле, февральдә анарга үз теләге белән гамәлдәге кагыйдәбезне хөрмәт итү йөзеннән бюрократлыкка «сайлану» процедурасын башларга яки вәкәләтләреннән китәргә тәкъдим ясаган идем (үз вакытымда нәкъ аның бер таләбен хөрмәт итү өчен идарәче буларак сайлану процедурасымны туктатырга мәҗбүр булдым) — кызганычка шулай ук тыярга куркытуы белән җавап кайтарылды.
Мәсьәләнең ихтимал сәбәпләре
Бу вәзгыятьнең тамыры бик тирән булуын 2013 елда ук җәмгыятебезнең бар w:tt:Викимедиа проектлары өчен гамәлдәге Нигез мәсләкләр ТатВикига кагылмый дигән хаталы карашны җирле кагыйдә буларак раслаганыннан да күреп була, аңлаганымча — актив катнашучылар һәм идарәчеләр саны түбән, танылган арбитраж шурасы булмаган проектка җирле бюрократ статусын бирү (һәм проект үсешен стюартларның көндәлек рәвешендәге турыдан-туры контроленнән чыгару) белән бәйле булуы ихтимал.
Үзем турында
ТатВикидан соңгы тыелуым дәвамында Россия телләрендәге Википедияләрне үстерү проектының Мета-Вики өлешен үстерә башладым (+ мета киңәшләрнең русчага тәрҗемәләре), ТатВики'ны социаль челтәрләрдә популярлаштыру вәкиле, ВМРУ башлаган Күптеллелек проекты, Викимедиа Фонды раслаган Янгантау Вики-семинары катнашучысы, ВМРУ һәм Викимедиа Эстония оештырган фин-угыр вики-семинары өчен постер докладны әзерләдем.
ru - Проект текста обращения к стюардам
editУважаемые господа,
Прошу Вас дать разъяснение относительно следующего:
- Допустимо ли игнорирование участниками ttwiki требований резолюции Совета попечителей Фонда Викимедиа по лицензированию контента и, если всё-таки нет, тогда
- Что возможно/следует сделать для исправления ситуации, возникшей в результате допущения этого поколениями в остальном уважаемых администраторов и бюрократов, которые часто и сами вносили недопустимый контент и продолжают делать это сегодня.
Заранее спасибо.
В последние 4 года я достаточно активен в ttwiki и ранее натыкался на изолированные случаи наличия в статьях большого объёма текста вероятно скопированного из различных источников (книги/учебники/энциклопедии/печатные и онлайн-медиа, и т.д.) даже среди хороших (w:tt:Урман) и избранных (w:tt:Сәләт (яшьләр оешмасы)) статей - когда максимальной степенью атрибуции является URL-ссылка или название энциклопедии/книги в разделе Источники). Это меня беспокоило, но не казалось приоритетным т.к. у нас в разделе немало других нарушений, связанных с решением сообщества о том, что соблюдение Основополагающих принципов Викимедиа (и законов США) для ttwiki не обязательно.
Через год активной работы со справочными страницами ttwiki, а также мета-переводов, моё восприятие изменилось в марте, когда я стал свидетелем того, как действующий бюрократ добавляет компиляцию материалов из разных несвободных источников без чёткой атрибуции, несмотря на упомянутую выше резолюцию, а также того, что указанные вопросы также подпадают под требования внутренних ВП:Критерии быстрого удаления, ВП:Критерии добросовестного использования несвободного контента, ВП:5 столпов, ВП:Цитирование источников и даже правило при отсутствии или неясности внутренней политики, обращайся к политикам РуВики ...
Установленный мной на одну из секций статьи шаблон-предупреждение был незамедлительно удалён, мои действия заработали мне очередную угрозу о долгосрочной блокировки, тогда как сам Участник:Правда (перевод с татарского, бюрократ в результате цепного нарушения внутренней политики по выборам администраторов/бюрократов) продолжил практику, создав ещё одну подобную статью и добавив соответствующий контент в другую, и т.д. Попытка обсуждения необходимости исправления данной ситуации внутри раздела (Форум:Общие вопросы, Запросы к администраторам) значимого внимания участников не привлекла, с форума администраторов информация была удалена самим бюрократом.
О себе: кроме ttwiki, с 2015 года я активен в сообществе Википедий на языках России, подготовил доклады (1 и 2) к ВМРУ-инициированной конференции «Википедия и информационное общество». Занимаюсь популяризацией ТатВики в социальных сетях, один из инициаторов проекта Многоязычность на сайте ВМРУ, участник Янгантауского вики-семинара (наставник), Финно-угорского вики-семинара 2016 (постерный доклад).
Я также буду благодарен любой помощи/рекомендациям относительно использования какого-либо автоматизированного решения для подготовки/обновления списка статей нарушающих авторские права (например Eranbot) вместо ручной проверки всех предложений с помощью Google/Yandex. С уважением,
en - Draft Steward Request for Comment
editDear Sirs,
I request your clarification on the following:
- Is it Ok for ttwiki participants to ignore the requirements of Wikimedia Foundation Board of Trustees Resolution on Content Licensing and, if indeed it's not, then
- what should/can be done to correct this in a project where generations of admins and bureaucrats have been allowing and often themselves contributing non-compliant content and continue so today. Thank you in advance.
I'm quite active in ttwiki for last 4 years and I previously came across isolated cases of significant amounts of content likely to have been copy-pasted from various sources (books/textbooks/encyclopedias/printed & online media, etc.) even among Good (w:tt:Урман) and Featured (ex. w:tt:Сәләт (яшьләр оешмасы)) Articles - maximum attribution being URL or encyclopedia/book name in the Links section). This concerned me, but was not a priority as we are having plenty of other violations pursuant to 2013 community decision that Wikimedia's Founding principles (and U.S. laws) do not apply to ttwiki.
After a year of active work with ttwiki help & guideline pages, as well as meta-translation, something clicked in early March, when I've seen an active bureaucrat adding a compilation of materials from different non-free sources without clear attribution, despite the above-mentioned resolution, as well as ttwiki having respective issues covered by local WP:Speedy deletion criteria, WP:Non-free content criteria, WP:5 pillars, WP:Citing sources and even when local policy's unclear or missing, refer to adopted ruwiki policies rule ...
Copyvio warning template that I placed at one of the article sections was swiftly deleted, my actions earned me another long term block threat, whilst User:Truth (translation from Tatar, bureaucrat as a result of chain violation of local admin/breaucrat election policy) went on to create similar copyvio article and add copyvio content to another, and more such later. My efforts to inform ttwiki participants about the importance of fixing this (Village Pump/General, Requests to admins) didn't get much community attention, whilst the note at admins forum was deleted by the bureaucrat.
About myself: On top of ttwiki, since 2015 I'm active around Wikipedias in the languages of Russia, prepared reports (1 and 2) for WMRU-initiated «Wikipedia & informational society» conference, promote ttwiki daylybin social media (member of ComCom list), one of the initiators of Multilingualism project at WMRU wiki, participant of Yanghantau wikiseminar (mentor), Finno-Ugric Wikiseminar 2016 (poster report).
I would also appreciate any help/advice regarding engaging something similar to Eranbot or any other solution to automate preparation/updating copyvio articles list, as opposed to checking all article in Google/Yandex sentence by sentence manually. Regards, --frhdkazan (бәхәс) 6 май 2016, 11:01 (UTC)

Through June, we’re organizing an Inspire Campaign to encourage and support new ideas focusing on addressing harassment toward Wikimedia contributors. The 2015 Harassment Survey has shown evidence that harassment in various forms - name calling, threats, discrimination, stalking, and impersonation, among others - is pervasive. Available methods and systems to deal with harassment are also considered to be ineffective. These behaviors are clearly harmful, and in addition, many individuals who experience or witness harassment participate less in Wikimedia projects or stop contributing entirely.
Proposals in any language are welcome during the campaign - research projects, technical solutions, community organizing and outreach initiatives, or something completely new! Funding is available from the Wikimedia Foundation for projects that need financial support. Constructive feedback on ideas is appreciated, and collaboration is encouraged - your skills and experience may help bring someone else’s project to life. Join us at the Inspire Campaign so that we can work together to develop ideas around this important and difficult issue. With thanks,

CEE Spring 2017
editПривет! Рад увидеть татарскую Википедию среди участников CEE Spring. Создай пожалуйста здесь список статей о Татарстане для возможности полноценного участия. Чтоб и на других языках было что писать :) --Visem (talk) 21:34, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
- Приветствую, Visem. Татарстан выделять вроде не совсем правильно – там живёт менее трети татар, хотя по официальной доле татар самый татарский регион. В Поволжье и Приуралье итого уже около 60%, в целом по России ~ 80%, по Евразии >95% (и везде Родина ...). Так что про татарский мир желающий найдёт, что написать. Коллегам в ТатВики предложил список на следующий год определить в tt:Бәхәс:Проект:Вики-яз — 2017. --Frhdkazan (talk) 19:03, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Почему? Ну можно по татарскому языку или народу список сделать, как в этом году с крымскими татарами и с эрзя. Просто в даному случае есть еще отдельная територия, т.е. отдельная республика, но это не значит что нельзя выходить за ее пределы. Может быть статья "Татары в Украине" или "Татары в Казахстане" например. Все таки когда есть список хотя бы небольшой, то есть ориентир. Могу помочь в составлении списка, если есть необходимость. --Visem (talk) 21:57, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
- Виктор, если чувствуешь необходимость и хочешь помочь в составлении списка, бери карты в свои руки. Я сейчас больше по другой части ... --Frhdkazan (talk) 05:45, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
- Привет! Я вот создал список, дополни пожалуйста чем нужно и убери что не нужно. --Visem (talk) 19:23, 30 April 2017 (UTC)
- Фархад, я тогда добавлю список и попрошу организаторов включить в тематическую неделю. --Visem (talk) 17:40, 11 May 2017 (UTC)

Translations for Commons Android app
editHi Frhdkazan,
Thanks for your endorsement on the Commons app renewal proposal! :) To answer your question, Russian translations for the app can be submitted at translatewiki. It appears that all of the Russian translations have already been done, however many existing Russian translations still need to be reviewed. You can also submit translations for other languages by selecting a different language from the drop-down menu on the upper right.
Cheers! Misaochan (talk) 08:39, 18 July 2017 (UTC)

Update regarding Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons tutorial videos
editHello,
I regret to inform you that the series of motivational and educational videos project, which had been planned introduce Wikipedia and some of its sister projects to new contributors, is being discontinued.
There are multiple factors that have led to this decision. The initial budget and time estimates were far too small for a project of this scale and complexity. Also, my simultaneous involvement in Cascadia Wikimedians User Group was problematic due to the shortage of human resources for the user group, which resulted in my spending far more time trying to help the user group than I had planned, so my time and attention were diverted from this video project to assisting the user group.
You can find more information in the final report for the grant.
I regret that this project did not fulfill the hopes that many of us had for it, and I hope that in the future someone with the necessary resources will choose to resume work on it or a similar project. If you are interested in working on this or a similar project then please contact the WMF grants team.
On a personal note, I am retiring from the Wikimedia community. Perhaps I will return someday.
Regards,
--Pine✉ 23:20, 30 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikidata weekly summary #300
edit- Welcome to the 300th Weekly Summary!
The weekly newsletter was started by Lydia at the very beginning of the Wikidata project, even before the first deployment, to keep the community informed about the developments, the new projects and tools. More than five years later, the newsletter is still there, its content powered by the community, and sent every week all along the years. I wanted to say a warm "thank you!" to each person who helped filling the Weekly Summary <3
Over the past years, as you know, Wikidata has grown a lot. More data, more tools, more editors and reusers, more exciting projects led by the community. The Weekly Summary has evolved with us, and the 300th edition seems a good moment to ask you all your suggestions about the newsletter, how it could continue evolving, and how you would like to improve it.
On that purpose, you can find a feedback page to express all your ideas about the Weekly Summary. We're very interested to know more about your reading habits, the parts you're more or less interested in, the new topics you would like to share with the community. Thanks in advance for filling it.
I stay available anytime to discuss with you, feel free to contact me if you have any question or concern! Cheers, Léa

- The Wikidata Query Service is an infinite source of amazing data and one of the best ways to explore and use Wikidata. (TweetsFactsAndQueries)
- QuickStatements is a powerful tool that can edit or add Wikidata item en masse, via a text editor or importing a spreadsheet. (Éder Porto via Facebook)
- Mix'n'match (manual), which helps us to interlink Wikidata with the rest of the web and the world :-) (Spinster, Siobhan via Twitter)
- WikiShootMe! allows you to see Wikidata items plotted out on a map and shows you whether they have images or not. (Ham II)
- Yair Rand's WikidataInfo script adds the QID of the equivalent Wikidata item to the page being viewed (on sister projects), along with its Wikidata label and description. (Andy Mabbett)
- Recoin measures the degree of completeness of relevant properties of a Wikidata item and suggests any relevant statements that can be added to the item. (Rachmat04)
- Template:Wikidata list ("Listeria") Self-updating lists on wiki pages, to drive projects and show results. Over 14,000 now live. (Jheald)
- DuplicateReferences gadget adds a link to copy references and add them to other statements on the same item. (PKM)
- checkConstraints gadget adds notifications on the interface to easily notice the violation of constraints and help people fixing them (Léa)
- Resolve authors lists scientific articles with the property author name string (P2093) and groups them on the basis of co-authors and topic, which helps to distinguish people referred to by identical name strings. (Daniel Mietchen)

Do you have an idea about how to measure the health of your community? Do you want to review ideas that others have submitted? Through August 10th, we are inviting ideas on how to capture the well-being of Wikimedia communities, in terms of matters like conflict resolution, effective content creation, and being able to contribute in a collaborative environment. Ideas can be focused on either quantitative techniques, such as gathering raw data, or qualitative techniques, like surveying contributors. If you are submitting an idea, guidance is available for how to move your idea into implementation, such as through a grant or starting a Phabricator task to engage with developers.
If you're interested, consider joining the Inspire Campaign. I JethroBT (WMF) 17:13, 13 July 2018 (UTC)

wikisisters
editdear farhad, today we were chattting about our work. here there are some links to my endeavour on this field, framed with two reflections on using wikis in school, one presented in belgrade in 2008 (https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Slovene_student_projects_in_Wikipedia_and_Wikisource -- in english) and one presented recently (https://sl.wikiversity.org/wiki/%C5%A0ola_v_wikijih -- in slovene, use google translator for the basic understanding).
it consists of the textobook about web based writing on wikibooks (https://sl.wikibooks.org/wiki/Nova_pisarija) and Wikiveristy pages for my courses: https://sl.wikiversity.org/wiki/Strokovno_pisanje , https://sl.wikiversity.org/wiki/Uvod_v_%C5%A1tudij_slovenske_knji%C5%BEevnosti , https://sl.wikiversity.org/wiki/Magistrski_seminar , etc., pointing to Wikisource, where we build a national repository of all the belletristic texts in Slovene language (https://sl.wikisource.org/wiki/Wikivir:Slovenska_leposlovna_klasika) and to the students' assesments at Wikipedia.
of course, uploading images onto wikimedia commons is a part of the job. language diversity has been discussed elswhere. please peep into the the work done, i would appreciate your comments, miran
Cultural hegemony
editHi, Farhad, we were talking against language discrimination. In this question I've been very much inspired by the writing of Domenico Fiormonte:
- Domenico Fiormonte: Towards monocultural (digital) Humanities? InfoLet 12. jul. 2015.
- Domenico Fiormonte. 26.702 prejudice and ignorance? Humanist Discussion Group 21. jan. 2013.
- Domenico Fiormonte. Digital Humanities from a global perspective. Laboratorio dell’ISPF11 (2014).
- Domenico Fiormonte. Digital Humanities and the Geopolitics of Knowledge. Digital Studies 13. oct. 2017.
But maybe you already know Domenico. Kind regards, --Hladnikm (talk) 11:13, 19 October 2018 (UTC)miran
